Best Ways to Promote Your Website for FREE!

So you just built your prize website. You put weeks of work into
making the best site possible. Everything is perfect.

So, you wonder, why is nobody coming to my site. The answer is
simple: You Must Promote!! Promote everyday and then promote
some more.

There are many ways to promote your website that will cost you
nothing. Here are some of the best ways that I have found.

*Link Exchanges

Set up a link exchange page and find sites that are complimentary
to yours. Email the webmaster and explain why you want a link
exchange. Tell them a little about your site and invite them to
take a look. Be selective about which sites you put your link
on. More often than not, the webmaster will exchange links.

You can also get on some link exchange email lists:

LinkTogether-subscribe@egroups.com

LinkTrader-subscribe@egroups.com

*Message Boards

Get involved in message boards. Don’t just post an ad and never
come back. Ask questions, answer questions, and get involved
with the group. Many people have had alot of success with this
method. You can search over 310,000 forums at:

*Publish an Ezine

If you are serious about your business you should definitely
start an ezine. You want to provide quality information as well
as updates and information on your site. This will be one way to
gather emails and keep your potential customers coming back.
There are many sites that will help you get started with an
ezine.

*Search Engines

You should manually submit to the top search engines. You should
also get listed in the minor engines


and any directories you can
find on other sites. Get listed in as many places as you
can(except possibly FFA pages). I prefer not to place my ad on
some of these FFA pages. Here are the top search engines:

Yahoo - http://www.yahoo.com

Alta Vista - http://www.altavista.com/av/content/addurl.htm/

Excite - http://www.excite.com/info/add_url/

Lycos - http://www.lycos.com/addasite.html/

Hotbot - http://www.hotbot.com/addurl.asp/

Infoseek - http://infoseek.go.com/AddUrl?pg=SubmitUrl.html/

Northern Light -
http://www.northernlight.com/docs/regurl_help.html/

WebCrawler - http://www.webcrawler.com/info/add_url/

Do not submit to these too often, you could be banned. Every
three to four weeks is often enough.

*Announcement Lists

There are hundreds of announcement list where you can announce
your website or your ezine or business opportunity. Make sure you
follow the rules for submitting your ads to each list. You can
find
some of these lists at:

http://www.egroups.com
http://www.listbot.com
http://www.globelists.com
http://www.milomail.com

When you have a website or ezine, you have to spend a lot of time
promoting. As you promote, you will learn more about the
different ways you can do this on the internet. You must keep at
it and do not give up when things look bad. It takes time to get
your business established online. Doing these things I have
listed will help you spread the word!
