Currently we have several hundreds of subscribers after opening the registration in September 2007. In my opinion it is quite a little. I need your advices in site promotion and attraction of customers (as prospective audience is very large: webmasters, users of social webs, etc.)

Several replies (for example , and ) focus on getting traffic. That is useful, but with only a few hundred subscribers the fastest way to scale is to make the product sell itself and to open distribution channels that require minimal trust or technical skill from site owners.

Prioritized product work: add a live, in-page demo where a webmaster can "try" a widget on a sample site and get a one-line embed or one-click install. Publish small, maintained plugins/modules for major CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal) and host a developer-friendly repo on GitHub so integrators can inspect and adapt. Provide turnkey themes/templates and a simple analytics panel that shows engagement improvements (votes, comments, time-on-page) — those metrics make outreach persuasive.

Distribution tactics that complement traffic buying: partner with theme authors and small agencies (white-label or revenue-share), list in CMS/theme/plugin marketplaces, and create an SDK so third-party developers can ship integrations. Add a lightweight referral token on embeds so new installs can be tied to referrers (theme/authors/agencies). Produce two short, measurable case studies (one blog, one small ecommerce) with before/after numbers to use in targeted outreach.

Measure and harden: instrument the funnel (site visit → demo → signup → active embed → paid) and track conversion at each step. Run simple A/B tests on the demo, headline, and pricing. Technical checklist: asynchronous loading, sub-50KB widget payload, CDN hosting, graceful fallback for no-JS, and explicit privacy controls to meet GDPR/CCPA requirements. A 90‑day plan that builds demo + one CMS plugin + two case studies creates both acquisition assets and proof points to scale paid channels later.

Suggested first steps:

  1. Implement live demo + single-line embed and publish a WordPress plugin.
  2. Create two short case studies with measurable metrics and landing pages.
  3. Outreach to 50 relevant theme authors/agencies with a clear demo and revenue-share offer.

I suggest you should tackle the social networking market for this kind of web hosting service so in social networking sign up to Twitter + Propeller and advertise i.e. advertise different deals you can get and what you can get... stick with it and followers will soon come followed by loyal customers!

Hope this helps!

While doing Social media remove no follow links in the blog it will help to build back link. Do more yahoo answers for your site keyword It will drive more targeted customers.

I would also place your site with decription of services and contet to free classified ad site. These things are full of unique information and web crawlers love them. I would also recomend a free search engine submitter like Instant Booster. As TechCombo said, hit the social networking sites and promote your site with a unique signature. Remember not to spam, people will not sign up on site they are tricked into visiting or expecting something else.

For immediate results, I suggest you opt for PPC/Adwords! If you don't want to spend a single dime, do the usual free promotion techniques like email marketing, PR submission, directory submission, etc.
