27 Website Promotion Sources That Have Nothing to do with Google or SEO,总结得不错,转载过来与大家分享。
- Social Bookmarking(Digg, Mixx, SU, Sk-rt, Sphinn, etc.)
- Social Networking(LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.)
- Forum Participation(I shouldn’t have to say that you go there to add value, not just get traffic!!)
- Blogging (If you aren’t doing this already this should be priority #1)
- Linking Generously(What goes around, comes around - & referral traffic generally sends the best and most qualified visitors to a site)
- Advertising (Even a small budget of $50 a month can get you started with a company like BlogAds or with PPC)
- Email Marketing(An art in and of itself, but most email marketing providers can get you started for free & can cost as little as $15/month)
- Directory Listings(There are lots of free niche directories, and some good paid ones, like BOTW)
- Flyers(Get local and make flyers to post at local cafes and other community bulletin boards)
- Yahoo Groups(I’vehad long-term success building communities through email discussiongroups - really highly recommended if you have the stomach to be a goodmoderator)
- Listservs(Hosting your own email discussion groupsis a little more involved, but if you need a branded option to Yahoogroups, it is worth it)
- Press Releases(Really important to raise the visibility of your site - it’s a new priority for me as well)
- Video(I can’t go anywhere without hearing how important it is to get into video. ARGH!)
- Twitter(I haven’t been very active there, but have heard that it can be a huge traffic driver)
- Conferences(A quick search for “Wendy Piersall” and “SOBCon” brings up an astonishing 1200 results. ‘Nuff said.)
- Meetups(Real-life networking is crucial to your long-term success)
- Blog Comments(Leave them, respond to them, encourage them - love them!)
- Associations(Being involved with my local internet advertising community has been critical to my professional success)
- Widgets
(BlogRush kind of fizzled, but MyBlogLog has been the 12th top referrer to this site in 2007) - Memes(I find it hard to participate in them much of the time, but long-term they can be a great source of links and traffic)
- Blog Carnivals(I never had a lot of traffic from carnivals, but I do think they are important, especially for beginners)
- Craigslist(Some of my potential advertisers have done extremely well on Craigslist - not just getting traffic, but traffic that converts)
- AdLandPro(Icouldn’t handle this place - but it is indeed a forum dedicatedexclusively to letting you promote yourself - mostly for free)
- Contests(Just be careful that you don’t set up the rules so that you get banned by the search engines - unless, of course, you are already banned & don’t care )
- Article Marketing(Some people swear by it, otherssay it’s dead - I think it’s worth mentioning and testing, as differentthings work in different niches)
- Use Email Signatures(SOOooooooo important)
- Feature RSS feeds prominently(Once you get them hooked on your content, keep them coming back by making it easy to subscribe to your feeds! A large, prominent RSS button DOES increase subscriber numbers)
