Intense Ways To Promote Your Web Site
Lots of traffic on the fast and dangerous freeways is bad. Lots of traffic on the Internet is good. Do you see the difference? Let me help you with this.
With over 60 million web sites on the Net, you need a solid, testing strategy for steering and drawing customers to your home business web site. Learning how to get it takes time, reading, testing and experience.
You can do it if you are willing to pay the price. Here are some ways to help you get started.
Search Engines
Search engines are the virtual yellow pages for home business web sites. Over 80% of Internet surfers and searchers use search engines to find information on the web.
There are thousands of search engines. So, what are you to do then to work the search engines for traffic? Please let me show you.
To get the most traffic to your site, list with the biggest search engine players: Yahoo, Google, and MSN. Smaller search engines also get results from the big three so you will be covered in case customers visit less popular engines. Less popular engines will be visited.
Looking Good
Your business web site can be simple or complex but it must be functional and attractive. Have you ever tried to get information advertised by a web site but could not extract it because the navigation was impossible for you?
Worse yet, have you ever had to forego ordering a product from a web site because it was too complicated to figure out how to order from it? Why waste time putting up a website if it does not work?
It is imperative to make sure your site does what it is supposed to do. That is, to provide customers with concise, clear useful information about your product or service.
Be wary of making things too complicated. You might as well feed your leads hemlock if they are not going to be able to figure out your web site.
Amazingly, most web sites are a nightmare to figure out. The site should be easy to navigate or customers will look elsewhere. Count on it.
Your web site should also look professional, not cheap or sloppy. I know you are thinking this is obvious but most web sites do not make their owners any money for these very reasons.
If you are not design savvy, spend money on a good web designer. The investment will pay off, a lot, by attracting more targeted people to your web page.
On line Ads
The Internet has many places where you can list your home web site for free. To guarantee the most exposure, place your ad on several (20 or more) sites and repeat the process every month for life.
After you are absolutely, positively sure your web site is working and navigable and functional you are then ready to try some cheapy, to start with, paid ads that are focused. These will bring you more serious internet leads.
Article Directories and Writers
Consider writing keyword related articles to your website. If you cannot do this yourself you can farm this task, rather cheaply, out to Article Directories. Most of them have career article writers who can write articles for you on almost any subject you wish.
Once these articles are published on other article directories you will have a permanent ad on the internet virtually forever because the article directories leave them on their web site.
Other article directories will even take the same article and place it on their web sites also. So you now have viral marketing that grows and grows.
There are professional article submitting sites on the internet now that can submit your article to thousands of sites and ezines very cheaply for you. This is one of the best and cheapest ways to advertise.
Banner advertisements
Banner advertisements can be as effective as TV spots in increasing customer awareness of your business. A banner ad should be direct, i.e. promote a benefit of rather than just the name of the product or service. Please read the last sentence, it is very important for you to understand.
Try participating in a banner exchange program such as Link Exchange that connects your web site to other company sites that have similar customer bases.

Cheap Internet Banner Advertising – Friend or Foe?
For years internet banner advertising dominated the World Wide Web. Everyone was bidding ridiculously high amounts of money for banner advertisements. Then came the dot com crash and banner advertisements lost its luster. Internet banner advertising has become a thing of the past, or has it? The truth is there is still a place for internet banner advertising, now I’m not saying that the banner ad is making a comeback. But, they have gotten quite a bit cheaper, to the tune of mere pennies, over the years and if you utilize them right they can be a great marketing tool for your online business.
Internet banner advertising used to be simple! All you had to do was throw up some flashy banners and wait for people to come crawling to your web site. Those days are over, now you have to earn their click with great copyrighting. But, that is ok because I am about to show you some simple techniques that will allow you to put the banner ad back in your marketing arsenal.
The following steps will help you transform your cheap internet banner advertising into a priceless marketing weapon. With these simple instructions, there will always be traffic on your web site.
1. For starters forget about all of the flashy stuff! To get the clicks you need to use great copyrighting. With a banner ad you have limited space so every word must count. You need to capture the reader’s attention in your first statement. If you don’t, you will not get the click. It is best if you can make your banner ad look like a traditional classified ad.
2. The placement of your ad is critical for your success. You need to find the right network and make sure you list your ad on sites that focus on your niche. It is a waste of money for you to do otherwise. In short, don’t waste your time placing a banner ad for internet marketing in a network of web sites that focuses on gardening.
3. The objective is to convert words into clicks with your banner ad. Now that you have found a good advertising market for your ad you must focus on the content. As I said earlier, it is best if your banner ad appears like a newspaper classified ad. The trick is to develop an ad using just 2-3 sentences that will get the web surfers attention. That takes a strong headline followed by a sentence that leaves them wanting more, forcing the click you desire.
4. The key to any good advertising plan is testing. Most internet banner advertising companies will allow you to run more than one banner ad. They rotate your ads through their network of sites and you are provided the clicks per impression information for each ad. This enables you to test different ads with different copy to see which one gets the most clicks. When you find an ad that gets a click thru rate of over 3% you have found a winner. Take that ad and buy more impressions and expand it to other networks.
In summary pick the right network of web sites to run your first ads. Write attractive ads with great copy, then test, test, and test some more. Find that winning ad and expand your advertising sphere.
Internet banner advertising can be an effective form of marketing online. Even though banners aren’t as useful as they used to be, their steep discount in cost can make them as effective as pay per click advertising with the right ad. Follow the steps outlined above, test your ads until you find a winner, and then expand your reach with a high converting ad. If you do you will get cheap traffic to your site and start cashing in on that cheap internet banner advertising.
