Re: [Merged] Promote your own website
Just sent an email with some useful links in for e-marketing to a relative and thought that sharing them here might help the Cf members as well.
Her site is http://www.tall-boutique.co.uk if you would like to stop buy - I did not design it mind.
Statcounter
http:/www.statcounter.com/
This is pretty much the industry standard for tracking visitors to your site. You won't need the paid for package as the free one gives you a history of the last 500 page views. We subscribe to it and get a 1000 page view history but at the time the were only giving out 100 as the freebie.
Google Suggest
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
Try's to auto complete keyword search's as you type. Useful because it shows you in popularity order the other keywords and key phrases.
Google Adwords
https://adwords.google.com/
The defacto internet advertising medium. Allows you to place your adverts to the top and right of the keyword searchs. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad and visits your site. If you do this spend time to make sure that the text in the ad give's a call to action 'buy it now' and that the text in the ad matches the targeted keyword and also that the keyword & text in the ad are somewhere on the page you send the link to.
Prweb
http://www.prweb.com/
Offers a free way to get press release's out there and will increase your net profile. (and in the end Google rank)
Anatomy of a search engine
http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html
Links to part of the initial University project by the founders of Google in which they explain what they where trying to create. They also give (if a little complex) information about how Google provides results back to the searcher.
Google Blog
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/
Official source of news from Google themselves.
Search Engine Spider Simulator
http://www.webconfs.com/search-engine-spider-simulator.php
See how your web page look to a search spider.
Google guide - Improving Page rank
http://www.googleguide.com/improving_pagerank.html
Page rank is the multiplier that is the final part in how far up the normal (organic) Google search listings you can reach. Google rates sites by content and relevance then multiplies this by the page rank figure so moving from PR1 to 2 can catapult you up the listings. Our work site is sat at PR4 which I'm very proud of. Links to your site are key to getting this higher.
Publicising your website
http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/publicizing
Worth a read through.
URL Trends
http://www.urltrends.com/viewtrend.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tall-boutique.co.uk
Good information about your site and its ranking in various places. Plus gives you your Alexa Rank.
Page rank Prediction tool
http://iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction
Exactly what it says on the tin.

Re: [Merged] Promote your own website
Perhaps something to do with the recent hacking attempt. Simply copy and paste then or remove the blocked from the front in the address window.

It's more likely down to them being copied from an email in Outlook.
I've had some links in emails that Outlook pre-fixes with blocked::

I did wonder about that. Probably best the links are blocked (even though they are all 100% safe).
I sent the mail then dived into sent items to copy the text for here.

Re: [Merged] Promote your own website
Small point ik, but I would be tempted to move the menu on the left down a bit so that the top of it is level with the top of the picture on the right.
Other than that it looks nice so far

Re: [Merged] Promote your own website
If I had to critises it would be your html coding. It is a mixture of upper and lower case. If you dropped it into lower case and used css instead of tables it would be very simple to redesign.
