I’m in a lazy mood tonight.
We’re just waiting for our dinner to finish cooking and then we’re going to sit back and watch some TV shows like Glee and NCIS.
I think after dinner, while watching TV, I’ll work on doing a bit of site promotion. I haven’t done that in ages, and well … you need to do that every once in a while.
When I work on site promotion I generally visit blogs that I like and leave a comment if I have something to add to the post. I also sometimes spend time listing my various sites in niche directories or finding new directories like the freedirectorysubmission.org to list my websites in.
Do you actively work on site promotion? How do you promote your site?
Lately I’ve been writing articles and promoting them on article marketing sites. Have y tried this?
Usually I buy banner places to promote my website.
I should do more site promotion. It’s hard enough finding time to write for my site! Anyway, thanks for the directory suggestion.
I try and do as much site promotion as I can – after all there’s not much point having a cool site if no-one is going there. But it’s definitely a learning curve getting the right approach. I’ve tried banners but never found it brought me any traffic at all! Articles do work but you have to really get a lot of them out there and be patient as they filter through into the feeds and get picked up by publishers. If you have something you can promote through videos, youtube and other video sharing sites can be very productive but that doesn’t suit everyone. How much site promo you do and what kind depends on what your site is for to some extent. Its a case of trial and error i think, just keeping at what works and letting the rest go.
