I just started my web-based business 2 months ago, and am patiently waiting for it to take off. I have been researching ways to increase traffic to my site and don’t have the budget for buying ranks on yahoo seaches or any of that software that is out there. Besides real-time advertisement ie Word of mouth, flyers etc. What else can I do?
I accidentally did that on some of my other postings then learned that it was a violation of YahooASK rules, so no, I will not list my website
Okay-details on the website: it involves admissions consulting, reviewing applications and editing essays, resumes etc. Most of my friends say that the site is great so I am not worried about the setup or presentation– I need advice on how to promote my website without buying all of the extra stuff that is offered on the internet.

Admissions consulting?
That’s an area with a lot of potential, if you know what you’re doing.
Be sure to talk about success stories on your website … how many kids you helped to get perfect SAT scores, how many you helped to get into Princeton, MIT, Stanford and Harvard, how many you helped to win full scholarships, etc.
Oh … you haven’t done any of those things? Well, why would anybody pay you instead of just using their high school counselor for free?
You could make a lot of money in this field, but you need to offer real value for your services.
Concentrate first on developing a really good website, with lots of useful information and links.
After you have that done, then start calling attention to yourself.
One good way is with a blog about college admissions issues. Use the proper blogging tools (Blogger is a good one), and make it easy for search engines to find your website, and traffic will come … but there needs to be something good there when the visitors look at it.
Good luck!
