How to Effectively Promote Your Website
1. Take advantage of the search engines. Submit your site to
search engines. There are those that offer services free of
charge. You can submit to Google, Yahoo, Altavista, Infoseek,
Lycos and other trusted search engines. You can submit with an
interval of 3 to four months. Try a redirection, if you cannot
submit the real URL.
2. Do some reciprocal linking. This is one of the best ways to
lead viewers towards your website. In this method, you exchange
link with other websites. That way no site is disadvantaged. To
find sites, you can again use the search engines.
3. Exchange banners. This is also one of the most productive
ways to promote your website. However, they do not bring much
traffic. Choose wisely when deciding banner ratios. Some sites
are also offering paid banner submission. Decide on the matter
cleverly. Select the ones with good traffic to influence your
traffic as well.
4. Write articles and press releases. People wants to read news
and tips more than reading ads. Moreover, a good number of
articles and news releases with your website as footer is a
promotional tool. Submit them to high-ranking sites in order to
market your site.
5. Use meta tags. Always use the same on your site especially on
the index page. The essence is that when search engines add up
your homepage to their database, what they will look for is a
special tag with keywords and description of the page. Give your
title, description and keywords to make it easier for the search
engines to locate you.
6. Patronize online classifieds. Millions of online ads programs
are available in the net. Choose a category where your site
belongs and add your site. Resubmit every 2 months to update
them.
7. Make signatures. Use signatures which are linked to your
websites. You can use these signatures when posting a reply in
forums, chat rooms and guest books.
8. Maximize webrings. This is also a productive way of
promoting. All you have to do is to find and join webrings which
are similar to the topics in your site. They will bring in slow
but stable traffic.
9. Do some promos. Promotions like discounts can be a tempting
strategy that can boost both your traffic as well as sales.
Promote your site and be productive like you never been before.
