Hot Spots For Marketing Your Website
By Jason Nyback
One of the best things you can do to generate traffic for your website is promote your page in a place where people are already gathering. Rather than looking for people to market to, market where a community already exists. Below you’ll find four of the best places to start marketing your website, product or service.
Hotspot #1: EzineArticles
Article marketing is a great way to establish your expertise about a particular subject while simultaneously building inbound links for search engine optimization purposes. Ezine is the biggest article directory service on the Web, and is a popular gathering spot for readers, publishers and writers.
Hotspot #2: Digg
Social bookmarking is another big trend on the Web these days, and Digg leads the market in terms of popularity. Post links to interesting content on your website to build valuable inbound links and expose a new audience to your website.
Hotspot #3: Twitter
Twitter is rapidly becoming one of the most popular social networking sites on the Web. Start “Tweeting” to followers about your website to drive traffic to your page. If you incorporate keywords into your Tweets, your Twitter page may appear in the search results for certain search terms, which will further increase traffic to your website.
Hotspot #4: YouTube
In terms of video, YouTube reigns supreme. Post video clips to a YouTube channel for your website and start directing YouTube’s massive audience to your page today. Use keywords and the description box to help the search engines find your YouTube channel for best results.
