Different Strategies to Promote your Website Search Engine Strategy – Search engines send robot "spiders" to index the content on your webpage, it is better to leave them in abundant clues so that they will be curious to what your webpage is about.

Traditional Strategy - print advertising, be sure to include your URL in any display or classified ads you purchase in trade journals, newspapers, yellow pages, etc. E-Mail Strategy – Install a "Signature" in your E-Mail Program so that you can keep in touch with your customers. Don’t spam! Miscellaneous Strategy - Announce a Contest, people like getting something free or gift certificates. Paid Advertising Strategy - Begin an Affiliate Program and purchase Pay Per Click (PPC) ads.
Nothing new but good reminders. One qualification, though. Robots are, well, robots. They aren't curious, they aren't thoughtful, they have a job and that's to crawl the page. The way you've described it can be misleading: the way you make a human reader curious is to give a good story, or interesting content, or lots of varied information. The way you achieve success with SEO and search engine bots is to make your page simple so they can do their job of crawling the page.
The list does not include videos? If you are not video blogging, or posting video articles you are not tapping into everything that you can. The real power is in videos. Get some stuff posted on youtube, daily motion, break, metacafe and several other videos sites and your traffic will take off.
