How to Promote Your Website Online

If you are anything like me you'll probably always be on the look out for new ways to promote yourself or your website online for more traffic. I would assume you already have a blog. Blogging is probably the best way you can actually promote yourself online. Next to article writing of course.

This very blog has been going for over a year now. I started it back in April of 2008. At first it was only to write about and to promote my use of a couple of GPT Survey sites I was using. Over time I started adding more posts about similar sites I was using. Back then though I never really knew much about SEO. In fact I thought the best way to get traffic was to use Traffic Exchanges! How wrong I was. Although even they can have their benefits if used properly.

Over time as this blog has gone on it has got busier and busier with more and more search engine traffic finding it on a daily basis. Back then I never really got any search engine traffic at all but now it fluctuates from 100+ to 500+ visitors a day from Google. I haven't really done much to promote it and haven't really been building up backlinks for it. I've just let the search engines bring in the traffic for me. In fact some of you may have seen the post I made. Fun with keyword searches. That shows how this blog is ranking in number one spots on Yahoo for make money online and make real free money etc etc.

So this blog should be a perfect example for anyone who wants to start their own MMO (Make Money Online) blog. It's true what they say. It takes time. If you continue to add content to it that people will find useful you will be able to build up a readership of returning subscribers.

I've learnt a lot about SEO since I first started blogging. I've learnt how to build up a readership and keep people coming back for more. I've learnt how to harness social media traffic. And I've learnt how to write effective blog posts that get people commenting. But I am always learning new things as time goes by.

One thing I have learnt over the past year or so is how to use other websites and services to promote your own site. I would like to share this knowledge with you because I feel it may be helpful to people. Amateur bloggers and the experienced alike.

I will be making posts covering subjects such as.

Social bookmarking & Social networking sites for traffic
