Free Web Site Promotion Secrets

When starting a home based internet business there are many

strategies that one can use that will enable you to use

free web site promotion to drive traffic to your web site.

Like most people chances are that you starting an internet

business because you would like to earn extra money and you

do not have that much money to get going. So you may not

want to pay for advertising.

I am going to look at the basic ways that one should invest

in to create free web site traffic that will help your

business to succeed online.

The very first step is to get your web site listed in the

main directories on the internet. These are like Yahoo and

the Open Directory. The main reason for this is that these

will give you some immediate traffic and also help you to

get good search engine rankings quickly. The way that

Google works these days is that they usually put new

websites into a sandbox and it can take anywhere from four

months to a year to get released from that. The main reason

that they have done this is to prevent people from spamming

their search index. By getting listed in these directories

Google will trust your website quickly as links from these

websites are seen as high quality links. So they will

contribute to getting your website released from the

sandbox earlier.

You need to gain reciprocal links from other websites that

are not competing with you in your niche. Do not overdo it,

but roughly about thirty links will help to boost your

rankings substantially.

Post regularly on forums related to your niche. Do not

blatantly advertise as this will make you lose your

reputation. Answer people's forum posts so that you build

credibility and leave your signature with a link to your

website.

Finally, my favourite method of traffic generation is

article marketing. You do this by writing articles related

to your topic and submitting them to the major article

directories.
