"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.\n\nHere are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\nRecommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nBig Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml \nCGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nHostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm\nTying It Together: SEO For The Big Three http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/seo.htm\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\nHere is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481\n\n6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.\n\n7.

Try getting an affiliate program. MyAffiliateProgram.com has a low cost version, for instance. Then you can sign up people to promote your site and only pay them when they drive a sale; you get the associated banner impressions/branding for free. Affiliate programs are the most cost efficient way to get your brand seen and drive traffic, and many affiliates will even take the risk and buy keywords on your behalf to drive traffic to you.

Carefully track your conversions. Getting traffic is one thing; getting them to buy your products is another thing. Watch how well you are converting your traffic to sales. Look at your website from a customer's point of view - does it encourage sales; does it encourage confidence; does it have a strong call to action? Sometimes, simple things can do wonders for conversion such as putting the BUY NOW button above the fold and using eye catching red color. Experiment and see what works for your site

"If you build it, they will come" .....\n\nThose words DO NOT APPLY to websites.  You have to give your audience a REASON to come.  \n\n* Free, useful information is one way.  How about "10 little known features of Windows XP" or "How to make PDFs without buying any software", or "How to test your Internet connection speed".  Or how about an "Inspirational Quote of Day"?  \n\n* There are lots of places to find FREE content for your site.  It's supplied by cyber-authors that want to promote themselves and THEIR sites.\n\n* Google Adwords does work, but there's a cost there.  If you can afford it, it's worth the money. \n\n* Pay attention to your metatags, keywords, page titles, etc.  The previous answerer gave good info on that.\n\n* Sign up for some free opt-in mailing lists.  You'll receive a lot of junk mail, but you'll have another avenue to promote your site.\n\n* Set up an affiliate program and offer good commissions.  A good affiliate program will give you lots of reps.\n\n* The world's dumbest jokes make their way around the world via e-mail.  Figure out how to use that to your own advantage.  Maybe you can put the first part of a joke in an e-mail, and the rest on your website.  Hmmm.\n\n* Join a free link exchange program.  \n\n* Join some targeted Groups on Yahoo.  Join the groups that seem most likely to need you services.\n\n* Offer reduced rates or reasonable rates to known companies.  Show them how your services are cheaper than hiring employees.\n\nGood luck!

I would go with Google Adwords.  This will get you some targeted traffic (resulting in people wanting to be at your site) and quick.  Be sure to monitor your hits so that you can shut it down when you don't want to spend anymore money.

Getting traffic, especially with your type of website, is not that easy. The key is to analyze your customers and know how they purchase your type of products. Hospital equipment is not something one buys on a whim; it requires a lot of planning and even decision making/approval from several people in your target customers' hospitals.\n\nHere are some ideas:\n\n1. Make every visit count. Getting visitors is one thing; getting visitors who are interested in your product is another. Analyze your website from a visitor's point and view and see whether it is something that will make them buy. Many online marketers think about getting traffic, forgeting the conversion aspect of it all. If they are not buying, ask yourself why and what can make them buy your products.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. \n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. \n\n5. Do direct mail. There are many products that are best marketed offline, and I think this is one of them. Rent mailing lists of hospital administrators and property custodians and send them a mailing about your business, making sure to direct them to your website.\n\n6. Review your PPC strategies. PPC can be very expensive, and you need to track and measure the performance of your keywords. How are your competitors bidding? For some products that require longer term thinking before purchase (unlike products that can be bought on a whim), you may want to bid high on the main keyword (e.g. "hospital equipment") so you generate high top of mind awareness, and bid lower for your secondary keywords.\n\nI have included below some articles that may help you

you need to have more then 1000 a week. This is due to the fact that 99% of traffic is junk, so at least if you have 1000 manual hits then you can claim you have traffic. what is the link?

I don't know of any free hosting plans, but the best ways to get traffic to your site is through good marketing (doesn't have to be expensive) and through search engine optimization.

The problem here is relevancy -- what's to guarantee that the sites you link to and who link back to you are relevant to your own?\n\nWithout relevancy you're just getting random traffic -- this isn't an optimization, it's just another way to lead customers on a walk around the web and annoy them when they can't find what they want.\n\nI'd post more but I didn't read too deeply into the website. It's more work than I prefer to do on this website, and anyway, you'd think that they'd explain the relevancy question in bold type on the front page instead of talking about how much traffic you can get.  That's very 1990's, banner-ad marketing-thought, not at all appropriate for the current age.
