How to Give a Push to a New Site?

INTERNET MARKETING

Hi,

I'm struggling to advertise a brand new site. Has about 2 months and roughly 5 visitors a day (!)...

Been bulding links (got 2-3), been posting to blogs/commenting (got probably 100-200 posts with "no follow" URL), using SM bookmarking (but too few visitors), no Facebook likers yet.

Not thinking of YouTube yet, not the case now...

I am careful not to attract Google Panda or Penguin penalties.

So how do I market it fast?
I want to attract about 1,000 visitors a day. How would that be possible to achieve before New Year?

shipwrecked,

I want to touch-base on the quality of content on your website. First, you got to understand (I think you do) people visit somebody else's website because they've found what they're looking for on that website. People do not find a website by an accident.

You may want to reply with the URL of your website so we can assess your content. We need to find out if there is really a good reason why people should go to your website. I'm not saying it's not worthy to be visited. I'm just trying to help you out.
- Thanks

Sure mate, I'm in the business as an online marketer...

Just want to know what opinions others have. I am trying to market this site at a low, very low budget.

I know that creating good content is extremely difficult. But I think the link popularity is still the most important thing.

I am interested in concrete tips. I manage several website for clients, so I'm not allowed to disclose them without prior consent (which I do not have at this time)...

  I have successfully promoted many of my sites on a low budget. I have found out that a quickest way to generate traffic to your sites is by forum marketing, blog commenting and guest posting. When you are doing either of these it is important to write quality content that adds value to discussion. If you are going to do this just for the sake of dropping your link then you will find it hard to generate traffic.

  Yes, for those who are not proficient in English it is very hard to create quality content. You can always outsource your content and its not very expensive either. Getting backlinks is still very important but let's face it, without quality content you are going to have a hard time sustaining visitors.

I agree at a certain degree that link building is important but not far more important than your content. IMHO, you need to establish a reason for people to 'link' to your website. The answer to 'why do you think I should link to your website' lies to your content - quality content. I would recommend you to establish quality content and you can advance with your link building strategy.

I am not sure about the content on the site you are referencing because I haven't seen it, but my best tip would be to target long-tail/low-competition keywords.

Every time I launch a new site with somebody, we always pay close attention to the long tail competition.

Launch is where keyword analysis is pretty important.

Your website needs to have good quality content first before you'll get visitors. After that, people will come back to see what new things you have to offer.

Thanks for the tips, fellows!

I guess today it's a hack of a lot harder to get a site into Google. I've been studying their rules and Matt Cutts' videos and I am finding it extremely hard to rank, even to get decent (minimal) traffic from them...

On a low budget it's even harder...

I have a 2-3 month old site in weight loss niche with 7 unique articles and 2 recipes, and I have exactly ZERO search hits from Google, so feel fortunate..I have no ads, no blackhat SEO, rank decent on Bing and Yahoo..So be thankful Google doesnt really hate you.

The saying "Write for your audience and not search engines" is basically BS for a new site....Might work for authority site, but not new site.

You are in a similar situation...
I'm getting some referral traffic through blog posts primarily. So the question is how to kick-start a brand new site on a low budget?

You could improve your site by writing at least 50 articles and in your case I think YouTube could help. I'd create a "free giveaway" PDF report or video and spread it... through it people could find your site...

Otherwise, I am considering to buy perhaps 1 Yahoo Directory listing, which costs 300 $ a year - not too much, but PR 4-5, so it could help...

What I'd like to know from you is:
>>If you "rank decent on Bing and Yahoo", how did you manage that? What techniques did you use?

  My thoughts on building a new website is like building a house in the middle of the desert. It could be a great looking house (website) with a ton of nice stuff (content) and you could be praying to the search engine gods to send you rain.. but, in the end.. your still in the desert.. and no one knows your there.
  
  You need to tell people where your at.. let's call it 'sidewalk marketing', the 'pray and wait' model is broken, you need to come outside your house (website, store) and market your website, get the website in front of people, out on the sidewalk so to speak.
  
  Hit up the 'Press Release' sites
  
  I know you said not right now about youtube but, you may want to reconsider
  
  Comment on blogs related to your site.. there is a free website that will help you find those .. (Here)
  
  Don't stop putting content on your site..
  
  My point is continue to find ways to put your website in front of people not 'spiders'.
