One of the best parts of summer weather is hitting the beach and digging into sand, splashing around and having fun. Promoting your website can be a similar endeavor. Hit the social media sites, dig into driving new visitors to your website and have fun with the process.

Drive Traffic to Your Site

WHSR kicked off June with Lori Soard’s article href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/why-building-an-online-community-could-equal-big-profits/" target="_blank">Why Building an Online Community Could Equal Big Profits. There is one thing all people crave and that is interaction with others. Lori touches on this concept and offers ways website owners can build this sense of community that keeps people coming back time and time again. Get specific step-by-step advice on how to build a community.

Once you’ve built your community, you’ll also want to take a look at who is linking to you. Luana Spinetti takes a look at link building from a marketing standpoint in href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/inbound-marketing/14-reasons-link-building-belongs-to-marketing-not-seo-nor-google/" target="_blank">14 Reasons Link Building Belongs To Marketing (Not SEO Nor Google).

You wouldn’t want to forget about social media engagement, either, and Gina Badalaty covers this topic in href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/socialmedia-marketing/the-top-7-mistakes-in-google-engagement/" target="_blank">The Top 7 Mistakes in Google+ Engagement.

Fresh Content and Reliable Site

Lori Soard’s href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/web-copy-writing/idea-starters-20-phrases-to-help-you-come-up-with-topics-to-write-about/" target="_blank">Idea Starters: 20 Phrases to Help You Come Up With Topics to Write About will get you going on more ideas than you could possibly cover, so that dreaded writer’s block never darkens your blog’s doorstep again.

Jerry Low also offered a guide that helps blog owners clearly see why webhost uptime is so vital to a successful website in his article titled href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/web-hosting-guides/the-ultimate-guide-in-tracking-website-uptime/" target="_blank">The Ultimate Guide in Tracking Website Uptime. Low then takes the analysis a step further, looking at the href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/hosting-updates-news/web-hosting-uptime-review-may-2014/" target="_blank">uptime of several popular website hosts with WHSR’s uptime tracking tool and finding out which one ranks first.

alt="August Roundup: Last Days of Summer" src="http://whsr.webrevenueinc1.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/august-500x150_c.jpg" />

During the blazing heat of August, it is easy to forget that fall is just around the corner. This is a good time to start planning some fall cleaning for your website and to refresh things and get some solid systems in place before heading into the longer winter months. By getting your website in order, you free up your time to write plenty of great content during the months when you’ll naturally be indoors and behind your computer more often.

Welcome Dan Virgillito

WHSR welcomes our newest writer, Dan Virgillito. Dan enjoys writing for startups, established companies and nonprofit groups and helping them with content strategy. His articles for August include href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/seo/lsi-keywords-can-help-your-content-rank-faster/">LSI Keywords Can Help Your Content Rank Faster and href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/socialmedia-marketing/4-ways-to-generate-leads-with-a-premium-linkedin-profile/">4 Ways to Generate Leads with a Premium LinkedIn Profile.

My name is Dan, and I love helping people with words and strategy (especially online).

I’m a digital native who can spot misspellings from a distance and help you storytell your online product, business and ideas better. Simply put, I’m a wordsmith with a touch of geekism (version for beautiful girls and Fortune 500 CEOs: freelance content strategist, yay).

I lived and breathed the Internet since I was 9 and I couldn’t love it more. And hey, it has given me the freedom to live in Sicily, where the sun shines 24/7 and the food tastes better than 98,5% of the world!
