4 Ways to Shamelessly Plug Your Website or Project

Post it on reddit.com/r/ShamelessPlug

If you can dream it, there's a subreddit for it. And if you can't dream it, there's also a subreddit for it. Shameless Plug is a subreddit for showcasing your recent projects. So go ahead, you can be up front about what you are doing. Reddit is amazing at driving traffic to websites. Shameless Plug won't get you downvoted for...shameless plugs, like it will on other subreddits.

Ask friends to post it on their social media

It's one thing if you splatter something all over your twitter feed, facebook, and linkedin. But getting it re-posted, or better yet - posted from scratch by someone else - will be infinitely better for your SEO and for driving traffic. Chances are they will be more convincing than you will, because they are not connected to the project in the same way that you are.

Put it in the comments of a popular blog reviewing a similar product

DO not make it sound like spam. Again, be honest that you are trying to get people to just take a quick look at your new site. If you pretend to be someone else rating your website, it will be obvious to 99% of people and you will probably look like spam to the almighty googlebot.

Check out comparison sites and get your website listed

Sorry to break it to you, but your website is not that unique. The nice thing is that there are many sites, like socialcompare.com, alternativeto.net, and a million other review lists or comparisons for more established versions of whatever you made. So go ahead and list your stuff. It'll get you a few visits.
