This therefore is a more effective method of drawing traffic to your website. So by now it is clear that if you have to promote your brand you need to make widely popular your website. The guidelines below will simply help you a little in that endeavor.
Join a social media platform, for example—Digg, Delicious, twitter, facebook or Technorati. Besides the obvious advantage that your website will be looked up as a very ‘in-thing’ it will also improve the ranking and stature of your page in the tech community.
Tag your article in the correct way to increase visibility. Don’t be stupid enough, to tag an article as Acne when it deals with the more specific issue of acne scars. Make your voice heard and opinion counted, by the tactful use of tagging. Focus on quantity as much as you would on quality. Keep on adding articles and white pages so that you give your visitors more than enough to deliberate on.

The most significant requirement is to provide for methods that simplify ‘tagging’ and ‘bookmarking’ for your customers.
This can be done if you provide easy quick buttons or ‘add to del.icio.us’. Allow for tag lists and notes for links to cumulate visibility. Reward the incoming links as a sort of inducement to make them come back for more. This will not only bring in the existing customers but also pull in more traffic, who would want to get rewarded as well. Offer downloadable files from your website in the forms of downloadable pdf. files ,audio and video files and make them available to your customer either for free or at a negligible cost.
