5 Ways to Advertise My Website For Free Using the Internet

Seriously, you have a website that you just created and now you need traffic. There are many ways to get people coming to your site for free. Here are a few of my favorite methods.

Write Articles

I personally think that this is a very slow way to generate traffic upfront, but in the long run it becomes very valuable. As time goes by, search engines rank your articles higher and higher and this is why you see people coming later in time. Writing articles is perhaps the easiest way to advertise your site. Just commit yourself to writing one article every day.

Create Videos

Video is something that can bring those lazy people to your site. These people are usually too lazy to read something and rather watch it. All you need to do is make a video explaining what your site is all about. Just don't forget to provide them with a link. Try sites like Youtube, Daily Motion, Metacafe, and Veoh.

Join communities

Communities allow you to build a relationship with people. Once you have a relationship established people will trust your website and become loyal followers. All you have to do is interact with people who are interested in your site's subject and then recommend them to it. Some online communities include Digg, Yahoo Answers, and specific forums.

Repeating Traffic - Emails

All these other methods have something that only email can provide, and that is getting the same people to visit your website. When you promote with articles, the person will probably only see your site once, that's it. With emails you can have people returning every single time. All you have to do is send emails once in a while reminding people that your website still exists. You could send an email out every time you update your content, have a special promotion, etc. You will be surprised how many people respond.

Viral eBooks

This is a very unique method. All you have to do is write a short report or book that provides people with valuable information. Then include links back to your website in the eBook. I recommend writing at least 10 pages. The twist to this is to allow others to hand out your eBook to their friends and customers. Many people will take you up on the offer and your eBook will spread like a virus. This is why the term viral is used. You can even submit your book to eBook directories.
