Some shoestring marketing ideas:\n\n1. Create the best content you can offering the best products in your niche. Your product is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. \n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website.

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\nRecommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nBig Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml \nCGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nHostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. \n\nhttp://www.prleap.com/sign_up.html\nhttp://i-newswire.com/\nhttp://www.24-7pressrelease.com/\nhttp://www.pressbox.co.uk/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi\nhttp://www.pr.com/press-releases\nhttp://www.prfree.com/\nhttp://www.clickpress.com/releases/index.shtml\nhttp://www.theopenpress.com/\nhttp://www.przoom.com/\nhttp://www.prweb.com\nhttp://www.newswiretoday.com/\nhttp://www.free-press-release.com/\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\nHere is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481\n\n6. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:\n\nCraigslist http://www.craigslist.com\nGoogle Base http://base.google.com\nClassifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/...\nText Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/\nRecycler.com http://www.recycler.com/\nYahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/\nUS Free Ads http://www.usfreeads.com/

Here's some things I do to promote my website and all these techniques are free:\n\nWrite articles, submit them to article directories, with a link to your site in your resource box\n\nBlogging is a big thing.  Set up a blog for your site and post in it every day, and every time you update your blog ping it with ping-o-matic or pingoat.  Of course have a link to your site in your blog for your visitors to see.\n\nExchange links with other sites similar to your site.  Also submit your link to as many link directories as possible.\n\nPost in forums related to your site, and have a link to your site in your signature file.\n\nIf possible, create a splash page about your site and promote that in traffic exchanges.  This tends to be more successful than promoting your main site in traffic exchanges with my experience, since a splash page is short sweet and to the point, and captures the visitor's information.\n\nAnd this is just the tip of the iceberg of what you can do for free advertising.

1. Submit your site to major search engines, especially Google \n2. Submit your site to major web site directories, especially DMOZ \n3. Exchange links with other webmasters, but only with sites that are related to yours (reciprocal linking) \n4.

I took a look at your site and here are my comments:\n\n1. You can improve your search engine ranking (and getting found by people through the SEs) by adding a title tag to your website. Right now, it only says "Home". I'm not familiar with Yahoo Sitebuilder, but you need to change this:\n\n <head><title>Home</title> to\n\n <head><title>ABC Office Supply: Office Supplies, Computer Supplies and Other Business Needs</title>\n\nPut the keywords in your title. It's not a guarantee, but it can significantly improve your chances.\n\n2. Improve the aesthetics of the site. The dark blue is too overpowering. Limit the underlined text to those that are clickable (on the Web, when it is underlined, people think it can be clicked).\n\n3. Put featured products on your site. Also highlight discounts or ongoing promotions\n\n4. Market your site well. Try pay per click. Make deals with some offices to buy from you and not from the bigger stores. Give people a reason why they will come to you, and not to another store
