If you have a website, then promoting your website is actually extremely critical, actually if you don’t know what you are doing very well then you can cause damage to your site. Just because you want to spread the word about your masterpiece of a website, that does not mean that you should immediately start doing everything under the sun to get your website promoted. Read on to find out 5 of the most damaging website promotion tricks that almost everyone makes….

Spam Free Zone - If you just start sending out unsolicited emails to people, this is not acceptable not for any reason, and you can actually be reported and “sand-boxed” for this. It will also cause you to be blacklisted or barred from large ISP’s, which will utterly cripple any and all of your traffic. Everyone hates spam just as much as you and it’s doing nothing but destroying your reputation.

Guaranteed Services - Many people don’t have time to promote their website properly and so may be tempted to turn to the easy route of spending $20 to get their site submitted. The problem is however that there aren’t 100 good search engines out there in the first place, using one of these automated systems can also cause your site a lot of harm. The reason search engines can track this, is because most submission services use the same devices and websites to submit their client’s projects in to. If you really don’t have time then there are some legitimate submission companies out there, just shop around and make sure you get them to tell you what they have done.

Search engine submission- Although there are lots of search engines on the internet very few of them are used regularly. Only around 30 of the search engines on the internet are actually worth you submitting your site to, and you should also try seeking out specialized directories which are suited to your site. If you are writing about computers then find directories which are popular with computer users.

Yahoo submission - Submitting your site to Yahoo is very important but it’s also very difficult, this is because all submissions are reviewed by humans and not machines. Make sure that the people see your site is a valuable resource for their visitors, and don’t rush your application.

Open for business - You should never submit your site until it is open and working properly. Check that the site is free from spelling errors and works properly before submission. This ensures that you can have continuous traffic, as a lot of website surfers will not return to a website if it has a “under construction” or “currently editing” statement in place.
