10 Ways Not to Promote Your Web Site

Iron666 · 07-02-2009, 02:47 AM

Once you've built your masterpiece, you have to spread the word. Submitting your Web site to search engines, directories and related sites is critical to success. The real Web-savvy companies have whole teams of geeks who spend their days figuring out how to get better rankings in search engines.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of fools' gold, bad advice and even downright scams in the Web site promotion field. If you go about promoting your site the wrong way, you can actually hurt traffic instead of helping to build it. Here are 10 things you should definitely not do, no matter how tempting some spam message makes it sound:
1 - Spam Not!
2 - Don't shell out big for submission services.
3 - Don't waste time on the flotsam and jetsam of the Web.
4 - Don't rush through your Yahoo submission.
5 - Never submit your site until it's open for business.
6 - Don't forget to integrate your URL into your business.
7 - Don't mess with black magic.
8 - Don't put anything in your Web site directory that you don't want the public to see.
9 - Don't neglect to measure your traffic.
10 - When you're finished, don't stop!

Thank for sharing the tips. Links should appear on the relevant site only. Videos and photographs also make the site interesting. Always introduce some quiz or promotional offer to involve the audience with offered product or service.

You have nailed it down superbly. However these are some of common black hat seo techniques that we should not practice at any cost otherwise; it might have some serious repercussion.

Good points but as you may know, nowadays submission of the sites might not even be needed because search portals can automatically find and index the sites by following web links pointing at them.
