10 Free Tips to Get More Traffic to Your Website

Tips that will increase your website traffic.

1. Unique Content

Write articles and publish them to various WEB 2.0 locations. Some effective places to submit articles are www.ezinearticles.com and www.goarticles.com. Make sure that your content is interesting enough to get people to read and compelling enough to make other webmasters want to syndicate. A single syndicated article can bring you thousands of interested visitors AND provide valuable back links

2. Answers

Spend some quality time at http://answers.yahoo.com. Participation in this arena can be invaluable. If you answer questions in your chosen niche you will certainly find a steady stream of interested netizens clicking through to your website.

3. A Forum for your thoughts

Locate forum discussions that relate to your specific interest or to that which you are promoting. Create discussion threads and participate in those started by others. Do no use a forum specifically to “advertise” for your product or service, but rather let interested users follow your lead because you are providing something substantial and worthwhile to the group.

4. Blogs Comments

Search the web for blogs run by others that fit your niche. Submit quality comments and your efforts will not only be appreciated but will yield you an increase in very targeted traffic.

5. Testify is you like it

If you have used a product or service that performed well for you, write a complete and honest review. Send this review to the website promoting that product and ask that they provide a back link to your site when the review is published.

“I recently had one of my reviews published in a newsletter promoting a certain product and I received over 10,000 visitors to my site in less that 24 hours. The best thing is that of those new visitors, over 500 of them made a purchase.”

6. The pong of PING

Let the rest of the net know that you have updated your blog by issuing a ping notice to blog directories. Some of the best ones are www.pingomatic.com and www.pingoat.com. You can also download a free program called BlogPinger 2.0 at http://www.powerpagematrix.com/free-marketing-tools.html. This program will ping your blog to a list of directories at an automatic interval that your set.

7. Easy SEO

Brad Callen is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to SEO and you can learn the basics from this e-book for FREE! http://www.homebiz-direct.com/seo-made-easy.pdf

8. Keywords are KING

Optimize your website or blog for several different keywords and phrases. Keep in mind that some very competitive single words or short phrases will be difficult to get high ranking, but think about long-tail phrases. What do you think will bring more qualified traffic, a top listing for “Ford” or a top listing for “where to buy a used Ford Focus in Montgomery, Alabama”? Obviously, if you are selling used cars in Alabama the latter would be a much better position. Granted, the former would bring more bulk traffic, but if you are looking for the best way to drive highly targeted traffic you will want to embrace the long-tail key phrases.

9. Get on the LIST

Free ads on sites like www.craigslist.com can be a very good source for both back links and targeted traffic. Explore the web for other free classified sites and use them to your advantage.

10. Press the Presses

All marketing campaigns in the “real world” begin with a press release that informs the world of the arrival of a new product or service. Why should your internet marketing efforts be any different? A well-written press release that gets picked up by a few of the top PR sites can bring in loads of traffic.
