Info: Promote Yourself Through CSS Galleries

Posted on March 22, 2008 at 12:01 am as Information

How do you get your new site in front of thousands of people? The best and easiest way is to get featured on CSS galleries. Being featured on CSS galleries can give you traffic increases of up to 5,000 uniques a day that last for several days. Once the initial spike ends, you will continue to see several hundred visits a day. CSS galleries are quickly becoming one of the first places professionals look when trying to find talented web designers.

You could randomly submit your site to one gallery and more than likely end up on many more. However, if you take a more structured approach to your submitting, you end up getting featured on more sites. There are some galleries that want to be the first to feature you, and probably won’t feature you if you have already been seen on too many other sites. The key is to submit and get listed on these first, then follow with the less picky sites. DesignReviver has a great list of CSS galleries and the order of submitting it, please view Promote Yourself Through CSS Galleries.

Hello,

Unless your site is CSS related, is this really worth it? You will get a visitor spike, bu then what? Take my site for example, it is not CSS related - and ignoring that fact it doesn’t look nice enough to be on a CSS gallery anyway - how would I benefit from the CSS gallery visitor rush?

I guess it may result in some links but they are certainly not going to be relevant in that the sites linking to my site for its CSS layout are unlikely to be in my niche.

I guess, for new sites, it is a way to get some initial links and get into the search engines. I suppose this comment boils down to this question: In a search engine, is a link to a non-relevant site worth more than no link at all?

Cheers,
Steve.

I totally agree with this post, this is vital to getting your site exposed. Use CSS galleries to your advantage…. it will give you new visitors as well as it will help showcase your work to the internet.

Steve: I believe it will really depend on if your site is somewhat related to the gallery itself: design. If it’s a nice-looking website with plenty of resources and updated frequently, I’ll bet it’ll get a new site some initial subscribers, loyal ones at that.
