How to drive traffic to a minisite?

[mtford]

OK, so I have set up my first minisite. But without any traffic, a minisite is not going to generate any revenue. How should I market my site? Is it worthwhile paying for a professional link building service?

Gain traffic from search engines. SEO your minisite but don't resort to blackat SEO methods since Google and other search engines can penalise your website.

I know there are a lot of link building techniques out there.

But all i did to mine, was just add and add more and more articles. The more article pages you write, the more keywords get indexed once the Google spider visits your domain.

Just based on my experience, my site was gaining traffic and saw that most people found my domain from Google searches, than by typing my domain name directly on the browser. And my minisites don't even have any links. Just content. The thing is, always put a sitemap or a navigation menu on every article page you make. So that if the user is not satisfied with the page he has visited, he can easily navigate through the other pages in your website. Some sort of trying to advertise the other articles you have written.

Updating the content in your minisite, is intended for repeat visitors to get them to visit you again. Before you know it, your minisite is slowly becoming a full-blown website.

I dont think Made-for-Adsense sites will make any money if there is too much competition. The keyword should have low competition. And I mean, very very very low

google search: "allintitle:[insert keyword here]"

you should go for terms that have under 50,000 results

link building does help in SE traffic and better page ranking

What about social bookmarking? Lots of SEO companies advertize that they will create hundreds of links on social bookmarking sites. Does this help to increase page ranking on Google?

I would suggest to use a youtube. Make a nice video of yourself or get a hot chick to do it for you, and splash it all over video hosting sites. Then provide links to your site and it should work.
