I just posted this to my blog, but also thought someone here might find it helpful. This obviously isn’t all inclusive (after 50 it was time to stop) and I didn’t include some methods I don’t really care for like FFA sites and safelists… so please feel free to add to it if you like:


1. Write and submit articles to the article directories.

2. Leave comments on other people’s blogs with a backlink to your site.

3. Answer people’s questions on www.answers.yahoo.com.

A lot of people actually adviced me this too. But I have never seen any report or post or testimonial if it works... For me its "dead" way to go.

Great Idea... :D

Just wondering.

10. Optimize each page of your website for a particular keyword or search phrase.

Nice tips, I'll have to try a few and see what happens :) THX

Create an opt in page with an autoresponder and a free bonus with it. Having a company replicated web site alone isnt enough. Plus people dont usually respond to the first offer. That is why this is so important.

Launch a marketing campaign targeting your market. It takes time to learn how to advertise correctly to the right market but it will make your advertising so much more effective once you know how to do this.

Then teach others how to do the same.

This is pretty "dry list." It tells you what to do, but not how to do it. But it brings awareness...

But it does not suit to all niches over internet because every online business has limit and requirement.

[AaronFinch]

Thanks this is great but i think you must have unique content on your website. Websites are visited on a regular basis by the search engine robots, which are looking for new and fresh content. The best example of this type of content can be found on blogs.

[mattdebate]
