Building Your Web Site

 

Promoting Your Web Site

Now that you've published your site online, how do you let the world know it exists? Here are a few ways you can get the word out.

 
  Email Your Friends and Family

If your site is targeted toward friends and family, a simple email to everyone who might be interested in seeing it is usually all you need to do. Simply copy and paste the URL from the address bar of your Web browser into the email message.

Submit to Search Sites

Some of the most popular sites on the Web are search sites like Google and Yahoo! That's where Web surfers go when they want to find sites about a particular topic. You can improve the chances that your site will be noticed by getting listed at a search site.  Try our traffic blazer software for a quick and easy way to get listed and monitor your submissions.

To get listed, though, you have to know how search sites accept and rank the sites they list. The following online tutorials have all the details:

Join a Web Ring

If your site focuses on a specific hobby or interest, joining a web ring can help you meet other web site publishers and Internet users who share your interests.

A Web ring is a group of sites focusing on a common topic. The sites link to each other so that visitors to one site can navigate to other sites in the ring. Examples of Web rings include sites like the Puzzle Ring. Because these sites usually require that you insert a customized Web ring navigation menu in your page, however, you'll typically need some basic knowledge of HTML to join.
