Default Re: Promote my business

Hi Johnny

As they say the information you need is found in the Internet and if you spend enough time searching, surfing, and poking you will find the information you need eventually.

Having a website presence is important for most businesses in todays search for more customers and you need to make sure that you dont commit to long contracts and other promises to get you site in the top 10 ranking etc.

Promoting your website

Make sure you know what your customer profile is-so you can target it better
Look at your business brand image and stay consistent to that where possible
Research search engine optimisation and how it works
Research your keywords that your customers use to find similar services as you.
Then spend hours promoting your site through directories and engines.

Fact 1: Unless they work for Google they cannot guarantee any ranking results. Even Google employees can't i believe

Fact 2: Be careful of link farms as they will hurt your ranking more than help

Fact 3: Make sure you website has content that your customers want to see.

I am not a web designer, but i have spent a very long time using the Internet to find information during my time in Business Intelligence and Investigations across Australia. I now provide my knowledge of the Internet Vault to other businesses.

Understand that a flashy designed website does not guarantee more customers will find it. In fact my experience has shown that it often makes it harder for your site to be found by new customers.

Hope this helps you
