The present world of competition, in every field have seen rapid rise in the amount of marketing budgets the companies are setting aside for fulfilling their sales target. This is the common perception in the minds of people that marketing takes hell lots of money, perhaps, I, myself was thinking the same way unless I came to know of this fact that Marketing need not always be expensive. You can get great popularity and revenues by spending minimal on your marketing needs of the company and save lots of money. If you are reading this, you are a lucky reader to be reading it as I am going to show you different methods to make your site popular without ever spending any money on marketing, slowly and steadily as you make profits from the free marketing efforts you can think of spending some money on achieving bigger targets for your company.

  • Before you start with any type of marketing activities, make sure you are on the right track. Do proper analysis of costs that you will have to go through, check for hidden costs, if any and spend time thinking of logical and economical ways through which you can do marketing. You can make use of google analytics tool that is absolutely free of cost. Some of you who are using it already, might know how it is useful to keep track of visitors on the site, if you haven’t already, install it now.
  • Search engine optimization is one of the best methods to bring more traffic to your site by getting your site ranking up on the search engines. Billions of people use search engines on a daily basis, SEO helps you to bring your site on the top pages of these search engines. Bring visitors to your site by being on the first pages of famous search engines like google, yahoo, bing, etc.

There are some of the things that I would like to bring to your notice before you head out for search engine optimization of the site:

search engine optimization

  1. The more the number of websites linking to your site, the more traffic you can get on your site. Links are one of the most important ingredients for building traffic over the site.
  2. Keep your website code as clean and simple as possible, because if the search engine doesn’t understand the website code then there are hardly any chances it will detect your site’s keywords that will rank it on the op.
  • The simpler the website, the better. You don’t have to spend too much money on getting the perfect looks for the site. Even if your site doesn’t have animation effects (which are costly), having simple flash based stuff will help it look great. Even the search engines work better with the sites that are not very complex in their programming.
  • You might have a million dollar website, that is not important but you got to surely have a million dollar content. Put unique creative content on your site so that visitors like to come often and they shall refer it further, this can bring loads of traffic to your website.
  • Getting traffic on your site is of utter importance by being ranked on the number one pages of the top search engines.
  • Don’t get too much deep into getting your top ranking depending on just generic keywords, try to get good ranking by creating your own niche on blogging networks, through this there are more chances to make your potential buyers in to actual buyers.

website marketing

Its not difficult to gain popularity and do marketing for your business if you are in blogosphere, blogs are important to create a buzz for your company that will add to your marketing efforts of the company. It is simple to get in to the world of blogs, you got to create something that can create news for you company – blogging can only be done when there is something really worthwhile to speak about. Even if it were some product launch or company joint venture, it can definitely create news and be blogged about. Select a group of bloggers who can blog about your company in their blogging networks, having your own company blog helps to get customer’s feedback, and what product suggestions they might be having relating to the product.

Don’t fall in to the trap of marketing by spending too much money, marketing is not always about money, you can always achieve your sales target with minimum budget also.

You can also built an extremely sweet colleague/competitor viewing tool by adding all the top blogs in your niche to your feedreader – it gives you a quick access to what all the popular authorities in your niche is saying plus shows you where to comment intelligently to get your name known as well.

    If I had a business blog I would make sure that it was always updated with what was going on in the business. I would also try and get the customers involved, something along the lines of ExtremeJohn.

    Hi Chris,
    The post is really informative about promotions.
    At my point SEO is the important part of any blog or site.It can give free and more traffic then other paid promo of the blog.
    But SEO and time dedication is the main mantra for the free promotions.
    What do you think ?

    Hai Chris,
    Although SEO is the important thing that need to be considered, I think without good content in our blog, we’re nobody..Nobody will read the blog although it rank better on search engine..People will leave just like that when they found out there is nothing..
