business depends greatly on your ability to attract as many visitors to
your site, this depends on the content and design of your site and on your
promotional activities.
Designing Your Site To Attract Visitors
Your Web site promotion campaign begins with the design of your site. Why?
Because the design of your HTML pages affects how your site will score on
the search results pages of the search engines.
Appearing at the top of search results pages translates into more hits and
more traffic. Plus, certain parts of your HTML pages control the way your
title and description appear on the search results pages, and you want
these items to be appealing so that searchers will click on your link.
Designing your web site is beyond the scope of this introduction guide.

in a search engine or a directory or they can stumble upon your link in a

listed you need to submit your site's URLs.

Press Releases To Magazines And Online
Publications
Magazines and online publications are always on the lookout for new and
interesting stories. Mention of your site in such publications can bring
you scores of visitors. The way to be included here is to send
announcements and press releases upon launching your new web site and
whenever you have something new that people might want to hear about.
Reciprocal Links With Other Sites
Trading reciprocal links means that you approach other sites asking them
to place a link to you in their site in exchange for a link in your site.
Naturally you would want to approach busy sites that attract visitors with
similar interests to your own. One good way to find such sites would be to
go to a search engine and type in one of your keywords. The sites that
appear at the top of the search results page would be good prospects.
Bear in mind that your site must contain interesting and useful
information in order for others to agree to trade links with you.
