No Cost Website Promotion

No cost website promotion can increase your traffic. There are several ways to do this. These include:

  • Reciprocal Links
    Request reciprocal links from synergistic sites. Small websites are more typically responsive. Be careful as you do this. Avoid scams. Google grades you on who you link to and who links to you.
  • Forums
    Research in Google Groups to identify groups that are relevant to you. Register in the forums relevant to your business. Post actively and usefully.
    One reason why forums are created is for free website promotion for everyone. Log in, post actively, let them know about your site in every post and you attract instant visitors right there.

  1. Nowadays I think social media is the best way to generate traffic to your website as long as you can come up with a way to provide your audience with lots of graphic content. People just love to look at stuff on the internet with pictures and that’s it! Once they like it, they share it and it multiplies.

  2. I found this particular posting extremely useful, I agree with Ruben ^ that social media is the best way to generate traffic. But, it all depends on what your target market is. If you’re using social media to market to those consumers who probably don’t use social media (the elderly, for example) then it wouldn’t be effective. But I think social media is the best and easiest way to generate traffic. The potential for things to go viral and reach multiple audiences is great.

  3. I think it’s helpful to provide a list but companies have to remember that not all social media is alike. Each one has its devotees. For instance, Pintrest tends to be women, while Reddit tends to be guys under 30, which is a great demographic. But Reddit also has its own culture, slightly less trusting, but once they see you’re legit, and not just there to spam, there’s a lot of respect.

  4. I’m surfing on the internet for the last couple of hours about website promotion. And I must say that this is the place where my search ends! You described every aspect of website promotion here and that too with its list of websites. Most of the time we only pay attention to only social media and not other aspects. I think if we do blogging and submit our url to every possible search engine and to social bookmarking sites along with social media marketing, then we can surely drive some more traffic to our website.

    I did not try photo sharing sites as well as email promotion, I’ll surely try them in a few days and will share the result with you guys.
