The best thing is really to put ads on some other websites, which can get expensive, but it would definitely be worth it in the long run (and after you gain a following you may not need to pay for ads anymore). You also need to mention your website on other networking websites and just plain get the word out there by telling people you know (who will likely tell people they know). I'm sure you know how to keep your website appealing and of course you need to maintain it well or people will quickly stop following it. Also, try to get in touch with other weather bloggers and such... you never know where you'll get with networking! Good luck.

Answer 2

well for starters try to advertise your website on other websites ( which will cost you) but that is the best way. For example some websites allow you to post your add their for some cash obviously the more people who visit that website the more you will have to pay.

Answer 3

You need sponsors. They would be able to help you advertise your website.
But you need to come up with the cash upfront.

Also post it in your blogs or other websites such as myspace or tagged.com
I'm sure you would get noticed.

Answer 4

posting weather alone wont cut the bread. think of something that people will find in your website that they will not find anywhere else like in weather.com, as far as i know, weather.com does a great job and why would anyone go anywhere else. think of something that will make them come back! because come on.. people don't know your website. trying advertising but i don't think it will be worth it. you need to do something that will caught the public's eye. weather alone will not cut it.

try porn with weather. never fails

Answer 5

Hi. I am a web developer and your question has been troubling me also for ages.

First, read my article here: http://stefangabos.blogspot.com/2008/06/…

If you don't want to read it I'll make a short version of it here: "there is no way you can quickly attract traffic to your website unless you know some website owners whose websites have huge amounts of traffic and they write about you and/or put a link back to your site on the home page or on any other very visible area of their website."

You can search the Internet as much as you want and spend countless days looking for the answer. All you will find is about how to make your website more SEO friendly and techniques to get better rankings in pages - subscribe your website to directories, spam on blogs/forums, use viral emailing, link exchange (i listed only some of the techniques that don't necessary require you to pay money).

But I know that you meant more like "How can I attract traffic now?" not "How can people find me in Google if they search for [your keyword] in two years time".

I built a website trying to help people like you and me. It's called 2famous and it's hosted at http://2famo.us . Create your account and become the one in charge with the Internet marketing and your website promotion and increase your web site traffic now. 2famo.us offers a free and unique Internet marketing service: booking websites on the home page of 2famo.us. Over and over and over again. And of course, everything is cost-free and even ad-free. It's not the kind of "subscribe and forget" service. But rather it encourages you to actively promote your website on a daily basis by booking it on the home page of 2famo.us.

The website is newly launched (it launched on June 16th, 2008) but it aims to be the one solution to people like you and me who don't know the people in the staff of digg and we don't hang out with the guys from techcrunch...

Check it out! and...be famous!
