You Built a Website and Nobody Came?

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!

Then you activate your website, put on a stats tracker, and see that
you are the only visitor!

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.
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.

Any more ideas?
