Mark G says:
The best way to get people to your site is to tell as many people as you can about is so that they can tell their friends. Another way is to comment other blogs with a similar topic so that when people are reading that blog they will read that comment they will click on your blog. Try creating a funny video and post it on Youtube and other video hosting sites. Some other ways to promote your site are:

-Post it on your Signature in Forums and Emails
-Create a Myspace/Facebook Page and invite Friends
-Classified Ads like Craigslist
-Write Articles with link to your blog in it
-Link Exchange
-Twitter
-Or Post it on Yahoo Answers

I use http://www.wilsonwebsiteconsultants.com to advertise my site. They will also write content for your site if you would like. So far they have been great for my website. I would go with them.

If you are promoting your website definitely add a link to all of the directories (Google Maps, Yahoo Local, Insider Pages, City Voter etc) make sure to include industry specific directories as well.

Links:
Google- https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceL...n-US&gl=US
Insider Pages- http://www.insiderpages.com/advertiser
City Voter- http://cityvoter.com/signup?ca=nca&cad=/...cy9hZGQ%3d

If you haven’t already created business cards and traditional print. Now would be a good time. You should also market your business heavily online.

Here are some ideas for marketing online:
Optimize your site for the search engines (SEO)
*your web design company should have a service which includes SEO
- Add your business to online classifieds (Craigslist is a great example)
- Send newsletters with promotions (i.e 25% off shoes)
- Buy advertising space on websites that your target market frequents
- Analyze your web traffic to determine the best marketing avenue

Many businesses find cold-calling and/or appointment setting a great way to generate leads. This would depend on your industry but a lot of sales and marketing professionals suggest spending at least one hour of your day cold-calling.

Another great way to promote yourself is through local events. Check your local Chamber of Commerce for ways to become an event sponsor. This usually includes a banner or booth at the event and name placement in pamphlets.

I hope that helps!

Everyone likes funny pictures and they don't mind sharing it with others.It's viral.So, If you're selling a health product, then you may create a funny picture about it and put your website's name on it.

Videos are the most famous entertainment on the Internet.People would just love it dues to it's effectivenes in spreading the message. So i suggest you to create viral videos about your product and again put your link in it.
If you got 3 minutes video, then make sure your website's link is visible throughout the whole 3 minutes.If you don't have the neccessary tools to create a video, then you can simply collect 5-10 viral pictures and then convert it into video using Windows Movie Maker.
