Essentially you need to do the following to promote your site 1. Create unique high quality content 2. Build backlinks to your site from other websites you can do this in a variety of ways including; do follow blogging, do follow forum signatures, link exchanges, article submission. Try to focus on sites that are in a similar niche to your own as Google is likely to give you a higher ranking if the links back to your site cover a similar topic to your own site theme. 3. On page optimaisation like making sure you have title tags, description, keywords
Very interesting off site content and host it on sites like NDW who get it on google news who send alerts out to people who request it. Off site seo has worked very well for us and we have had good results with 25% of our traffic comming from referring sites. Secondly if you dont have a blog on your site you should have one.
Yeah the quality of content is one of the most important things. You can drive a lot of traffic but they aren't going to stay long if the content isn't quality/meaningful.
Ive been told content is king with Google Another area we have done is to actually write content for related sites and obviously they give us credit for it when they host it on their site.
There are hundreds of threads in general marketing explaining on how to promote your site. Try reading those threads then use the trial and error system to see which path to take.
Many of you DP'ers that have been here a while will remember when i did THIS .. it got me a lot of traffic from other websites 'buzzing' about it - it was even on Gizmodo and it still generates traffic search an niche traffic because of how i integrated the idea and related content into the site.. Obviously that type of stunt is difficult, but AFTER you have made sure your site is interesting and has unique content, be creative and do something people will remember. or - just sign up for an adwords account and do some advertising *yawnn*
I typically find Web directories related to my Website. Then, I determine which ones have the highest traffic levels, and list in them. In addition to signatures in forums, this has brought me quite a bit of traffic over the years. I'll also engage in link exchanges, if they truly are beneficial.
You can simply read on the the many threads here in DP about "how to market anything" and a good SEO would also help in promoting your site. Thanks JulieV
