Business Web Site Promotion Tips

AVOID these mistakes and your business web site will stay one step ahead of your competitors:

1. Use free business web site hosting
   • don't be fooled into thinking the services offered by free business web hosting companies will even come close to meeting your needs for a professional web services.
   • sites that use free hosting are slow to load and often require you to place their banners on your website.
   • if you're not willing to spend a few dollars a month on web site hosting then how serious can you be about your business? Many potential customers will be turned off by your business website by the "cheapness" that comes with using free web site hosting.
2. Pick a poor domain name
   • don't pick a business domain name that is difficult to remember or cannot easily be passed onto another person verbally.
   • don't pick a business web site address with infrequently used domain extensions like .biz or .tv unless you're desperate and want your business web site to look second rate. Most people will first try typing in .com when they're searching for a business web site address, so when possible, it's safest to purchase a .com or a country specific domain name like .ca (Canada), .jp (Japan), etc.
3. Fail to ask for visitor feedback
• always make sure you provide a way for your business web site visitors to contact you and send you feedback through your site. Failing to do so will directly result in lost business.
4. Waste time on unproductive activities
   • assess your web business plan, set web marketing goals, and only pursue those marketing activities that help you reach your goals. Hire professionals to help you promote your website online so you can be freed up to work in your area of expertise.

5. Inappropriate advertising
   • do not associate yourself or your business website with questionable, unethical or illegal marketing or promotional activities such as Spamming. There is no better way to run your business into the ground than by sending unsolicited email
   • do not list your website on FFA "Free For All" pages. Reserve your business web site promotion efforts for listing your site in places your potential customers will actually see it
