If you are an active user of the Internet, this probably means that you have an own web-site, or you are going to create it. All owners of web-projects sooner or later have to face such problems as promotion of their brainchildren, site optimization and promoting it to higher positions in the search engines. Well-promoted project is a matter of company?s image, or if we consider personal web pages ? is a matter of pride. Unfortunately, in Russian segment of the Internet web-site promotion is not so popular in comparison with our colleagues from abroad. But Internet marketing and advertising gains bigger scope day after day.

We see various Internet advertisement companies appearing. Some of them:

• Search engine optimization;
• Banner advertisement;
• Contextual advertisement;
• Web-site promotion, registration in the leading catalogues, search engines, rates etc.

Sometimes it?s very hard for inexperienced user to make his mind and consider services that one or another company provides. And unfortunately, very often is makes a client disappointed. He loses his money having nothing in return.

In this article we will try to warn you of common mistakes connected with purchasing various services of your projects promotion.

So, let?s begin.

Perhaps, many of you have met such expressions as:

We encounter such expressions, unfortunately, too often. Just recently we were negotiating with prospective customers, who wanted their site to be promoted with ?creative methods?, using ?robot-programs for promotion their site to the highest positions in the search engines? as an auxiliary. We tried to inquire what ?creative methods? and ?robots? ? still unknown for us ? did they mean to say about ? we couldn?t resist our curiosity. Certainly, we didn?t make a contract and work on their site. It?s obviously that such kind of reasoning was caused by conversation with such an ?optimizator?. It?s a pity, because a customer is the first who suffers, without even seeing his site in the top ten of a search engine.

Another myth we would like to mention is prices for web-site optimization services.

We have to upset you ? this statement is nothing else than obvious fraud. Only complex approach to problems solution can make a success. Besides, professional services cost much more. Sad but true. Web-sites optimization and promotion is rather hard work of professionals in the field of search engine optimization. Program code optimization, choosing keywords, raising the web-sites position in the search engines and many other measures ? sometimes all these take months of diligent analyzes of site contents, rivals? network, algorithms of the search system work. So, if you still want to apply for help of a serious company that provides Internet advertising and marketing services ? prepare for productive cooperation. Believe ? your expenses will return. And don?t forget ? greedy one pays twice.

Only a person who knows nothing about search engine optimization and Internet advertising can say so. Nobody can give you 100% guarantee, as it?s impossible at all. Algorithms of the search engines constantly vary, web site ranking methods develop day by day. Only a professional can really foresee your project position in the search system, of course if it is about a popular keyword (such as ? web, video, mp3 and many others), and a reasonable budget of advertising campaign. It?s worth of people?s efforts who are involved in web-sites promotion and optimization on the worldwide web.

Beware of companies that offer you thousands of visitor in a short term (some 5-10 days) ? it?s another myth. Believe us, 100 visitors who are interested in your site are better than 1000, which just ?stare? at your site or are drawn by spam. Beware of spam ? you can lose both your resource and your company?s reputation. Don?t forget ? Rome wasn?t built in a day. Patience is the best policy in this case. Well-developed and promoted sites are to be created by professional promoters? efforts for months, and even years.
