Have you ever wondered how My Space, You Tube, Face book and Twitter get so many visitors and are known worldwide? They all provide a service that people use. If you want a site that can be as powerful as these ones than you can. Anyone can, if you can find something that could benefit many people you can probably incorporate it into a website.
There are many ways to promote your site, and drive traffic to it. The common ways are: organic traffic (Google, Yahoo and other various search engines), direct traffic (links pointing to your site), traffic exchange programs, social networking, and advertising.
The most of traffic comes from search engines. The main search engines are Google and Yahoo. The smaller and less used search engines are Bing, Msn, and Aol. Getting crawled (looked at by the search engine) is very easy, you can submit your site to the search engine or just wait and it will be crawled after a few days. The point of getting crawled by a search engine is so your website and pages of you site will be put in the engine.
Adding content to your site is very important at the start of your site. If you have a lot of good content that relevant to your site. Also a service with your site is key to success. Having your site complicated and hard to navigate. People will get turned off and not return. Having an easily navigational site will boost your traffic and keep your visitors happy.
There are some links that can be better than others; .edu and.gov links are thought valuable by search engines. If you can build links from .edu and .gov sites than you can get a better ranking in search engines. There are a few ways to build links, submitting you site’s url to directories, posting your site in forums, writing articles and adding a signature with a url to your site, advertising, or networking and recommending your site to others. There are services that can do these things for you or you can do it manually.
You can implement these techniques to get traffic and the word out about your site. Getting ranked high on a search engine is important if you want to just get traffic to your site. If you just want specific people to see and use your site you may not want to promote. Instead, you should just build links from relative sites pointing to your site. This way you get the traffic you want and do not have to wonder where it is coming from.
