How Do I Market My Site for Free?

I would like to advertise or market my site to get some more visitors to my site. I already arranged some exciting offers to the visitors. But the visit of new visitors to the site is very low.

How do I increase the rate of new visitors to the site without investing a lot?

This thread could be helpful to other webmasters also.

So please share your experiences with us.

Thanks.

 

which niche/site are we talking about?

 

Iam not talking about any sites. I would like to know about the secret tips that can be applied for your site's marketing.


Now Iam looking for the marketing of the site: http://webmasters-forums.com

 

From my point of view webmaster forums market is overcrowded, so I wouldn't start my business in this field.

As your site is working already, let's hope that you'll have enough energy and time to beat your competitors or find niche in this field.

I think that for increasing your site popularity, you can exchange links with related sites. You can exchange them with your competitors, but you can also exchange them with such sites, as webmaster articles, templates, etc. who are not direct competitors, but they can be related.

Also you can try building website with articles or resources near your website or create some blog that publishes best/most valuable posts in your forum.

Participation in webmaster related forums can help you to achieve more visitors.

I hope this helps.

 

Very nice tips...

Thanks. Looking forward to get more reply with tips.

 

Can you write a short report related to the contents of your site?

If you can, then you may just write a report about 15 to 20 pages, create a squeeze page and on a subdomain or a folder on your site, submit it to all traffic exchange program.

When people opted-in to get the free report, you send them to your main site that you currently promoting it, this can help you to get subscribers and traffics or you can even make money from the squeeze page.

submit to:

ts25.com
trafficg.com
trafficpods.com
ilovehits.com
webcentresurf.com
and more...

Secondly, write about 10 parts of articles include a resource box on each of your article submission link back to your main site and submit it to article directories like:

ezinearticles.com
goarticles.com
searchwarp.com
articlecity.com
usfreeads.com
and more...

third - bookmark you site to all major social bookmarking sites

like stumbleupon.com , del.icio.us , digg.com , listible.com , netscape.com
and more...

Basically, this is just some of it...

or you may even consider to print a banner style with your web address to your car window or bumper.

Do you saying about: http://webmasters-forums.com ?

It is working completely alright. No problem till now.

Please mention about the problems with you. Please reply.

 

the link in your sig is wrong mate

 

I looked at your forum and liked it enough that I am going to sign-up and participate, but I did notice that it is only a PR2 and it looks like the domain is about 6 years old. You may want to try and get some more inbound links. One easy way to do this is to submit to free directories. Another way is to use low cost donations on high PR sites/pages to build quality links. I just put up a small post about some good resources on my SEO blog - see signature for link.

Good luck!

If you really want to get gritty and make yours a success, you have to figure out why people would want to visit that site instead of here for example.

Your site looks as if most of the forums have the same exact title as the ones on Digitalpoint. You have to make your site unique from others. How to do that? Only you know.

 

you must build backlinks as much as you can do.

starting with free directories can be a good start point. forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=315153 is a great list of free directories.

and in my opinion, there is a general marketing rule. you will get what you pay
