Knowing what you want

If you've got a few pennies to spend then you may consider buying some advertising online - either within a newsletter or on a website.  Before you do, ask for details about the target audience, number of visitors and if there is any kind of online reporting available so you can check click-through rates and performance.

You need to research online the type of websites and newsletters you'd like to advertise on and then find websites that offer those kinds of advertising options.  It's best to start of with a goal of what you want to achieve, set a budget of how much you can afford THEN go out and look for opportunities.  Knowing what you want first makes the whole research process a lot easier.

All the methods we've mentioned will help bring you more traffic, some cost money whilst others take more time and effort.  Make sure you only go after traffic that is relevant to your site.  There is no point advertising or buying PPC ads on a Tennis site if your site is about home decoration - the two subjects have nothing in common and you'll waste time and money.

Only promote your site where you know your ideal visitor is likely to be found.  Once you get that visitor to click through to your site then you have to make sure your site is set up to effectively sell them the products you're promoting.
