   This will depend on your skill levels and what kind of website you have. For someone with reasonably good writing skills (applies to most people) article marketing is a good choice. You do not have to be a professional writer to do this and most people can do it.

   It works like this. First write articles about your website topic i.e. provide good information about different aspects of your subject that will help people to understand more.

   Then submit them to article directories. EzineArticles.com is the best known, but there are many more. Be sure to include a link back to your site in the ‘author’s resource box’. Within the words used in your link (anchor text) include the most important keyword phrase for the page you are linking to, plus a call to action for the reader e.g. ‘To find out more go to…’

   Article marketing works to increase http://bit.ly/bymvXb” target = “_blank” rel = “dofollow”>http://bit.ly/bymvXb” target = “_blank” rel = “dofollow”>website traffic because people will read your article and be motivated to find out more at your site (if you do motivate them). Page rank is also passed from the high PR article directories to your site, so increasing your position in the search engine results pages (serps) and bringing you more traffic.

   We offer the following definitive tutorial which is based on a webmaster article from google.com.

   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.

   Good luck!

   link to other sites if you don’t have money to spend
   or pay per click advertising.

   If a potential customer searches for a product or service..will they find you?

   This is the most important question to ask yourself, if you own a business. So many owners say, "I have a great website". Yet I search for them and can’t find them anywhere. Hire a reputable marketing company to do quality SEO for your business if you want more clients/customers. Trying to DIY can result in even worse ratings. If cost is a concern, SEO can typically run only $100 per month. And with the current state of our economy, many marketing companies will work within your budget.

   You can also get listed on microsites, which you can post coupons, promotions, and more business information automatically. Bringing much more exposure to your business. Join business directory sites for as low as $50 a month for a lower budget start.

   There are many options to make your business a household name, just pick one and go for it!
