Search Engine Optimization and Pay Per Click Campaign Management

Some important things to consider when marketing your new web site are:

Search Engine Submission
The first step in drawing targeted traffic to your web site is by letting the search engines know that your site exists. Warning: never submit your site to the search engines using one of those 'automated' search engine submission tools you find on the web. Spamming the search engines with your web submission may end up black listing your domain. This process should be done by a professional to ensure compliance with each search engine' criteria.

Directory Submission
Internet directories are edited manually through human editors. Internet directories often have stringent guidelines and frequently require annual submission fees ranging from $15 to $300.
