Now that you have a website, you want to get eyeballs looking at your website but how do you do that? While there is tons of advice out there, I'm going to tell you why its simple and how to get it done. Use these three tips to gain popularity on the web_

1. Make sure you are on the search engines

Getting on the search engines is vital to your popularity. You want to rank as high as possible for the search terms that are both obvious and not so obvious. Get creative to find the search terms that you want to rank for. Think not only of the main, competitive terms but also of the longer, less searched terms. For example, if you are selling handmade guitars, don't just try to get found for 'guitars'... there are thousands of websites after those terms! Instead, go for something like 'handmade guitars online' or something similar. You can realistically achieve ranking for that term. Sure, you won't get the millions of hits you'd get from ranking for 'guitars' but its much more achievable. The WebStarts Traffic Booster will help your website get traffic as well.

2. Get involved in web 2.0

A web 2.0 website is something like facebook or twitter. Setting up a profile for each one of the social sites is going to benefit you greatly. You will benefit from the community you achieve by being involved in social networks and the search engines will reward you for participating online. Don't stop at facebook and twitter though! There are tons of services out there. Create an account on youtube, blogger, flickr, squidoo, wikihow, and anywhere else you think you can participate.

3. Offer a reward for referrals

Customer referrals are vital to your website's success. Its very simple. Its going to be much easier to get one of your satisfied customers to share your site than it is to get a brand new customer. This may not always be the case, but almost definitely when you first start your website. Try offering a discount for future services if they refer someone to your product. Something like 'get 20% off your next purchase for you and a friend if you refer a friend' or 'refer a friend and get a $200 coupon!'. Studies have shown that when people love a service, they want to share it with friends and family. You need to take advantage of that.
