Once you have your site completed, you should then take some measures to make sure it gets noticed.  Here are a few things you can do for free to get started:

1. Submit your home page to search directories.  HostNed has a great page to help you with this.  One click will submit your site to multiple search engines.  Check it out here.
2. Use a special promotion to get free credit on a pay-per-click program.  HostNed customers can use this link to get $10 in free credit to WormPortal.com search engine.  Since WormPortal is a dynamic search engine, your site will not only be viewed on wormportal.com but on many other partner sites as well!  Get your free $10 credit here.

- I am really serious about bringing visitors to my website.  What are the most effective methods for getting the traffic that I want to my site?

1. Make your own affiliate program.  That is where you have many partners all working to get traffic to your site -- the right kind of traffic too.  You pay only for the specific performance you desire.  You can offer $5 per lead, $10 per sale, or 5 cents per click.  It is all up to you.  We recommend ShareBucks.com Affiliate Network, but if you have questions about this or other networks, get a discussion going on the HostNed Forums.
2. Join Google AdWords, a pay-per-click program where your web site listing will show up as a sponsored result in Google searches.
