website would be viewed by search engines and it will be so popular because 100 websiteshave voted for you and you would rank higher than the site with only 2 votes. You can measureour website popularty by installing Google Page Rank on your web browser bar.

STEP 9:On Site Optimization.

Search engine optimization is the ability of your website to rise higher in the search engineoptimization. 80% of people click the first link on the first page and then the remaining 20%distributed in the last 19 results.

York, you could be a joint venture with all the pet stores in New York by advertising yourservices in their newsletters and stores. You could also exchange services instead of money byoffering cross promotions ..

STEP 11: Online Advertising.

Many interesting sources of online advertising such as banner advertising, Google Adwords,website promotion, e-mail advertising, etc exist online. All advertising can either be aninvestment or an expense. It is therefore important to ask yourself a few questions to know ifyour advertisement is appropriate to your target audience. When you receive a very low returnrate,then is your ad paying off? Will your ad receive an appropriate amount of traffic that giveyou a better chance of success? Online advertising is a great way to drive huge amounts oftraffic by replacing the time with money.
