Just Starting WebSite How Do I Get People To My Site?

How do you get people to your site other then telling them to goto your site.
I havent designed a website in some time, im currently working on my site im just wondering in this new age of web whats the simplest way to get people to your site.

 

@Yourwichita

Go to the streets, and start shouting that your website is giving away free flight coupons and burger king vouchers. It will definitely drive visitors for your website. it worked for me a few years ago...

But if you want targeted visitors, start optimizing your site for keywords and key terms. For that, start reading this forum from the beginning.

Cheers,

 

You posted this on Social Networks, so I assume you mean marketing your site through social networks?

What kind of web site do you have? You need to provide some type of content to put on the social networks to entice people to go to your website. You're on the right track by saying you don't want to just tell people to go there. Provide tips, facts, and eye catching or thought provoking messages and then add a link to your site. Twitter and Facebook are the best places to start marketing because so many people are on them. I also suggest that you create a Facebook Fanpage if your website has anything to do with a business or is selling anything.

 

You market with groups and pages in social networks which has same interest on what your topic in your website is.. You can also create video regarding your site and post it to video sites..

 

nice im talking after all that how do you get people to goto your site? whats your views on growth of a website in your history how has the flow or traffic started flowing form day 1 to 50 unique USERS

 

Three words.."SEO" this is by far the best way to drive free traffic to an newly site...

 

To get the traffic firstly you need to have good content on your website than you should do SEO for your website. Mainly people use social media sites like facebook, twitter to get traffic to their website and you could also do the same.

 

It will take some time to get traffic flow towards your site, you have to work hard and go for the right marketing strategy through social networking. You have to spend some money in the beginning to promote your site, however, this will benefit you afterwards.

 

good ideas I like is there something else that you like, what strategy do you think works for social media

 

According to me after social media, classifieds add posting plays major role. you will get unique visitors from free classifieds site.

 

You should probably subscribe to other people on social networks and leave comments about their posts. For example, I like to read sites that are from Technorati. When I comment, I also fill the "Your Website" table.

Leaving funny and interesting comments will probably cause other users to visit you...

 

more good ideas keep them coming im going to be doing sms marketing

 

Could it be that having a very wanted product or service is more important than having many visitors?

 

Me too I just started a new site for my training and experience in SEO but its only a free one for now until I had enough info about this SEO things and traffic I think is difficult to accumulate for beginners like us.

 

i think you must know your site style well.I think there are two terms you can start to get known by people online
1,the easy way:just try traffic exchnage system to get real time visitors when you visit the other people's websites,like easyhits4u.
2,start a free blog at wordpress or blogspot,just insist in posting new fresh content which is relevant to your website topic.
3,submit your site to all major search engines and high pr directories.
4,do social bookmarking
5,forum posting and blog comments.
there are all free ones you can use.but if you want to get the target visitors sooner,you can try paid ads compaign.like google adwords.

I hope it is useful to you for the new site.good luck

 

1. Write articles for websites and in the bottom of your articles put your website.

2. Add lots of friends on facebook and post status's advertising your website (although this is not targeted)

3. You could pay for adwords to get traffic to your website.

 

Theres some more good ideas i really like, ill ask this after doing everything you have said without the paid adwords lets say ive done it all whats something else that i could do to get more people as in how do you know people may click on your site or just look over it.

 

make some facebook viral fanpages that points to your website..
and many other ways...

 

1) Sign up in facebook, twitter, US and some more sites make a profile and put you site URL in it, invite your friends..
2) share some information and put related TAGS.
3) join interested communities link movie, music, news people mostly link that kind of communities.
4) make some friends.

 

its same with me i need a very working means of driving traffic but i think that going for local newspapers counts as many local readers are trooping in
