Free Ways to Promote a Website
There are free ways to promote your website if you are just starting out and need something to get you started. These are simple things you can easily do yourself without having to pay for anything or anyone to do this for you.
Work on SEO
One free and good way to bring the traffic to your website is to work on your SEO. All you are doing is either writing your website content with SEO practices in mind or hiring a professional writer to do it for you. If you are just starting out and want to do this yourself before hiring someone, you need to make sure your website content has your keywords in it. Remember not to keyword stuff but to also ensure there are enough keywords or keyword phrases in your website content to bring the traffic to your website. If you try it yourself and it doesn’t work the way you need it to, hiring a writer with SEO experience might be a good investment.
Back linking and Social Media
A couple of other free things you can do is back linking and social media work. Back linking is simply writing articles on other websites and leaving a link back to your website. Using social media is simply posting a short blurb with a link back to your website on popular social media sites. These are both good and free ways to promote a website.

Great advice. You work hard to attract visitors to your site, but the reality is that most of the people who visit your website don’t become customers. They probably need more time and information before they make a decision. If you can get their email address, you have another opportunity to convert them into a customer by engaging them with additional information. That’s why point 4 above is so important.

Hi, Jeffrey. What types of things are you planning to try? Have you tried anything that did not work?
This is a mix of some good and bad tips in my opinion for SEO. The free ones are good but I feel that the link research tool while it has a few good features doesnt compare to Ravel Tools – More info here – http://1-3.me/seotoolpost
This just has a dashboard full of options and has been worked on for many years to gain perfection.
Thanks for your comment, it will be usefull for some readers
