Have you ever asked yourself and then Google search, how many websites are there in the world? I did this morning. And the number is really huge. According to Netcraft Web Server Survey, as of April 2010 there are around 205,368,103 websites available on World Wide Web. Seems there is a slight fall as, statistically, the same source says that in December 2009, there were 233,848,493, and even though three of the five major web servers lost hostnames compared to last month, anyway, the number of websites is quite considerable to have some concerns about how to reach your audience effectively and cheaply.
On the basis of some data analysis, and the experience I have on the topic of website promotion, I summarized some of the steps for result-oriented website promotion:
1. The most important is to create the best content that is the key guarantee of attracting the audience. If the reader is caught from the very first visit and then is provided with updated information timely, then the first step is accomplished successfully that leads to easy work of the following steps;
2. Recommend your site at such social bookmarking sites as Digg or networking sites such as Facebook;
3. Work on search engines, as mentioned above, as the best content guarantees responses from the search engines. That is great step forward;
4. Send press releases. It is very effective way to promote your website as there are many free press release submission sites if you do not plan to spend some money yet;
5. An article submission is also a Great tool;
6. Try to post a link to your site for free though do not forget to pay attention to the terms of copyright;
7. Use social community sites such as MySpace or Facebook. There you can find people with the same interests;
9. It will be very productive if you contribute to other websites, different forums and blogs;
10. Comment on other blogs.
I am sure that is not all that may serve the websites as promotion tool but it will be great if you add some and enrich Blogvasion team’s and readers’ knowledge about it.
