Third, design an email and forum signature. This should include your name and web site address, and perhaps, a short statement about your business. Use this with all emails and any other electronic correspondence you enter into. This is very effective in attracting customers from sources you would otherwise have missed.

Fourth, get links back to your web site. These not only attract the attention of search engine spiders and get you higher listings, but also provide traffic from other web sites. Reciprocal links, where you exchange links with other web sites in roughly, but not exactly, the same business as you, are fine, but one way links are even better. You get these through writing articles and submitting them to submission services.

There is one problem here: if your writing is not good then this could have an adverse effect on your traffic. You should then have ghostwriters write for you. The traffic and exposure you get is well worth the cost.

Finally, fifth, join forums. Find a forum relating to the theme of your web site and sign up for it. Include your web site URL in your ‘Profile’ which is shown in each of your posts, and post regularly. Get to be known as an expert in your field, and people will email you and visit your web site. Forums are a rich source of potential traffic for you.

So there you have it, five ways in which web site promotion could help you to make your web site famous. Visitors are the life blood of your site: without them it dies, so do whatever you can to attract them.
