The Quest In Advertising Your Website
Website advertising, the unending quest of every website owner. And Free is a word I work towards. But free on the net has many different meanings. And many of them are just not free at all. An effective means of advertising I have found, as I am sure many of you also have discovered, are the traffic surfing sites. So gain an advantage. Register your main website url on a few traffic surfing sites, or many of them, as I choose to do. And put into the mix advertising for a few of the different traffic surfing sites themselves.
Each person that signs up under you, earns you traffic credits. Thus creating a continuous traffic effect for your main website, which you are trying to promote. Monitor it occasionaly though, just to make sure it is all running correctly. And if not just continue the process once again. Trial and error, with a little luck thrown in, builds that free traffic. And if you are really keen, add into your main website free banners that also gain credits for each view. And in time you will gain that consistent flow of free traffic. Maybe not the most targeted traffic you need to get your website. But every hit does help.
This is just one of the methods I use, and it really does provide a constant flow, through to my main website. Lets face it though, getting people to view your site isn't really that hard. The ideas that you can come up with to drive traffic to your website for free is virtually endless. Just use a little imagination. However getting people to purchase your products ect, once they are on your website. That is a whole different article, many articles really. So I will leave that one till next time.

According to an article appeared on PCWorld earlier today, the Indian Yahoo! team would be developing an innovative search technology that, in response to a search query, will offer users summaries of web pages rather than the usual list of links and text tokens from the page itself.
The British version of Microsoft's search engine recently launched "MSN Unsigned", a service to promote emerging bands and give musicians a wider audience for their tracks. Unsigned is similar in its format to what several other Internet companies have been offering so far, but should get a significant boost from the over 400 million Live Search users spread around the world.
In the summer of 2007, Universal Search was unleashed. Suddenly the search engines were incorporating images, news, shopping, local and video into organic search results. So far I've spoken about the significance of shopping and local in this space. Since then, a recent study by comScore has tagged YouTube as the second most popular search engine. Maybe it's time to show Video some love.
According to Associated Press Carl Icahn, American billionaire financier and investor, has managed to acquire $67 million in Yahoo! shares, bringing his total stake of the company to some $75.6 mln, or about 5.5 percent of the company, in a move that has taken many analysts by surprise.
When we last left Yahoo!, Jerry Yang (CEO) and the rest of the board had just spurned Microsoft's $44.6 billion takeover bid for the supposedly greener pastures of potential deals with AOL, News Corporation, and/or Google. The rejection of Microsoft's bid also put the current board on a collision course with Carl Icahn in what looked to be a battle for control of Yahoo!'s board of directors.
Google's latest iPhone application that allows users to perform Web searches via voice recognition has been said to explicitly break Apple's "App Store" rules since the Google team made use of an undocumented API which shouldn't normally be used by iPhone developers, Google spokesman said earlier today in a statement.
A lot of people are unaware of Google.org, the philanthropic wing of Google. Since its inception, Google.org has been involved in a variety of initiatives covering such global issues as health and disease, climate change, education, poverty and alternative energy.
On November 22, the Google-owned YouTube team organized YouTube Live, a "part concert, part party" event that put self-made Internet celebrities and popular singers and entertainers on the same stage and was broadcast live on the company website, encountering a record following among Internet users all around the world.
In an attempt to increase user engagement as well as ad revenue potential, yesterday Google launched "SearchWiki", a way to customize the appearance of search results with comments, annotations, result removal and even changes in the order the results for a specific query are being presented.
Is someone more likely to click on my organic or paid search result? Can Google penalize your site for purchasing links?
