6 Quick Ways To Promote Your Web Site For Free

Demystifying the nay-sayers who would have you believe that free advertising is of less value than paid advertising. The truth is free doesn’t necessarily equate to poor quality. For instance viral advertising is a powerful free marketing tactic. One popular viral marketing strategy is the “Tell a Friend” form used to encourage others to share and pass on your web site URL and content with others who will also share it with more friends. This can go on to create potentially huge viral marketing campaign.
Well with that said here are 6 quick ways in which you can effectively promote your web site for free.
1. Submit to Online Directories
Look for Internet directories and list your site to relevant and high traffic directories. This is one of the easiest and most effective free web site promotion tactics. One example is Dmoz
2. Marketing With Forums
One reason why forums are created is for free web site promotion for everyone to share ideas and tips within as a part of the community. You should share your expertise and help others. Don’t blatantly advertise. Use a signature file to place a sentence and in time you attract instant visitors who will click on your web site link. Make sure you have an opt-in form so you can capture their email address as they subscribe to receive your newsletter. Just do a search for forums in your niche.
3. Write a Press Release
Release your creative writing skills by preparing a well written press release that advertises your site. This is a free web site promotion tactic that you can do anytime. Send your press release to free submission sites. Before you prepare your press release go to PRWEB to view their tips for preparing a successful new release.
4. Make New Contacts Using Web 2.0
Free web site promotion means using social networks if done right can help to bring free traffic to your site. You will need to give to something of value to your contacts like information or tips to help them with their business. Build your credibility this way and forge a continuing alliance with like minded people. This will also help to build trust and people will be curious enough to click through you links to view your web site. One example is Facebook
5. Submit Articles To Article Directories
Article marketing can help you to rank well in the search engine without the need to pay for Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. Using high ranking authority article directories such as Ezine Articles you can quickly establish your expertise. The key to making your article work effectively to attract free traffic to you site is your author resource box positioned at the end of the article. This is where you’ll provide details of your business by adding your URL link. It is a good idea to link to a squeeze page or landing page in order to get people to sign up to your mailing list.
Using this simple tactic will help get you more traffic and build your mailing list of prospects whom you can contact on a regular basis.
6. Create and Distribute Online Videos
Create simple videos using free Windows Movie Maker which comes with ready installed with all Windows Operating systems. Or do a search for free video software or “free screen capture video” for an alternative. You can use screenshots and text as content for your video. If you want to feature yourself in the video then you can use a digital camera to record yourself and upload the saved recording onto your computer.
Once you have completely your video submit to YouTube and other popular video sharing sites. To save time and submit to several video sites I highly recommend using TubeMogul.
