Promoting your web site can be a tedious task, here
are five methods I use on a regular basis to get
targeted traffic to my web site.
1. Holding a contest or sweepstakes is an proven way
to promote your web site. You can announce your site
to hundreds of web sites that list free contests and
sweepstakes. Send out a press release about your
contest or sweepstakes. Ask entrants to your contest
or sweepstakes if they would accept offers from your
business in the future by e-mail.
2. Use online chat rooms to promote your web site.
Find the right chat room where your targeted audience
would gather. Announce to everyone in the chat room
something interesting or free that's offered on your
web site. This will draw visitors to your web site.
Always be aware of chat room rules before engaging
the visitors in a sales pitch that could be considered
spam.
3. Cross promote your web site with other sites. I try
to find other web sites that have the same target
audience, but are not in direct competition with my
business. Doing cross promotions with other businesses
increases your profits, sales, and beat your competition.
You can find businesses to cross promote all over the
Internet.
4. You can easily promote your web site by using traffic
generators. It could be a free e-zine, service, e-book,
contest etc. Giving away traffic generators gives you the
opportunity to get free advertising by including your ad
on them. There are online directories that will also let
you submit your freebie information. You can even let
other people give away your traffic generators.
5. Posting messages to e-mail discussion lists is a great
way to promote your web site An e-mail discussion list
is a group of people connected together via e-mail that
can communicate with one another. When you post a
message to a list include your signature file at the end.
Include an attention getting sentence why they should
visit your web site.
These five methods of promoting when combined all
together will greatly increase targeted traffic to
your web site. Not only will they increase traffic but
sales as well.
