Promoting your Knife Website
Have a new site nearing completion and I am already getting solicitation calls.
You know, who do I trust?

Really need this site to get max hits and max value for the hits as well!

Suggestions on how this should happen?

Really need your help guys as I am so far into this the other half is getting pissed;)
 
Is the link http://community.webshots.com/user/roberthankins100 your website address or will it have a new domain address?

The reason I ask is if this link is it you woun't get the commercial hitd you need. No google type search will find you. If you have your own domain then that's good and you will turn up in searches.

There are services that will register you with all the top search engines and then some and help you create the behind the scenes stuff you need for a good search position.

I agree about registering your own domain and getting it hosted. Most 'free' type websites don't rank well. As for the automatic submission engines, most of them submit you to more spam lists than search engines. Submit your site to dmoz.org

That will get you on google, yahoo and anything else that matters. Don't submit until you are done. The search engine ranking tools don't like sites under contruction. I can't emphasize enough, the value of meta tags. Think them out carefully and read up on how to optimize them.

Good luck with your site - (and your better half). :)

Rob!
 
Yes it has it's own domain name and is registered
Definetly know about Meta tags as they are the key! to getting found :D
Need to research them for sure as I know how important they are. but am uneducated in how to best utilize them.
Any suggestions are appreciated and explored
Thanks
 
if you are depending on website traffic for sales,you may want to have another part-time job. a lot of traffic and hits do not always equal a monetary return. no web business out there can guruntee a return on the time and investment you put into your website. meta-tags are only a small part of the newer search engine functions(crawlers) that collect the website data for the search engines. also think that you are competing with a large number of knife makers who are already established on websites,trade shows,etc.
 
I would suggest contacting our own Daniel Koster and have him set you up with a website. He knows his stuff about those things. So far this year I've had over 300,000 views/hits on my site.:eek: I average 1,200 a day. Google Razorback Knives and I'm on the first page.
