How did you LAUNCH your website???

Hi,

Im looking to talk to others about their website launches. How did you go about launching your website?

If you used a press release service, who was best?
PRNewswire
Businesswire
PRWeb

After your press release, did you get any coverage?

How are this Big websites like, Youtube,facebook,last.fm, and even V7N, how do this big sites launch?

Of course there is SEO, gaining quality backlinks,press releases and PPC. You can also write quality articles.

I would like to know your website and how you launched it. Also how much money you spent.

Thanks you all who help,

before launching your website, put quality content first...

On the first day of launching, concentrate on forum advertising with your signatures.
On the second day, concentrate on social bookmarking
On the third and so on...articles, link directories.... while you are continuously posting on forums...

 

Unless you've unique site it does not get overnight popularity, SEO/SMO are the routes to go with once you successfully launch your site.

 

Thanks for the advice guys!

 

press releases aren't really that effective unless you have a pretty established website. i'd concentrate on getting the site built up first and having great content and design. once that is covered get some inbound link, and once you start getting some decent SE traffic, do paid advertising on popular sites in your niche and then press releases.

 

Ya. That's really nice. Thanks

 

Another thing you should do is, make sure before your website launches you have an email collection script on your homepage so people who are interested in your site before it launches can be notified by you as soon as you go live.

I used PRWeb when I launched one of my websites. It generated a LOT of backlinks and gave me an almost immediate PR2! I was very impressed. Actually, I'm not sure why I haven't done this more!!

 

I agree, thats well said

 

I tried PRWeb and PRNewsWire but PRWeb is definitely better for the cost.

We got on Yahoo almost everytime we used PRWeb.

Hope that helps.

 

What type of website do you have?

 

I liked skateboarding, and so when I got bored of trying to find information online about the current skateboarding scene and industry, I created my own site, and it's been gaining ground since.
