Common Sense While Promoting Your Website

In previous articles, I have discussed various places you can submit your website such as Search Engines, FFA pages, Classifieds, and Safe list, and what to expect in return. Never forget to always use your common sense when doing any submissions. Do not put your posting across multiple categories, but stay to the category that matches your theme as close as possible and only post there. IF you do not follow this advice, you will be banned from future postings at many places you have spent some time getting listed with. Why? If you do not follow the rules, then you make others think you are only just another spammer, and that is what you have become by letting your desires outweigh your common sense. You will end up losing more than you will ever gain by doing so. You have to always think of quality first and coverage second while on the internet. Directories: In my opinion, these are actually search engines aimed at targeted niches. You will find some that you can only submit to if you pay a fee, some that require a 'link back', some that you have to register with, and some that will let you submit without any requirements. Most, if not of the pure paid inclusion type will give you the option of a faster listing with a 'link back' or a slower one without. This is where having a 'links' page maybe of some value to your site, although I am not sure if such a page will actually pay off for anything else but to keep your link on a specific Directory. The thought is that with a link to your site on the Directory, the major search engines may pick these up as additional links to your site. Here you should pay close attention to the Directories you are listing with, making sure they are themed close to your website's theme. Many Directories are human edited and they will go to your site and check it out to see if your site meets their quality standards. Just as you have a list of search engines, you will want a good list of Directories and the requirements of them, if possible. Others will send a robot to check out your site during the process of submission and will insert the information it needs on your submission form and still others will send their robot to your links page url to confirm their link before allowing your posting. By doing a search on Google, I ran across a really good site that takes a lot of the effort out of manual submission by listing what each of the listed Directories require or take to submit. You may want to save the following link as I have and start going thru the listed Directories. http://www.adcallads.com/ Are there others? I am sure there are but this is the one I like. Once again it is from one of my associate programs that also offers other items and products of which you are under no obligation what so ever to use, just pick and choose what you need, if any. Chat rooms: In my opinion a chat room is still the best way to communicate with your clients or associate members. Just another form of VOIP but with the ability to be specific to your website, associate programs or whatever. Ones with sound will cost or be a little more difficult to set up but are well worth the effort. Conference calls: The use of conference calls has seen a recent up-swing in usage by many on the internet. Here you may have to pay and you will have to enter a 'pin' number for access. If the call is worth it to you, then the cost won't matter and the benefits of the conference maybe of great value to your on-line success.
