Basic Steps to Follow to help market your business website.

Submit it to Google Local Business: another great free service from Google

This can help you can gain top search results in Google for your business products or services using the Local Business service from Google. You will need to register for a googlemail account then submit your website / business details to Google's local business centre.

Marketing your Website using Directories and Website Links

The next step is to get links to your website. This is one of the most important things that you can do to help your website with regard to internet marketing and search engine results. To do this you will need to list your website on as many websites and directories as possible. Directories operate in one of 3 ways: Paid Listing Directory, Free and Reciprocal Link Directories.

Paid Listing Directory: for a listing fee your website is listed, often these are higher quality directories as only serious website owners and business's will pay to be listed. These are usually the fastest way to get listed and get links to your website, as the paid listing directories are run as a business. There are niche/specialist and general directories.

Free Directories: it can take a long time to get your website listed. As the service is free, there may be little or no control of the quality of websites being listed.

Reciprocal Link Directories: these again can take time before your website is listed and your website will only be listed after you provide a link to them.

Website owners wishing to promote their new website in the search engines are often in a hurry to 'get results' so the listing service offered by Paid Listing Directories is the fastest way to get links to your website.

1. You should try and get as many links to your websites as possible (add your website to directories)
2. Try to get keyword links, these are links that use 'content relevant keywords' as the anchor text.

Good Luck

• Hiii.. If you go through the definition of advertising.." it is a PAID medium of introducing your products/ services to your target customers .." So dear friend if you have decided to ADVERTISE your business, then do not go for FREE Stuff.. they may fool you... :(
  
  I have come across a situation like this many a times where I was trapped. But what I gained was experience.. n tats more important.. isn't it..??
  
  Regarding your issue, I would suggest you to get a website built from a good website designing company. If big names seem too costly you could go for small firms which are also good and satisfy your requirements....

• You can also list business directories without getting website if cost is issue. Your business information will show up on the internet anyways. There are free directories such as http://www.consumervote.com and paid directories as such http://dir.yahoo.com. Some people also advertise on social networking sites but I think it does go far beyond your friends by using this method. Good luck

• The words "free" and "business" don't go well together. Your business is, hopefully going to make money. To make money you usually have to invest something. That is money and effort and time. If you are not prepared to invest all of these three then I would not bother to start.
