Have you found that the hardest thing about getting traffic to your site is the fact that you don't even know where to start? In this article I want to show you the best places you need to be using to promote your website so you can maximize your profits.

Here Is What Not To Do:

Before we get into the best places, I want to show you what you need to avoid so you can save yourself a lot of problems and a lot of time.

#1 - Posting links on forms and chat rooms: This is a great idea, but the problem is you have to keep doing it day after day.

#2 - Using classified lists that you have to always update. They sound great and you can get a lot of traffic, but you always have to be updating things everyday.

#3 - Web 2.0 sites & social media networks. These are great for networking with friends, but you have to realize that the conversion rates from these types of sites are not very good.

Here Is Where You Need To Go If You Want To Promote Your Site:

#1 - The first thing you need to do is make sure you have narrowed down your niche enough so you can focus on attracting a small group of people.

#2 - Start buying up banner ad space on small sites in your market that are looking to sell space for cheap. This is a great way to get more visitors to your site as the sites you are buying banners on usually are getting a good amount of visitors.

#3 - Start writing articles! This is a great way to get people coming to your site right away. Not only that, but once your article is out there it can get you visitors for years to come.
