Need Some Good Ideas...

[sikhness]

sadh sangat ji,

sat sri akal...

i was wondering if anybody has any good suggestions on how to promote a website? Somebody mentioned using Google or Adwords, but it's not that type of business website, it's a website based on sikhi? how to get the word out? any suggestions? hopefully a way that doesn't require any or much money at all... i would be ever greatful... thank you all...

- first optimize your site for search engines (google "search engine optimization")

- put it in your signatures in forums

- have a modern(CSS) and unique design(a unqiue forum skin for example). No one wants the same Invision skin or Vbulletin skin at every sikh site.

- Partner with other sites and have them link to you

- Join sikh yahoo groups or things of that sort and send out one or two emails promomting your site

- get a blog for your site and write things people want to read

- have a contest -- give away free keertan tapes from the 80s (that would be so awessome)

What is the link to your website? If you want I can put up a link on my blog and the sikh story contest site. Not that they're very popular sites, but maybe it'll help get the word out.

Yes Paneet,

That would so awesome if you could do that, I would definitely appreciate it. The link is http://www.sikhness.com and a description of it can be found on the main page. Check it out for yourself and see if it's something you would like to add to your blog and the sikh story contest site. Thank you so much...
