There are millions of web sites trying to get
listed in the top 20 spots of the major search engines. That amounts
to a lot of competition! I say if you can't get listed at the top,
indirectly get to the top.How do you do this? Look up the top 20 web
sites on the major search engines under the keywords and phrases
people would find your web site. The key would be to then advertise
on those web sites. The most expensive way would be to buy ad space
on those web sites. If you don't want to spend any money, you could
use the ten strategies below. These strategies may not apply to
every web site.
1. Participate on their discussion boards.
You could post questions, answer other peoples questions, and join
in on conversations. Just include your signature file and link at
the end of your messages.
2. Ask the web site owner if they
would like a free ebook to giveaway to their visitors. You could
have them link to your web site or include your ad in the free
ebook.
3. Submit content to their web site. You could write
articles for their web site and include your resource box and link
at the end of the article. If they publish it, you'll indirectly be
at the top of the search engines.
4. Write an excellent
article review of their web site, products or services. Then publish
the review on your web site. E-mail the web site owner and tell him
or her about it. They may link to your web site so their visitors
read it.
5. Ask the owner of the web site if they would want
to trade advertising. If you don't get as much traffic as they do,
you could throw in some extra incentives.
6. Propose a cross
promotion deal with the web site. You both could promote each others
products or services together in one package deal. This means a
mention and link back to your web site.
7. Give the web site
a testimonial for their product or service.
Include a little
text link for your web site with the testimonial. You never know; it
could end up on their ad copy.
8. Post your advertisement on
their free classified ad section on their web site. You want to be
sure you have an attractive headline so they will read your
ad.
9. Post your text link on their free-for-all links
page.
You want to go back and post your link regularly so it
stays towards the top.
10. Sign their guest
books. You could leave a short compliment about their web site on
their guest book. Just include your signature file and link at the
end of your message.
