7 Great Ways to Advertise Your Web-Site

Do you own a web site? Then you know that the life-blood to any ecommerce site depends upon traffic. Without it, you are dead in the water, no matter how great your product or services are. The best way to increase traffic is to advertise. Below, learn about 7 great ways to help advertise your web-site and therefore increase traffic which will then increase sales.

. Make your classified ads stand out in a crowd.
Use all capital letters in the headline, divide letters
with extra spaces, add in text symbols, etc. For
example, you could write, "WIN a VACATION to
Las Vegas!" Another example would be, "Win A ($)
Trip To Las Vegas!"

2. Buy advertising space on discussion board web
sites. They are usually arranged by subject; that
makes them highly targeted. For example, if you are
selling gardening tools, you would want to advertise
on gardening, farm, tool and lawn-related discussion
boards.

3. Create your own web ring. You will gain highly
targeted traffic to your web site and others will link
to your site because they'll want to join the ring. For
example, if you were selling products to net marketers,
you would want to start an online marketing web ring.
You would then draw your target audience.

4. Use free advertising as much as possible. Test a
wide variety of free advertising options like banner
and link exchanges, classifieds, newsgroups, ad
swaps, joint venturing, viral marketing, web rings,
message boards, trading content, etc. Don't be afraid
to try something new.

5. Clone your advertisements all over the Internet
by allowing your visitors to give your online freebies
away. Just include your ad somewhere inside them.
You could also start an affiliate program and pay
people commissions to run your ads. You could also
give your affiliates viral marketing tools to use like
e-books or articles.

6. Create a free e-zine directory. You'll attract a lot
of traffic from e-zine publishers and people who
want to subscribe to the e-zines. Your listings could
include name, subscription instructions, publisher’s
name, etc. Of course you could put your own e-zine
listing at the top of your directory to get extra
exposure.

7. Create an alliance with 3 or 4 web sites. Include
each of your ads or banners on the other web sites.
You will all share targeted traffic with each other.
For example, you would instantly have 3 web sites
selling for you without paying them an affiliate income.
You would just be giving them ad space on your
web site.
