How do I promote my web site?

If you are really interested in doing is "Internet promotion" we recommend you visit NetVisitors.com, our search engine submission information site. You may also wish to review the following steps to Internet promotion:

• Register the Web page location in selected Web indexes. We highly recommend the Yahoo and Google Web indexes.
• Send out notices to relevant Internet mailing lists whose subscribers may be interested in the your products and/or services.
• Post notices in relevant USENET newsgroups so that participants of such groups become aware of the customer's products and/or services.

NOTES

1. Please refrain from sending out mass emails to Internet users. Normally this is considered highly offensive by many in the Internet community, and such mass mailings may backfire so badly that you would wish you had not done it. Furthermore, due to recent legislation in some states, you could be fined several hundreds of dollars for each individual message and ISP's could sue for damages. Consider this advice as a strong warning!
2. Among the three possibilities listed above, linking with other Web sites should give you the most effective results. Mailing lists are useful, but be careful not to abuse them. This method potentially can backfire just as bad as sending out mass emails.
3. Posting notices to selected USENET newsgroups requires you to be selective and tasteful. It also has the potential of backfiring if not done carefully.
4. Using submission services is usually not very effective as most of these services use a shotgun approach. The listing they generate is generic, thereby excluding you from being listed at the top. To be really effective, your site should be listed in the top 20 results. The best way to do this is to study the indexing methods used by each of the major search engines.
