Popular methods of gaining Internet traffic and promoting your website
1. Submit your website to search engines and online directories
Whilst there are many auto-submit services out there I strongly recommend that you do this manually to prevent being black-listed. Most search engines are fully aware of such things and often regard them as spamming techniques.
2. Post in Forums
Look for forums that focus on topics similar to the theme of your website. Sign up and get posting! Be careful not to spam useless posts though as it will give a poor image of your site/brand. Be sure to add your website link (URL) to your profile signature so that it is visible on all your activity.
3. Bookmarks
Remind users to bookmark your website! It’s a great feature that requires a very small amount of effort. Ask subtely though so as not to make you look desperate. Just provide some text, with a button that carries out the process automatically.
4. Unique Content
This one can be difficult and time consuming, but it is arguably the best method of achieving high results in search engines!
What keeps a user returning to your website? Regular content that cannot be found anywhere else on the web. Search engines also love this as uniqueness has strong weighting in their algorithms. Get plenty of practice as it takes time to develop the skill of creating articles that flow naturally with the inclusion of keywords (without “stuffing”. That’s bad, and will negatively affect your rankings).
5. Build Links
This won’t really work too well with a direct competitor, but try to find websites of a similar theme and request a link sharing programme. This can be swapping banner ads (your site on theirs for vice versa) and text links.
