Exotic food distribution

[cleanpalate]

I run an online exotic meat and poultry business called 2muchfood.com and am wondering if anybody has ideas as to how to get my name out in the industry. My products are very unique and pricing very competetive, but I am trying to get my site to show up more consistanly when people search for said items. If anyone has any ideas please push me in the right direction. Thank you for any ideas.

There is a way to buy google search terms for advertising. If you have a budget for such things, I can ask our IT folks for you how it's done. Or perhaps someone else here knows.

I would love any help your IT staff might have. There are so many tricks it seems today that any help goes a long way.

If your site has a place for meta tags you can use those. They are just a bunch of words that describe your site or what someone might be searching for. You can list your site on Google for free I think but I forgot how to do it. Another good way is to checkout a webring. Thats a bunch of sites with like interest that supply links to others sites with the same interest.

Do you suggest doing a search though google for instance to find such a ring?

Thanks for your help. I've looked around a bit and am having little luck, but am determined to find something that will work.

I can give you some pointers but would need to know a little bit about the business. If there is info you don't want made public we can take it offline if necessary.

Who manages the site at the moment? (not a specific name, but whether you do it in-house or outsource it)

Do you have a budget for marketing?

Do you ship out of San Diego or is that just the primary business location?

Is the website the only online medium that you currently use for sales?

Who is the target customer? (i.e. is this Business-2-Business like selling primarily to restaraunts, etc or Direct to consumer)
