3. Learning how to do some marketing at this point.
a. Posting in classifieds
b. Posting to FFA Pages
c. Posting to newsgroups
d. Exchanging links
e. List servers - what are they?
f. Posting to search engines
g. How often do I list to search engines?
h. How can I check to see how the successful marketers are
getting listed high in the search engines?

I have listed hundreds of good places to list your product in free classifieds or paid classifieds - don't put too much faith in this - do a few here and there - no one really reads them anymore - they are only interested in entering their own ad. there are over 100,000 places to draw business from. GO HERE

Just get you a system set up - everyday do the
same procedure - list in as many classifieds as you can - in as many e-zines as you can. Getting your name out there is the secret.

FFA pages - Same here - don't waste too much time on these - again, no one reads them - they only want to put their own ads there, but there are some good ones, so it is not totally a waste.there are literaly thousands of these pages - make sure you have a throw away e-mail before you post even one of these.

FFA Pages are not my favorite places - but it is necessary because the search engines judge you as to the links pointing to your pages so the more links you can get the better you will show in the search engines. Not just any link - but quality links.

Stay clear of LinksToYou.com. The search engines will penalize you for these.

Newsgroups - This is one area I will refer you to an expert in this field. My knowledge in this area is just beginning. So to find out how to post to the newsgroups to best bring you more business, just go HERE.

Exchanging LInks - As you search the web - when you find someone with the same object and interest as you - write and ask them if they will link to you - The best approach to this is to link them to your pages and then write and tell them you feel they have something to offer your viewers and that you have linked to them - and would they return the link to you. Most of the time they will do this because it is helpful to have links pointing to their site.

LIST SERVERS
I am in the process of updating this section.

For awhile, until you get established, you can manage your mail list in your own e-mail.

Posting to search engines. - You will find all over the web how important your listing in the search engines are to your success.

My advice to you on this is to list with the search engines every month until you are listed, run your pages through the Meta Tag Builder and place these meta tags into your HTML and go on to more productive work on your product.

GO TO META TAG BUILDER - DOWNLOAD

Search engine spiders like to see links to themselves. It will give you higher rankings in the search engine. Just copy and paste this list to your site on some page.

Search Engines, Alphabetic Order - Please realize that some come and some go - Some of these links will not work.

How do the big guys get listed? - Some pay big bucks to get their pages listed. Some have software that lists them automatically.

Here is what you can do - when you find a page that is high in the rankings - from the tool bar, click on View - then click source - you can see exactly what is being done to help them along the way -Don't copy their HTML- but get ideas of how to add the right meta tags to your files.


Another little tip I found out from a former employee of one of the search engines. Instead of listing every page, just list every page on your site on one page and the spiders from the search engines will check out every link. I tried it and was on the computer when the spider clicked onto this page and my Human Click shows when someone is in the site. The Spider just went down the list and clicked on every page.

See how to do it here:

Just submit that page instead of listing every page by itself.
