Publicising
Your Website
|
Try the following:
- Put
your World Wide Web address ( and your e-mail address)
on all your correspondence.
- Use
a signature file for your e-mail program and make sure
that it includes your World Wide Web address.
- If
you advertise by conventional methods, put your World
Wide Web address on that.
- Make
sure each page has a descriptive title in the header.
Put the <title> tag right after the <HTML>
tag. Beware! Netscape Composer and Mircorsoft Front
Page will move the title tag to a lower, less effective
positon.
- Make
sure each page has the following META tags:
- <META NAME="description" CONTENT="$05.00/page!!
Superior, low cost, affordable web page construction
services and web site development. Low cost Java Effects
and DHTML. Free Web Space if suitable"> This is
the description of one
of our pages, make the description fit your own
page.
- <META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="low cost,
web hosting arranged,affordable, web site development,
design, domain registrations, domain transfers,Java
effects,Java applets,Javascript,Site management,Web
page design service,Webpage,site construction, Setting
up a domain name, e-mail, free advice service, How
to do Java effects, animated graphics service, JayDax,search">
These are
the keywords to one
of our pages, but of course, they have to be relevant
to the page the keywords are on. Such as, if your page
content is concerning dogs, you would not put keywords
like - cat,fur,meow,cat food etc...rather you would use
dog,hair,bark,purina,dog food,bone, etc...
- <META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="Your
name goes here">
- <META NAME="COPYRIGHT" CONTENT="Your
company name goes here">
- <META NAME="rating" CONTENT="General
- or what ever your site is rated as">
- <META NAME="resource-type"
CONTENT="document">
- <META NAME="revisit-after"
CONTENT="10 days">
- <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL">
-
- <META NAME="ABSTACT" CONTENT="Low
Cost Web Page and Web Site Design Service">
- <META NAME="EXPIRES" CONTENT="01
Oct 1999 12:00:00 GMT">Update this as necessary.
- Make
sure that the first few lines of your page contain a
sentence that contains as many of your keywords as possible.
- Try
to put something on your web site which will capture
people's interest and keep them coming back again and
again. A free gift, a game,
some frequently updated information, one of the best,
'morally', is a virtual card or flower service.Yes,
JayDax has it too! :)
- Construct
a funny
or entertaining or sentimental
page with a link back to your home
page and get it picked up by Stumble Upon, Digg or other such site..
- Submit
your web site to search engines for inclusion in their
databases - some web sites will help you do this free
-
Submit
your web site to the major search engines at the very
minimum, but, don't expect to see a vast increase in
traffic to your web site for at least three weeks. Understand,
submitting your site is not enough. You need to know
the proper way to configure pages in order for search
engines to index them properly. To make matters worse,
different search engines need different configurations.
There is just NO way that you can configure a page to
guarantee it a top ten placing in ALL the search engines,
unless your webpages are the ONLY ones on the net, talking
about 'Eisenhower's toupee collection', or something
else totally obscure. Some promotion software will attempt
to do the hard work for you - for the most part, they're
a waste of money. The only one we've found of any use
is 'Web position' . We used Web Position and found it
very effective. By using it we learnt a lot and now
get even higher ratings by hand coding. We still use
the reports and updates on search engine changes produced
by Web Position.
-
Add
a button such as this one
-
When
you surf the web, sign the guest books of places you
visit and make sure to include your own URL.
-
Consider
advertising your site on the world wide web. This can
be very cost effective on a search engine.
-
Construct
a banner for your site, which is simple, yet eye-catching,
then
join a banner exchange program such as Link Exchange.
There is one at the top of this page.
