This is extremely interesting. I never understood how all the interlinks and trackbacks and linkbacks worked. Somehow after reading this, I see how this whole thing is interconnected.

Could I ask, how successful has your stumbleupon venture been? I’ve been stuck on stumbleupon for quite a while but it seems to be going nowhere. Is there something i’m missing out here?

Great tips, I use them all with the exception of mybloglog, even with the glitch you mention they may be worth a try. Thanks!

I have read a number of sites and blogs but this certainly is a different approach compared to the usual tips and methods to promoting a site. This tactics of yours involves alot of socialization. But really, I would advice not to overdo promoting your site alone. Just as Marilyn said, ‘Act Human!’… But generally, I’d approve doing these types of methods on promoting a website.

I realize this post is a year old already. I still agree with most of these suggestions. Especially 2, 4, and 5. Let’s cut to the chase, the golden rule is go where your market is. Hang out in their environment. Get comfortable there. Get to know those people, their behaviors, and their needs. Furthermore, add something of value to that environment. Contribute to conversations, provide insight, provoke thought. And, for goodness sake, act HUMAN! It’s that simple. :)

Definitely interested in using some of these strategies for the short term and long term benefits. I haven’t used MyBlogLog or a Gravatar yet, but I’m going to look into getting these rocking. Thanks!

well…pretty obvious suggestions though thanks for your time! I can predict Twitter’s failure within 3-5 years yet it’s OK now so it is a good place to promote your site – no doubt! You have forgotten other social networks like facebook or Myspace.

Being a newbie is not easy. It’s still quite funny when some of my non-blogging friends think that I blog for the sake of ‘too much free time’. Lol.. well, it’s never an easy work, and certainly not a smooth path to walk all the way till here. The tips provided are well practised, except I haven’t been too active in Stumble Upon, would love to spend some time on it someday.

An added tips, besides Twitter, it’s good to attend forums as well, extra knowledge and networking. Speak from experience. ^^

Twitter is definitely a big one. I wouldn’t have thought that StumbleUpon is a big enough generator of traffic, although I suppose everything can prove useful to an extent. StumbleUpon one sounds like most work and most time consuming one. I would also add that keeping your own tweets to Twitter ought to be on topic and relevant as much as possible. Too many people tweet about their breakfast, which I reckon should not be done.

Twitter are starting to think about charging for businesses to use it, so get the most out of twitter while it is still free.

I registered at Gravitar and I think it looks a little better to have a small picture instead of a placeholder icon. But in studying Google Analytics it looks like a record of the sites I have commented on and Twitter has sent a few also.

[...] I did say these tactics were going to be effective and I keep to my word, think about how all of this interlinks. Whenever you visit a site to leave a comment, you are instantly shown as a visitor on their MyBlogLog widget, just for visiting. Now whenever you leave a comment, besides the traffic you get your avatar is showing next to it if they had gravatars enabled. All your comments and Stumbles are going to be a great way to build up relationships with others which you can leverage for links or promotion help whenever you write a worthy post. When that worthy post is ready, don’t forget to tweet it ;). News Source: http://www.seoptimise.com/blog/2008/09/5-simple-effective-tactics-to-promote-a-new-website.html [...]

This is a great article and was really helpful for me. I found your blog when looking for tips on using Twitter for website promotion.

I recently created a Twitter account, but am quite clueless on how best to use the service for website promotion. It just seems like Twitter came out of nowhere, and now everyone is suddenly using it!
