10 ways to distribute a website

And make it popular... You just created a site, no one visits it or, conversely, your site is old, but very little is known how to make it famous? This is possible with some things, some of which require a bit of programming. Here's the list...

1) Catalogues and catalogues

Adding a site to directories is a simple solution. However, when they run a smart campaign, webmasters get a few visitors and a small positioning gain. That's because they're limited to the top ten reference books on the list. The category is selected accurately. A long and complete description of their site is given, which highlights it and differs in each reference.

2) Tell magazines about your site

Many magazines and more often weblogs offer a list of websites to browse. Offer yours. If your site is accepted and presented by a magazine, the number of visits will be huge. This will only last a while, but you will be collecting links that will continue to provide tours.

3) Offer a scoop

Diggy-likes and news sites publish a summary of an article or document on the Web along with a link to the site to search for the full article. Make an original article containing, if possible, exclusive information, you can go to the official sites and collect statistics that can serve as the basis for the article. Or just visit English sites. You're not sure if you're going home, but your text will appear at least on the list of new contributions, and it will do tours, plus the number of backlinks to help you position yourself in search engine results.

If your script is useful, it will bring a lot of visitors.

9) Launch an ad campaign.

You register with the advertising department. Choose a prepayment formula and then transfer the amount you want to spend and you'll never be asked more than you choose to pay. Also set the maximum amount you'll pay per click. You don't pay for impressions and there's usually a click on 200 impressions. So if you set a maximum price of 10 cents, you pay 10 cents every time 200 internet users see your ad.

10) Webmaster

Professional webmasters do this for themselves or for their clients' sites. Look for broken links on help sites whose pages are linked to the site you want to promote. This can be done using the Link Checker (webmaster scripts section).
Send a letter to the webaster that the page has a broken link, and suggest a link to one of your pages instead.
The result depends on how you can submit the request and the webmaster: he can simply thank you or not respond and delete the broken link. At best, it will satisfy your application and replace the link.
