<div align="justify"><p><b><u>Promote your site</u></b> </p><p><b>Get linked</b> </p><p>Most traffic to your site would be directed from links that people click at other Web sites. So you need to build your online network and get listed on other sites that could provide a link to your page. You can exchange links with other people by visiting www.123link.com or www.reciprolinks.com. Link exchange involves something called reciprocal links. This means that you need to list a particular site in order to get yourself listed on that site. While choosing a link exchange site, choose one that pertains to your content. </p><p><img src="http://www.hashdot.com/prm.jpg" width="510" height="383" border="0" alt="" /> </p><p><b>Check your stats</b> </p><p>Check your stats and other log details regularly so that you can watch which pages are visited the most and which aren't. This will help you figure out which are the popular sections of your site and you can start providing more of the relevant content to your visitors. </p><p><b>Don't do's to promote your site</b> </p><p> Say no to spam: If you start mass mailing frequently, you can be sure that your site will soon be ignored.
· Submit right: There aren't more than 30 to 40 effective search engines. So don't waste money on sites that offer to get you listed in 500 search engines. Use auto-submitters and then make manual submissions to directories that interest you and are relevant to the content of your Web page.
· Perfection gentlemen: Do not host an incomplete site. If there are dead links or 'under construction' pages, visitors may not return. Complete the site in all respects and then upload it.
· Play it safe: There are a lot of sneaky tricks available on the Internet that claim to increase your Web traffic. Do not fall for any of those. Use normal Meta tags and description tags as suggested earlier in this section.
· Don't stop if you are finished: Site promotion is an on-going process and is never to be stopped. Once URL submissions are made to search engines, make sure that they are working. Check again after a month or as frequently as possible and resubmit URLs if required. Check on services such as link exchanges and banner ads.
Keep updating your pages regularly with newer content and that will keep your site alive and the visitors coming in. </p></div>
