So you have paid a lot of money for the web design and now have a professional looking website. Despite the fact that the site has been “live” on the net for a while you are not receiving a lot of vistors to the site. So what can one do? It is now the time to start promoting the website. Oh no, you may be thinking. “Not another cost, I have paid for the domain name, I have paid the web designer to build the site and I have paid for web hosting. I do not have a lot of money left over to promote the site as well.

I here this on a regular basis. I offer a link building service in the UK and I have a lot of enquiries from people who had just presumed that their site would be able to achieve high rankings within Google purely by the skill and knowledge of the web designer. It is quite rare for web promotion to be a part of the service unless it has been previously agreed.

So for those of you who are seeking a higher search engine ranking position here are four website promotion techniques. They have worked for many websites including a friends fostering website.

1. Write a list of the keywords or phrases that you want to rank well for and then make sure that they appear within the text of the homepage plus the relevant sub pages.

2. Try to obtain one-way backward links via a link building campaign.

3. Write quality articles and submit them to the popular article marketing directories. This is of benefit for a number of reasons; it helps to spread the message of the service/products that you provide; it enhances your reputation within the market plave and it also enables you to gain backward links

4. Add unique content to your website on a regular basis.

As well as being a web promotion specialist I also offer an article submission service.
