What is the Best Way to Promote My Website For Free?

[ 24.06.2009 | sumberide.com ]

Contrary to popular belief there are a number of ways in which you can promote your website for free and just because they are free does not mean that they are worthless! I will be writing about these “ways” within this article, I hope you enjoy the read.

Not all of us have buckets full of cash spare to spend on promoting our websites. For a small business the whole “having your own business website” can be a rather expensive business. First you have the cost of having the site designed and built, then comes the fee from the hosting company as well as purchasing the domain of the site. This for many businesses, especially the “one-man bad” can result in there being nothing or next to nothing left in the kitty to spend on website promotion.

If you have found yourself in this position please do not fear, all is not lost! It is now about ensuring that you have the basics covered. So what are these basics? Well to start with we have to work out which keyphrases or keywords that we are are hoping to obtain a high ranking for within the major search engines, these phrases/keywords should then appear within the text of the homepage. It would also be prudent, time permitting, to write a separate page on your website for each of these keywords.

Adding regular contact to your site, ensuring that this content is unique, is another good idea, this basically keeps the site “fresh”.

Become involved in online discussions on blogs and on social networking sites, many of these allow you to add a link back to your own site, some of which still pass the ever important page rank.

Submitting articles to the main article directories is becoming ever more popular ans this form of free web promotion has been known to be successful for a great many years – just ask the king of article marketing Lance Winslow who has written many thousands of articles to promote his own websites. Article marketing works despite what certain people might say.
