New Elgg Social Media site by GeDesPi

I know it’s the second post I have made today informing you of a new site launch. I admit this one is from the same company as the first post.
This site is based on the award winning open source software “Elgg”, and this site is pure social media more in the realms of a mini “Facebook”, photo albums and all!
Unlike Facebook’s 500 million subscribers this one one had only a couple of subscribers (one of which is me “gerpil” and I set up a group “megamentor”) when I last checked, well it is only 12 hours old!
The administrator is a personal friend of mine and has worked very hard on setting this little baby up.
Again it costs nothing to sign up, I am sure if enough people visit there and join it will become a useful place to network and meet like minded people.
Well there is no harm in checking it out. GeDesPi

I have just come accross a brand new site called GeDesPi.net it launched only 24 hours ago and it’s based on the open source Pligg CMS content management system Social Media (like Digg).
You can post your daily marketing news and online business activity interests, your source for social news and networking. Although I have been warned that it has very strict anti-spamming controls in place. Costs nothing to join and I am sure if enough people visit there and join it will become a useful resource.

How to Acquire Free Web Site Promotion
You have finished making your own website. You have introduced your company and presented your products and services. You have added propositions and promos to catch your target audience’s attention. You have achieved the dos and don’ts of building a company web site. But why isn’t your website a major success?
Maybe you’re not planning the key to the best promotion of your web site. Here are some guidelines on how to acquire free web site promotions for your company’s success.
If you have started to promote your web site, keep it constant. If you promote your site with persistence, it will catch your audience’s attention.
Be patient. Try each method in promotion until you acquire the best, free promotion there is. You have to accept trial and error for your web site to reach the top.
There are many ways for your web site to be seen. Here are some free web site promotions you could try until you find the most effective.
*Free promotions such as search engines and directories would give your web site the deserved traffic you always wanted. Make sure to check your web site’s ranking to know whether or not this type of free promotion is right for you.
*Make a deal with other web sites on trading links which could help both web sites. Make sure to use words that could easily interest the audience.
*Find free classified ads that could boost the promotion of your web site. These ads could be seen by other people who you are not targeting for, but may as well be interested in your services.
*Free and low-cost internet banners are spread all through out the World Wide Web. Banners that pop-up at the top of a page or in a separate window would automatically catch your target audience’s attention.
If your web site and its free promotion did not work even after accomplishing these methods, analyze your web site. Track down all visitors, advertisements, and transactions. Then locate errors in your web site. Upload new files to your web site continuously for audience to return for new products and services. Monitor your own web site if it’s up in the market or down.
Then be ready to try the methods again and surely it will work.
It has always been said that the best things in life are free. Yes they are. And as soon as your free web site promotion proves to the audience its worth, then you’ll believe it’s true.
Two Basic Parts of a Low Cost Web Site Promotion
Anybody could own a web site. Anybody could up sell their own products and services to their target audience. Anyone could try to promote their web site with a low cost. But there are not many web sites that have a truly successful web site with traffic all day through. What these individuals or companies lack is the most essential factor of success – a low cost web site promotion that really works.
If you have been trying to promote your own web site and you have received traffic every hour, my hands are down for you. But for those people who need assistance, who does not have the patience to promote their own product and services, and lacks knowledge to properly advertise themselves, here are some guidelines to help you achieve success with a low cost web site promotion.
Search Engine Submission and Ranking are the two basic parts to a low cost web site promotion. Both of the parts have the same effect on the market of the web site – for your products and services presented in your web site catches the people’s attention.
The first inexpensive method of web site promotion is the search engine submission. This first part is the act filing information and submitting your web site to search engines. There are two types of Search engine submission – manual and automatic. For a low cost and effective web site promotion, automatic submission is ideal because after filling up the information, a software program would forward this information to other search engines.
The second money-saving web site promotion is ranking. This refers to the numerical position in which your web site appears on a search engine, based upon the web site’s criteria. Some search engines rank the order in which your search results appear primarily by how many other web sites link to each page. The leading web sites on this order would eventually fulfill a low cost web site promotion.
Other types of inexpensive web site promotion you could use to boost up traffic on your web site are banner advertising, classified ads, text links and section sponsorship. Banner advertisements pop up above and below web pages, and sometimes in another window. Text links and section sponsorship may cost more, but these methods helps in promoting to your specified target audience. It wouldn’t harm your web site to try these methods.
Always remember that the effects of your not so costly web site promotion hits are increasing significantly each day. Don’t waste time; find an effective and affordable web site promotion of your choice today.
