Let's Talk Business

Try freewebs.com… I’m not sure if it will come up on google however. But it is a free site.

craigslist.com is a free and popular site.
As far as showing up in google you will need your business will need a website. I am ussuming that you are offering a local service, if so I suggest that you advertise though craigslist, yellow pages, newspaper, etc. before creating a website.

Craigslist, Cheapcycle (this is available through the main Yahoo page then clicking groups)whatever local area sites you have for ex your local paper or radio station may have a site you can put an ad on for free like http:www.accessnorthga.com,

As far as showing up on Google you will probably need to create at least a site – free or paid- and list it wioth the search engines.

One trick is to send a press release (announcement) about your business to all appropriate local papers, radio and TV stations, and local news websites. Tell them whatever is new and unique about what you are doing. Send pictures if you have some and keep sending something new and interesting once every few months. Write letters to the editor of the papers and sites too. The reason for that besided free local publicity is that Google et al are much much more likely to index the papers and radio stations web sites than an ad site. For the same reason join local message bds and message bds that are relevant to what you sell and really take part don’t just do drive by postings. For ex the message bd I admin gets googled every night by at least 3 or 4 spiders often many more, also gets indexed by other search engines. They hit random posts even old ones so the more you participate (and have your product or business link in your signature) the more you will get noticed by them. If you just do drive by postings on most message bds you will soon be a former member so join only where you are willing to be a realmember of the community.

If you are serious about your business then join someone like as they will walk you through, with easy to follow videos, how to get yourself seen by those that matter. All for FREE too.

Go to Famous Pages

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.

Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.

You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.

Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, “Who’s my end user – is he on dialup or
DSL?” And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.

A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.

Placement of Metatags:

A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the “Title” metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The “Title” should describe in generic
terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the “Title” is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

The second metatag is the “Description” which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one’s goods and services.

And the very last category – “Keywords” are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as “spamdexed entries” which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
“Spamdexing” when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.

Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Begin with the very “generic” search query
“sandwiches downtown los angeles,” taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to “LA” and of course, leave
out the parentheses (“). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out where “Nazos.net”
is ranked. It’s ranked No. 1!
Again, Nazos.net’s high web presence was achieved by
proper web design and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google’s publication guidelines.

Good luck!
