A, B, Cs of Web Site Promotion

If you might like more traffic to your website, it takes more than just launching a website, "and they will come"...

It actually takes a little bit of work...I want to share some of the ways you can drive more traffic to your site. Some may seem obvious and easy, while others are less obvious and may take a moment of your time. But, all will benefit you in the promotion of your website.

a). Make sure that your office internet coordinator has added your domain name to the online WRE agent roster;

b). Include your domain name (and email) on your business cards, brochures, flyers and any other promotional materials that you might produce;

c). Ensure you have incorporated these same items into your email signature and any email-driven newsletters that you might send out;

d). Do you advertise in Homes and Land, the local newspaper, or other types of printed medium...then be sure and include your website domain name here as well;

e). Whenever there is a newsworthy event, submit it to the local newspapers for inclusion. Often it will get printed...especially if it is community-worthy. Don't forget to include your domain name!

f). Write articles for online newsletters and the like. Show yourself as an authority. Be sure and include your domain name. You can submit to various online entities such as ezinearticles.com and isnare.com;

The ways to promote your site are limited only by your imagination...just remember, by driving folks to your site will give them most of the information they need. All listings...schools...communities...area links...even what nearby homes have sold for and differing types of featured listings that you might have on your site. And a way to contact you!

And remember...include that domain name on everything!
