How to promote your own website

Wed, 5 Mar 2008 20:27:25 -0800

The purpose of this article is to answer three questions about various web-based promotion tools.

What are web-based promotion tools?
Why should I care?
How do I use them?

This is not intended as a "how to" guide, though I will provide links to additional information for the more technically inclined. Believe it or not, 90% of web-based promotion is really about making connections -- the technology is secondary. Mind you, these are electronic connections, but they still make a significant impact on how people can find and learn about you n the Internet.

For this article, I’m going to assume that you already have at least one web-page. This article focuses on what to do after that first page exists, such that your page or site becomes more visible to the world.

Topics to be covered include:

Search Engine Optimization
