Our online marketing campaign, offers all the benefits you need

Megabite Design offers many approaches to marketing when it comes to your web site, to help you achieve your online potential.

One of the biggest reasons for a web site’s failure is due to the lack of marketing. Owning a web site, and word of mouth are not enough. The world wide web consists of millions of web sites and a business owner can't expect to profit by relying on consumers just "stumbling across" them. In order for a web site to be successful, it must be visible to consumers.

The most basic part of marketing begins with the web site’s design itself. Though you as a consumer have little to do with this, it is important that your web site developer has a strong understanding of the technical end of web site development and optimizing it for marketing.

Keywords and Meta Tags are an excellent example, these are two of the most basic elements used to rank your site with search engines. A site's layout, navigation and basic structure also help to play a key role, not only with search engines, but with consumer response as well.

Search-Engines are perhaps the most basic way to increase visibility for a Web Site. Today, over 80% off all search engine traffic is handled by a mere 10 search engines, with hundreds more being created and expiring every week.

Search Engine Optimization, Is to fine tune your page by making appropriate changes to your pages for better ranking among search engines, by using creative page description, keywords and Alt tags and so on.

Search Engine Submission. Listing your site to be index by Inktomi powered search engines, such as: About, MSN, HotBot, iWON, Overture (GOTO), LookSmart, Yahoo and many others.

Google AdWords, will help you reach your marketing goals, regardless of your company size. AdWords help to make your businesses more successful and enables you to manage your own account, and with cost-per-click (CPC) pricing, you pay only when users click on your ad. You control your costs by setting a daily budget for what you are willing to spend each day.

Overture is a other effective way to connect with customers searching for your products and services. With just one buy, Overture lists your site in search results across the Web and delivers the highest return on your cost-per-click (CPC) advertising investment.

LookListings is another way to get visitors to your site they let you tailor your message to customers for specific keywords AND reach a broad audience with LookSmart's relevancy-based inclusion cost-per-click (CPC) targeting.

Web Rings are another avenue to choose, there are basically a group of sites, usually with a common interest or field which all choose to link together, usually through the form of a banners. This is an excellent way to increase site visibility and provides several external links to your site, helping to increase your popularity rating with search engines.

Bulletin Boards, there are basically a web site which serves no other purpose than to post links to other sites as a means of advertisement. The down side to Bulletin Boards is that they generally expire and therefore need to be updated frequently. The WWW Yellow Pages are A well known bulletin board with a larger client base, and no expiration date.

Banner and Link Exchanges, These are more select forms of link exchanges, existing as a cyber-partnership between Web sites. Two good examples would be a florist exchanging links with an e-card company, and a manufacturer exchanging links with a distributor.

Traditional Advertisement like the Media, Once you have your Web site up and running, don't forget to include it on your more traditional forms of advertisement.  Like take an add out in the penny saver or local News paper. Include it in your existing yellow page listing as well as radio and television ads you may run.

E-mails, collect e-mails and provide an opt-in e-mail list and send out a Newsletter on updates, new products, discounted items or a service you provide

A Press Releases in your community newspapers is a good idea and now that you have a Web site, look up local community web sites like the library and Chamber of Commerce.

If you have a brick and mortar store put up a signs or banner with your web address in the window letting your existing customers know you have an on-line prsence. Add your web address on your receipts, business cards, your letterhead, not to mention mailings or fliers.
