As the Web matures, many unique electronic services are springing up. One of these areas has to do with promotion. Some companies do nothing but promote new web sites, much in the same way that an advertising agency would promote any other new product. The list seems to be growing every day. There are other less expensive services, but, like so much in the marketplace, you generally get what you pay for.
Quality is important.
All the user has to do is fill out a single form, supplying details about their site, and a computer script begins sending the information out. Much of the software to do this is freely available for download, or the service is provided online. Although this may seem like a real bargain, there are some practical drawbacks. The only way to be sure is to follow up by manually going to each of the index pages and looking for your site. This can be very time consuming, but it is really the only sure method you have to make certain the promotion was successful.
