There are many different ways to market and promote a website, each with their own pros and cons. Some cost money and others are free. Here are my top methods for promoting a new website online.
StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon has the potential to send thousands of visitors to your website in just a few hours. More information on StumbleUpon here. SU traffic is often not very targeted and may not stay around on your site for very long. The Adsense CTR is also not very good. But it can increase your sites Alexa rank and possibly create a few returning visitors.
Articles
I haven’t done a lot of work with Article promoting. But this technique involves writing lots a articles (preferably related to your site) and then include a link back to your site somewhere in the article. Once you have a good set of articles written you can submit them to multiple article sites.
Links
Paid links can work sometimes and other times they can be a complete waste of money. The trick to buying links, is to purchase them on targeted and related sites. So if your site is about dogs. Think about purchasing sites on Dog Food, Dog Sitters etc. You can purchase links directly with webmasters through various forums such as DigitalPoint, or use a network like TextLinkAds
