Short-term Strategies

Press Releases – The use of the press release is a proven method of inviting individuals to view your site in a manner that provides the information in a news-oriented format. Many online and print publications will publish these releases as a professional courtesy.

Message Boards and Business Blogs – These may require some time, but the strategy is not overly difficult to develop. By placing a link to your business site in postings in a message board you may find potential customers visiting your site as they begin to trust your expertise in the message board (often called a forum). A business blog (b-blog) is a great way to share your personality with a growing customer base. Both strategies can be implemented at little or no cost.

Search Engine Directories – While most search engines will ultimately find and index your site automatically you can be proactive by locating search engines that allow you to submit your url for potential inclusion in their search engine. This simply alerts them to your presence sooner.

Article Links – You may have some original content on your site that may be beneficial to other sites. By exchanging original content with other sites you may be able to find links posted with each article to be a positive way to drive traffic to your site earlier.

Social Networking Sites – Placing your personal and business information on a social networking site like My Space can also be a means of driving visitors to your site.

During the past decade, I have noticed the prevalence of name changing, as I am sure you have also. Several of the organizations with which I am involved have chosen new and different names that they feel represent them and their missions more descriptively. Companies who were ready for a new start have changed names to reflect a new attitude, direction and/or focus. Some of these changes have made a positive difference, others have just caused confusion.

Knowing what to change is not enough. You need to get the owners of the problem to find it for themselves. Here is a story to illustrate.
