So now we have a site online that looks in a reasonable state with some decent starting point content, it's time to start promoting it. The first point is making sure it is in the index by the search engines and if its not submitting it to them
Google: Check, 16 pages
Yahoo: Check, 1 page
Dogpile: Check, 1 page
Live Search: Nope, Submitted it here.
Excite: Check, 1 page

And some of the social sites:
del.icio.us - added
Stumble Upon - added


The next step (and this will take about a month) is to chase link exchanges. As good starting point we want 75 inbound links from other sites round the net. At this point these are just general links with the word lighting somewhere in the link, linking to the main page. When you are looking for them here are some good guidelines:
1. Make sure the sites are related to yours
2. Make sure the anchor text includes on of you keywords
3. Deep Links - if the links are specific to a topic link it to the right page on your site.
4. Domain And Page Authority - Higher the pagerank the better.
5. Make sure the links do not contain the NoFollow command.
6. Having the surrounding text on topic is said to help.
7. Link Position - the closer to the top left the better.
8. The smaller the number Of outbound links the better.
9. Link Age - The longer the link has been around the better
10. The longer the domain has been around the better
11. If the link is one way rather than reciprocal it's better.
12. Page Content - Have a judge of the page you are trying to get a link on. Is it a link farm or is it good content?
13. Frequently updated pages are better
