Article Marketing Research For Business Success

marketing strategy for promoting website?

Phase 1) Get it listed in the major search engines

http://www.google.com/addurl/

http://submit.search.yahoo.com/

Make sure meta-tags are optimised for when the search engine’s spider comes to pay the site a visit.

http://www.submitexpress.com

Phase 2) Gain a bit more exposure via link / banner exchanges / (relavent) webrings, etc

Phase 3) Dip into your pockets for some targetted adverts through GOOGLE ADWORDS

Or Yahoo’s equivalent:

Phase 4) Optional – open up a personal merchandising store with the site’s logo, etc on it

The most important thing of all, though is to get the design of the site right to start off with, give it a good name, design it so it feels "solid".
Here are some sites which meet this criteria:
