I was wondering … what kinds of things have you don’t to promote your site?
If you haven’t already, I’d recommend that you add your site to all the big search engines – Google, MSN, and Yahoo. Then get your site listed in Dmoz, Truth Laid Bear, and any a web directory that suits your sites topic.
Niche directories are great to be listed in if your website or blog is about a specific niche topic.
Another thing that I do try to try to promote my site is comment on blogs. Now, I haven’t been quite as good about this lately as I used to be, but it’s a good thing to do. Think about it. When someone is kind enough to leave a comment on your site you probably visit their blog. Especially if they’ve left a great comment. So it makes sense to visit other peoples blogs regularly and leave a comment. You should get some return traffic by doing this and if a blogger likes your site enough they might even add you to their blogroll or write a post about your site.
What else do you do to promote your site?
Have you ever tried to get a site listed in DMOZ, its mission impossible… it can take years… most of the time its never… a lot of the editors are rumoured to be on the make… a lot of vested interests being protected within DMOZ…. sooner or later the SE’s will have to completely dump it.
How do you list your blog with MSN and Yahoo?
Thought your post was interesting, so I checked out DMOZ to see how to get on it. Guess what? My blog “Sma’ Talk Wi’ T” was already there. I’m still confused about del.icio.us and Digg it.
