Ad Manuals

Well, there are lots of ways to promote your website, but what are the best ways to get lots of visitors to your site?

I’ve been wondering about this for a very long time, and I must say I’m still in doubt what’s the best way to get lots of visitors. Well ofcourse there are ways that will cost you money, which can be effective, but there are also free ways to promote your site which could be just as effective, depending on your site. Here’s a list of paid ways you could promote your site, which are proven to be good:

1. Google Adwords
A great way to promote your site is by buying advertisements on Google Adwords. You can self set your budget, and determine how much you would like to pay maximal per unique click on your ad, visitors to your site. There are several ways to get the best out of it, by targetting on the right keywords for example. Google Adwords would probbably be seen by the most as one of the best ways to promote your site when spending money on it.

2. Buying ads on sites
Another thing you could do is buying ads on populair sites, which you think would get lots of visitors which would be interested to click through to your site, on the advertisements you place. This way could be more risky when you try PTC Sites or new sites.

But there are also ways to promote your site for totally free. Ways to do this which I found best are:

1. Search Engines
One thing you should do for sure is adding your site to search engines like Google, Yahoo,  Alexa, Exact Seek, Dmoz, etc..
A way  to get this done for free is by Submit Express; a totally free service which will submit your site to the most famous search engines.

2. Forums
Post your site on forums where it’s allowed, put a link to your site in your signatures, and post around the forums including your signatures.
But beware; always make sure that it’s allowed what you’re doing by reading the rules of the forums, TOS, or anything smiliar to that.
The best is to search for forums which you think there might be people on who would be interested in viewing your site, and so might click on your link.

3. Free Website Promotion Sites, Directories / Auto Hits Sites
Well, there are lots of sites which offer you free website promotion ways, like submitting it to Website Directories, Promotion Forums but also Auto Hits sites.
However about the auto hits sites, you can’t be sure that the hits they’re sending you, are actually unique, and sometimes they’re even bots. So be carefully with those sites.
Just search for some populairy ones and try it out, see if you’re getting unique visitors from it and if they’re actually worthy visitors (which actually do something on your site, what you want them to do).

4. Word Of Mouth
And of course you can spread your site by telling people arround; tell your friends, people you know who could be interested into it; tell everyone about your site!
Especially when you know a lot of people who have the same interesting as your site is about, then it would be very usefully to tell them of course.

So this are the ways I usually use to promote sites with. Of Course there are lots of other ways to promote your site yet, but I found these the most effective, best ways to promote a site. As soon as I’d find any new , good, ways to promote your site, I’ll let you know first!
