Are you in the top 10,000 websites? Yes ,then you must be the ones without the limitless marketing budget, a online marketing department, or just spend countless hours seeking websites to place your links.
Internet marketing is now time consuming and expensive, gone are the days when search engines were eager to have your latest URL to expand their databases, giving your URL the same weighting as others. It is no wonder that frustrated webmasters turn to link farms to try to artificially boost their rankings.
Surfers have busy lifestyles and simply cannot afford the time to search countless bad links from old defunct sites and tend to visit only a very small core of sites which they know work and can be easily be found on their favourite menu. The question is how do you entice them to try your site?
There are many gurus on the internet giving you the chance of instant visitors to your site for their $50 dollar software package, or that top ten placements in search engines, if these were the answers then everyone would be in the top ten. So what is the answer to successful website promotion?
There is no single answer, but there are places on the internet that still allow you to gain that advertising foothold on which to build success. One of these sites can be found at www.tel24x7.com a free advertising portal where businesses can upload their Banner adverts and have them displayed on a multitude of sites. There are no link backs required, no banner exchange programs, no time limits, All the adverts are localised so if you run a pet shop in Essex, any advert shown in Australia is not going to be effective and more importantly of no interest to the surfer. The prime goal of the exercise was to gather visitors who could actually benefit from your goods or services.
But let us not forget the individuals that want to advertise, where do they fit in? Yes individual customers can also advertise for free with classified adverts with a photo of car, dog or whatever they are selling, again fully localised. Ok, the list of things for sale or wanted can be long and who searches for items beyond the third page? This is where the active advertiser can reposition their advert back to the top of the list.
The advantage to the surfers are that they are assured that the adverts are still current and the advertisers can regulate their advertisement response rates. Any adverts that are not renewed are automatically removed from the site to avoid out of date information being promoted.
The Tel24 company operates it`s services in the UK, US and Spain and will be launching soon a search engine based on the same principles, to bring quality information to the attention of the surfer about the more remote corners of the internet.
