What is the best way of marketing a web site?

[soccermommyof3]

If you want some free and inexpensive marketing, here is a brief list with examples:

1.
do a free link/banner exchange; this site is offering that free service:

2.
find other sites that will help you generate more traffic for free or at inexpensive ad rates; this site is good for that:

3.
join a social network where business networking is allowed; be very careful to read the rules because they don't all allow it; here is one that does, and it has strict no spam rules:

4.
consult with a marketing specialist to come up with a sound marketing plan before you implement anything; this company is offering a free initial consultation by email:

5.
start a free blog; there are many good ones, but some of the more popular will give you more exposure a bit faster; here is an example of one on Google's Blogger site:

If you do the blog, keep in mind that this is basically a free online newsletter. Use it to be a benefit and a blessing to your readers. They'll love you and keep coming back for more and sending their friends to it, as well.

You'll basically have produced your own online newsletter with your own ads in it for free. You don't necessarily have to write much, just do some good reading and stay connected with some folks who you know write well, you'll be able to link to most content for free and then just share your comments and their link.

6.
Continue to ask good questions and answer good questions on Yahoo! Answers. Being a help and a blessing to other people just sets you up to get blessed back by someone else.

Hope things go very well for your venture, it sounds like a good one.
