keep
in mind
there are billions of sites on the net today. How do you get your site
noticed
is the question everyone asks? Before we set you off to explore all the
wealth
of knowledge that we provide below, we must warn you, DO YOUR RESEARCH
BEFORE
YOU BUY ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH INTERNET MARKETING. Below you will
find
a list of topics that are covered in the area, Please click on the
topic that
interest you to learn more.
How do I get my site set up?
If you are looking to get a new site, other than the one Hotels Etc. provides you, then we would recommend a few different options.
1. If you want to do it yourself, the best site we have discovered is www.citymax.com
2. If you want a custom site, we would recommend visiting sites such as www.guru.com to post a project. This is the most effective and safest way to have your own site built. If you would like Hotels Etc. to custom create you a site, then contact info@certsetc.com for prices.
How do I offer link exchange?
"A link exchange (also known as
a banner
exchange) is a confederation of websites
that operates similarly to a web ring.
Webmasters
register their web sites with a central organization, that runs the
exchange, and in turn receive from the exchange HTML
code which they insert into their web pages. In contrast to a web ring,
where the HTML code simply comprises simple circular ring navigation
hyperlinks,
in a link exchange the HTML code causes the display of banner
advertisements,
for the sites of other members of the exchange, on the member web
sites, and webmasters have to create such banner advertisements for
their own web sites.
How do I research if a company is credible or not?"
Several search engines are actually starting to block this technique from improving your search engine status. A more effective way to increase your link popularity is to get one-way links. This is when another website post your link on there site. You are not obligated to place anything on your the site Hotels Etc. provides you with. If you are interested in offering link exchange, then you will need to have your own website developed. Hotels Etc. offers this service, check your "distributor store" for availability.
How do I offer advertising spots on my site?
If you want to offer ad space on your site, then you must have your own custom created website. We do offer this service at Hotels Etc. if you are interested email, info@hotelsetc.com
How do I email
blast?
The companies above allow you to blast your own mailing list. It is a great feature to have and an excellent lead capturing system.
How
do I blog Blast?
There are alot of companies that offer Blog Blasting. It is a great way to get links across the Internet and alot of people read blogs. Be cautious when choosing the program or company that you end up doing business with.
A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog") is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (Video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.
As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.
How do I write and submit press releases?
There are several companies that offer press release distribution. But before you can send a press release, you will need to know what a press release is and how to properly write one. I recommend searching for press releases on google and read them. Pay special attention to the larger companies. They typically have a full time press release writer on staff and they are professionals at what they do. If it works for them, it will work for you.
Press releases are a great way to get the word out for free. The only cost is writing a press release and the distribution of your press release.
Once you complete your research, go back to google and
research "Press release distribution" and locate the company you will
feel comfortable doing business with. We will be listing companies that
we work with in the near future.
How are the orders taken and who gets the money?
When a customer visits your site, they are palcing the order through you. If they choose to pay online via credit card, they can do so by clicking your join page and clicking "Buy Now". Once they have placed their order, you will receive an email with the customers order and information. Simply mail them out the Hotels Etc. membership card along with the Gold Members Welcome letter and you are done. Pocket the money.
