For those of us who are webmasters of personal websites, website promotion is not an easy task. The reason is because all the work on my website is done by you alone, such as editing, beautifying, and promotion. For webmasters of personal websites, these are not the most difficult, but the most difficult. The reason is that our investment in websites is often limited. (This article is originally written by Qingfeng Xinying, the webmaster of wyhaha.cn.) Therefore, it is impossible for large websites to advertise in the media (such as Baidu, Sohu advertise on the Spring Festival Gala), so we have to look for free website promotion methods! Here are several free website promotion methods that I have summarized:
1. Email signature. Send your website URL as a signature to your friends every time you send an email! (This is not very effective)
2. Link exchange. Link exchange is relatively difficult, especially for new webmasters. The reason is that because your PR value is too low, no one is willing to exchange friendly links with you, such as the webmaster of a new website like me. However, there are risks in doing so. It doesn't matter for websites with low weight, but it will be worse for friends who rank better for your keywords, because the website with your friendly link may be punished by the search engine and hurt you!
3. Write soft articles. Based on my own promotion experience, add your own website address to the soft article! This effect is better, because a good soft article will be forwarded by many websites, so you can increase external links!
4. Forum promotion. This method is also relatively effective, especially when ranking keywords on Google. I remember that I talked about this in detail in the article "Experience Summary of Using Forum Promotion". Of course, this also has certain risks. For details, please read the article "Experience Summary of Using Forum Promotion"!
5. Write a blog. This method is also very effective. Especially in a blog like Sina Blog, which has a heavy weight and is frequently updated by search engines, it will have a very good effect on new sites being indexed by search engines!
6. Comment and leave messages on other people’s websites. It is said that the effect of this is starting to get worse. The method is as follows: use the keyword you want to promote as the username, and fill in your URL as your URL. This method once ranked better for keywords, but now it can be like this There are fewer and fewer blogs. It seems that Baidu’s HI can do this!
7. Post in Baidu Tieba. The effect is better. This method can directly bring you traffic. The posts you want to send must have attractive content, and then leave the URL you want to promote organically. However, this method is a bit risky, because this is a Baidu product, and most of our website’s traffic comes from Baidu, so if you promote it too hard, you will easily be punished!
8. Answer other people’s questions on Baidu Zhizhi, Sina iAsk, Yahoo Knowledge Hall, etc. The benefits of this method are the same as the Tieba above!
9. Apply to join the navigation website. This is a bit difficult and not easy to achieve
10. Join a friendly link exchange website. After joining, no matter whether there is a website willing to exchange friendly links with you, it can increase your external links.
11. Go to a website with "Alexa Ranking Query" and other functions to query the Alexa ranking. After querying, its website will generate the Alexa ranking page of your website, which is equivalent to a free internal link for you.
Due to time issues, I will summarize it here today. If there is still time, I will continue to add free website promotion methods! The above are all my humble opinions. If there are any inaccuracies, please advise.
