Most small companies prefer to use the traditional methods to marketing a small business. The traditional methods of marketing such as radio, television, and print publication are still common, but can be very expensive. Business owners neglect the fact of how important marketing online is. Marketing a small business online can not only prove to be cost effective, but also can bring in the best return on investments.
First of all let’s dispel the myth that just because your business is a local brick and mortar store, that a website is not needed. This is such a big mistake that small business owners fail to realize. A recent surveyed found that 75% of all users do their research online prior to purchasing a product or services. Additionally, search engines like Google.com has taken over the local market also. Google.com is literally sucking up the Yellow Pages listings and adding them into their local search engine results. Therefore, Google is providing free marketing to a small business locally.
It is first important that the business has a clear idea of what market the small business wants to target. What a business needs to do is first gather several keyword phrases they want to achieve top rankings for. For instance, if your business is in accounting industry then you should target keywords like:
Accountants
CPA
Tax Returns
Then right after the keywords just put “in Your city, State”. Sprinkling these keyword phrases throughout your website such as in the title, meta description, and the body of the website. This can dramatically improve your local search engine results. This simple additional or change can bring large amounts of visitors to your website. What is great is that you are giving exactly what the user is searching for.
You see marketing a small business online should be a top priority for any local business. Do not expect to receive large amount of leads and foot traffic to your store by just utilizing the traditional methods. The days of having a big sign of your local business is just not enough.

Reciprocal links are where you put a link to their website on yours, and they put a link to yours on their website. It’s a great way of getting more traffic and better search engine rankings. I have been looking for more to add my site to, but I’m only finding a few valid ones, the rest I have gone to are junk.
So far I have:http://www.link-city.com/http://www.linkexchanged.com/http://www.thisusa.com (usa only)http://www.links4trade.com/
and www.zyra.org.uk
Any help? I’d really like to promote my giftshop website so I can get some visitors!
I’m trying to find out if this is a viable resource for getting the word out for a new website, build some new backlinks, and ideally help out search engine rankings. Please advise.
I have a small business and I’m trying to generate more traffic to my website. The thing is, there is so much information online it’s hard to filter through it. If someone has had success with an online marketing site or company, shoot me a link. Or even internet marketing workshops or classes in the orange county, california area that you’ve attended. Thanks.
My website is: http://www.interestingarticlesweb.blogspot.com/
It’s #1 for “ways to gain traffic” on google right now, but is there any way to make it so I can have people search up my site using keywords and not phrases. I have meta tags, and I submitted my url to search engines.
The search engines look at various factors to rank the relevance of a web page. While they use these factors differently, here are the common factors they look at:
Age = both Google and Yahoo (to a lesser extent) do not give top ranking new sites immediately. There is this thing called “sandboxing” whereby new sites, especially those who are running a very aggressive linking strategy, find themselves not showing in the SEs for even up to 6 months. SEs seem to believe that there is a natural growth for websites, and any site that grows beyond their predefined pattern gets sandboxed.
Content = the more relevant your content to the search term, you can expect better rankings for that search term (considering other factors of course)
Keyword density = the main keywords of the page as well as special formatting used (if keywords are in bold, H1 or other formatting)
How it fares in the results = when a user clicks on the site in the search results, does the user stay (if so, then it must be relevant to the search) or does the user leave immediately (which means they haven’t found what they are looking for)
Site structure = where the content appears in your HTML code (the higher the better)
Backlinks = quality of backlinks, not quantity. Who is linking to you? Who you link to is also very important. If your site talks of website marketing and you are linking to mortgage financing, then that can negatively send a signal to SEs
