The main goal of creating sites, at present, is to attract new customers. However, website promotion can be too expensive, especially in the early stages of development. At the same time, there are low-budget or completely free ways to increase traffic to your resource. The only drawback of the methods proposed in this article is that you will spend more time than contacting a SEO specialist.
Report your site to search engines
The most visited search engines (hereinafter PS) in the Runet are Yandex and Google. Yandex is visited by about 60% of Russian-speaking users, and Google by about 25%.
To add a site to Yandex, use the link https://webmaster.yandex.ru/addurl.xml and follow the simple instructions. If you see information that the site has already been indexed earlier without your intervention, then there is no need to take any action, then everything is OK.
To add your resource to Google, use the link: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools and, similarly to Yandex, follow the instructions. To check whether your site has been indexed by Google's PS earlier, in the search bar on https://google.ru/, enter site: vashsite.ru into the search bar (where vashsite.ru must be replaced with the address of your site).
