Many ideas for website marketing strategies are free. Some of them are sitting right under your nose and you might not have realised it. Others will involve using the wonderful, diverse and free products which are readily available on the web. Keep your credit card in your pocket. you won't need it yet. Here are five freebies to convince you that you don't need to part with any cash for your website marketing strategies.

1) Put your website's URL on all stationery and packaging

Once you've determined what your URL is going to be get it 'out there'. It should be prominent on all your business items. It's easier to remember a well-chosen URL that it is to remember a long phone number. Once they've found your website they can find out everything they need to know about you. So make the most of your URL - it's a best, free marketing tool you've got as it opens the door to everything you do.

2) Include your URL in your email signature

Every time you send an email - whether to friend, family, colleague or people making business enquiries, include your website URL. It's always about getting the next click when you're working online. They click on the link in your email to check out your site. They like your site so they click around. They find an article that really interests them, so click on the Google ad. You make a sale and take a commission. Now that's great, free website marketing!

3) Submit your website to the top search engines for free

You don't have to pay a penny to submit to the search engines. Don't pay for this service, just submit your website to the 'big four':

- Google
- Yahoo!
- Ask.com
- Live Search

It's a bit like the lottery. If you don't have a ticket, you can't win. The same applies with search engines. If you're not listed, your customers can't find you.

4) Tell a friend

Don't ignore what's right under your nose. Network marketers are great at this offline technique. They have calling cards stuffed in their pockets, they wear badges inviting you to chat, they put bumper stickers in their car window. As far as website marketing strategies go, this is one for later on on in the day, but it's still free and it's absolutely essential. Tell a friend - word of mouth costs nothing.

5) Swap links

You must have good quality, incoming links for your website for search engine success. It brings you targeted traffic and the search engines love it. You mustn't link to any old website, nor should you get involved with 'link farms' where you can obtain poor quality, low yield links. Swap links with quality sites which are related to your own.

It's free and highly effective and one of the website marketing strategies which every webmaster must do at some stage.
