I visited searchengineforums first, obviously!) 5: DON'T FORGET PAY-PER-CLICK SEARCH ENGINES!Add more keywords to your various pay-per-click accounts. This is agreat way to make new content available, quickly. (You just have towait for keyword-approval by the pay-per-click administrators).Choose profitable keywords (high demand, low supply), identifiedwhen you began creating new content. But, as you pay for eachclick, it's important that you only get clicks from your potentialcustomers; so choose your keywords, title & description carefully.===== Big Side Bar =====Don't know what Pay-per-click search engines are? They are searchengines, like GoTo, that allow you to choose how highly your siteranks for a particular keyword. So you make a bid on a keyword. Andif your bid is highest, your site features highest on that searchengine's ranking, for that keyword. And for each click your listinggenerates, you pay the amount that you bid to the search engine.Pay-per-click search engines are proving to be an excellent way toget extra traffic. Especially when you consider that results fromGoTo, the main pay-per-click, feed into highly-placed sponsoredlinks on many of the major search engines.===== Big Side Bar =====To learn much, much more about pay-per-click search engines visitthis excellent site: http://www.PayPerClickSearchEngines.com/ 6: FIND OTHER PROMOTION SOURCESSearch engines are not the only way to promote your site.
