    I actually work with someone which has SEO expertise. It somehow helped in improving traffic with my website. I am still searching for more ways, though and marketingforthepeople.com offers a lot of ideas. Ofcourse, I still have to learn them one by one, but its a great heads up. :)

    I use a blog, article submission, Facebook, and twitter to promote a website.
    It doesn't matter how many posts or articles you have as long as you do it consistently.
    In addition to that, the content has to be compelling and remarkable for others to click on your link.
    You just have to learn to manage your time for these methods.

    For me, Social media such as Facebook and twitter works for me.
    SEO is the more common though which I used when I just started. :)

    I use simple things, in fact it is limited to:
    - forum signatures, and then enjoying posting on forums, but not as a job, more like mindless fun, reading people questions and answering correctly if I know.
    - buy ad space on popular sites. I always buy on sites which are more popular than mine, while being in the same topic. I mainly use buysellads because I'm also a publisher and I can use my funds balance to buy ads, so it's a good deal, no paypal or credit card involved.
    - have affiliate program in place on my sites so that my members have a benefit by promoting my site, it is to recruit new members and earn money/traffic from those new members.

    Driving traffic to a site depends on the nature of the site. You can always use Google and other PPC advertising as other forms of Promotion kick in. You also want to make sure you convert the visitors you do have into prospects or customers with good on site conversion tactics. Using Live chat, and Click to call type services can help that a bunch.

    Hi everyone! Am new to this forum, and am looking forward in sharing my marketing experience or knowledge to who ever that might need it.

    The most affective free marketing method have to be youtube, mainly because it is the second most popular site for online users today, and it's free.
    Video marketing it's now playing a big role in marketing online, and it will even get bigger in the future.

    Facebook faster and easiest way of getting site traffic, Facebook page may not be of make-or-break importance in your social media campaign, but it is certainly a worthwhile strategy to pursue – especially considering that it costs no money and minimal time to do so. Here’s now

    1. [FONT=&quot]Ask friends, family and colleagues[/FONT] to like your page, especially when working to build up fans in the early going.

    2. Have a large [FONT=&quot]“Like Us on Facebook” image[/FONT] on your website’s homepage or a targeted landing page.
    3. [FONT=&quot]Include a link[/FONT] to your Facebook page in electronic signatures and any other form of correspondence.
    4. Make certain portions of your Facebook page visible [FONT=&quot]only to those who Like it[/FONT].
    5. [FONT=&quot]Generate excitement[/FONT] through contests, promotions and giveaways.

    Social networking is one of the best choice. Join forums related to your Web site content, Seo keyword optimization, Create an account at Google webmaster tools, Google analytics (free) and review reports for key word usage, traffic stats, Google will also notify of any errors. Avoid using flash and java, search engine bots can't read, use alt tags for images. Create Rss feed at Feedburner. Submit good quality articles to Article directories. Avoid linking to low PR sites. Submit your site to Yahoo - Site Explorer.

    The best way for instant traffic is start a Pay Per Click campaign on any of the search engines. Google will drive the most traffic by far and the quality of traffic is good if ads are optimized right. You must budget for such a strategy and once you see ROI from PPC increase your budget so you can increase traffic and sales.

    Even better if you link your facebook fan page to your youtube channel for greater traffic.

    Hi,

    If your website is at the basic, you can first have a try with the free services than opting the paid ones at first. Most of the free services helps your website to acquire a better exposure. Its all about that, you have to promote your site in a focused way than posing them in all the ways.

    Finding a reliable way will always thrive you to have a better suite. Initially, you can move ahead with simplest techniques say:

    - Article marketing,
    - Blog posting, commenting
    - Forum discussions and other active participation
    - Social media exposure (gains you a lot than you outlined)
    - bookmarking, directories and so on.

    Besides this, you can move on with the paid ones say Google adsense, adwords campaign. These drives you a better output too.
