Step 1
Support your blogging community. Visit websites that are in the same category as your own and form relationships by leaving comments, visiting every day and subscribing to RSS feeds. Leaving comments with your URL attached will bring visitors to your blog and help to promote your website
-
Step 2
Ask to be featured. Once you have formed a relationship with other blog owners, ask them to write a post and feature you and your website on their blog. Bloggers are usually very considerate and most of them will go out of their way to help you.
You might consider offering to promote their website in return. Have them write up a bio and a description of their site and you can feature it in one of your posts. -
Step 3
Offer a link exchange. Find other websites and blogs that are in the same category as your own and contact blog owners about exchanging links. This means that they will put a link to your site on their blog, if you will do the same for them. Google recognizes links back to your site as a good thing and will rank you highly if you have a lot of incoming links. This is a good way to build traffic, get higher search ranking and improve traffic to your site.
Using all these tips or a combination of them, you can easily promote your website for free.
