web pages, in fact in every page of your web site. For example, my web site is a free tutorial web site for Visual Basic programming, so my META tag includes the following keywords
"FREE Visual Basic Online Tutorial, Visual Basic, VB, VB, VB tutorial, Visual Basic Course, Visual Basic Class, VB Script, VBA, Visual basic tutorial, Visual Basic Books, Visual Basic CDROM, Visual Basic Programming, VB Programming, Visual Basic resources, Visual Basic Tips, Sample VB programs, vb6, vb2005, visual basic 2005, visual basic 6, Microsoft visual basic 6Windows XP, Windows Vista, Intel Pentium Chips, CPU, RAM, visual basic.net, VB.net, computer, Java, C++, oracle, e-commerce, e-business, computer notebook, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Visual Basic 6 professional, Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" .You must try to think of all the keywords possible so that your web site can rank high in Google searched pages. My web site ranks first in Google searched page when people search for Visual Basic Tutorial, so I think those keywords could be one of the contributing factors for the high exposure.

The second way to promote your website is to join various discussion groups that are related to the contents of your web site. For example, because my contents are about Visual Basic, so I join the groups such as visual_basic_programmer, Visual_Basic_Languages_for_eve ryone, Visual Basic and so on. Try to participate actively in those groups but be careful not to promote your web site overtly because you may be banned from those groups. What you should do is you can try to solve their problems and lead them to refer to solutions available in your web site. For example, some group members might ask a question about VB programming and I always ask them to refer to one of the tutorial lessons in my web site, in that way I am promoting my site covertly. The main advantage in joining discussion groups is when you send a message to a particular group, all the members of the group can receive it, so the reach is very wide, even global. Another way to promote your web site to search for those web sites that are related to yours and participate in forums provided by those web sites(if there have forums). This is an interactive way to promote your web site to people having the same interest. If forums are not available in those web sites, you can also leave messages in guest books or whatever message boards provided.
