Marketing and the Brick Wall - Internet Marketing Australia

Have you ever tried to market a website and all the time face a brick wall?
I have had many websites , some good, and some bad but however good the website seemed, I always came to a dead end with website promotion. In the early days I just gave up and moved onto the next challenge.

This was my first mistake, my second was to keep throwing money at, "to good to be true" email campaigns and pay per click advertising. There are many people out in the internet world ready and willing to take your money.

I once bought a website business off EBay for over $1400 and was promised all the help I wanted with marketing. Of course it was just a waste of time. I eventually got my money back and then decided to do it all myself. I knew very little about HTML so I opted for a visual site design program which I free trailed with coffee cup. I had great fun with this software and still do.

I created my own website exactly how I wanted it the layout, graphics and text all my own. It may have not been the best looking site but it was my first attempt.

Now to the biggest problem, how to promote the website that I had just created.
I scoured the internet and took my time; all the forums and experts agreed, Links and good content were the essentials needed.

I already had the content because the site I had just built was about my work as a car mechanic and it was a topic I knew plenty about. The website had good topical and niche content so I was heading in the right direction, all I needed now was traffic.
The only problem with links is to make sure that they are good quality links, be careful, do not just go and buy hundred's of links from just anybody.

Search the internet you will find many good quality link exchange companies such as Link Market who have been running successfully for many years. It can be a little tedious at first to keep uploading links onto your website's link page but the effort it well worth it in the long run.

As time goes by you will see great results, your traffic will increase as will your page rank but don't just stop there.

You should try to do some basic optimization to your website. The most important task of search engine optimization , and by far the trickiest and the hardest to accomplish one, is finding the right keywords.

Look at your competitors keywords by visiting there website from here click view then on the drop down menu click source. From here you can view the Meta keywords.

Do not just copy them try some different unique variations you may want to try some keyword generation software.

Next your title, try to include your main keyword within the title and try to keep the character length to about 60.

This is very basic seo but you have to start somewhere always remember never give up trying and good luck.
