How to Promote My Website?

Hello Guys,

I have a website:


I want to promote it and earn from it. I don't have money at the moment to promote it via ads. I made a facebook page and invited around 1000 friends but only 40 odd joined the page. Please suggest some techniques to promote my site without any investment. It will be a great help.

Please do help me.

Thanking you

13.) Set up your website or blog to auto post latest posts to twitter.
14.) Use Q & A sites like Yahoo! answers to build up an authority in your industry. It's possible to purchase an authoritive Yahoo! answers account so you have capabilities to post links. Also possible to create questions within Yahoo! answers and choose your own answers as the best answers using proxies.
15.) Comment on relevant topics within ehow.com and post a link back to your website to get traffic.
16.) To gain visibility in search engines use other content sharing sites like squidoo.com, hubpages.com, zimbio.com, scribd.com slideshare.net, wetpaint.com, Gather.com, Helium.com, Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, Vox.com, xanga.com, and livejournal.com. Alter, or spin the articles using a good article spinner that will spin 50% of the articles to create new and unique content from your current content.
17.) Use Isnare.com to help you distribute content.

21.) Submit all of your RSS feeds using RSS submission tools.
22.) Write and submit press releases on a weekly basis to gain authority and links.

@flexnds - Wow, Great Answer!!

@raryan09 - Those are some great promotional ideas. You should go into the White Hat SEO and Black Hat SEO forums adn look at the sticky threads, there are some good ideas and also some good tools that you can use for promoting and also tracking your efforts. Then just start searching through the forums for additional ideas. There are many other threads discussing many methods that can also help.

I went ahead and tried out your site. I think it is a pretty cool site, but you can completely play and enjoy the game without needing to sign up. Looking at it from the point of being a user, that is of course a much nicer experience, but from the point of getting signups it's not likely to help.

You might try moving the cpa offer sooner in the game. Either right in the middle (fill out this offer to continue the game), or at the end (fill out this offer to see your score), but somehow they need to have an incentive to fill it out. Most people know that there going to have to jump through to many hoops for the actual cpa offer to entice them to sign up. You need to give them another reason to go to the trouble.

You could also build a list by having them give you their email address to see the results, and then after the results still push the cpa offer. You still won't get a lot of signups on the cpa offer, but since you'll have their email you can continue sending offers.

Another thing you could try, if your unable to get more signups even after trying to force it more, is to maybe change your model completely. You have a pretty decent game set up which could potentially get return visitors. Maybe try concentrating on building a great site even more, continue with what you have and add additional games and stuff. Make it a really fun site and then use more traditional advertising like adsense/clickbank/affiliate offers.

You have a lot going for you with this website. It is a pretty good name, you've found a script for a reasonable fun game. If you can add to that even more you could have a solid REAL site. And then do some marketing from that. Or continue with your cpa idea and just make it more mandatory in order to play the game.

Good Luck.
