Create a custom 404 page

Create a custom 404 page so that even if someone encounters an error on your site, they are re-directed somewhere nice.
Set up a 301 redirect to take traffic from your non-www address to your www address. See here (http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articl...1-redirect.htm) for more info.
Add a link to your site in the signature of any forums you post on.
Tell your friends about your site. It's free advertising init.
Speel cheek ur stie. Nothing appears more amateur than a site with typos or spelling mistakes.
Test your site and make sure it appears correctly in all major browsers.
Buy enough hosting. No one likes a slow site.
Don't worry about PageRank - worrying about PageRank is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.*
Offer something for free. Free is good. People tell their friends about free stuff.
Tell your neighbours, you never know what contacts they might have.
