small business owners meet the internet

Hello Small Business Owner

I’d like to introduce you to the power of ….

The Internet

Do you want to promote your brand?

Now isn’t that a silly question?

Of course you do! Why else would you be in business?

So – what are you doing to promote your brand?

Did you build a website?

That is great! You are done – right?

WRONG

Where is your website?

If you buy a telephone, does that mean it will ring?

I don’t think so!

So what can you do to help people find your website?

Start by telling them it is there!

How do you do that?

Add your URL to search engines

Google, Yahoo, MSN, About, Ask Jeeves, Dimoz, Altavista, Whatusers, Teoma, overture,LatinGuia, Looksmart, iwon, and many more….

Hey – I have heard that you don’t have to do that anymore. That the search engines will find you!

Yup – this is true. They will EVENTUALLY – but do you want to

wait?

YIKES! But I already don’t have enough time to do what I need to do

for my business!

I understand 100%! So how about a compromise?

Submit your website URL to the MAJOR search engines only!

Google – Yahoo - MSN

Ahhhh – much better. Now THAT I can handle!

Add to Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/

It is easy as 1 – 2 – 3

Add to Yahoo: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

Add to MSN: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx

Did you get that?

Just in case, here it is again:

Add to Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/

Add to Yahoo: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

Add to MSN: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx

That wasn’t so difficult was it? It will be well worth the time invested !

PHEW! I am done now right?

BUT….

You are on the right track

Is your website optimized for keywords?

Is your website optimized for search?

Are you tracking your website visitors?

Don’t worry!

You have just taken your first steps……….

Remember - Rome wasn’t built in a day…..

Take one step at a time……Stay tuned for more on Internet
