You don’t need to pay, to advertise your web site.

Would it help to advertise?  Yes it would.  Do you need to pay for it?  Not really, if you know a few tips.  Bellow, you will find 5 clever ways to advertise your web site for free.

1. Link exchanges.

Exchanging links with other quality websites related to yours is a great way to increase traffic  and your pagerank. You will find many quality websites offering reciprocal links.  Put their link to your site and let them have yours. Every link you have on another site will send you visitors, not to mention, that it also increases your sites credibility.   http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com

2. Search engines.

Search engines are probably the best way to attract traffic to your website. To successfully get visitors from a search engine, you will have to optimize your site for search engines with the correct meta tags.  Pick different but specialized relevant keywords and phrases.  Avoid general terms and try specific terms/phrases, which can be more easily won over. Of course, specific terms/phrases will not give as much traffic as a more general term/phrase would. For this reason, you will  need to come up with lots of more specific ones.

Make sure to submit your website to the biggest search engines, like Google, Yahoo and Msn.

3. Directories

Directories are a great way to easily gain exposure and pagerank but they don’t provide as much traffic as the other options.  There is one directory that may be the exception to this rule, and that one is www.dmoz.org.  The Open Directory Project, is a highly respected human edited directory of websites.  Google and many other search engines use its data in their results.  A listing at Dmoz.org is like a listing in multiple search engines.  This is a non profit organization, so there won’t be any paying for listings.  Quality content is your best asset to be listed in Dmoz.

4. Forums

To generate traffic, you can also join forums on specific topics.  Every forum user could be a potential visitor for your website.  Put a link to your website in your signature and post your comment.  Every post you make will have a link to your website.  Very soon, there wil be many links to your website and relative visitors.  Make sure, however, that your posts aren’t spam and try to make them as useful as possible.  Search the web for popular forums to sign-up and send your posts.

5. Social bookmarking websites.
