Finding ways to drive traffic to a newly developed website can be both a fun and daunting process. With all of the unique methods of advertising online today, the free routes are often the best ones.
Pay to Play
Go to Alexa.com and take notice of the the websites that receive the most hits. In most occasions, these sites provide pages where you can set up advertising contracts directly on the site. Facebook is currently one of the most affordable sites to advertise on with the best feedback. It allows you to set your own payment rate. It can be based on single clicks, or you pay per every 4,000 times it embs your ad on a page.
Use Social Networking Sites
Set up profiles on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. If you are on a tight budget, there are many free ways to advertise, and setting up a profile on a social network site for your web page is a form of advertising that is both free and priceless at the same time. If you build a large enough following on Twitter, you will have a continuous outlet to keep thousands, and possibly millions, of people informed about new developments with your business.
Create Back Links
Browse the web for key words similar to those related to your site, then post comments on the message boards of any forums or blogs that might be targeting the same audience. Always remember to post the hyperlink to your site. This will connect traffic from similar sites back to your own, but be careful not to come across as posting spam through being genuine and sincere with all of your posts.
Affliliate Program
Set up an affiliate program. An affiliate program allows visitors to your site to set up affiliate profiles through which they can keep record of money you earn through traffic they draw to your site. They then receive a percentage of this money. This is a very smart and low maintenance way of paying others to advertise for you but only paying for results that bring in profits.
Buy Traffic
Go to sites like eBay and Craigslist and review some of their sales on traffic. The ads run by credible companies aren't scams, and a simple search on Scamshield.com or one of the other scam forums will ensure they have integrity. Some offer deals like 10,000 hits in a month for $5. This can be a very quick way to get a high ranking on Alexa and in web browser searches, which will ultimately provide your site with more exposure to potential customers and advertisers.
Provide Quality Content
Set up a blog on one of your web pages, or one that drives traffic to your site, and then constantly provide that blog with hard hitting and relevant content that is high in demand. You can write on current events, produce evergreen content that will be timeless, or a balance of the two. The important thing is to write content that entertains and informs the reader enough to drive her to your page.
