<div align=justify>Now that you’ve got your web hosting all set up and site uploaded, you’re ready for the world to see it. One big problem looms ahead though: how to promote your new site when there is little to no money in the marketing coffers! Don’t despair, however; as help is a few clicks away. Here are 10 simple (notice I didn’t say easy, as there is some work involved) ways to get your site noticed and drawing in visitors for the long term. All of these methods are either free or extremely low cost, and are strategies you can get up and running with today! '''1. Article Marketing''' – Creating and implementing an article marketing campaign is a time-tested way of not only getting visitors to your pages, but also for getting backlinks in the search engines, which will over time raise your site’s ranking in them. This is also a task that can easily be outsourced cheaply, and can yield near immediate results. '''2. Web 2.0 Sites''' – Taking some of that same content you’ve created or had created, you can make little blogs and feeder sites on various Web 2.0 properties like Squidoo, HubPages, Blogger, Weebly and many others. This has several advantages, some of them being that they’re free, and that they each have a certain authority themselves that will benefit you by linking to your site. '''3. Press Releases''' – If you have a newsworthy event or product, you can employ free press release sites to announce your news. If you have a little money to spend, you would want to go to the industry leader. PRWeb. '''4. RSS Feeds''' – You can and should take your site’s RSS feed and submit it to the various RSS feed aggregators, which will further popularize your site. '''5. Social Bookmarking''' – Be sure to take advantage of social bookmarking your best work. Not every time though, and make sure to encourage your site visitors to do it for you by making it easy for them to do so! '''6. Video Marketing''' – Create and post videos about yourself and your business, and distribute them to the various video sites, like YouTube, Revver and Metacafe, among hundreds of others! '''7. Create Podcasts''' – Make audios, using perhaps even the audio track from your videos, or by reading your articles, and create podcasts that be uploaded to the podcast directories. '''8. Classified Ad Sites''' – Make use of sites like Craigslist, BackPage and USFreeAds where you can post for free. '''9. Popular Forums''' – Find a popular forum in your market and become a regular contributor. Eventually work your inks into your signature, and you’ll see surprising results. Be sure not to hard-sell. '''10. Blog Commenting ''' – Similar to the above method, but even more personal and relational. Strive to connect and develop real connections, as you never know who may be a valuable resource in the future. There you have it, 10 simple ways to begin promoting your new website. Employing these methods over a short amount of time will yield good results!</div> ''Taken from http://www.intac.net''
