promote that site on Facebook. You can create a page that other people can "like", and then link
them to your official site through there. It will bring you a good deal of traffic that you may not have
otherwise gotten.
Always check your site for broken links before doing an internet promotion campaign. How
humiliating would it be if you run a successful marketing campaign and then customers have the
worst experience ever on your website due to broken links? Make sure you check for grammar and
spelling errors as well.
Take a careful look at your competition. Making sure that you have a good knowledge of your
competitors is important. Visit their websites. Take a look at the keywords that they are using. Take
a look at your own keywords and compare them. Improve upon your keyword usage until you find
yourself featuring more prominently in search results.

where you're aiming. Know whether you want to sell 5 copies of your e-book a day, if you want to
make sure 80% of your customers visit and read a certain Web page or if you want to grow your

a-internet-marketing/ they are most
interested in, and much more.
Some social media sites will consider you a
spammer if you're promoting affiliate links
with them, but others around the web are
more receptive to it. As long as you're
writing quality content and are not
spamming links out there, sites like Squidoo and EzineArticles will accept your links. Just remember
to keep things at one link per article.
Sharing your knowledge of Website marketing with people does not hurt you in the slightest. In fact,
it will only boost your profile if you're willing to provide other newbies some tips and advice to help

provide some basics.

has proven to be highly effective. An eBook can be passed around all over the web adding to your
branding and marketing. It lets you use the work you've already done to create extra buzz and more
click backs.
Don't underestimate the power of word-of-mouth. Provide incentives for your customers to spread
the word and refer their friends to your site using a coupon or promo code. If, for example, you tell
clients that they will receive a discount, free gift, or valuable coupon for referring four friends to
your site, you can effectively transform one sale into five sales and so on.

products for many of your offerings. You should contact customers after their first purchase to show

communication as informative as possible.

marketing strategy to convert those newsletters into website content. Some visitors who would
never think of subscribing to a newsletter may nevertheless eagerly devour the same material on
your site. And since you are reusing pre-existing content, the effort involved is minimal!

more workable. Just because something didn't seem like a good idea six months or a year ago,
doesn't mean that it still won't work. Things are always changing, and you need to keep up with
them.
One way to leverage web marketing is to use blogging techniques on your site. If your company has
a blog, this provides a great way to share news or information with your visitors in a friendly and
approachable way. If you have a personal blog, consider cross-linking it with your site and
referencing your site in your blog posts if appropriate. Visitors to your blog may then visit your
company site as well.
It is imperative that you learn proper usage of HTML tags. HTML tags tell the search engine that
this content is important. It will display in the search engine under your website name to give
readers an idea of what your website is about. Search engines see this emphasized content and give
it more weight when judging the quality and relevance of your page. Therefore, put an emphasis on
any important keywords you are using.
Try adding a few small incentives to things that are purchased from your site. Remember that all
your customers that are buying from you are human and humans have basic needs. Think about
including or offering discounts and coupons to things like restaurants, stores, etc. Making these free
can really keep your customers interested in coming back.
Re-purpose your internet content to make even more revenue. If you feel your content is high
quality, look into syndicating your content to other websites and even look outside of the web. Your
local newspaper may be interested in publishing the content, along with consumer magazines, your
industry's trade publications and newsletters.
Take advantage of your relationship with other respected online companies and retailers by offering
free advertising space. This is an excellent option because it allows your business to benefit from the
