Here are a few more ideas for promoting your website

• Register your site with search engines. You can do this yourself at:
  • Yahoo (http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/)
  • Google (www.google.com/addurl.html)
  
  
• Exchange Links with websites similar to yours.
  • One major way people find new websites is by following links.
  
  
• Enter contests: If you have a good website, you should submit it for an award. Enter as many Best of the Web contests as possible. You can find a large list of places to submit your site on Yahoo. Search on "Best of the Web" for a good list.
  
  
• Hold a poster contest for your web site. There's big pay off in this:
  • You get to announce the contest
  • You get to announce the winners
  • You get a nice poster to use to promote your website

Don't let equipment hinder your efforts
