Here are 4 site promotion tips you can use to generate traffic to your site:
1. Build a profile on Yahoo Answers. Similar to a forum, Yahoo Answers has a large community of people looking to get their questions answered. Aim to provide quality content that specifically answers people's questions. If voted "Best Answers", your reputation will grow and people will begin to start following you. From there, you can add your links to your profile to promote your blog and website.
2. Put an advertisement in high traffic blogs similar to yours. This method is similar to Google Adwords (where you purchase adds and if clicked on, you pay google a price per click), however this way, you can control where your advertisements are being placed. Why not add a link in these blogs to promote your own blog and website. They will usually charge a weekly or monthly fee for the privilege but this can open a lot of doors to generate high traffic from targeted audiences. Another option is to use Technorati where you can find the latest sites to promote your blog or websites.
3. Submit to social bookmarking sites. Make sure when setting up your blog or website you should submit them to all the popular social bookmarking sites to gain more exposure. To search for the top social bookmarking sites, perform a keyword search in Google and mark down the top 10 results.
4. Provide questions and reply to posts in forums. Most forums will allow you to add a link to your signature, so why not add a link back to your blog or website. Become a regular participant to these forums. The more messages you reply to, the greater the chance that people will click on your signature links and drive traffice to your blog and website. Ensure that you post in forums related to your blog and website, otherwise it will be pointless to post in a forum about how to mend relationship, when your blog and website is about training animals.
