Article Website
Article sites are a great way to generate many inbound links to your website. Each of the following article sites has its own rules on how to create articles.

Directories to Submit to
You can get free links to your website by using online directories. The following site has a list of hundreds of them - I suggest submitting to 5 a week.

Getting Started with Adwords
Google provide a step by step guide to get your first Pay Per Click advertising campaign off the ground -
http://adwords.google.com - and hit the 'Try Adwords Now' button
Email Autoresponders
There are two email autoresponders that I would recommend at this time -
Aweber - charges a small monthly fee.
Listmailpro - A one off fee but you need to be able to host the software. Follow the websites for hosting recommendations and you can't go far wrong.
Webstats
It is important that you can track what your website visitors do. For this we recommend Google Analytics. Ifs completely free and once you have integrated it into you website (just follow the instructions, you may need a little help from a web professional) you will get some very interesting stats.
Website
If you want a website package that integrates a lot of the above then I would recommend our product (shameless plug), Web Beads - more detail can be found out www.webbeads.co.uk
