Hello William-?

I have carefully considered and researched your question and have your answer.

First, I have first-hand experience in marketing web sites to the
general public and to businesses. My strategy to provide you with the
most comprehensive answer possible was first to search a research
database of studies of the topic, white papers, research, and
articles. Second, I conducted some Google searches of the subject.
Next, I checked out a couple books on web marketing. All in all, I
spent most of one night and the better part of a day working on this
project for you. (And I must say I learned quite a bit!)

To start out, I searched my favorite research databases online. It?s
the EBSCO Host Research Databases. The link is http://www.epnet.com/

I searched mainly the business and consumer white paper, study, and
research databases on this site for your topic. These were the
categories I believed would provide the best results. The main
keywords I searched for were the following: website AND how to market
and jobs website AND how to market. I will post a lot of sources for
you below. The Google Answers Terms & Conditions prohibit me from
posting copyrighted material on this site, so I will provide you with
a link where you may access most of the material directly. The link is
http://www.consumerwars.com/websitemarketing.htm

The information on this link will only be available for seven days, so
I encourage you to access it as soon as possible. Also, let me know if
you have any problems with the page. There is more than 200 pages of
research at this link waiting for you.

Below are some of the sourcing data of the articles you will find on
the above link. I chose only the articles and papers that had the most
direct reference to your needs.
