What is the best way to advertise my online store on the web?
Build inbound links to your website.


Most of the directories online charge a one time fee to review your site and add it to their index. Here are three of my favorites:

http://www.kahmer.com


http://www.joeant.com


The more inbound links to your site, the better you will rank


with Yahoo / Google / MSN.


Also work on your meta tags. Here is an


article on how they work: http://www.richkahmer.com/meta-tags.html

Good Luck!

The best way to get links back to you, and yes this does take some time, is to post to blogs and make yourself known as a knowledgeable person. Maybe you can find blogs about wedding ideas, flower arranging etc... be sure and use your knowledge to advise, do not just post "this is a nice blog please visit my site" because most bloggers can delete you and will if you don't contribute something. Not to mention will send you the worst of "vibes".





You can "pay for clicks" , works for some not others.. try Google first they don't hold your money. Yahoo for instance takes money out of your bank account without notice, and they always have some of your money they haven't spent, like the IRS does. Google also has a new free checkout program.





Hiring a pro can be expensive, but if you can afford it I'd check with the Better Business Burea before I hired anyone to see if they have complaints filed, better yet get a member. I can't advise whether or not you need one because I have not seen your site.





The most important and most forgotten thing about having a web site is to make them informative and interesting, people will buy from you if they see you have knowledge and a passion for what you do. I have had my web site almost 10 years and it sticks in top rankings because people visit it to learn and pass the link on.

Reply:Hi, what you need is relevant links. It may be either one way free links or reciprocal links. But the links must be relevant. Try to get as many oneway relevant links as possible.





Link building is an art, it cannot be done over night. It takes time, over a period of time only you can accumulate relevant links for the site. If you can continusly acquiring links over a period of time you can accumulate a good no. of links for yr site.





You can contact me if you need any assistance at sreeseshan@yahoo.com.





All the best

One of our companies specialities is search engine optimisation. The person who said build inbound links is right on the money - that is a major factor. However, having said that, it can take a while for the benefit of inbound links to be passed on- particularly by Google. They also like things to be a bit natural. If go crazy contacting people and get a 100 links in one week, you won't get full benefit as they like the process to look natural.





There are other things you can do as well. In my business, we offer a twelve month managed search engine marketing and optimisation campaign, whereby we basically act as your agent for twelve months and in conjunction with you market your site on the web. This includes organic search engine optimisation, useabilty and effectiveness assessment of your site, copywriting, and even graphics and whether your site is well designed. What is included will very from client to client. Do you already have a site? If so, I can prepare a free proposal based on your site, giving you some general ideas of what we can do and a quote. If you don't have a site yet, we can give you a quote on building it with effective marketing in mind as well as a 12 month marketing programme.





Please feel free to email me on cpschmidt29@yahoo.com.au for further info.
