    One way to get the word out is to search for Blogs relating to you're website.
    I did this and my "link poularity" - You can check say on www.widexl.com went from 14 links on the web , to over 1400.. Now I'm not saying thats brilliant of whether thats what to expect.. But its one way of getting people to your site by posting relevant *intelligent* comments.

    You could also try the age old method of posting to newsgroups.. again without spamming but by something someone may comment on , and then click on your link out of interest...

    Best of Luck!

    Hi

    you can add comment in some blogs and add your website link in bottom of your comment

    similarly, some websites ask for feedback and you can add feedback along witha signature of your website

    I hope this helps

    Cheers

    At first you have to use google PPC if you have a commercial product. I remember a college professor who always said "advertise until it hurts". Then you have to have a game plan, short term and long term. You have to learn about the SEO. Do's and dont's. (is that a word?)

    Long term, you write articles and put them in article directories. You put our PR's. (5 or 6 free PR services) You post a lot on message boards like this with your website linked to your signature. (and make a goal to post x amount of times per day) You create a "blog" or newsletter and have it syndicated. If it's well read, you're in like flynn. You get your site in the directories. Short term, you use pay per click on google.

    "Getting the word out" is a mouthful ...... and a tall task even for PR firms let alone doing it yoruself. If you have a great product or service however people will find you. And whatever you do, don't buy traffic ...that's a scam utilizing porno sites 9 out of 10 times.

    Good luck. Mike
