How to get your website noticed?

Well, I believe that content is always king. Write contents that are informational and interesting and sooner or later, your website will generate a significant amount of traffic. You must be consistent and you must writ regularly in order to entice your readers to come back for more. It will take time -- a lot of it, so be patient!

Usually I'll post on Twitter whenever I update my blog. Alternatively, I'll crosspost my entries from my own domain to Livejournal and Dreamwidth cause that's where my friends are. I discovered that when you do that, your posts get noticed by search engines quicker cause Livejournal and Dreamwidth are trusted sites. This is for blogs though. I don't know about other sites.

Our writing group has a Facebook page and I have a Twitter account. I am constantly forwarding our articles to Twitter. I also put a link at the bottom of my emails (signature). I think you can use it in your signature anywhere as long as the body of the text is not considered spam.

I started a blog I no longer work on a couple of years ago and I admit inviting traffic to it was hard work. I prepared a nice site with what I thought was great content but nobody knew it existed! I joined as many social sites as I could and made sure my link was everywhere. I found that commenting on other people’s blogs and leaving my link on the comment invited many visitors. The key is to have great content or to be selling a great product and after a lot of hard work, eventually word of mouth will bring people to the site, it’s not easy though...

Article writing with links to your site is a great wait to gain exposure. Sign up for social networks, forums etc. Make sure to sign up with blogcatalog if you have not already done so. Those are some techniques I use that have worked well.

Do you have any idea about SEO? can you share me some techniques?

Five and hence, I am still struggling with it. I am earning much less than others who are inferior than me just because of the low traffic. I just cannot generate more traffic! I was being told that good content would drive traffic but nothing ind of works with my site.

I don't know much about SEO at all other than putting in proper tags? Mine is from word of mouth.....or more like typing on the keyboard in places like facebook, twitter, social websites such as gather, sidetick, and others. Networking says a lot....especially if you are letting others get to know and trust you. Marsha

Join forums, and then put your website url in your forum signature. Every time you post an answer, your signature appears. Offer free downloads, such as free making-money ebooks. Write articles in Xomba, Snipsly, and other article aggregators, and put your links towards the end of your article. Always answer comments on your blogs so your readers will come back to visit.

your replies will really interest me as i'm hoping to set up a website in the next few weeks,not the one i started a discussion about,,but i'm really thick when it comes to this sort of thing so don't have a clue how to let people know it's up and running and to pop in and take a look

I think if your website is a blog, then you can try to use blogping, if other than that you can subscribe to StumbleUpon and stumbling your website, promotion of your site is a must, you must submit your site to all the major search engine as well. You also create a lenses for your website on the squidoo. For more advance, you can create a video related or with attractive content and put a link on the video for your website. I think there are many more way you can do. Just look around and you will be able to find out.

Interesting question. I started a website in March, 2010. You can view my philosophy on the testimonials page there. I suppose it depends on the purpose of the site in regards to attracting views/viewers/friends/customers etc.

This is my question too....i try to have more traffic on my website but it is very difficult if you dont have time to write.

I think there are many steps prior for a website to be successful. Posting your website to popular blogs, writing articles, get your site listed in so many open directories available, promote through social media sites such as facebook/friendster/twitter/youtube.... There are enless ways to get there, only determination and a good content as well as regular updates on the website will keep visitors returning for more visits. Best of luck to you and hopefully you'll get your website noticed :D
