Here are 5 tips to use to generate more traffic to your web site or Myspace page.


5 Tips to Promote Your Music Website or Myspace Page

1. Join Forums

Join forums that you like and participate in discussion. Put your URL in your forum signature, or create an animated banner that links to your website. Here are 9 Music forums.

2. Comment on blogs

Leave good comments on blogs that you like. Many blogs ask you to enter your name, email address, and web address. This is great because this gives you an opportunity to link back to your site. Also, when more websites link to your website, you will have a higher search engine ranking. This will make it easier to find your site through search engines.

3. Leave Comments on Myspace

Posting bulletins is great, but the bulletins boards are overly spammed and ignored by many. Take time to leave a comment on someone’s page with some kind words, and hopefully they will check out page, and my Myspace name happens to be my URL that hopefully check out.

Note: Myspace takes a long time to load as is, so when someone post a big banner/image that makes the load time even worse. I delete the message, and don’t’ check out the persons profile. So please don’t do this.

4. Join Social Communities

I’m not picking one more then the other, but there are a lot of online communities you can join to possibly generate more traffic. A lot of the sites allow you to enter your URL in the profile.

The goal of joining these additional communities is to become a active member, gain friends and interest, and getting them to come to your site.

Here are some social sites I think you should look into:

5. Make a Youtube Video

Well don’t just make a video for Youtube, there are plenty of other video site around.
Start a video blog, make some beat making video, do a music video, do a tutorial. Do something. But make it entertaining, and put your URL in the video and on the side bar of the video.

Good tips to shooting some videos

NOTE: Do Not SPAM!

People hate spammers. I hate spammers. Don’t Spam! Don’t post a million Myspace bulletins of the same thing, don’t just post a crappy comment to post your URL. By doing these things your are building a bad name for yourself and the URL you are posting. So STOP IT!!!!

PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK.

    Great article. Love your writing and all the research you do to get great material. I may not be truly focused on being a producer but a lot of your tips I have applied to my own website if I haven”t thought of them before… which most I haven’t.

    Good article, direct and to the point. Social networking definitely seems to be the name of the game in promoting your site. Useful content that updates frequently also can not be overstated to get repeat visitors.
