It's the sellers that make a vibrant marketplace with a huge variety of product new and used that buyers can choose from. Buyers will always attract sellers but if sellers gather in one place sellers will attract buyers also.
Your online store needs promotion just as a physical store does. Keep in mind that just as with a brick and mortar store, you can have a great looking store with great products and pricing but if no one knows about your store you aren't going to get any sales. There are many different ways you can get the word out about your online store. A great way to get your store noticed is through the web's top search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo. Whether you are selling golf clubs or cookies search engines have people looking for what you are selling. Search engines sort web sites through rank (Who'e first and who's last). Ranking is achieved through links on and off your web site. The more links found by the search engine bots (spiders) the better your web site ranking will be and the more traffic you will get. Auction Store and Marketplace Host was created so you can place a link to your junk store and get ranked better.
There are many other ways you can promote your website as well. Remember, any way you can get visitors to your site is potentially a sale. Here are just a few ideas:
Newspaper and magazine ads
Bumper stickers and t-shirts
Posting links in relevant blogs
Asking other relevant websites to trade links with you
Word of mouth
Posting website in online directories
Flyers and posters
Online banner ads
Links on your Facebook, MySpace and other social networking pages
There are literally thousands of ways you can promote your web store. You can probably think of a few others right now. The concept is pretty simple: the more visitors you get to your website, the more sales you'll make. So go get your web store name out there!
Of coarse paid advertising is always the best and most recommended method of advertising your web site and getting fast traffic but if you don't have a budget to pay the thousands of dollars it's going to take to advertise your web site then finding places to link build and advertise your store for free is the next best thing. Web sites that offer "Free" advertising usually don't produce to much traffic to your web site but you will get a person or two wandering through your web site from the Free advertising sites now and again. Something is better than nothing at all?
The internet operates on links and even though you think putting your link on a low traffic web site is a waste of time it's not. The search engine bots (algorithms) the search servers use to find web sites and index them into their electronic files also rank your web site by the amount of links you have on other web sites. If your not showing up in web searches you may not have any links on other web sites or you may be appearing at the back of the pack. The search engines will suspend your site if you have links to bad web sites (neighborhoods) on your site. Usually porno web sites and web sites that are out to cheat and steal from people will get your web site suspended if their links are found on your web site. "Watch Out".
