Attention Please!
Thousands joined the Internet Gold Rush with the "build it and they will come" attitude. After a few months however, reality kicks in. The counter reads 112 and the bustling web city that was to be has become nothing more than a poster page lost in cyberspace. Is this your story? Well, at one time it was mine. I've been there before, and I know that... the silence is DEAFENING!
1) Trade links If your website is a world onto itself, your chances of success are minimal. Find sites like yours and send a polite link trade request. Sites that are not similar to yours may send you tons of visits, but those visits are unlikely to be productive. Be prepared to provide your traffic statistics, and of course, be prepared for rejection. A great place to find high-traffic sites to trade links is http://www.hitbox.com 2) Post to Message Boards Find about 3-5 message boards to visit and post to regularly. The best ones are those that allow you to post your link and web site images. I've been surprised when I analyze my server logs and find a great deal of visits from these boards. Also, the networking effect is invaluable. Word of advice: don't post blatant promotions. Try http://www.loska.com, http://www.williecrawford.com, and http://www.goldvisions.com 3) Publish I've said it before, and I'll say again: pixel-per-pixel, publishing is by far the most cost-effective promotion avenue out there. Make a list of editor's email addresses who accept guest articles and publish at least once a month. A free, easy way to 1000s of visits a month, and a great way to gain notoriety. 4) Button Exchanges
5) Give Away an Award
6) Contests Give away something of value in return for a link or a subscription. A free promotion giveaway to 1500 sites has earned me dozens of links on front pages across the net and also keeps my subscription list growing. Only one thing is certain about succeeding on the net: it takes time. These tips will help, but a good deal of patience and hard work are required. Now go out there swinging and make some noise. Get noticed on the net!

The Internet Brothers have implemented hierarchical menus for navigation. Easier done than said. In our effort to be friendly to all browsers, the menu tree is functional with version 4 or greater of both the Netscape and Internet Explorer products. Hovering over the button will open the menu for these browsers. But if you have an older product, don't fret, we'll send you to the sitemap. Just click the button.
Why haven't you downloaded the newer versions?
They're free you know. The hierarchical menus were created using Peter Belesis' © Dynomat DHTML scripting tool from Webreference. Give them a visit, you'll like what you learn.

You get the best effort from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within.
Unless you walk out into the unlnown, the odds of making a profound difference in your life are pretty low.

In the good ol' days, men with zeal could
move mountains with their rhetoric. "Friends, Romans, countrymen ... check out
my website!" Too bad getting attention on the net isn't that easy. On the net,
webmasters of great talent can go for months before achieving any degree of success.
But there is hope, and plenty of it. Here are some high yield tips for getting
noticed on the net. By the way, if you are one of the lucky ones who get Yahoo'ed
five thousand times a day, this article isn't for you. You have my eternal respect
and envy. For the rest of us, here goes:
