How can i promote my website?
i admitted that my website is not done properly, any advice on making it good?
i want to add up flash application and background music but do not know how to do it. Any ideas that does not involve $$$?
Thanks I checked out your site and you do indeed need to do a better job of designing the site. Flash and background music are not important unless it is vital to your content.
One of the things you need to correct fast are your metatags. Right now your title tag is this monstrosity
<title>M1 International - 聽聽"... 22 million tourists visited Malaysia in 2007..... 19 million are from Singapore.."聽-Utusan Malaysia-聽Feb 13, 2008聽聽"........250,000聽people聽enter Malaysia聽via the causeway DAILY聽............ HALF are foreigners..."聽-The Stairts Times-聽Jan 23, 2008聽聽"Some 350,000聽Malaysian are currently working abroad, of whom 240,000 are in Singapore....."聽Datul Abdul Rahman Bakar聽Deputy Human Resource Minister聽-Bernama-聽Jan 17, 2008聽聽聽 聽聽聽聽</title>
Your title tag must reflect the MAIN TOPIC of the site -- using the keywords you want to rank well in the search engines. It's a waste of space to put in the newspaper quotes in your title tag. Replace it ASAP and then put a shorter title (Google shows only 65 characters including spaces) that is KEYWORD RICH
Without dollars, here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:
1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.
2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.
If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/201...
4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.
Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=...
