Marketing in Times of Economic Strife

12 January 2012 - by Ogdenian

One thing that I have learned is that perseverance always wins out in regards to economic downturns such as what’s happening in the USA and elsewhere today. So, I always do everything I can to market my own business and suggest that you do too. As a rule of thumb, I never create too many links back to my site in a short period of time because the search engines like a natural link building progression. Here are my picks for marketing, site marketing analytics, online classifieds, graphic design tools, video converting tools, up-and-coming social media sites, online file transfer tools, and new search engines:

Cuil is a new search engine with over 121,617,892,992 web pages indexed so far, add your site for free: http://www.cuil.com/info/contact_us/feedback.php?to=crawl%20me

Ever need a font file and don’t know what the font is called? Use http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ to find out what a font is.

Rapid Share (http://rapidshare.com/) allows you to send up to 200 megabyte files online to anyone for free. They offer faster paid services, though you can use it for free at a very slow transfer rate.

Friendster (http://www.friendster.com/) is huge non-American social media site. Another social network worth having a foothold in for marketing purposes, they also have a huge free “OLX Free Classifieds” section at http://olx.friendster.com.

Website Grader (http://www.websitegrader.com/) is a free tool that grades a web site in SEO terms. I feel that this is generally a good tool that can give insightful information.

Subscribing to a blog search engine or feed increases the popularity of a blog. A feed is similar to http://ogdenian.com/flash-web-designer-blog/?feed=rss2
