Explode your Search Engine Results without Ever Paying for Advertising Again
When I first started my online business, I had absolutely no
idea what I was doing. With the help of a friend, we mapped out
the initial business plan I would follow to success. The funny
thing is that neither one of us had any clue how the internet
worked, but armed with professional certifications in accounting
and auditing and with a ton of high quality work experience we
figured that we had this nailed. We did not.
The one good thing about starting the business was that I could
not invest any real capital into the business to get it off and
running, as many businesses are required to do when first
starting out. I had a meager startup budget of $100. This proved
to be my strength and not a weakness as I originally thought it
would be.
After getting started with a domain name, arranging hosting,
building my web site and then finally publishing, I was
astonished by how many "opportunities" came my way to help me
achieve success. Everyone had a best of that and a best of this.
If I took part in just a few of these great ideas, I would have
drawn down my budget and some more in no time.
I had to be innovative, and this is what I did. I decided to do
everything that I could free or it would not be done.
* I listed my site in every free directory I could locate. * I
listed my web address on every search engine that I could think
of, even taking advantage of the free submission services that
are
available. * I sought out as many high quality competitor
link exchange programs. * I wrote an e-book and started an
affiliate program of my own. * I began writing articles to post
out as free content.
So how will my experience of doing everything free help explode
your search engine results? Let us look at what is going on here.
Listing in directories and search engines - Your web site name
will appear in the results when someone conducts a search. Link
Exchanges - You will benefit from someone else's traffic. When
visitors come across your link on another site, it will direct
them to your site. Affiliate Programs - These serve two
purposes, firstly you can make money from customers purchasing
your e-book and secondly, you will have a link back to your site
from the affiliate web site. Writing Articles - When submitting
articles as free content for others, your web site name will be
included in the article and readers will be able to get to your
site from the article.
These are just a few ideas for someone looking to get increased
web traffic to their site; there are certainly many more great
ideas. My closing advice is to search the web for the best ideas
that best fit your situation.
