Web Site Marketing Strategies?

Should You Market Your Website?
By advertising your Website on the Internet, you will competing against, tens, if not hundreds, of other Websites, offering similar services or products to your own.
In which case, if the majority of these Websites are designed to act as, Virtual Customer Service Managers, with good written content, and your site is no more than a, glorified advertisement, then it is, unlikely, your site will be able to compete, and therefore, may not be worth marketing, to any great extent.
If your site is less than a handful of pages, it is unlikely, Search Engines will place it highly in their ranking results. If it has poor ranking results, then Web surfers will not find you. Although, you can use Pay Per Click (CPC) campaigns to achieve good rankings, if other competing sites have more and better content, then why would Web Surfers take their enquiry any further with the limited information provided on your own web site.
In our opinion, Websites, whose main objective, is to mimic advertisements, are more suited to referral business i.e. the visitor already knows about you and is looking for contact details.
