Are there anyways of advertising my web page for free?i just want to get my domain name out on the internet.?
The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?......... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages.





Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website, in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.





You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo.





Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them.





A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.





Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material.





Placement of Metatags:





A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name.





The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services.





And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory.





Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on Yahoo.com: Begin with the search query "pizza downtown los angeles." It will bring up some 1.4 million+ websites as results. Check out where "Pizza Next Door" is ranked. It's in the Top Five! Again, Pizza Next Door's high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Yahoo's publication guidelines.





Good luck!

Reply:Hi,





sorry to hear that you fell for one of those "fireproof" shopping sites.


Maybe it makes you feel better, when you know, that 99% of all websites don't have substantial traffic.

What you can do is either to cut your losses and start something more sensible or( if you feel your shopping site really has potential) start working on the traffic.





But to get free traffic you need great content first. The best free traffic comes from the search engines, but only if you offer interesting and unique content.

Reply:Ok, you hav a website and you need to move traffic in. Here are some tips that helped my website:





1. I created a blog for free and started writing, giving information what I am passionate about e.g. and because my business is design - I talked about web design, videos on line, new softwares. So depending what your website is about, find an aread which you can chat about and start blogging.





This will create readship volume of people and start getting people going to your wevbsite. For it to work, you have to be consistent, - so, keep blogging with stuff that will interest people. It can be anything or even about the challenges of settng up an Internet business and what to watch out for. You already have experience in this now, so use it to your advantage.





2. You can create banners and share knowledge on different forums. Then upload your banner dies at http://www.picoodle.com/





When upload is finish, it will give you a link. You can paste this link in your blogger and in forums you share knowledge or interesting topics of yours. Then put a link for people to go back your business website.





3. The key here is FINDING your Community. To do that, you need to invest time, and be use the TOOLS that are already there. No need to re-invent the wheel. The internet is powerful if you sit down for a moment and think of ideas, - surf the net NOT TO BUY anything but to find out how others have done it.





4. Build relationship with people online and offline. Keep it consistent and slowly people will trust you to find out and ask, "so, what do you do." When asked, don;t kill the moment. Just briefly say what you do and give a link. That is it. Let the people choose to click on the link.





Here is an ARTICLE on Traffic to your Website:





Web Traffic Introduction





If you're reading this, I likely don't need to explain the fact that unless a site has visitors, the rest of it is absolutely meaningless. You can hire professional designers, and experts to write articles and web content, but unless you have visitors, it's just another package of junk cluttering the internet. How to break out of this junk pack, and be seen and read, is at the same time easy and difficult. Easy because there is a logical way you can go about acquiring and building traffic. Difficult because there are about 100 million others who are doing the same thing.





Before we go about trying to build traffic, let's do a little analysis of the kind of traffic you need. There's targeted traffic, which means that the visitor coming to you from that source likely is looking for exactly what you have on your site. This would be from search engines, web directories where you are listed in that category, forums which serve your industry, or sector and ad branding campaigns, where you advertise products alongwith your website.





Then there's general traffic, which means the visitor could be from anywhere, even a totally unrelated site, and may or may not have any interest in the things your site has to offer. This can happen when you buy traffic from traffic sellers, do direct mail campaigns, and your link appears on pages such as news pages, which draw a general audience.





The thing you have to remember about traffic is that these are human visitors, and you need to cultivate them, and keep them coming back for more. This is what we call 'repeat' or 'bookmark' visitors. If you have a 100 visitors this month, and 10 of them keep coming back, means that next month you'll have 110. The month after that 120. And so on. This is just the basic calculation. The number of new visitors also has to increase exponentially each month, and we'll be looking at ways to achieve that.





The amount of money you earn depends directly on the number of 'eyeballs' or visitors you have. So say you're earning $150 from a 1000 visitors, the best thing you can do is increase the number of visitors to say, 5000. And then try for more. And so on. Design, content, hosting, etc. is all fine for finetuning what you offer, but ultimately, what you earn comes down to how many people visit your site. Simple Math.





Lastly, you need to study and analyze your incoming traffic. What is your clickthru ratio? What is your sales conversion ratio? Where is your traffic coming from? Which of your pages are the most popular? Which ad banners work? How much traffic do you have? Is it going up, or down? How much does each visitor cost you? All of this, and more, can be accomplished by means of traffic analying tools such as Webalizer and Google Analytics.
