The majority or internet users use a search engine to seek for information, so you really need to make sure your new website is visible in major search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Baidu, and Altavista.
12. Social Bookmarking: Social bookmarking sites are gaining more and more users. To optimize your social bookmarking efforts, then, it becomes obvious that you want to research the best social bookmarking sites for you and your particular interest or business. Social bookmarking sites include StumbleUpon, Digg or Reddit, In social bookmarking, make a practice of supporting at least six other writers by adding comments or rating their articles for every one article you post. Also if you come across an article you really liked, bookmark it.
If you are submitting articles at a site like Digg, do not forget that you are asking people to take the time to read and rate that article. Therefore, be sure you are only sending your best and well-written article. If you submit two to three articles everyday, you will likely be ignored. People in the Digg community have lots of people they support and they simply don’t have time to read hundreds of submissions.
13. Social Networking: Social Networking simply means using social networking sites as a way to network with other people and promote your Internet content. Millions of internet users seem to be spending much of their time on twitter and facebook these days! You don’t have to spend a lot of time social networking but you do have to spend some time. That time also needs to be consistent. One of the advantages of using social networks as a marketing tool is that you can reach a lot of people and it’s free. These Social Networks can be used to create a great deal of free traffic and give you competitor research information, but do not forget that they also offer paid for traffic advertising programmes to take advantage of.
Social networking is heavily dependent upon building long-term relationships with your potential consumers rather than focusing on the quick one time sale. What’s even better about social networking is that you have the potential to reach more people in a quicker way for less cost than traditional advertising. Then, as you continue to contribute to the community and people come to know you, trust you and recognize you as a leader, your list will start to grow. Let me give you one of my marketing secrets: I submit the headline of every article I post on my blog to all my social networking sites. And this has been working for me – driving traffic to my blog.
