What do you do?, need some promotion ideas

[PitRow]

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd start a topic so we all could spread some ideas on how to promote your site (that is what this forum is for right?). Other than the obvious (search engine submission) what other ways do you use to promote your business / site?

Personally I'm into race cars and I sponsor two cars (well one is mine) at our local track.

Hello,

Basically there are several methods available on the market:

SEO - search engine optimization, to get more quality traffic on your websit

Banner advertising - to place graphic ads on different sites, advertising networks

Buying context advertising in several SEs - for example google, overture. Then if somebody write "car racing" your add will be placed somewhere on the result page

Create a forum to attract people around cars, car racing and other topics.
Exchange links with other websites around cars

Always read and analyze your website's logs to get understand what is important for the visitor, what is not. Where are they coming from on your website and so on.

Also a good key to get good results of advertisign campaigns in the internet - IS TO HAVE AN INTERESTING content. It means interesting website. If there is no something interesting then people will leave the website and never come back.
