Advice, Hints and Tips on Marketing Your Website


So, you now have the most perfect website known to man, woman or child.  It is the ice-cool, minimalist art haven - or the colourful, multimedia extravanganza - you always dreamed it could be.


Surely now the world will hasten to your perfect pages and rejoice with you?

Er... no. 

For one thing, they need to know that you are up and running before they can beat a path to your door.  So, it would be helpful if you were to appear in the Search Engines that the vast majority of internet surfers now use to find their information.

Not always an easy task.  It can sometimes seem as though there are as many techniques for encouraging the Search Engines to add your website to their lists, as there are websites!  The mighty Google.com is famed for it's level of fussiness in terms of which websites it chooses to show in its Top 30 - the first 3 pages of listings it presents to you when you ask it a question.

Truth be told, this is far too big a discussion to hold in the few pages you'll find here.  Though I do discuss in detail the best ways to market your website online with every client who
purchases a Website Plan.

However, you will find plenty of advice on making your website as attractive and visitor-friendly as possible in these articles.  I've even included resources that should come in handy once your website is up and running - like the the list of
online Directories you can submit your web site link to.

Enjoy.  And if you find any links, or have any suggestions for additions to these articles and listings, please don't hesitate to
let me know

Wishing you a great internet experience!

Andrea

I will say it again... wonderful, to hear the sounds of the park. I have not figured out how to listen to the grass grow, but you have done a wonderful thing with this sound stuff.”
