Ten Tips For Generating Traffic
So you have a website and you have a product that you want people to know about.
That's nice.
Now what?
Without traffic, and lot's of it. You're sunk.
Here are ten tips for generating traffic to your website.
(1) Commit To A Plan
If this is a hobby, you can feel free to skip this step. However, if like most Internet Marketers you are interested in making money then develop a plan for reaching your niche Internet audience and stick to it.
(2) It's Never Too Late To Start SEO'ing
Even if your site is already built you can start SEO'ing with new content that you ad (like articles& hint hint ;) ). Don't get carried away with this, just add your meta tags description, keywords & title. Your article needs to start with your keyword phrase as well as having that same keyword phrase appear near the top and at the bottom of the article. The best way to accomplish this is by using the bum marketing approach to article writing.
(3) Why Stop With A Website
Building a free blog while linking your website with your blog and back again is a really really good idea. If you create content rich pages (like articles& hint hint ;) ) of interest to your niche audience and link your website and blog together at those pages you will be doing yourself a terrific favor.
(4) Get Social
Today's web is very interactive which means you have to be interactive. Using social bookmarks and building social networks are two excellent ways of doing exactly that. MySpace is probably the most well known while Facebook & LinkedIn are excellent sources to consider in their own right.
(5) Got Video? Creating videos is an excellent way of building your Internet exposure. You can put those videos in different spots like YouTube for optimum exposure and success.
(6) This Links For You.
Both 4 & 5 of this list are excellent ways of getting backlinks to your website. If you search it out you will find that backlinks are more valuable to a website today than swaplinks are. However, that certainly doesn't mean you should abandon swaplinks altogether. Just be sure that those you choose to swap links with are highly relevant and niched to your target market else all your work will be for not.
(7) Writing Articles.
Earlier on in this article I mentioned two concepts.
* Creating content like articles or videos for that matter. * Bum Marketing.
You really need to know more about bum marketing. It' easy, profitable and best of all free.
(8) Be Interactive.
Correspond with people from your blog. Be actively involved with niche related forum and blogs. Use Yahoo Answers to find questions people are asking and provide them relevant useful answers. Whatever you can do to show that you really are interested in a given niche will return rich dividends in the end.
(9) Use Classified Advertising.
My favorite place for this is not Craig's List!
I know. I know. Everyone else seems to love them, but in my opinion they are too restrictive.
My personal favorite is USFreeAds. Especially since they pay you to refer people to them. It is a really sweet deal.
(10) Bookmark This Page.
Bookmark this article as a favorite and refer to it often. Implementing every detail of this list after just one read would be quite challenging. Choose 2 or 3 ideas, run with them and when your ready come back looking for more possibilities to build upon.
Are these the only ten tips for generating traffic to your website? Absolutely not. For example I didn't say one word about the benefits of E-mail newsletters. However, these certainly are 10 good ideas that should not be ignored.
