Internet Marketing on a Budget
Businesses seeking increased traffic to their websites and social media
profiles can hire an SEO expert to review and revamp their current
pages. While this is sure to pay off in the long run, it can come at a steep
cost. Fortunately, there are many ways for web marketers to increase
their search rankings without spending any money whatsoever.

Here are three excellent methods to improve your web presence and
drive inbound leads at no cost.
1. List your business in free business directories.
Business directories are an excellent vehicle to promote your business
because they are already optimized to show up high in web searches.
Any links you receive from these directories will have a greater weight,
due to the elevated Google PageRank that the directories enjoy.
Reputable directories include Thumbtack, Merchant Circle, and Contact
Squid.

Of these, the Contact Squid free business directory probably offers the
most internet marketing "oomph" thanks to built-in Facebook and
Twitter feeds as well as the ability to optimize your profile page for the
search engines.
When submitting to directories, make each separate profile unique.
Write up a good description of your business using the keywords you
want to rank highly for. Take advantage of any additional media the
directories allow you to upload, such as pictures and videos.
2. Produce as many backlinks possible yourself.
Backlinks are simply links on websites around the `net that point back to
your page. They are one of the most important components in search
engine optimization, so time spent getting backlinks to your site is time
very well spent.
Sign up for accounts on bookmarking sites such as Digg, Stumbleupon,
etc. and submit your websites and your business directory pages to them.
Also, Tweet, +1, and "like" the pages as well, including the URLs with
your posts.
3. Optimize your actual links and URLs

The last tip for free do-it-yourself internet marketing is to optimize your
URLs and links. First, place keywords in the URLs themselves. If you are
trying to rank for "Fresno Jewelry," then the URL for your bridal
jewelry-based page should be something like
"http://www.contactsquid.com/The-Vault-Jewelry/Fresno-
Entertainment/126".
Next, when submitting links around the web, it is better to place
keywords in the anchor text instead of your URL when allowed. Anchor
text consists of the words that make up a hyperlink. Taking our bridal
jewelry page example, the anchor text should appear as "Fresno Bridal
Jewelry" instead of "http://www.contactsquid.com/fresnobridaljewelry."
In addition to linking to your main website, make sure you also place
some links pointing to your directory profile pages as well.
Following the tips in this article will give you a very good fighting
chance among the thousands of other businesses in your industry
competing for search engine rankings. The results will make you very
glad you invested all the time and effort to do it right.
