What? Psychology?—YES, PSYCHOLOGY! Who cares how flashy or pretty it is. When they create "instant" sites, people are so excited to "see their name in lights" they lose all rational thought and don't even consider purpose or copy content. (Remember, years ago—I was drooling over my new web page too!)

Three, these same customers who thought they were getting such a great deal either abandon their website (that's what I did) because "the internet won't work for my business" (lack of proper marketing) or get smart and seek advice from an expert or coach (I found a coach later, wish I'd have done it sooner!).

Have you done this too? Do you have a site already, but don't know what else to do with it??

Save yourself NOW! :) Find an web development coach so you can get back to business!

5. Ask owner of web site if they would want to trade advertising. If you don't get as much traffic as they do, you could throw in some extra incentives.

6. Propose a cross p.romotion deal with web site. You both could promote each others products or services together in one package deal. This means a mention and link back to your web site.

7. Give web site a testimonial for their product or service. Include a little text link for your web site with testimonial. You n.ever know; it could end up on their ad copy.

8. Post your advertisement on their free classified ad section on their web site. You want to be sure you have an attractive headline so they will read your ad.

9. Post your text link on their f.ree-for-all links page. You want to go back and post your link regularly so it stays towards top.

10. Sign their guest books. You could leave a short compliment about their web site on their guest book. Just include your signature file and link at end of your message.

If your site is not in Top 20 positions in search engines, then your goal should be to get your site's link on those sites that are there. Using these indirect methods mentioned in this article should help you to accomplish just exactly that.
