What you name your links when posting them someplace is of the utmost importance if you want to sell your music. Unless of course your primary band website get a huge amount of traffic or you are a very popular band.
What you name your link is vital to the amount of downloads you sell. For instance if you are posting in a forum like this one and name your itunes link simply itunes, you need a simple lesson in search engine ranking and results. Do you know how many people have their itunes link named itunes. A lot. I see it firsthand.
Wouldnt it make more sense to name your itune link accordingly to the genre or style of music you are selling. If you name a bunch of itunes links Heavy Hardcore Metal Music Song Downloads, Classic Country Song Downloads For Sale, Thrash Metal Punk Rock Song Downloads, Americana Country Rock Music Downloads etc.. Eventually your itunes page will start ranking higher in the search engines with the keywords you target. It takes time and patience but the payoff is well worth it.
Search engines dont have brains. Its such a simple overlooked concept everyone seems to not see. Name your links with keywords and never pass up an opportunity to add your link someplace. Yeah its gets old and tiresome, but if you want a net presence and sell a lot of your songs it is a must.
I have friends in bands and no one knows they even exist. But they are selling their songs because they put just as much heart and soul into promoting as they do writing, practicing, recording and playing. The internet is a golden opportunity bands didnt have 30 years ago. You either had to be on a record label, get radio play or travel the country selling your music.
You ca do it. Dig Deep. Utilizing this forum to your best interest is a great place to start. You have free reign to promote your music as often as you like. There is only one mod, ME. I am cool with the concept.
