one of the old and popular ways to promote your site free is thorough web directories and article directories. Web directories are directories of various categories containing website URLS and listings. Article directories are those site directories that containing various categories where you can publish your articles.

There are countless web directories that exist all across the net, submit your site to these directories, to get links to your site. Most of those web directories are free and they won’t charge you anything, while others ask for “reciprocal linking”. What matters most is that a site is linking back to your site. If you do this with hundreds of good web directories, you would have that many sites linking back to you. By doing so, your website’s link popularity will increase. Link popularity or link juice is the number of links pointing back to your site so the more links, the higher their PR, the better. Link popularity is also one of the basis on how search engines rank your site. If a search engine sees that your site has high link popularity, they would see your site to be important, and rank you higher.

Articles directory sites help a lot to increase your site get traffic. Submitting to article directories provide a great chance to promote your site through the resource box or author’s biography. Like web directories, many article directories exist, majority are also free. If your site is lacking content and you want people to regularly visit you, use these free articles as your web content (always include the author and source). With your site having more content related to your business feild, more traffic will eventually come to you.

The above two ways help in boosting your link popularity, page rank, and traffic. In addition to these submissions, you also can try getting inbound links through forum participation and link partnership with other websites.
