Now what? You have submitted your website to all the important search engines and directories and you're not (yet) showing up in search results. What can you do to promote the visibility of your website on the Internet and promotion of your website in general?

1. Use link popularity to boost your ranking in search engines. You need other websites to link to yours as links make it easier for search engines to find your website and search engines use the number of links as a measure of importance. Do some research on the Internet and find other relevant quality websites and contact them and see if they are prepared to link to yours, make reciprocal link requests but do make sure you target websites with a high page ranks.
2. Start a blog. Many blog sites contain a lot of content and links and are indexed by search engines. Information on how to start a blog can be found at http://www.blogger.com/start.
3. If you sell a product it's a good idea to register with as many shopping and retailers directories.
4. If you sell a product, ask the manufacturer to place a link on their website to yours.
5. Start using email signatures. This is a very easy way of promoting your website.
6. Start a newsletter and email the letter to your clients, contacts and other relevant sources.
