If you want to get the most traffic possible to your website you should use several different online advertising methods. This way your website is being sent out on the internet in various forms.

One of the best online advertising methods continues to be article writing. Through article writing you can use keyword optimization within the article and title of the article, inform people of products dealing with your website in the article, and include a short description of your website and a link to it in the resource box. Once you have written an article it counts as new fresh content on your website, and then you can submit it to article directories or post it on your blog to help attract visitors.

Another great online advertising method is posting in forums. With this strategy you can get your point across and be done in a couple minutes. Try and find several forums to post in, some related to your website and some that are not.

The important thing is to try and post every day to keep people informed with what is going on in your business and to continuously display your website link. This way if there are any new people to the forum, they have a chance to see your post as well.

It is a known fact that people like free things no matter what it is. You can use free things to your advantage to help your advertising and draw in more consumers. By posting on your blog, in forums, or sending out a vast amount of emails to people with free promotions such as a free e-book, newsletter, or a part of a 6 article series you will get people interested.

After giving away something free, at the end write something saying they can find much of this and more at your site. This displays some of your knowledge and leaves them wanting more.

Whatever the online advertising method is that you use, it is vital that you use some form. Without advertising your website nobody has a clue that it exists. Trial and error is a great method for advertising, so try out several different kinds of online advertising and see what works best for you.

The thing that I was havin' a problem with, was "spiffin" up the homepage of my site, to catch peoples eyes. I realized most people like videos, flashing objects, something that will catch their attention. I also went snoopin' around for a different way to get traffic, than everyone else, and found this site "Noobing". I signed up about 2 months ago, and it's doing pretty well. I had to pay a little fee in the beginning, but haven't paid a penny since. Basically pays for itself.

My site isn't for a business, but has to do with Computer Software/Hardware help, and I calculate my downloads, instead of sales. Which I don't see a difference. My thing is trying to get people to notice my site, and realize how much it could help them, so the more people that download, I calculate that as gettin' more "Sales". I added a "Greeter" to my homepage, so when you go to it, it asks you your name, you type it in, and it greets the person with "hey ___" in a message box. Honestly, just that little addition worked better than I thought it would. Maybe later on in the future, if I get enough people interested in the site, so I can take it to another step. Hope this helps.
