Is it possible to popularize the website without any advertisement?

When you customers do not have internet access and you crate a website for them, that might be a 'little' problem.

That said, the issue here is mainly if you need advertisement to get visitors to your websites.

The thing is that if you look to Internet marketing, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and other methods are called more accurately Passive Internet Marketing. Web 2.0 is Active Internet marketing.

That means as follows:

1. Get a good working, attractive website with full abilities that visitors can interact with each other and the site owners; take also care that the site owners are visible and very active.
2. Go to the social networking sites and announce your site and start making 'conversations' on those sites, so that people will get curious (people who are interested in the subjects of your site)
3. Take care that you write good articles about your website and publish those also in the social networking sites
4. Go to forum and talk about interesting (funny, informative, angry, unique) things and refer indirectly to your site (otherwise it is advertisement)

When you do all the above things and traffic comes in, monitor the traffic in detail. Who is coming in, are they leaving immediately, which pages are popular and which pages are not, react instantly and make changes to the site. Ask people their opinion about the site to get ideas and show people that you care.

Your approach of your site must be for the visitors, not for your own ego. Make it a community site.

That is what I do and after the forum went up, within hours I had traffic and after some fine-tuning, the site has now more then 4,000 page views (after two days on the air). And I did the above things, I did not even SEO. When the search engines saw my entries in twitter, delicious, Stumble and more, they came massively and started to index the site.

yes i do agree with u if your website contains all the information and related links which is needed to your clients so it will automatically advertised with positive word of mouth without spending any amount

in this rocket age of online marketing, u need to know only one thing to promote your site....

Target Audience.

Then you can simply float url in the concentrated groups on various social networking sites...

it has worked wonders.. it will .. all the time.

U feed the audience with all they want to see... they will promote it.

Yes, a website can be made popular without any advertisement provided the website should talk trusted and good information. I visited the site which was mentioned above, it consisting only primitive information. No specific information is provided in the web site. For some information, links are provided. Instead of the putting a plain links to some other website. Try to get the information and show it in your website and for the reference you can provide the link.

if your website has all d elements dat people seek in them today it will automatically advertise itself n become appealing to the masses..

Though there are many a forms of advertising, website is surely one such platform that can be popularised without use of any form of advertising. Strong content and worthy reading / referring material with some push at inter-personal level would make a mark. Time would be the only element one has to be prepared for in such a case.

Good refer it is Kashif, but just a point to mention. IBIBO had undertaken a radio blitz and print campaign, though not too worthy to write about, but still had spent some moolah on being where it is this day.

Hi..Good topic to debate on.

Now a days everyone wants the variety of information,data, resources together,so if we provide some

good and informatic but related to the site domain, because it will add more users to hit the site.

Hi prasad good debate. Yes it is possible to promote a website with out advertising. One of the powerful ways is thorough word of mouth. Many popular web sites today have not used any advertisement to attract the people. It is it purpose and importances which made people to use it. It your site is really an informative one then you don't have to do advertise.   

Thanks......

Yes it is possible.
