Promotions on the internet can range from simple links from other
business web sites to large and eye-catching banners on popular
web sites such as Yahoo, AOL and MSN.
There are several ways to promote your web site online. The most
important way is to list with Yahoo. Yahoo is an incredibly important
search engine and is used more than all of the other search engines.
Yahoo charges $299 per year for a listing. For this fee, Yahoo guarantees
that they will review your submission within seven days - they do
not, however, guarantee acceptance. We are experienced in designing
site which meet Yahoo's criteria and have never had a site rejected.
Yahoo is expensive, but it is a must when it come to promoting your
business.
We charge $25 to submit our clients to Yahoo. This charge covers
any extra work that may be needed to meet Yahoo's guidelines. Although
this will not a guarantee that you site will be listed we will make
sure your site meets the guidelines before being submitted.
There are also several search engines that allow users to submit
to free of charge. We work with several of these engines and will
submit your site to them also free of charge.
Once you web site up and running, your web address should be on
every piece of advertising you do. Most print advertising is very
expensive. Because of this the size and content is usually limited.
A web site address added to this advertising allows your customer
a way to get more details about you specials and services at a fraction
of the cost of printing this information.
Emerald Internet will sit down with you and discuss your promotional
budget and help you decide what your best way to advertise is based
on your needs and budget.
