How should I promote my local service site?

[ayetti]

I am in the process of promoting my local service site at http://winecountrycarpet.com and I was wondering what you guys would recommend? i have submitted to a lot of directories and get any backlink I can.  I have also started writing articles and submitting them to sooper articles and Ezine articles, but I feel like I am doing something wrong.  I am open to any suggestions.

Hi,

how many visit do you have? is the bounce rate high?

First impression about your website - it's boring form marketing and human point of view. But frankly speaking when i did quick research in the Polish internet it looks almost the same.

Maybe first thing to do is to differentiate from competition. On that site my graphics designer used dog's muzzle to "good nose" for real estate searching - it's real estate agent  site Now many people don't remember the name of this agency but everybody remembers  them  as "that one with dog"  http://www.salvanto.pl/

Maybe it is not about SEo but the world does not begin and end with the SEO Be different from others on the market
