A thief's heart never dies; those willing to do publicity may come in.

The Propaganda Department is gone, but there are always some experienced people who have summarized their insights for everyone, so make good use of them! Use them well!
\ 1. Forum Promotion The forum promotion mentioned here is definitely not about posting ads one by one in forums, nor about adding your website address to your signature and spamming, which is both exhausting and not necessarily effective. Forum administrators can delete all your posts with just a few clicks and even block your ID, and such actions create a negative impression, like sending spam emails which are annoying. Once, on a certain forum, I saw a much smarter method of promoting a website. It was a small site providing job search, employment, and study materials. Their promoters turned various articles on the site into links and categorized them, then posted them across different forums. This not only provided convenience to those who needed the information but also avoided being deleted due to overt advertising, making the promotion much more effective. Posting these materials in sections of forums that align with your site's focus will definitely generate many clicks.
2. Tieba and Shuoba Baidu Tieba and Sohu's Shuoba can generate traffic comparable to clipping sites. If used well, the traffic could even exceed clipping sites because this promotion method is more persistent. As long as your posts aren't deleted, you can just bump them occasionally. When posting, you can't leave your website URL directly, as it will definitely be deleted. You must post a related article link, or part of an article or image, and then add a “more” link directing users to your site. Additionally, Baidu Zhidao (Q&A) deserves special mention—you can change your username to ask and answer questions, and select your own answers.
3. Blog Promotion I saw this on the Webmaster Information Forum and thought it was really creative. Although it's a loophole exploitation, it is indeed very effective.
4. Registered two Chinese domain names, consisting of 2 keywords, with a Baidu search volume of 500-2000. About 20 people enter the Chinese .com domains directly through a browser each day. Even without installing a plugin, they can access it. Without a plugin, visitors first see a setup prompt page; choosing 'No' goes to the site, choosing 'Yes' installs the plugin and then goes to the site. Registering commercially valuable keywords is not a loss—120 yuan per year brings 7,000 visitors annually, which is about 2 cents per click. The key is that it also secures a domain, which might become very valuable once promotion begins.
