1. Submit to search engines

Simply submit your website’s URL to major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Ask, etc. The process is easy. www.freewebsubmission.com offers auto submission to the highest-rated Internet Search Engines.

2. Share interesting content

A website’s rank on search engines is determined by the number of its visitors. If your website attracts many visitors you will have a high rank in search engines, meaning that your website will appear before others. In order to generate high traffic you will need to keep your website updated with interesting content. Post articles, tutorials, events, and anything else related to your activity. Provided that you share compelling content, you can easily popularize your website by integrating it with a blog. Blogs are great for posting and managing new content.

3. List your website

If you’re offering services or products, potential customers from your area visit online directories like Google Maps Local Business, Yahoo Local, or the YellowPages Web Directory to find a local business. List your business website on all the free leading Web directories and get noticed!

4. Link Exchange

Major search engines like Google and Yahoo measure incoming links to your website so they can determine how relevant you are to search words. Your website’s credibility and rankings become higher if you are linked to popular websites. Try to form affiliations with websites within your category or those that can benefit from your content. The easiest way to gain link popularity is to request reciprocal links.

5. Make your website social

Encourage interaction on your website by using a blog or forum. Setting up a social tool can be easy but direct integration with your website may require a professional.

6. Social networking

Online communities like Facebook, Twitter, or Linkedin are very popular and good for exposure. Sign up  and post content linking to your website.

7. Participate in online communities

People share interesting topics on blogs and forums. Participate in these social communities and provide links to your website. (Do not post unsolicited links – spam) Join communities on which you can post links relevant to discussions.

8. Use signatures

A signature in a forum or email is information included at the very bottom of your message. Signatures are great for promoting your website every time you post a message. Some forums get thousands of visits each day. Include a link in your signature and you can bring high traffic to your website.

9. Answer questions

Yahoo Answers, Answers.com, and Answerbag are popular websites where people ask questions that you can answer. Visit these websites, search for questions relevant to your activity, and share your knowledge. You can provide a link to your website as a source of information.
