Free website promotionCan you produce free website promotion? Is that even feasible? Of course! Nowadays, your baby website can amass huge amounts of traffic in no time flat thanks to free website promotion. How does this free website promotion work for you and your business? What are things to be done?

Here are 7 forms of  free website promotion that will bring results.

Keep in mind that there are many more free promotional avenues available to your business website. Simply do a Google search for key terms in this post…such as “Free Website Promotion” or “Free Online Advertising.” You get the picture.

1. Enlist your website.

Look for the hottest Internet directories and enlist your site there. This is the easiest and most effective free website promotion tactic.

Important Tip; you need to prep your website and make it relevant to your targeted audience, easy to navigate and see that it has good eye appeal for a higher chance of getting accepted in your directory of choice. This will bring your business website more visitors, keep them on the site longer and help in the long term promotion of your website.

2. Know your Social Media sites and forums.

One reason social media sites forums were created is to get free website promotion for everyone.

  • Set up a profile on forums about your business and participate by answering questions potential customers are asking. When you help them they will trust you and check out your site. Log in, post actively, let them know about your site in every post and you attract instant visitors right there.
  • Social Media sites are the Hottest Trend. I strongly recommend, if you haven’t already, setting up a profile on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Interact with your friends, family and Their Friends. Be social here and build relationships.

3. Write a press release.

Release your writing skills and write a press release that advertises your site! This is a free website promotion tactic that you can do anytime. Type a brief paragraph or two and email it to your friends, colleagues, internet e-zines, newspapers and other media and massive traffic will come to you pronto!

4. Be friendly and courteous online.

Free website promotion means you need to be friendly to other webmasters. Why, you ask? So they can link you immediately! Establish contacts and never tire of link requests and exchanges.

5. Write an article.

Say, your website is about your travel agency. Write an article about the perks of traveling or the hottest travel spots in the world. On the concluding paragraph, mention your website in passing. Search for Free Article Directories. Post your article on several different directories, to your blog, and to your social media site. Not only does this bring free traffic, it gives your site back links which helps in the long term promotion of your website.

6. Let the whole world know about your site.

What is free website promotion without word of mouth referrals? Insert your website, its URL and features in daily conversations and let the good news spread from one mouth to another. This takes us back to social media. Conversation online spreads faster than the gossip at your local beauty shop!

7. Take up a free website promotion course online.

Yes, there are free website promotion tutorials. But did you know that you can actually take a free website promotion course that can help you out further? Free website promotion training can be found by signing up for newsletters, blogs, and RSS feeds. When you find a blog that gives you beneficial information on free website promotion, opt-in to their mailing list and when something new is posted you will be informed immediately.
