How to Advertise Your Website for Free

People with no marketing budget at all can still succeed with a website. Free advertising methods work.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Website
• Time

1. Pay attention to internal search engine optimization, or SEO. Research and use keywords that people search for. Then, write content for your website that includes those keywords. Write a lot of content that will interest people looking for that information. Most free website traffic will come from search engines. Make sure they can find you.

2. Write articles and submit them to directories with back links. This is known as article marketing, and it is the best way to advertise your website for free. Focus each article on the same keyword that you used for your website. Aim for a two to five percent keyword density. Each article should also have an author's bio at the end with a clickable link to your website.

3. Become active on forums or message boards with topics that match your website topic. Get involved with discussions and post informative posts. Each one of your posts should have a small signature at the bottom with clickable links to your website and an attractive blurb. Keep posting to the forums every week for free advertising.

4. Find hot blogs that have to do with your topic. Without spamming, post interesting comments to the posts on the blog with a link back to your website. Be sure you have something to add to the conversation.

5. Network with other website owners and exchange links and advertisements. While link exchanges are not very helpful for search engine rankings anymore, having your link out in as many quality places as possible creates a greater chance of having it found and clicked on by potential clients and customers.

Tips & Warnings

• Take your efforts seriously. This is business!
• Never spam. Everyone will hate you.
• Do not give up too soon. Free advertising takes time.

on 10/26/2009 This really works I love it its not a scam and its free. But if you want to make money faster its only 10.00 toupgrade( I recommend this, you get more money for referrals and A LOT more ads to clicks on). I made that back in one day. So try it out for free or upgrade either way you make money. I leave the screen up all day when I walk past the computer I click on an ad I don't even look at it and I get money. It's not enough to be a full time job or to make you rich but it helps when I need the extra money. You just have to click on an ad and wait 30sec any wheres from .01 to 5.00 an ad. If you do however work really hard at it, upgrade and get lots of other people to upgrade, then maybe it could be a full time job making lots of money.
