how to promote a new dating website with small budget

Expand Post »
Hi all,
I am the new kid on the block. I am launching a dating website. could u please tell me wht could be the best way to promote that website. its actually a proper dating website not meant for one nite stands and instant hook ups. And thats the reason that i am bit worried about the image and credibility of the website. its meant for all those people who r busy with their life and dont have time for clubbing and much social activities but they wann meet someone. Also meant for all those shy people out there who r bit hesitant to come forward n say hey how u doin?. So please guide me through for its promotion and marketing. Also my budget is small. I hope i`d get good suggestions and advice here.
Thanx in advance

Re: how to promote a new dating website with small budget

The reason you're not going to get many responses is because your question is too broad. There is no miracle way to suddenly get traffic to a new site, and if there was, the person who knows it isn't going to spill the beans

Put a link to your site in your forum signature and post here and on other forums that have your target audience. Do link swaps. Submit to link directories. Set up a Google sitemap. Read read read Lots of good tips throughout these forums.

With a lot of hard work, it IS possible to grow a site from scratch without a financial investment out of pocket. I did it with DaniWeb.

Hi Kuldeep,

What is your budget? And are you targeting any specific user group? Like punjabi dating or whatever?

There are different ways to approach and there is never one golden path for all to follow.

Re: how to promote a new dating website with small budget

Posting to craigslist's personals section is the best way to get some quick traffic to your site.
For long term you have to plan other marketing options too like SEO, forum posting, blog posting, AdWords, social bookmarking, directory submission etc...

Re: how to promote a new dating website with small budget

-keyword-rich text and links
-strong meta-tags
-less/no flash
-alt for images
-specific title tags in both head section and links
-submit to google, yahoo and dmoz
-a profile on a community site (like myspace, facebox, hi5) with an image link in it would help
-lots and lots of text content - forget javascript menus and so on
-google indexes best the sites made out of divs which are held in css classes.

I can't give you here a link to some e-books, but you can find me on <snip>

Good Luck!

Meta tags do not help with SEO at all.

Don't forget MSN.

This is not true. Google judges pages by content, not its quality of code.
