Let me try to clear up a few things for you. This is for those of you who are trying to promote your web site on a very limited budget. Here's some basic information you want to remember regarding internet marketing.

1. To start with make sure you have some good stats for your web site. You can get a lot of information about the kind of traffic that your site attracts.
2. Be sure you have something to say on your web site - in text. Search engines can't read graphics.
3. Don't listen to the wolf. For example when you hear that Google doesn't rank exchange links very high it is just plain wrong. Revalent link exchanges count very well on all the search engines. Anything that Google says about internet marketing is designed to promote Google and to discourage traffic from any other source.
4. You will probably have just as much traffic coming from links from other sites as from search engines.
Most of your traffic will come from repeat visitors once your web site has been established. Make sure your site navigation is easy for the user to use.
5. Google's PR system is no longer relevant. There is way too much emphasis on Google's rating system which is now extremely close to being a random system.
6. There are more search engines on the net other than Google. Many of you may find that you get better quality traffic from Yahoo or Bing, or even other web sites.
7. Target your links with keywords. Make sure the keyword you are targeting is within the page you are promoting, as well as links that lead to that page.
8. If you want to target multiple keywords, make sure you have a seperate page for every 3-4 keywords.
9. Make sure there is an html element on your web site. Many search engines have difficulty tracking software generated links.
