I often stress on this blog that you must base your marketing strategy on having a great, helpful website. You will waste your time trying to market a bad, useless website.

If you have a site worth promoting, let me suggest a few simple ways to promote it for free.

Forum Posting - You can post on internet discussion forums and message boards. Put a link in your signature, and the other users will click on your link to view your site if they find your posts interesting and helpful.

Article Marketing - You can also promote your website for free by writing articles and submitting them to article directories. Put a link to your website in the bottom of the article in the article bio.

Blog Commenting - When you post a comment on a blog, you usually can put in your website URL. You can use this to promote your website. Make sure you post quality comments, or else nobody will bother to visit your website.

You can market your website in a lot of ways, but I hope those suggestions come in handy.
