My new website is up and running since 15 May. I have been thinking of using different methods to drive traffic to this site after letting it go live.

There are a few things that I have done or I’m currently doing such as putting the link to my other Bogs and website. This is called backlinking so that search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and so on can find my new website quickly.

I have also submitted my website to Google by using its ADD URL free service but yet to do it on Yahoo and MSN. Anyway, Google is now the biggest search engine so it should suffice by adding my site to Google at this moment. 

Next, I have also signed up a Twitter account recently and the aim is to drive traffic to my website. I’m actively using it to have a feel of how Twitter work. I have around 400 followers within 1 week and I’m also following other Tweeps. By the way, Twitter users are fondly called Tweeps 🙂

Today, I checked the traffic rank of my new website via Alexa.com and I’m glad to know that my site rank around 14.43 millions. I think this result is not too bad for a new website that is only 2-week old. My other older site was initially ranked around 30 millions after a few months!

Well, I will explore some other methods, such as submitting articles to article directories, to drive traffic and see what the result will look like.
