6 Free Ways to Promote Your Website in 2009

by Ludwina Dautovic

If you have a new website or blog to promote, there are many techniques you can use and avenues to explore in order to do just that. What’s the best thing about these methods? They’re for free, and you’ll have fun and some education too along the way. While these approaches break no new ground, I will still summarize them for you. Read on and learn the various free ways you can promote your site or blog this 2009.

1. Link your site/blog to other quality sites. The more links you get to your site from other sites, the more you will increase web traffic to it. But not all links are created equal. Make sure you will link to sites which are popular or have high page rank.   

2. Submit your site/blog to established directories.
Get your site listed in directories that have proven skills in getting sites considerable traffic such as DMOZ and Yahoo! Directory. For blogs, you can go to Blog Catalog or Best of the Web. These directories have various categories where your particular product or service can be listed under so people can easily search for it.    

3. Write articles and submit them to article directories.  
Articles about your particular product or service can be submitted in article directories such as GoArticles.com, eHow.com and EzineArticles.com. As with business directories, your articles will appear under a category for easy search.

4. Take advantage of social networking sites.
Don’t underestimate the power of social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and the current global pastime Twitter. The more contacts you have, the more percentage of people (and potential customers and business partners) you will be reaching. Most of the social networking sites have groups, forums and classified ads you can use to promote your product or service.

5. Set up contests with cool prizes.
Who doesn’t love contests, especially ones with cool prizes such as electronic gadgets, trips, concert tickets, cash, etc.? Cook up a contest that will bring participants in droves. Announce them in online classified ads, forums, blogs and social networking sites.   

6. Produce informative and fun videos.
These days, it’s not enough for your thoughts to be read or your photos seen on the web. Maximum promotion means producing videos about your products and services and posting them to the insanely popular YouTube and other sites where videos can be posted in (MySpace, MSN, AOL, etc.).

Now, you’re thinking are these techniques appropriate for my business? Frankly, the Internet is a wide open field where every business-minded person is welcome to market and sell. Open your mind to the possibilities, both for conquering market bases and future partners. So, I encourage you to be flexible and try these methods of advertising your website or blog. Soon, you’ll reap the fruits of your labour.
