What are the cheapest and most effective ways to advertise my website?

I have a website that displays my tarot services. Because I am a newly single mother of 3 I cannot spend a lot of money and time to advertise. So, are there places on the internet or ways to advertise my new business for free without spamming?

There are many completely FREE and simple ways you can drive traffic to your business page. You need to get your URL(site address everywhere...Like Zorro leaving his ''Z'' everywhere)

Start by placing catchy Classified Ads on Sites like CraigsList, Kijiji and others that you can find by searching on Google. Stick to the first 1-2 pages on Google to start.

Then start a Blog on Google's (Blogger). Easy to setup and post to. Always include your URL at the end of your Blog entries. Post to other people's Blogs and always leave your URL at the bottom of each entry.

Engage in Forum marketing in Groups like Yahoo Groups and on other Business related sites like HomeBasedBusiness.com, Startup.Biz. Again search on Google for these types of forums and you'll have a nice list to sign up to and post thoughtful entries.

Write keyword rich articles and submit to 5-10 popular Article Directories like ezinearticles,article dashboard, etc...

Create accounts at several Social Bookmarking Sites like Digg, Technorati, Delicious and bookmark your articles once they have been accepted as well as your main webpage and Blogpage URL.

Make a profile on MySpace, FaceBook, and network with other business minded people in the Business Groups. You need to target who to contact because people are fed up of Spam and strangers adding them so don't go overboard. Post Bulletins, add posts to Forums, add selected friends and send personalized messages so they know you are not some FriendBot software hehe

From time to time when you have something very newsworthy like a new product release or a new partner joining your business etc...you can write a Press Release and submit to directories like PRFree, 24-7 Press release, free press releases etc...

Use a site traffic analysis tool like Google Analytics or StatCounter to see what drives most traffic and stick to what works. You need to maximize your productivity and have better conversion rates with time. Stick to what works for you. I have seen solid results by employing all of the above strategies for my business page and have had to do so consistently for months so don't expect huge results overnight. The effort must be consistent and multi-faceted. Be patient and have focus. There are more strategies than the ones I have listed. Those are just the main free ones and the tip of the iceberg in Internet Marketing. later on you can engage in Video Blogging, Video marketing, Pay Per Click Advertising and many more. Web 2.0 has become 3.0 and soon 4.0!!!

The main thing is that once you get increased traffic to your page you need to be able to contact those targeted leads. Make sure you have an Opt-In Form on your main page where people can voluntarily leave their contact info (name, email). Set up an autoresponder with , Aweber, or iContact etcâ€¦You can write a handful of emails and start an automated email campaign so your potential customers will be in the loop as to what you are doing. Maybe later on they will be interested in purchasing whatever product/service you are marketing or becoming your business partner if you are looking for partners. Also make sure your contact info is clearly visible so your visitors can always contact you.

Don't ignore offline marketing as well like business cards, flyers, catch cards, word of mouth to all your family, friends, and their referrals. There is no better promo than that.

If you brand YOU INC. and show people you have valuable information to share with them you will have succeeded in earning trust and establishing yourself as a knowledgeable leader. That is the goal here: Attraction marketing. Let me know how your online assault works out and keep in touch! Best,

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.

Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.

You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.

Placement of Metatags:

A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic
terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

The second metatag is the "Description" which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one's goods and services.

And the very last category - "Keywords" are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google's spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.

Good luck!

Get to your local library to borrow or order "Marketing without Money" by Nicholas E Bade. You will find over a hundred free and low cost advertising ideas. Experiment with the ideas and tweek them to suit your business and your target market. The best form of advertising is word of mouth. Get business cards and pass them out to family, friends, neighbors, strangers, etc. Consider getting a postcard printed by VistaPrint.Com and do small mailings and reinvesting profits into your advertising. It's great to have a website but not helpful if you cannot be found. Become an expert in your field. Success will be in the cards!!!

Google Adwords will let you choose your monthly budget. Even if it's just $5 a month ... you're not paying anything unless someone clicks on your site.

Your site will show up in the side-bar, or top area of their search results.

Some of the ways you can advertise your website and tarot services are:
1. Promotions on related blogs
2. Submitting to directories
3. Free classifieds
4. Forums
