What are your regular marketing activities for a site?
 

This is one for site owners, I am wondering what are your regular marketing activites that you do to promote your sites, on a daily, weekly, monthly basis?

Would be good to see what others do on a regular basis to help promote their sites

Cheers Paul.

Basically once a site is launched the marketing becomes a daily thing. Here's what I do pre-launch and post-launch:

Pre-Launch:
Register with Webmaster Tools in Google.
Insert tracking software (traffic stats).
Make sure Tour/Mem Area is ready for Visa approval.
Add site to my existing network, Tours and Mem Areas.
Once Visa approved, swap out standard CCBill join forms for my own custom forms.
Add site to Epoch for the cascade.

Post-Launch:
Send out emails to existing Members informing them of new site.
Send out emails to ex-Members, announcing new site.
Prepare photos and movie clips for gallery submissions.
Send out tube clips to affiliates.
Add promo tools to the Affiliate Program for Affiliates.
Email Affiliates announcing new site to promote along with links to new tools.
Write Blog posts about new site.
Submit site to link lists.
Monitor stats CLOSELY - tweak Tours using A-B testing to boost conversions.
Look for new traffic sources/create new traffic sources.
Setup Twitter and Facebook accounts, work social media.
Rinse and repeat.....

Hope this was helpful (all this was off the top of my head, I'm sure I've left off a few lol).

Thanks for the few replies - any more contributions welcome :)

I like this thread.
Would like a nice daily routine i could use in mainstream.

[ - ] Go social - more social - Interact with members or other people in social networks.
Make them realize that - since you dont run a solo website - that some manager of it cares about members and possible new members and provide them with the proper support.

"As Gary Vaynerchuck shares in his book The Thank You Economy?which aims to define the impact of social media on our lives and behavior?this radical shift in our economy ?requires that business leaders start thinking like small-town shop owners.? Why? Because social media takes word of mouth marketing to a bigger stage."

[ - ] Add unscheduled content to website from time to time;
[ - ] Give away some renewals random or to the member who shared the most on of your particular post on FB or Twitter.

Btw marketing isn't advertising.
Is making the usar beleive that he will get more than he is paying for - and has proud to pay for it -
