You don't have to go broke advertising your website.
Advertising can help attract people to your website, and viewers tend to multiply as they post links, share a site with their friends and post comments on your site. While paid advertising is an important part of any start-up business's budget, several methods can be used to get free advertising for your website.
Instructions
1. Create a social networking fan page for your site and invite your friends and colleagues to "like" the page. Post regular, interesting updates to the page and include free offers, interesting articles, questions for your viewers and other information that engages your readers. Avoid spamming your fans with constant updates. Instead, stick to an update or two per day that users will find interesting and compelling. If you're selling a product on your website, offer discounts or early notice of sales on your fan page.
2. Create a Google Adwords account. Adwords allows you to target Internet searchers using keywords and is typically fairly cost-effective. However, Google regularly runs promotions giving first-time users $50 to $100 worth of free advertising. You can cancel your ads after you've used your Google-allotted free budget.
3. Submit your website to blogs covering topics relevant to your website. For example, if you run a website selling jewelry, send links to fashion and jewelry bloggers. If you write about politics, send links to political bloggers. Avoid commenting on every post with a link or constantly sending new information, as most bloggers won't post something if they feel they're getting spammed.
4. Establish a blog on your website and submit it to blog directories. Comment on other people's blogs using your blog screen name with a link that links back to your website or blog.
5. Post on online communities and forums related to your site regularly, and become a valued user who provides useful information. Provide occasional links to your website when you have something that might be relevant to the community's users.
