Internet Marketing Q&A
What are the most common white-hat methods of advertising a new website? Been out of the game for the past 6 years.
Social Marketing. Start a page on facebook, find awesome pictures and use them for featured articles on your we page, use catchy titles for your content and repost to your facebook page. You can increase your fb page popularity via link collider or typical social engagement for posting interesting content that people will share that may or may not be connected to your webpage.
Having a few decent backlinks and making sure your website is submitted to google/bing/yahoo will go a long ways aswell.
really depends on the website and type of content you are trying to promote.
is link-building still relevant? Seems like a fastidious process. Is it possible to rank up this google places thing an how? Is it worth the hassle to rank for minor research engines?
link building is very relevant. However, it is best to do it the old fashioned way and stay engaged with other blogger and webmasters. leaving links in forums is a very good way to generate links relevant to your niche, just don't go willy nilly and spam your domain everywhere as this could count against you.
google places can be ranked just like any other webpage, but if you're lazy just get good backlinks, verify your business with google, use facebook to post content that has a highly likelihood of being shared and gain free marketing via shares/likes. i would highly recommend spending at least $20 on facebook advertising to gain likes .
TY user makes sense. Also is, in your opinion, Amazon affiliate program still a good method of making passive (or low maintenance) income?
yessir, one of the oldest blogs i have that still brings in revenue is a blogger page with 25 500 word articles of reviews for a certain product that is available on amazon. It was making about $250 a month about 5-6 years ago but now its only making about $75/m. still ranks on the first page of google though. the difference in revenue is from a change in ranking from #1 in google for my keywords to 6th place.
how can I link build on Veeky Forums,Reddit,Tumblr,Pinterest, and quora?
my seo website domain is rankraising, is this good or could i do better? also how is my logo?
post interesting and relevant OC (like pics and vids with catchy titles like "this chick took a fat dump, you'll never guess what happens next" related to your niche with a link back to your site. Its all about content these days, your site can look like absolute crap, but as long as there is awesome content, it can look like it was made in 95.
