So, you want to start with this "SEO" stuff - getting my site noticed on the internet... BUT - you know nothing about it, you're not a web guru and you certainly don't have the money to hire a big firm for thousands of dollars. How do you get started, then? How can you make a difference with your new or small business? Try these on for starters: Search Engines Make sure your and/or your web developer are up to date on the latest techniques to access search engines and directories. This means your web site can be easily found from anywhere on the Internet. Make sure that your site is listed with the most popular search engines and directories. These include sites like Google, Yahoo!, AltaVista, InfoSeek and many others. STRATEGY: Visit the search engines and look for the link and directions on 'how to add your URL'. It's free and it's easy. Also make sure to list in DMOZ.org - the directory that most other search engines get their info from. Adding Value To Your Web Site Repeat visits and referrals are important to the success of your presence. Find the items and information that will bring your clients back to your web site and your products. STRATEGY: Offer regular promotions, updated news&content; and offer incentives (frequent customers get discounts or free gifts) Detailed Statistic Analysis Your Website should have a comprehensive, real-time statistics package available. By tracking the movement through your site, you can determine which of your products or services stimulates the most interest. Statistical user information such as city, country, browser type and operating system can help us determine target market areas and users to help increase traffic and sales. You can also see where your visitors are coming from - whether it's a search engine, an ad or an online directory - great for targeting your efforts. STRATEGY: If you don't know how to access your stats, ask your hosting company. If your hosting company doesn't provide them, get a new hosting company! Directory Advertising In the online world of information, many web sites are strictly functioning as web "directories". These directories provide information to the public about various industries, and provide links to those sites that do business in that industry. Having your site listed on these directories will not only help to increase traffic to your site, but will increase the "popularity" of your site by having it linked on yet another page. Costa Pacific can find and request links to sites that complement your business. STRATEGY: Do a search on the search engines for your industry, as though you're looking for your own type of business, you'll be surprised how many directories come up that you can get your business listed on! Many of these directories are free, or are very low cost, for just a few dollars a month. Cross Link Marketing Cross-linking is a standard practice in the Internet world and is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to drive traffic to your website. By providing a link to someone else's website, they in return provide a link back to yours, so every time you link your website to another, you add one more avenue of exposure. This can be accomplished in several different ways. Any website that you provide a link to, or advertise on your website, should promote you as well. STRATEGY: Approach all of the people that you currently work with. Ask them if they would add a link from their website to yours, and that you'll do the same for them. Explain that you are paying to advertise your website wherever possible and that the more traffic you drive to your site, the more traffic they will receive. Also, contact sites who's services or products you really would LIKE to show on your site along side your own, and ask about reciprocal linking. ...read more

So you've paid a hefty amount for a great logo and a cutting edge website. You've spent hours on SEO, link submissions and blog entries. Finished, right? Not quite. If you'd done this ten or even five years ago, that might have been enough. Now, it's time to think of traditional marketing. This includes mailings, flyers, print ads and face-to-face time. Now, if you have a very exclusive, niche market - where you are selling something truly unique, then your online efforts may be enough. However, if your business is more common (service industry, products, etc.) then the competition is very stiff. Two examples of great marketing efforts are outlined below: Case 1: We created a website for a regional portal that included a business directory, local information, news and advertisements. It sounds like it would be enough since it was concentrated on one local region; but with many sites out there providing similar services (like citysearch and yelp), my client decided to take a few computers to the local mall and show people directly and let them browse the site. It was a hit, and he signed up a slew of people that day and got off to a good start. Case 2: We created a service industry website that appealed to the general public. Because the subject of the site was not very unique, we started a traditional marketing campaign regionally, then expanded. We sent out hundreds of white postcards with nothing on them but a very small-print website address. Curiosity got the best of most people and got a large number of visits to the website and our first customers. A good rule of thumb is if you do traditional print advertising is if you get a 2% return you're doing well. The above examples returned over 15%. Web surfers are getting smarter, and they know the difference between paid search engine results and run of the mill ideas. When you include print or television advertising, you're now standing apart. Don't discount those weekly mailers and car flyers - it just might give you the edge! ...read more
