Promote your Web Site
You need to let people know about your site so they can visit.
Conventional Media
Give your site exposure by ensuring it is mentioned in any printed documents, letterheads, newsletters, business cards, posters, and so on. It may seem so simple that it's obvious - that's why some people never give a thought to printed material when trying to publicise their web site.
Search Engines and Directories
One way to get people to visit your site is to get listed on a search engine. There are lots of different search engines. Directories will allow you to search using keywords or a by selecting a specific category to narrow down your search. To improve your chance of being listed on these services read about Meta Tags.

WebRings
Another way to get people to visit your site is to join a Web Ring. When you visit a site that is a member of any Web Ring they will have a link to the next member of the ring, and so on. There are a large number of different rings each one has a theme. If your site fits the theme of a ring joining is as simple as filling in an on-screen form and adding the code to one of your web pages.
