It can be tough to market your dog business when you have a tight marketing budget. I've always relied heavily on word of mouth, but on top of that have worked hard at SEO (search engine optimization) for this website.

SEO can help your dog website rank well on search engines for specific terms that you customers are searching for. The best part of all this is that you don't have to pay someone to do this, it can be completely FREE!

A great place to start is with relevant directory postings. I say relevant because in order to fight spam Google and other major search engines are taking the relevancy of a linking site as a key ranking factor.

In order to get you started I've included a list of dog directories which you can submit to for free, or with a reciprocal link (a link on your site going back to them).

• http://dogdirectory.us
• http://www.dogdirectory.org
• Dog Collars - Store stocking a range of quality dog toys, collars and leads. (and web directory)
