Its very easy to forget the power more traditional forms of promotion. I think this list is a great refresher for those who are absorbed by purely web-based forms of promotion and neglect the potential of the outside world..

I don't want to be rude, but a lot of your points are geared towards local businesses. Some websites are blogs, directories, music download sites, e-book sites, online web development sites, and so forth and will benefit from only a few of your points. Some of your ideas a bit pricey and too fancy for average sites. But nevertheless, if I ever morph my business into a franchise that spans across the entire US, I'll make sure to implement all your tips. In fact, put billboards under #26, I could do that.

[guinanie]

That was an extensive lists of website promotion on which I can use in promoting our site. Thank you for sharing

[x3mario]

Nice way of promoting site but we also consider the budget for that...

[eXweso]

To be frank, the ways are simple, but we rather need cost effective ways than expensive simple ways.

Advertising in radios or on TVs isn't normal PPC stuff, it requires huge bank balance.

Some points are really good though. Thanks for them

I think it is only appropriate to say that you have compiled a very good list of marketing techniques. Nicely done.

I would like to comment as far as marketing strategies are concerned. Yes it is true that these 25 marketing techniques are all effective ito exposure. However I would like to point out the importance of utilizing the correct marketing strategy for your business before utilizing any of those techniques.

I would like to point out some need to know facts about the following:
Newspapers, Radio, TV, Pamphlets and other conventional
The first question when deciding on a strategy is ask yourself how targeted the technique. If you do not have a large marketing budget DO NOT go for these. They are non-targeted, repetition required marketing techniques.

In terms of online marketing techniques
It is important to realise the fact that SEO is not the secret to success, it is the prize! Why is it the prize, simply because it provides the best quality traffic if you rank for targeted keywords, however. When planning your online marketing strategy, do not rely on SEO to become successful. However, SEO needs to be kept in mind when applying your other online marketing strategies. Do not choose just one of the strategies, but rather plan your days so you can apply a couple of these techniques properly. No online marketing technique is effective all by itself. By just making blog comments, forum posts, press releases, articles etc. by itself you will find that you receive trickles of traffic. By combining techniques, you will find that the trickles are more often and the start forming a river. By keeping SEO in mind you will soon find that your other marketing techniques had a multiplying effect on your SEO.

I think it is important to emphasize that the secret to marketing is not the medium, but to ensure that you can apply the patience and focus to make it work for you, utilizing as many techniques as possible properly.
