You built a Great Insurance Website but Nobody Came?

This post doesn't just apply to selling insurance online, but since that's a lot
of what I do, then I think you need to read it!

Actually, this is the hardest thing about selling online. Let's say
you've gone to lots of trouble to research what you want to sell,
obtain a great domain name, and made a fantastic website! You have
great products, simple navigation, and made a very useful resource.

Then you activate your website, put on a stats tracker, and see that
you are the only visitor! Welcome to that first painful stage of
launching a new site!

Here are some first steps you might take to improve website traffic
to your site:

1. Become active in related message boards and forums. Answer
questions, and then post the URL of related pages on your sites.
Don't just spam, but actually give answers to questions. Nobody
will mind if you throw a link in then, or at least put that link in
your signature.
2. Submit your site to search engines.
3. Start A blog and make sure you get your blog hooked up with blog
searches.
4. Explore social marketing.
5. Look for related websites and directories that may link to you.
6. Begin your own social network..i.e a group or forum.
7. Try offline advertising. Put your website on a business card.
8. Put your URL in your email signature line.
