Are there any websites that i can ADVERTISE my small business for free online?

  • i just started a small business and want to advertise my business online for free and have it actually SHOW UP on a search engine like GOOGLE. are there any WEBSITES you'd ...show more

  • Answer:

    Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com, Cheapcycle (this is available through the main Yahoo page then clicking groups)whatever local area sites you have for ex your local paper or radio station may have a site you can put an ad on for free like http:www.accessnorthga.com, As far as showing up on Google you will probably need to create at least a site - free or paid- and list it wioth the search engines. One trick is to send a press release (announcement) about your business to all appropriate local papers, radio and TV stations, and local news websites. Tell them whatever is new and unique about what you are doing. Send pictures if you have some and keep sending something new and interesting once every few months. Write letters to the editor of the papers and sites too. The reason for that besided free local publicity is that Google et al are much much more likely to index the papers and radio stations web sites than an ad site. For the same reason join local message bds and message bds that are relevant to what you sell and really take part don't just do drive by postings. For ex the message bd I admin gets googled every night by at least 3 or 4 spiders often many more, also gets indexed by other search engines. They hit random posts even old ones so the more you participate (and have your product or business link in your signature) the more you will get noticed by them. If you just do drive by postings on most message bds you will soon be a former member so join only where you are willing to be a realmember of the community.

craigslist.com is a free and popular site. As far as showing up in google you will need your business will need a website. I am ussuming that you are offering a local service, if so I suggest that you advertise though craigslist, yellow pages, newspaper, etc. before creating a website.

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages. Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website, in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable. You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo. Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them. A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots. Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material. Placement of Metatags: A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name. The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services. And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory. Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query "sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4 million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net" is ranked. It's ranked No. 1! Again, Nazos.net's high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Google's publication guidelines. Good luck!
