Webmasters :

There are alot of questions about starting off marketing your website, so i have decided to make this post where everyone can post there ideas and what they know works in marketing your website.

Keywords

Keywords are what is searched in the search engine, if you have good keywords you will be found easier on search engines such as google.

If someone searches "Webmaster Forum" and your meta tags include Webmaster Forum and the content on your website has the words "webmaster forum", your website will be found easier when the term "webmaster forum" is searched in a search engine such as Google.

Here is a free keyword tool i have found:
www.freekeywords.wordtracker.com

Blogging and Pinging

Blogs are where you post information, known as "articles", Blogs are found very easily in search engines.

Blogs get high search engine rankings easily and keywords help get even higher rankings, if you offer good quality information, you will keep getting repeat visitors.

Blogger.com is a free and easy to use blogging tool:
www.blogger.com

Wordpress.com is a free blog, with lads of addable plug ins, you need a domain name to use this:
www.wordpress.org
I reccomend using the sare it plugin with this as if your content is good readers will send it to friends.

RSS Feeds such as www.feedburner.com allow you to get your blog found even easier and have soem cool features.

Pinging
www.pingomatic.com allows you to tell search engines your blog has been updated within minutes.

Squidoo, Digg It, Myspace etc...

Once again these get easy search engine rankings, it takes around an hour to get one sorted but then it's a matter of just copying and pasting it onto each one.

www.squidoo.com
www.myspace.com
www.facebook.com
Digg it
etc...

Submitting Articles

Submitting articles to a place where they are read is an easy way to pick up traffic from high ranking well visited websites.

I am still experimenting with this.

Posting on Blogs/Forums

Posting on a blog/forum is an easy way to get traffic, you need to make it a genuine comment and not just an advertisement.


Advertising on websites

You can get low prices ona dvertising on websites, check out the forum here on DP for some.

Advertising in Your Local Paper

Most of the time you can pick up some free publicity from a newspaper, by having a genuine article that is worth there time to publish and your link at then end.

Videos

Videos get easily ranked, there are loads of top video sites, submitting your videos to all of them will only increase your chances of getting found.

You are advertsing on there website which is searched by millions and getting high search engine rankings.

thanks, we need more tips.i have registered my blog on feedburner but have absolutely no idea how it works.

Nice guide bud. Thanks for your tips.

Yeah, good guide.
Taken a few tips from it - I'll go try them out

Posting comments on on dofollow blogs is effective. There are more and more of them out there.

There are some dofollow blog directories and search engines that you can find by Googling for them. But another effective way is to search for blogs with commentluv and keywordluv installed.

A high proportion of these blogs also have dofollow installed, they just don't make a point of advertising that fact.
