Question

Is there a free way to promote your web site?

I just started a blog a week ago where I review random things, and I wanted to know if there's a free way to put my site into search engines, etc. There was when I was younger, and know they want you to pay? C'mon.

There are plenty of ways to promote your blog that will not cost you money. They will cost you your time and labor, so you can't really say they are free. Since your promoting your blog, the first thing that comes to mind is participating in the blogosphere conversation by commenting on other blogs that are within the same subject matter. Every comment you write gives you an opportunity to put a link to you blog. The same goes for forums, and social media... For more information just search for those terms on your favorite search engine...

If you can play Play4Traffic's game and land on the high scores list they'll put your website up. Also, make a myspace for your site. It sounds weird to make a myspace for a site, but it'a lot easier to advertise through myspace than it is with just a regular site.

jwserra offers some good advice. You should also make sure that your site is fully-optimized for the search engines. Pay close attention to having the right meta tags, most relevant key words, and so on. Then email everyone you know and have them google search and visit it. Have them email everyone they know, and so on. In other words, try to generate as much organic good-will traffic as possible to improve the search rankings. There are more tactics you can use depending on the nature of your business. Got more questions about marketing your small business? Just stop by www.askasimplequestion.com and ask!
