How to effectively make popular an erstwhile new and unknown homepage is not a tricky thing to do now. In our age of pop culture where anyone can be a celebrity and anything can become an immediate rage, the meaning of popularity does not depend solely on internet giants like Google and Yahoo. Rather, popularity now belongs to and is currently defined by smart search engine optimization companies, who can thrust to limelight any decent webpage at simple swish and clicks of the magic mouse. Website promotion, a difficulty before, is today a manageable reality.
What is crucial in all website promotion is the concept called piggybacking. Piggybacking is a technique in which a website rides on to a more popular, more recognizable website. It is like jumping on the right horse to get to the finish line, except that the horse is the search engine and the cowboy is the website wanting to promote itself. The implication therefore is, all website promotion will center on putting a site on the face of the search engine map, where users congregate in the most number and at the most frequent times. Besides, search engine’s purpose is to serve as a springboard to all users to get connected to the relevant website they want to visit.
How can a site invite the attention of the search engine? By making themselves present in as many places as possible. Here is where piggybacking is used again. For a website promotion to be effective, the site to be promoted will make its presence be more felt by the search engine by multiple entries and presences online. For example, a site on herbal supplement can put its hyperlink to blogs and forums, or to sites that focus on health and medicine. It can also place some advertisements on sites like social networking systems and product review sites. More entries would mean better presence and a better presence means more chances for users to come across the mention of the site.
Moreover, the search engine works like a radar, soliciting website information and putting them all to a large database. It combs out all relevant sites there is online, all across the globe and all of different languages and content. Now, if the site to be promoted has only one presence (like only the homepage itself), then it will take time for the search engine to detect the site’s presence. What’s worse, the less chances that the site will have to be put to the first entry of a search result, which is the real purpose for website promotion over the search engine. By actively “mentioning” the site elsewhere in the internet universe, the search engine will place the site (to be promoted) to radar screen of the users.
Website promotion, with effective and successful piggybacking, will never be doomed to fail. This is what basically search engine optimization companies are there for, to make sure that piggybacking will work to make out of a website a sensation overnight.

I am going to echo the words of Marketing Ideas above and say that if you build an audience and relationship with this audience, you will have quite a marketing machine built up.
I don’t have an audience like that, yet, it is coming, but Normal Joe over at ImWithJoe.com has a rabid following. That is what I strive to create!
