In order to make profit, you must have a lot of traffic. In here, I recommend ten website promotion tactics you must adopt:

1. Register a Good Domain Name

A good domain name can be defined in two ways: 1. Easy to remember and allow you to build a brand name: Usually it is short, e.g. Yahoo, Visto. 2. Meaningful and improves your search engine ranking: A domain name consists of keywords is not only meaningful but also improves your search engine ranking. E.g. You can register a domain name called internetmarketing.com, websitepromotion.com, and etc. To Visitors, they are easy to remember. To website owners, they can acheive a better search engine positioning.

Some web hosting companies will help you register domain name and allows you park it there with no extra cost. E.g. Virtualis. Domain registrars companies can also help you register domain name. Some of them helps you promote your website, thus, add extra value to your business. E.g. Registrars.com.

2. Make Use of Ezine Marketing

An effective ezine marketing campaign is far more cost-effective than banner advertising. Usually banner advertising's response rate is ranging from 0.6% to 5%-6%. Usually, 1-2% is common. However, ezine marketing's response rate is ranging from 10%-15%. Of course, it's only the case of opt-in targeted email marketing. Thus, you'd better select suitable ezine and publish your advertisement there.

3. Set up Your Own Associate Program

Set up an associate/affiliate program allows you recruit hundreds or even thousands of "pay-for-performance" sales. They will help you selling your products like a crazy. I beleive that it's the best way for you to make big profit. To start your own associate program, you can either install your own tracking software or use an affiliate program service provider.

What's the meaning of a relevant website? It means a site similar to your site or where your target visitors will go to.

9. Exchange Links with Complementary Websites

Send a polite email and ask website owners to exchange link with you. The most effective way is: You add their links in your site before sending them an email. Both site owners get a free promotion. A win-win situation! I tried it and usually it's success. Sometimes, you can find new opportunity through this communication.
