1. advertise. its really the only way.
2. put a load of porn on it
3. Advertise it on any porn site, and you'll see how many hits you'll get after you do.
4. Flyers can do. Also you can post on adgridwork (its free) but you have to post Ads on your websites as well. Get an old t-shirt and advertise your website on the t-shirt. Go to the library tell people about it. go to the bank and give flyers out there.
5. there are entire industries dedicated to trafficing your website. That COSTS - If you want to act ethically - join a web ring. If you want to be a BUTT HEAD - cheat and advertise though SPAM and WEB tricks. Like HERE - and NO - I'd never do that.
6. My friend just posted a lot of blogs, bulletins or major websites. Myspace. Here (Yahoo) Facebook (highschool) posted posters around her local city, the highschool, the library, store, etc. place an ad or visited site; it wouldn't be that much money to keep an ad for about an week. she only had $500 to start off, and she did this and she got 30000 viewers in 2 days.
7. 1. Don't forget update your website 2. Submit to search engine 3. Promotion via free ads service 4. Promotion via email marketing
8. Consider placement of various critical SEO [Search Engine Optimization] metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published websites at Google and Yahoo. Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them. A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots. Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material. Placement of Metatags: A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name. The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 41 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services. And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory. Good luck!
