Website Advertising

Where do people advertise their websites to get them hits? or is that a secret

I have just made a website to try and get me greens, it's only been up a couple of days now and need to get traffic through it.

I have put the link in my facebook and msn, but whats the best place?

How do you get on Google? do bots etc find your site automatically?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

A website is usually found when a search engine spider finds your link on another site and follows it.

The main search engines that you should try and get your website listed in include:

Google
Yahoo
DMOZ
MSN
Ask.com

The majority of smaller search engines take content from the above so if you're listed in the ones I just mentioned, you're sorted.

If you have another website, I'd suggest linking to your new one from there. That's what I do to get traffic to a new site.

make use of free payperclick offers such as msn adcenter and google adwords... information on voucher codes can be found on here with a search!!! I got about 4 greens from the £50 free adcenter voucher on offer.

I have a voucher for AdWords and you have to have a credit card to join (I don't have one)... if I used say... my parents, do you reckon it would start charging them money once the voucher ran out?

Thanks

I think when you use the voucher you must deposit something like £10 (it has been a while since I used adwords...) but they will not automatically charge you after unless you have agreed to some sort option to do so.

When I used adwords I typed the voucher code, and added £10 to my account and when it was all used up was given the option to deposit more, or to just leave the account 'paused' until I decided to add more in the future.

it would start charging but as soon a the voucher runs out just pause your ad campaign and then later on delete the ad campaign. Your account will technically still exist but wont be active so you wont get charged.

I thought it would pause it and then ask you to top up? Unless they have changed it.

well i used my account(s) about 6 months ago i just paused them and then a week later deleted the ad campaign so the account was still running but the ad campaign wasn't. never been asked to top up

get a prepay credit card like idtprime and just put the £5 on there... or a 3vcard, which is a one use only credit card number.. no risk then!!
