Promote your website

Starting a new website has to be one of the hardest things that I can think of that you can attempt to do.  After you have the site completed and you think that all the bugs are worked out there are most times always extra things that have to be done.  Such as with a wordpress blog, I just started this blog 10 February 2007 and I have been installing plugins almost everyday it seems.  Ok, so you think you are out of update hell and you are ready to show the world your website but wait a minute there are 11.5 billion other websites on the net.  Now being faced with that it is time to give up right, no this is where the hard work comes in, listed below are some methods that you can use for free and pay for to help promote your new website. 

Content
Most important aspect of your page, original content that people want to read and then tell others about the article. This is something that I have point blank been ignoring for the most part with our Ja Kel celebrity / fashion blog that we have been running since February 2006.  The content we have on our other blog is short and then a lot of filler from the celebrity or fashion articles we have found.  This in turn is ignoring the most important part of having a blog, because that info can be found on millions of celebrity / fashion blogs.  This brings me to the point of why I decided to start this personal blog about anything I want to write about, including things from my family which can not be found anywhere else.  Doing this in most cases you hope to form a reader bond causing people to want to come back to your site.

Link exchange
The easiest way to promote your website is link exchange although it does bring a ton of traffic your way it does how ever get you rated high on sites such as technorati.  This is relatively easy you can just email sites that have something income with your site content and hope that they will exchange with you.  

Forum Profiles
Many online forums allow you to have a signature within your profile in which that you can include a link to your site.  This will also not create a lot of traffic, but every thing you do is one more step towards being more successful with you website, persistence pays off eventually if done correctly. 
 
Newsletter
Creating a great newsletter is another great way to get traffic to your site.  On the other though you do need people to sign up for this and if you are running a blog there is RSS feeds which will work as your newsletter unless maybe you wanted to do a monthly one or something.

Banner Advertising
Banner advertising can be purchased on a CTR, CPM or Flat rate and in my opinion is an effective advertising method.  I have never purchased banner advertising, well actually I have only purchased one advertisement and that was on the million dollar page, right hand bottom corner of it.  Yeah I know maybe you are thinking why? I just got caught up in the hype of things and oh well it’s on there for five years.  Back to subject, banner advertising is no were near as effective as text advertisement within a post according to my stats on my other website.

Text Link Advertising
This type of advertising is definitely becoming extremely popular and more companies such as Text-Link Ads are appearing on the net selling links for websites and charging a hefty price in my opinion, fifty percent in most cases.

In Text Advertising
I’m sure you have witnessed this type of advertisement if you are feeling a little unsure at the moment remember back to being on a site and seeing a word underlined twice in most cases and a popup window appears when you move the cursor over it.  I would love to have this advertisement on my site but unfortunately most companies such as Vibrant Media and Kontera require a minimum of 500,000 page views a month and I do not have that yet.  It is an excellent way of adding to your blog revenue and I am for it one hundred percent.

Buy Forum Posts
Yes you can actually pay a company to post to your new forum.  Have you ever wondered how forums get started since no one wants to go there if there is no content to look at and so you are stuck with an empty forum?  It is funny that most people are followers and only want to do something if other people are already doing it or in this case no content to look at and read.  Well you can pay companies to post relative info to your forum and therefore populating your forum.  I have not actually used this method for our forum Ja Kel Fourm at the moment I am do it the hard way waiting for people to join, and it’s a very long wait.

    Did you start out with WordPress? I am always interested. Also, did you start out with your own url?

    Looks like that is the combo to go with as I am now faced with switching everything over.

    Paula Mooney keeps making comments. She must like what you are doing and I know from chatting with her that she has shot up in rankings in the last few months.

    I was surfing on your blog and came across this interesting article. I have recently started posting on forums where i put a link to my site in my signature and in fact we can clearly see the increase in backlinks. I will also try the other methods too. Thanks for the info.
