Which is the best way to promote a new website? any suggestions please ?

 

[unstoppable]

Try google adwords.

 

[JACreative]

There are many ways to promote your new website. First of all, make sure that it is optimised for search engines (keywords, links, content, etc.), as it increases your original search traffic. Google AdWords is usually more expensive than facebook, twitter and instagram, and you need to do keyword research and create optimised landing pages if you want to get a good return on investment. You can also promote it on your personal LinkedIn profile, so your connection will be aware of your new website, and it doesn't cost you anything. It also depends on the business, and its requirements, as some business requires more social media advertisements than others.

 

[Mirecart]

Depends as well on what industry you are in, what is your website, what does it sell, list or provide, what market or demographic are you trying to reach. ??

 

[fancymore]

there is so much work to be done if you have a new website. You can run different marketing campaigns, SEO , AdWords. Find an advertising or marketing specialist to assist you.

 

[Nochexman]

There are various ways to advertising online, like through pay-per-click (PPC) adverts, banners, and social media and pop ups. These can be an excellent way to promote your brand and increase traffic to your website. Advertising online can deliver visitors immediately via a quick click on your ad with results you can analyse and measure.

 

[TheConsulter]

You should begin with listing the business in different online directories. There you add details about the business name, address, phone number and website address. You should at least list your website on Google. Then you can move on to Google AdWords. This will take you to the top of Google search results. What you need to do is to research what words people search, so your Adwords campaign matches what people search. You could also create a blog on your website with interesting and educational content, which will bring traffic to your website.

 

[TheConsulter]

I forgot to add that it's important that you make your website mobile/tablet friendly. This will be rewarded in search engine results. There's also the option that you write guest posts on highly ranked websites in your niche. They will give backlinks that lead to your website.

Best of luck!

1. Sign up to Google Analytics
2. Sign up to Google Search Console
3. Submit your sitemap.xml and robots.txt in Google Search Console
4. Register your business on FaceBook Pages
5. Register your business on Twitter
6. Register your business on Google+ Brands
7. Register your business on Instagram
8. Register your business on Linkedin
9. Register your business on any other social network that may be relevant to your business.
10. Search Udemy for FREE SEO courses. There's plenty and will give you the basics to optimising your website for free.
11. Find online directories relevant to your business and register on them. Thomson Local, Yelp, FreeIndex & Niche specific ones etc.
12. Find online communities and forums, don't spam, participate and promote your products/services as and when appropriate.

[TheConsulter]

@Rickeo You have done a great contribution to this thread. Plenty of good advice.

 

[kingdombunniez]

As @Rickeo mentioned those are the basic things. But here are some tips as well:

The thing to remember is that SEO isn't a magic bullet. It's important, but no one knows the exact algorithms the SEs use, and each one is different so all you can do is optimize the best you can. There happens to be a few things that you should just always do whenever you make a new website. Don't stress over every little thing, just make sure you are doing it, this should just become kind of automatic for you.

Make sure you fill in your meta tags
Create good content
Include your keywords
Be sure that your .htaccess is set up correctly
Make a robots.txt file

Apart from the Udemy part, this is textbook set-up of a new website. Great advice.

 

[BREAKLINE UK]

I meant that is how we do it as well but without the Udemy part, as a new developer it's recommended to look for courses on websites like Udemy or Tuts+.

Yea I got that

There's loads more he can do as well, it's just a matter of covering the basics first.

 

[StevePoster]

Promoting a website requires consistency specially on a new site and it would be needed a great content to engage well for the target audience.

 

[Paulgcqa]

Being successful with only a website its not easy but if you work hard and never give up you will succeed . My advice its to work hard everyday and not depend only on website .Start also creating a youtube channel because its less competitive than seo.

 

[Mark_Taylor_]

• Start with a well coded, modern, fast loading responsive website that will keep you in good stead for a few years at least.
• Fill it with great unique content (and professional images)
• Get all the basics sorted as mentioned above.
• Get the on page SEO nailed right from the start before you launch.
• Check page load speeds across all pages (or most important ones if a large site).
• Get a decent server host (don't go for bargain bin shared hosting) Aim for the most reliable, fastest UK based server you can afford... ask about the following BEFORE signing up for hosting package:
  • If possible use object caching such as APC on the server.. ask your server host about this.
  • Ask for uptime server stats and check this online (also set up downtime / ping alerts on your homepage)
  • Ask if they can install any server mods that you may require in future.
  • Ask about the backup policy for your files AND database

in the short term with good boost and conversation ad AdWords, in the long term - SEO

 

[mcmm]

Rickeo’s post is fairly conclusive but remember it is all about the constant effort of maintaining all these approaches (that’s why some companies outsource this).


The saying is content is king and if you can generate content and produce it on all social media platforms then you will see movement.

Are you business to business or business to public, if you were of the latter then a regular stream of content will be sucked up by all social media platforms. Also consider providing motivation for consumers to “like” your posts.

Be careful of the over use of social media, you should have a target audience that would be open to communication.

Look up Can I be your Friend? on YouTube

Lastly, networking events and word of mouth play a huge role in promoting your business not just your website.


Kind Regards

Social media and search engine marketing for getting instant results and become familiar

 

[aaron web designer]

It all depends on the business and URL. To get traffic immediately you need to set up an adwords campaign. Other revenues are gumtree, yell.com (again it depends on the type of business. Instagram and Facebook will help drive traffic too.

[Dizz]

how to determine if a backlink is good or bad?

 

[TomJ83]

There are many different factors. Make sure that the backlink is relevant.

 

[Joe Robinson]

Something I don't think has been mentioned yet - create a Facebook group for people interested in whatever your site is about and spend time making it appealing for people to join. Get lots of members, then you have lots of options to reach the members (and promote your site) for free.

 

[jameswilliam789]

You need to do SEO for your website.

 

[Intuz]

The main source of traffic is your website content and content promotion to other channels. Improve and update that content that can give you high traffic. Identify under-performing content from blog or service pages. Republish content with helpful information and visuals. Take help of social media networks and highly authoritative social bookmarking platforms to promote your content.

 

[fisicx]

...and highly authoritative social bookmarking platforms to promote your content.

For example?

 

[Junie Rutkevich]

Let me summarize it for you...

SEO -- you need to learn more, as wrong move can do more harm than good. if you buy a service, don't go cheap. you'll get what you pay for.
Social media influence -- reach out to influencers, or build your own influence. you also need to have plenty of social media shares, as this will help in your SEO.
Ads -- well, you can't go wrong with this, but you need to pay per click or per impression.

 

[Zoe Williams]

Promoting a website just need your complete plan and marketing strategies. You can use authenticated rules or can try out new ways to promote. I would suggest digital marketing is the best option you can use to boost your site. You can use Ad Words, SEO, and SMM, etc for better results. LinkedIn is also a very effectual way to promote a site with so many professional figures it will surely get a boost up. There are so many ways to do this single task; all you have to do is use the correct platform.
