As a freelance Spanish translator, one of the tools that you can use to build your business is having your own Spanish translation website. However, just having built your site doesn't automatically mean that people will come visit it and want your services. So aside from building your site, you need to take the next step and begin promoting your Spanish translation website. At first, this can seem like a difficult task, especially if you're new to the Internet. These days, however, there are tons of articles, tips, forums and other discussions dedicated to helping people promote their websites. This article will discuss some of the ways that translators can promote their translation sites. One of the first things to do after getting your site online is to make sure that the major search engines know about it. In order to make this happen, you have to go their sites (google.com, msn.com, and yahoo.com) and submit your site through their forms. It's a relatively easy and painless process. Another way you can promote your Spanish translation website is to exchange links with other translators' websites. One of the things search engines use to judge websites is the quality of links on a website. By exchanging links with other good quality websites of other translators, you will increase your own ranking in the search engines. The best way I've found to exchange links is to simply email the webmaster of the website you want to exchange links with and simply ask them. If your site is a quality site with quality information, most people would be willing to link to it. Yet another way that you can promote your Spanish translation website is write articles. This is one of my favorite ways to promote my Spanish translation website. Writing articles about translation topics, or any other topic that will be interesting to your website visitors will help you get more visitors to your site. At the end of each article, as you will notice with this one, you can put a blurb about who you are and what your website is all about. This will give you a another link to your website and will help establish you as an expert in your field. There are many different websites that will accept your articles for free, and two of my favorite ones are EzineArticles.com and Goarticles.com. By taking these few steps, you will be on your way to promoting your Spanish translation site and increasing the number of visitors coming to your website looking for your service. |
