How to promote a website

During our years of ongoing work and business development with the internet we have discovered numerous ways of promoting a website. To make this blog post short I will write only about three ways to promote your website: one, paying Google; the other, using social media; and, the last one, to add the website to all offline marketing materials.

1. Pay Google – use Adwords.com

Adwords.com is actually the most effective technique of promoting a website especially when you sell a service or product directly. This is good for businesses who sell online, but very effective for brick and mortar businesses as well.  The reason it’s effective is because this is the way to pay your way up on Google so people find you on the first page when they are looking for a specific keyword.

2. Use Social Media – using Knowem.com

Check your username with knowem.com and either have them create your social media accounts or do it yourself. Once you do that , create a blog section for your website and update your blog daily. Submit your blog updates to all social media accounts automatically using services like Ping.fm and Onlywire.com

3. Add it to all Off-line Marketing materials

You must add your website to all the print-outs, banners, business cards and all the other off-line marketing materials.

We know there are many ways to promote your website. However, our top 3 ways to promote a websites are these which we consider to be the most effective and of coarse they are the ones we believe will bring you a high return on investment.

Before starting a website at all you need to consider 3 things, your domain name, hosting your website, and the website itself.

1. Your domain name.

When you chose your domain, choose your name depending on what is the main product or service for your business, for example if you’re selling online social media services your best name is www.onlinesocialmediaservices.com

2. Hosting your website.

Choose the host that suits you best. We recommend our clients to use Webhostingpad.com because it has unlimited pretty much anything and you can get it for as low as 1.99 a month.

3. Building the website.

We use wordpress since it’s a top CMS platform easy to use and customization. If you don’t know about WordPress you can find the best  WordPress Tutorials here.
