Site marketing:
Promoting your site to increase traffic
If you have an excellent website with no visitors, your project has been unsuccessful. With millions of sites to visit, how will your target audience find your site? Your site’s promotion and marketing is critical. Marketing your website is an ongoing process during which you may want to integrate a combination of traditional offline forms of marketing with new online opportunities to drive people to your site.
Target audiences can be encouraged to visit your website, for example, when they encounter a print, television or radio ad and are invited to participate in contests or interact with your business in other online ways. Including a domain name with all of your offline marketing material and advertising helps make people aware of your site.
Registering your website with — and optimizing it for — search engines (google, yahoo, bing), while ensuring that it is listed in business and industry directories can help to increase traffic. Additionally, consider using the following online tactics to drive people to your site:
- Banner advertising
-
Banner ad space on websites frequented by your target audience. Banner ads can be displayed horizontally across the top of a website or vertically along the side to further drive your audience to your site and message.
