Creating Your Web Sites Promotional Strategy
by Shelley Lowery
Creating a successful Internet presence involves much more than designing a great web site or having the "perfect" product. Listing your web site with the Search Engines is your first step. However, you must not solely depend upon the Search Engines to bring you traffic. You must design a complete promotional strategy and work it every day.
A good way to organize your promotions is to set up a web page that will contain your complete strategy. This page should be stored on your hard drive and not uploaded to your server. Your page should contain four sections.
• Daily Promotions
• Weekly Promotions
• Monthly Promotions
• Miscellaneous Promotions
Each of these four sections should contain the appropriate information for each of your promotional resources, such as web site name, user ID, password (if applicable) and hyperlinked web addresses for each web site you plan to use for your promotions. This will enable you to open your web page each day and visit each daily promotional link you have listed.
Daily Promotions
Your daily promotions should include visiting and participating in some popular discussion boards. Although you may not advertise on discussion boards, you can include your signature file with your post.
For a complete listing of some of the top discussion boards, visit:

Weekly Promotions
Your weekly promotions should consist of placing a paid ezine advertisement and/or arranging ad swaps with fellow publishers. Visit the Directory of Ezines for all the information you'll need to find targeted ezines. http://www.web-source.net/cgi-bin/t.cgi?l=doe
To organize your ad placements and swaps, place the publication names, publisher names, ad dates and hyperlinked web addresses within your weekly promotions list.
Monthly Promotions
Your monthly promotions should include writing an article in the area of your expertise, Search Engine promotions and advertising.
Writing Articles:
Writing articles that may be freely published with your bylines is one of the best promotional methods online. Your article may be published in hundreds of ezines, on web sites or even in magazines. To learn more about writing articles for publication, read the article entitled, "Write For Publicity." http://www.web-source.net/write.htm
To organize your monthly promotions, place the names and hyperlinked web addresses for each of your promotional resources within your monthly promotions section.

Search Engines:

The most popular pay-per-click program is the pay-per-click Search Engines. You can learn more about pay-per-click Search Engines here: http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com/
Advertising:
Google AdWords provides a simple way to purchase highly targeted advertising, regardless of your budget.
