3 Great Website Promotion Ideas: Which Works Best For You?
...... (hence the 'maybe').
* The real website promotion idea'
Probably contained in each issue of the Trafficology newsletter.
=> Site 3: TextMeFree.com
* So, what is TextMeFree.com '
A worldwide guide to free SMS text messaging services !
(You're looking puzzled, I can tell!)
...And as such, TextMeFree.com will not help you promote YOUR
website at all. "So why do I mention it in this article'" I hear
you ask. I'll explain in a moment.
TextMeFree.com is also an example of a theme-based or niche site,
designed around a high-demand/low-supply concept - free sms.
* Verdict on TextMeFree.com
Okay, I admit it, TextMeFree.com is a site I created; more as an
experiment in building traffic than anything else. But get this!
I
finished the site at the end of June 2001, and it is already
receiving over 1000 page views a day, in the middle of July. Yes,
one thousand per day!
(Are you starting to get interested, yet')
I have created enough websites to be impressed with 1000 page
views and 200 unique visitors per day. (Especially when the site
is less than a month old, and after only the most basic of
website promotion on my part; no money spent.)
How can a guide to 'sending free text messages' help you'
TextMeFree.com is irrelevant, in itself. It is simply an example
of a site that meets a high demand - free SMS text messaging
services - with little or no supply. It is simply an example of a
theme-based site that gets word-of-mouth and repeat traffic, and
will soon get search engine traffic too!
And if I can create a 'TextMeFree.com', then you too can create
a site with high demand and low supply; a site that focuses
on a niche, or theme; a site designed around so-called
'profitable' keywords. How'
Visit Wordtracker and use their free keyword suggestion tool!
Wordtracker determines keyword 'profitability' based on keywords
that you choose, and measured against the Alta Vista search
engine. For each keyword, it calculates a Keyword Effectiveness
Index or KEI (invented by Sumantra Roy of 1stSearchRanking).
Generate keywords with a KEI over 100, like 'free sms' or 'mobile
Marketing CompetitorsThere are thousands of business opportunities online. Most of them require some capital ..... phone ringtones' and you have a site concept worth developing.

(The paid-for Wordtracker service determines keyword
profitability against all the major search engines and
directories, including the pay-per-click search engine GoTo. It
costs less than $10 for one day!
I also confirmed my results using SBI Manager, part of Site Build
It! - an innovative all-in-one system that lets you convert your
passion into a theme-based, search-engine-friendly site, no HTML
required. http://buildit.sitesell.com/shopping101.html .)
TextMeFree.com or high-demand/low-supply niche site - 9/10
* Who really benefits from TextMeFree.com'
Answer: You benefit.
You don't benefit from TextMeFree.com in itself, but you will
benefit from creating a site like TextMeFree.com - theme-based,
focussed on in-demand keywords, with few competitors. (Believe
me, it's a lot easier promoting a site that people *want* to
visit! You're simply doing people a favour, half the time, when
you tell them about it. And then people genuinely *do* tell their
friends.)
* The real website promotion idea'
Create a theme-based or niche site, about an in-demand subject
with few competitor sites. For more information and ideas, visit:

So which website promotion idea works best for you'
StartBlaze offers a quick and easy way to get (low-quality ')
visitors to your site, but is a great way to promote Aesop.com
(and associated websites). Trafficology newsletter lets you learn
from the best, but there is no guarantee of success. And
TextMeFree.com will not help you promote your website, but is a
great example of getting traffic when you simply 'meet a need.'
Why not visit the sites, and see for yourself!
PS As I finish writing this article, and after publicising the
site recently in a press release, TextMeFree.com is now
receiving over 2000 page views per day. (Now if only I could
convert some of that traffic into income...!)
