A few websites that my company has been working on have launched in the past few weeks. I’ve got a few “secret sauce” activities that I do whenever I launch a new website, such as:

• Setup Google Analytics
• Install webmaster tools and sitemap for the site
• Bookmark it on some social clipping sites
• Tweet it
• Create a ping.fm account and some of the key accounts that it supports
• Try to create a few incoming links using free directory sites
• Put out a press release

I’d be interested to heard what things you do when you launch a new website.
