How To Promote A Website

I made the classic mistake when making my first website, I assumed that as soon as I finished it and submitted it to the search engines I would start to make money. I’m not the only one who made that mistake, so what I want to do is talk you through promoting your first website so you don’t run into the same delays that I did.

When releasing your first website you want to get people viewing it straight away so hey can start talking about it and spreading the word. If you don’t know where to begin then I assure you that you will find this article informative and very helpful.

If this is your first website then you will have a lot to learn, I strongly suggest doing research on search engine optimization as soon as possible, but for now I will cover the vital topic of how to get your first visitors.

For the sake of it you might want to submit your website to the search engines as the sooner your website is found by google the better. You don’t have to submit it to the search engines as long as you start building links as google will find your website from crawling other sites.

Once you have completed the design and uploaded your main webpage’s you now want to get your first visitor, this can be done by submitting your website to social bookmark site where other internet users will see your website and take a look. Social bookmarking sites are designed for people to share webpage’s around the internet with one another and have them rated. By submitting your website to sites like dig.com and reddit.com you will have your first visitors in no time.

Eventually you will want to add a blog to your website so every time you write a new post it will be a good idea to submit it to the social bookmarking sites to gain instant exposure.

I suggest writing a couple of press releases about your new website and what you want to offer. There are allot of free press release sites that have a good reputation with google and have the ability to get your press released viewed by thousands of people. Theres a good press release site called free-press-release.com which offers free and paid press releases.

Another great way to gain instant traffic is by posting on forums, you can start a new thread and mention your product and website, you will want to try and find forums that are related to your website so the visitors will click your link and following it trough to your website.

Also at some point consider submitting your website to website directories and article directories.

There’s so many article floating around the internet on how to build up traffic and increase sales, make sure you do your research and read a few articles on each subject to get a good idea of what to do.

Its important to write fresh content for your website daily if you want the likes of google to visit your website on a regular basis. Google tends to favor websites that post good quality content regularly, blogging is a good and effective way to write new articles and easily publish them on your website. One thing that is commonly known about blogging is its potential to attract hundreds of visitors which can either help increase sales or gain more exposure.

People tend to think that once they have published there article they dont need to do anything else. Well posting the article is just the start, even if you have optimized your article you may receive traffic for the odd keyword but for your article to become successful and seen as an authority site you need to get your articles ranked highly in google.

I'm sure your already familiar with link building and have probably spent some time promoting your main site, when you link build its best to build links to a variety of pages evenly rather than just your homepage as google will class that as un-natural link building. By promoting your blog posts you will be building links in a more natural way and will benefit your website in the long run i.e pagerank. If you want a website with high pagerank on all your pages then the one thing you will need to definitely do is link build to all your pages from good quality websites.

When I have finished writing a new article I have a set procedure for promoting that page which I have developed over time. When people think about link building they tend to think its a big task and will take along time so they either buy poor quality software or get any type of link they can get there hands on. Link building can be made easy from experience and other peoples experiences, there are some methods to link building which can be accomplished quickly and easily but there are other methods which require abit of you time.

The easiest way to promote an article is to submit it to the social bookmark sites as they produce instant links and targeted traffic for a short period of time. If you use a wordpress blog then there are alot of widgets which you can use that will add a link to submit your posts to the social bookmarking sites at the bottom of each page. There are hundreds of social bookmarking sites and there probably the most easiest sites to gain links from so this should be your first port of call when link building.

I would then start writing variations of the article or brief examples of it to submit to free article marketing sites with several links pointing back to my article. There is a unique network with over 12,000 website owners looking for good unique content everyday so article marketing has been made a hell of allot easier. With this network you are able to build good quality inbound links without doing any-work, I have noticed an increase in traffic and links since I have been using the service. The good thing about this network is if you don't like it within the first 30 days you can cancel your membership and get a full refund with no questions asked.
