Promoting your website.
Promoting your website.
(OP)
I've noticed that several of the participants of this site always include their website address in their signature. Does this help with the promotion of the site?
I've had my local chamber of commerce link to the site. I've read somewhere that the more sites that link to your site, places you higher in the search engine queue.
Any other helpful tips?

RE: Promoting your website.
I sure hope it does. Through tracking, my number one referrer is Eng-Tips.com. Plus, I just clicked your site simply because of what you wrote and the link was in your signature. I say every little bit helps.
Yes, your website is ranked by number of referring sites among other various metrics. I too am trying to grow my marketing ability as many other engineers on this site. However, I truly only consider my site a "getting to know you" release, while actual work is done through reference and proposals.

RE: Promoting your website.
The first four years I had my website up and running, I got a lot of hits (several hundred per day), but so far this year I've gotten three new clients from people finding me at eng-tips.com. Billing in 2008 that I can directly attribute to people who found me here is in excess of $100k. Right now I'm in a hotel in downtown Brisbane because a guy liked my response in a thread in eng-tips.com, followed the link and downloaded all of the samples documents and found them useful, then printed my CV and forwarded it to his boss. The rest is rapidly becoming history.

If you link, willy nilly, then the search engines might put you at a lower ranking. There are rules to certain search engines and it's bad to violate them. Join a webmaster forum to keep up to date.
Oh, in the link to your site, it can be better if there is hot-text linked to your http:\\ that describes your keywords, like "Hydro Testing"; if that happens to be your specialty.
