Website promotion techniques are changing a lot with time and nowadays social media marketing is used as a prime tool to target the so called social audience. Initially it might sound that a simple link in a video is not much worth but eventually it works as a good viral marketing tool.

Some of the modern ways i found myself are social bookmarking and commenting, blogging, video marketing like youtube, community site marketing like myspace and orkutting, several groups like google and yahoo. This kind of promotion brings instant result as well as grroms the site for a long term promotion. That means a site made just now can be promoted through these means untill the site ranks well on search engines using other optimization methods.

Overall website marketing is a daunting task, no doubt but putting the right kind of effort into each of these can be worth a million dollars.
