Step 1. Website Traffic Promotion
The purpose: to get your site indexed if it isn’t already and get some links back to your site. Creating these links will let the search engines know your site is there as well as get you some direct traffic.
Website Traffic Promotion
There are a few parts to this step ~ the more you do the better off you’ll be, so let’s get started.
1. Tweet your site ~ if you have a twitter account make sure you tweet your new site ~ if it’s something that your twitter readers are going to be interested in.
2. Clip your site ~ Clipmarks is what I use, but there are a few sites like this. Clipmarks lets you grab a paragraph from your site (or any other site) and add it to your clipmarks site. It’s kind of like a bookmark of the content of your site instead of just the url.
3. Stumble your homepage ~ Make sure you have a few posts on your site before you do this.
4. Add your site to Zimbio ~ Zimbio is a great site to use for this process. It’s easy to do and your submission may rank in the search engine on its own. I have had this happen pretty often.
5. Submit your site RSS feed ~ I have found RSS submission to be a very effective way to get traffic to my site. It also helps you build backlinks to your site, which is always good. Each time you post to the site you will have another link from each RSS aggregator or directory you have submitted to. This is a good thing to do when you first start your site so you can take advantage of the new links for each post.
6. Free ad blogs ~ Free ad blogs are becoming more popular as well. They are an easy way to create good anchor text links back to your site. All you do is go to these sites and sign up. They are generally done on a wordpress platform, so you basically make a blog post. In this blog post make sure you link back to your site using your keywords as the anchor text.
Here are a few free ad blogs to get your started:
That’s it for the website traffic promotion step. It’s time to move on to step 2 building links now ~ this is what we will be doing the rest of the time in one way or another.
