TOP 16 TRAFFIC STRATEGIES

Just because you’ve put up a website doesn’t mean you’ll get any visitors to walk through the virtual door. The more tactics you use to announce the fact you’re out there doing business, the more traffic you will attract. The more traffic you attract, the sooner you will be able to accomplish your business goals.

Below is a list of top 16 traffic strategies – not directly related to search engine optimization- through which you can improve your site’s visibility and increase traffic to your site 100%:

1. ARTICLE WRITING. Write a short, relevant article on your subject of expertise and post it to many of the online article websites. To find these, type “article submission” into any search engine. Your contact information and an inbound link to your website appears at the bottom of your submission. Search engines pick up this link, and your site rises in popularity in search engines.

2. NEWSLETTER PUBLISHING. Keeping in constant touch with your potential customers through an online newsletter will bring you traffic. Providing word-of-mouth viral links in your newsletter can bring you more traffic. You can also announce that you provide (and link to) more free information on your website.

3. ONLINE NETWORKING. Include your website address in your signature when you post to online networking sites or online forums and bulletin boards so interested people can visit your site.

4. BLOGS. Posting information of value- especially information that will start word-of-mouth marketing- to visitors will increase traffic. People are always looking for information, whether it’s about personal experience, product

reviews, recommendations, news about you, your products and services, your company or industry. Well-maintained blogs give visitors a reason to return. As you post compelling content, visitors will want to see what’s next from you.

5. POST TO OTHER BLOGS. Find other credible bloggers in your niche, and then comment regularly (and intelligently) on their posts. Most blogging platforms allow those who comment to include a web address. You can also find blogs that have a stable of contributors- see if you can become a regular contributor.

6. E-MAIL SIGNATURE LISTING. List your web address at the close of every e-mail you send. People are familiar with signatures as a source for contact information, and software makes it easy to automatically add a signature to every e-mail you send. Think of how many e-mails you send; each is an opportunity to generate traffic.

7. INVITING VISITORS TO RETURN. Give visitors a reason to return to your website. Offer e-mail updates, alerts and special offers to keep your visitors coming back on a regular basis.

8. ONLINE PUBLIC RELATIONS. There are many sites online where you can post press releases. Include your contact and site information, and interested readers will click through. Search engines will also find that link.

9. TRAFFIC EXCHANGES. These are similar to link exchanges. You spend time on another person’s website. As you view these sites, you earn credits you can use to display your site (impressions) to another person. Search on “traffic exchanges” to learn more about this tactic.

10. OFFLINE MARKETING. Publish your web address anywhere and everywhere you can- cards, letterhead, envelops, print ads, signage and brochures.

11. MARKETING HOOK. Offer things like a free ebook, free entry into a contest, a free subscription to an online newsletter or e-course, free admission to online seminars or free content for reprints.

12. WORD-OF-MOUTH TRAFFIC. Word of mouth is extremely effective, so much so, it has spawned its own association, WOMMA or Word of Mouth Marketing Association (womma.org), dedicated to online word-of-mouth strategies. Offer your site visitors an opportunity to share what they discover on your site with others. Providing a customer opinion platform for your products and services can bring you testimonial benefits.

13. eBay. List items for sale on eBay, and in the subscription of the item, mention your website. Use this as a way to get more customers to your site.

14. FACEBOO, LINKEDIN AND OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES. Use these sites to promote your product, service or website- but be careful not to be too direct. Social networking site users hate when people use these sites as a platform to sell.

15. CONSIDER USING LINKEDIN. This is a business version of Facebook (though they are not related in any way) where businesses and professionals can network and do business with one another.

16. DOMAIN NAME. Try to find a domain name that describes what your business is and what users can find on your website.

MORE TIPS:

Create a Google Adwords ad directing people to a landing page other than the home page of your site. The landing page should relate to your overall site content, but it doesn’t have to.

On the landing page, have links to affiliates that you have signed up with. Then earn a commission from all the clicks that result in sales to those affiliates.

Understand everything that you can about search engine marketing and search engine optimization.
