Answer 2

The best free advertising online.

A while back I wrote an article titled, The Top 10 Free Websites to Advertise. This laid out the 10 best websites where it was completely free to advertise on them. They included:

   1. Craigslist.com

   2. Blogger.com

   3. MySpace.com

   4. Reference.com

   5. EzineArticles.com

   6. GoArticles.com

   7. Backpage.com

   8. Dmoz.org

   9. Yahoo Answers

  10. FAQfarm.com

Each of these sites are unique in their own way but effective in providing an outlet to advertise your business free. This is perfect for those who need to advertise on a budget, their products and services. Small business for the most part doesnt lend itself to have big advertising budgets, so finding a place to "get your name out there" without paying for it is important.

To advertise on a budget effectively you must have a web presence, and preferably a website. If you don't your small business is only treading water before it goes under. A website is the door that can open your small business to a phenomenal growth track because of the power of search engine optimization (SEO). There is a reason why Google® and Yahoo® have been some of the fastest growing companies of all time, its because search engines work. I personally use Google so much a day I lose track of how many times, and this goes for a majority of its users. For more information about SEO and how powerful a high ranking can be in Google read, How Important is a High Google Ranking to Your Small Business

Now that we have the understanding that SEO is the number one way to get free advertising by a very wide margin lets focus on one of the other ways to work at making free advertising more effective for your small business.

Social networking as a whole are becoming as popular as search engines such as Google and Yahoo. In fact Google bought Youtube® and started their own Myspace® type website called Orkut® and Yahoo attempted to buy Facebook®. Social networking is such a bonanza that doesnt even know their own limits of how large they will grow. Where does your small business fit in? Since they are free there is no money investment to make, but you will have to invest your time, especially in the beginning. You will need to take time to learn the site, set up your profile, and make friends. Remember, you are looking for ways to make the time you spend using this website as an advertising tool as fruitful as possible. Of course set up your profile with the focus of your business objectives and reaching your goals, and always abide within the rules set by the websites. Your investment of time is your efforts to build your network, because it will take trial and error to learn what is best for your business in social networking. Taking the time to build your network is the number one emphasis when it comes to social networking for your small business.

There are other emphasis which I will list below in no particular order:

    * Try an individual profile as a representative of your business before you try a group profile for your business to give an idea of the time it will require to build a network

    * Dont sign up for too many social networks, you risk diluting your message and emphasis.

    * Share the networking responsibility with other employees or business owners once you have a business profile

    * Dont be distracted easily, remained focus on what your business objective and building your network to reach your goals. If needed, set goals for building your network.

    * Dont be afraid to get a little personable, people do enjoy talking to other people when networking, not just a profile on a website.

    * Dont be random when searching for friends for your network. Its a waste of time, choose your friends carefully, and then extend invitations to their friends and their friends and so on.

    * Alter your preferences on your profile to reduce spam and unsolicited offers. This will save you time as well.

Remember social networks can be people who are very passionate in one way or another about their cause so you need to be the same way concerning your small business on social networks. If you are its a very easy way to advertise and grow your small business on a budget.

Hey,

The cheapest and easiest way for you to market your website is with google web search. This will help more people view your web site. So what you need is a SEO.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As a marketing strategy for increasing a site's relevance, SEO considers how search algorithms work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site's coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more noticeable efforts may include adding unique content to a site, ensuring that content is easily indexed by search engine robots, and making the site more appealing to users. Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that tend to harm search engine user experience. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques and may remove them from their indices.

The initialism "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers", terms adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, URLs, and shopping carts that are easy to optimize.

Kansas' answer is correct, but only too a point.

First, pay per click is a great option.  However you need a) a targeted campaign for each search term (this is what Google even suggests--see the Google Business YouTube channel)

b) you need targeted landing pages based on the searches--that have been optimized for the search term and for the user to take action (call, get on email list, connect via Facebook or Linked In, etc..)

c) experiment with pricing, copy of ad, and landing page configuration

d) The call to advertise across all social networks he/she describes is likewise misguided:

>>Start with Social Networks: Yahoo 360, Yahoo Answers, MySpace, Facebook Pages, YouTube, Twitter, etc.. Get your name in front of people by joining appropriate groups, contributing, answering questions, etc.

A more targeted approach to the geo-target or socio-economic or niche product site via contextual advertising is a far, far better strategy.

While it makes an interesting experiment, its likely that your search specific campaign perform better than this blanket contextual form of search engine marketing.

If you want to create your own landing pages and don't know HTML, I suggest using a blogging platform like Wordpress (if you have a tad of technical or web saavy).  Alternatively, you could just outsource this task for to a programmer or designer.

The final component of this strategy would be linkbuilding.  Lay out a strategy for creating links via white hat linkbuilding methods (as opposed to black hat.  White hat is ethical business practice and black hat is not).

Hope this helps and provides better direction to your online marketing efforts.

I believe I can provide you with some suggestions. If you would like the details please send me a private email.

Answer 6

It would help if you mentioned a product category, but here's some general ideas.

Start with Social Networks: Yahoo 360, Yahoo Answers, MySpace, Facebook Pages, YouTube, Twitter, etc.. Get your name in front of people by joining appropriate groups, contributing, answering questions, etc.  

Find forums where your customers hang out, contribute answers, of course including a link to your website in your signature line.

PPC on Yahoo and Google can be done quite inexpensively if you're careful with your keywords, and set daily budgets.

Write white papers on solutions your company offers.  You can find great information on doing this from Perry Marshall on his website at http://www.perrymarshall.com sign up for his white paper marketing series.

With the exception of the PPC above, all of those other items are FREE.  That should get you a good start.

Answer 7

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.

Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on

Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query

"sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not

abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave

out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4

million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net"

is ranked. It's ranked No. 1!

Again, Nazos.net's high web presence was achieved by

proper web design and placement of relevant metatags

according to Google's publication guidelines.

Good luck!
