The hardest part of creating a new website is getting actual people to look at your website as a novice website developer. The next great idea seems to be the easy part, but it will never be a real success if you are the only person reading your work. I have been experimenting with this problem, and here are some things that seem to work for me.
1. Social Bookmarking this is my number one pick because in enormous, it has brought the lions to share of the traffic to my website; some great sites do this www.digg.com is my favorite it seems to be one of the most popular at the
2. Article Directories I have to admit that there are a lot of crappy articles on most article directories, so if you put your well-written article on one, it is bound to get snapped up by hundreds of content starved websites looking for new stories all they will all have backlinks pointing to you, Articledashboard.com seems to be a nice one.
3. Forums Posting – This has got to be the most time-consuming one; if you do it correctly, you must find people who might have some interest in your site; in my case, those are computer-related forums. I help people with their computer problems and drop a link to my site in the signature. Be careful with this one; please don't spam forums with a bunch of junk just to get your link out there; if you can add to a discussion or help another member, most forum admins will not have any problems with you putting a link in your sig.
4. Website crawled – This is one of the hardest things to do, but it can pay off big if you get a good ranking from Google. One thing that needs to be checked is your Robots.txt file; this allows search engine spiders to correctly crawl your pages; a more detailed article on the subject can be found here www.searchengineworld.com. You also might consider trying to implement Googles new Sitemap generator – this is on my to-do list
5. Directory Submissions – Submit your site to human edited web directories like http://dmoz.org/. It will help your page rank and may even get you some traffic.
6. Link trading – Most sites with similar interests as yours will be more than happy to add a link to your site as long as you provide them with a reciprocal link.
This is by no means an all-inclusive list, and I am sure there are many more great ways to generate website traffic; if you have a suggestion, please post a comment.
