Hi,
This resourse for learning to promote web sites is a very good one. I have
read through all the newsletter archives and features on the site and
think it is great. I have also subscribed to the newsletter.

The site is extremely accessible with any web browser and written by
someone who knows what he's talking about.

Welcome to Issue 01 of the Pr2 Website Promotion Newsletter.

Before we get down to business, so to speak, I'd like to explain a few
things about the course and the site.

This course will be very much oriented towards promotional solutions that
are free or inexpensive. If you are running a personal or small business
site, you won't have a lot of money to spend on promotion. At the same time,
I am not going to be shy about introducing great promotional ideas or
methods that cost money, and it will be up to you to decide whether you can
afford the suggestion and whether the payback seems worth it.

I wanted also to outline some of the things we'll be looking at later on in
the course. We'll be studying different ways to market your site, how to get
listed with various search engines and directories, how to make use of META
tags to improve your site's presentation to the world, tricks and tips that
experts use to increase their visits and lots, lots more!

I would urge you to return frequently to the Pr2 site at
[11]http://www.pr2.com as it will be updated with features and articles, and
once we get going I expect to have some rather tasty guest tutorials to
offer you as well.

Now that we've just about finished the introduction, it is time to roll up
our virtual sleeves. Oh, wait a minute! I was almost forgetting... I have to
introduce Bob! Bob is the cute green lizard that pops up from time to time
around the Pr2 site. He's called Bob because he gives helpful hints from
time to time. Bob is playful and sometimes has a twisted sense of humour; he
is also tricky and will often suggest promotional methods that might make me
blush! Ok, Bob, you can put down that stick...

Before we can get down to promoting your site in earnest -- and believe me,
once we get going we will REALLY get going -- it is important to check that
it is as ready as it can be. You'll see that a lot of places we'll be
promoting sites will only give you one chance, so we had better get it right
the first time!

Incidentally, if you don't even have a website yet, fear not! Just pop over
to the Features section on Pr2 and you'll find a short article about getting
yourself a virtual home on the Web... with several different suggestions
ranging from places that will host your site for free to those that will set
you back a modest sum.

I'm afraid that this brings this inaugural issue of Pr2 to a close. Next
time -- hopefully as soon as next week -- we'll be looking in detail at some
of the major things you need to do to make sure your site is at its best.

Before we go, I have a small appeal to make: If you find this course useful,
please tell 2 or more friends or colleagues... you can forward them a copy
of this newsletter (as long as it remains intact) or point them towards the
site. The more subscribers, the merrier the party will be.

Until next time...

Edwin Hayward
