Think of your website as a store where you want people to visit shop around and buy. One of the ways to build website traffic is to offer information on topics related to your website.
If your website is about tropical fish aquariums you can write article on tropical fish and then submit the articles to online article directories. When people want information on the subject you have written about they will read your article. Remember to include the link to your website in your article. You want it to be easy for your reader to click and visit your website.
Another way to announce your website is to let your friends and relatives know about your website. Send them an email message with your website link. Ask them to visit your website and also ask them to forward your message with your link to their email list. These numbers can add up quickly.

You can also advertise your website on an online classified website. You need compelling ad to make sure people will take the time and make the effort of visit your website.
You can also join an online forum related to your website. When you answer a question from another forum member you can include your website in your answer or in the source bar. But be careful to build credibility before promoting your website on forums. People do not like it when others come on simply to promote their websites. You may be asked to leave the forum if you come on too strong too soon.
You can run an ad on Google AdWords to promote your website. You can run an ad in the sponsored listings of Google search engine results pages. You do have to pay each time some clicks the link to your ad so make sure you understand how the bidding process works. Some people end up spending a lot of money with little results with Google AdWords so know what you are getting into begin putting out your money.
