Publicizing Your Website
The Internet has increased the
info "noise level" by 100,000%.
How
will people find your website?
Publicity is more important than ever!
Here's how:
1. Get links from websites busier than yours.
If you can get a link from a huge site with millions of visitors,
it will not only bring people to your site, it will raise the rank of your
site in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). See Search
Engine Optimization.
2. Get mentioned in magazines and
newspapers.
Not only will people find your site, but magazines and newspapers have websites,
and will often link to websites mentioned in their published articles. Also,
you can publish the mention as a credit to the value of your site.
3. Correspond with your site's visitors.
Set up an online forum, or offer your email address
(or even your phone number) to users so they can contact you. Chances are you
won't be overwhelmed. Rather, you'll receive valuable tips on how readers
are using your site, what they want to know, and how you can better meet their
needs.
4. Word-of-mouth: the best, and cheapest, publicity ever invented. Do it! More...
