How to promote a new website ?

1) Social networking websites like reddit. Basicly instant traffic if it proves popular and ranked highly.

2) Adwords for low competative relevent keywords. You could also use facebook as they can be cheaper.

There are lots of way you can do this, but the best way is to get targeted leads, or those who are the most likely to buy.

Also you need to go to the places where your most likely customer is hanging out, i.e. forums and blogs and other communities.

Here are some individual tips.

PPC
articles
JV's
Syndication
Press releases
CPA
blog commenting
SEO
blogging every day
create a product and give away 100% commision
stomp in the sand at the beach all day with thongs (which have your website cleverly carved into them)

There that will get you started.

Press release and backlinks to relevant sites (other backlinks work too). Oh yeah, a whole lot of patience.

For a brand new website i would recommend directory submission. Choose the biggest or most popular one. For example; yahoo directory.

The primary thing that will draw people to your website is quality unique content. This content can be placed in several locations to draw people back to your website. Two excellent techniques are:

Article marketing including a resource box with your URL, contextual link and a reason to visit your site like a free report. Submit these articles to article directories and also include on your own blog.

Commenting on blogs and forums- Find a blog or forum in your own niche with high traffic and make a quality post (also use the same resource box technique as described above for articles) To be more effective initially post without a resource box but then later include this resource box in your posts. Always check the rules regarding posting to that blog or forum.

try to build backlinks. You can begin with requesting backlinks from the sites owned by your friends or relatives. It will also be good to write some guest posts in blogs related to your site to get backlinks as well as traffic. Google "My Blog guest" - first site is good for guest blogging .

HI
think the first reply that you got is good enough answer for your post.

Check the competition in google, if its not too big you could pay for some quality backlinks wich would help you rank in the organic searches...

I promote my websites through as much classic forms of advertising as I can within my budget and using social media, mostly forums. No, I don't spam forums or anything like that but I can find forums where people talk about something in which my business is related. I bring if it up briefly, answer questions, and then see what I can do about actually advertising on that website. I often stay a member and talk about stuff completely unrelated. One of my favorite forums is an Arizona Honda Car forum and I haven't owned a Honda in probably 6 years.

Below mentioned points can be followed while optimizing a new website :

Keyword Research - Target the keywords related to the niche of the website.

Site Categories - Use appropriate categories for the website pages

Website directory structure - Target specific keywords for pages on directory structure.

File names: The File names need to be inclined towards the targeted keywords.

Titles, Metatags - Meta Description, Meta Keywords tags: Put these tags on your webpage so that the crawlers can easily understand about your website.

Sitemaps: There are two types of Sitemaps that should be used for any new website. These are Sitemap.html within a website and the other one is Google Sitemap as Sitemap.xml in

xml format. The xml based sitemap can be generated using any of the available online sitemap generating tool. Sitemap.html page will have only links with all the inner pages of

a website.

Body Content - Positioning Body Content on a web page: Here, it is better to understand a little bit about how a search engine spider sees a web page while scanning it. Search

engines read pages like we do, from top to bottom. It also assumes that the content near the top of the page is more important than the content at the bottom of the page.

While Coding Web Pages: While coding WebPages for a website, calling external CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) can be used to minimize the amount of code on WebPages and is

beneficial website optimization process.

Back Links: Last but not the least! this is one of the most important factors that many of the Search Engines consider to weigh a website.

There are so many companies which are doing work for promote any Simply hire a SEO company which will promote your web site using SEO tools...

There are lots of ways to get traffic, and I cover a bunch of them in my latest WSO (see my sig for details), but if I had to pick two specific methods to answer your questions, they would be:

Whenever you launch a new site you should do a press release with a link to your site. This gets your site noticed by by people who can help spread the word. Just make sure you write the release to be informative and not a sales pitch.

$40 won't buy you a lot, so you need to drill down and make sure your advertising is super targeted. Facebook advertising aimed at people who fit your target market profile would probably be better value for money than AdWords IMHO.

The thing is, it's best to have several ways of getting traffic, and use them all.

In my 5 years plus as a internet marketer I have found that nothing beats guest posting in value. It will shoot you up though the serps and give you targeted traffic at the same time.

SEO: The Free Beginner?s Guide From SEOmoz

I would start with making sure your site is totally SEO optimized and that you are adding new content every few days. Then I would go with press releases first. These tend to get syndicated and will up your backlinks in a natural way. This is always a good way to get google to notice you without penalizing you.

I would start with
- Article marketing
- Guest Blogging
- Press release distribution (for traffic)

1) As always, it depends on the niche/purpose. One way I like to use is putting a signature link in a forum profile and then contributing on popular forum websites around that niche. If you have a budget, doing small media buys would work well. Look for good deals on websites like BuySellAds.com.

2) Again, depends on niche. For some affiliate websites, Facebook can be decent but it really depends on the niche. Plenty of Fish is good for dating websites. 7search is a decent Adwords alternative that are more lenient than Google for affiliate offers.

1. If you are asking for one way to stick to then I advice you to test different ones and see which one is working for you. Forums, blogs, social media, article marketing and video marketing all are proved to be very effective. Let's say that article submission gives you the major part of traffic then you should sign up to more article directories and learn how to write effective articles or even hire someone to write them for you. I do not advice you to run one type of marketing unless you know this exact type is the best.

2. For a low budget Facebook PPC is good but you need to read more about it before proceeding to pay a penny. Any PPC marketing campaign can be very successful and can waste all your money so make sure you are ready and specific first.

John,

Some great information in this thread..

I will make this short and sweet (well maybe) LOL

First I “personally” wouldn’t spend any money on paid advertising right for the bat..

Next, I agree with a few of the other posters. (Forums, blogs, social media (FB)) should be your starting line..

I want to add a nice little TIP to that mix. If your in a niche with a lot of “happenings” going on..

My added ingredient is “Google Alerts” AWESOME for finding blogs and forums.. The moment someone posts a blog post or “news” happens in your niche you get an alert via text or you can feed it into Google’s reader.

If you’re the 1st or the top few to post a “helpful and constructive” comment with your link back to your site it will serve 2 purposes. !. You get a good backlink from a relevant blog and 2. You might get an opportunity for a lead or sale.

My take I wouldn’t spend any money till you have about 100 or so people go through your sales funnel.. J

Hope this helps and makes sense.

Eddie


Just and FYI on guest blogging.. Is when you write and article for someone else’s blog with a few links within the article that will point back to your site..

Hi,
I have a blog site on pictures and wallpapers, I am trying to improve my site visitor and page rank. I am having a lot of trouble on improving page rank , its still 0. How can I improve page rank?

I have seen forums, blog commenting and social networks do lots of wonders for my own blogs. First and foremost would be to build good relationships in those 3 areas and more often than not, people there will visit your site. I was surprised to see visitors from countries I was not expecting to have reached.

To promoting new website you can take help from any seo services provider agency and i think adwards and facebook will be cheaper and beneficial .you should try.

Hi,
I’ve been building quite few of sites recently, both personally and client related. In this time I’ve observed quite a few strategies that are key to helping a site grow from scratch. Traffic is usually what the success of a website lies on, so you need to know how to build traffic as effectively as possible. Luckily, over the last 2 months I’ve helped launch over 4 sites and quickly drive them to large amounts of relevant traffic and lots of feed subscribers. With this in mind, I wanted to put together a selection of what I’ve learned; this isn’t going to be ground-breaking and you might know some of it, but putting them all in one place should make for this useful resource.

Q: What is the best way to promote a new website ?

Very little ppc, article marketing, forum marketing (like warrior forum signature advertising), advertising on high traffic websites, Youtube marketing, podcasting, and social media.

Q: What is the best online paid advertising method for affiliate websites (Budget: US$40) ?

Not sure if i understand your question, but if i'm thinking what you're thinking... you should invest in advertising on a blog related to what your affiliate product is all about. If not that, then run ezine ads from non-rival publishers in your niche.

You could do banner exchange, keyword research, constantly update content and track what generates traffic better. Also Google adwords is powerful but money consuming. And make sure you have a lot of site linking to yours, the more - the merrier)

Article marketing i must say can be an immediate source of converting traffic . Write good content and submit it to various article directories. People love to read and follow good content , says my experience.

As about paid advertising , i havn't used it much though as i basically rely on SEO. However you should start with adwords at first. If you have created a new adwords account just look for some promotional coupons and test your campaigns for success and conversions. All other forms of PPC i must sat are BS.
