(Advice) How To Promote A Website

What do you mean by "it's not coming up here" ?

When I originally attempted to link to your site, it would not display. I don't have that problem this morning. By the way, your site looks very nice.

I did notice you're using the same meta description on every page of your site. You might customize that description to match each page.

Building online traffic works best with a mix of online and offline marketing techniques.

A few of my favorites below:

Organic Backlinks – Organic backlinks to relevant sites with high PageRank – in good neighborhoods work best. Links to warez, torrent and spam sites are considered BAD neighborhoods – and will drag your site lower in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS).

Forum Signatures – Participating in industry forums and discussion groups positions your firm as an expert in the field. Your signature at the end of each thread or post can link to your website or a specific promotion. Be sure to comply with forum rules.

Newsletters – Newsletters are a fantastic way to get the word out about your contest. Links from newsletters can be monitored to determine what hits home with your readers.

Relevant Content – Beyond a doubt, the MOST IMPORTANT element for any website is relevant content, meaning your content must address each click through (opportunity) with a compelling and convertible solution.

Tweaking Your Site Using Analytics/Statistical Progams – Measuring what works, and what doesn’t work provides a foundation by which you can re-structure your site for success. Discard what doesn’t work, and repeat repeat repeat what does.

Social Media Networking – I think it goes without saying that having a presence, at least today, on Facebook or Twitter is a necessity. Your competition is already there capturing some of your traffic. I do see Twitter on your site, but not Facebook.

Article Writing – Article writing positions you and your firm as experts in the field. Link your articles back to your site via your bio.
