Want more traffic to your site ?
First of all I would thank you for visiting this hub.This hub is all about fifty different techniques that would help you bring more traffic to your site and blog.
I have been doing a research on this topic and this hub has all the tricks that I have gathered during my 2 years of research.Here you would find some exciting and result giving startegies.
Fifty tricks to bring traffic :
- High quality unique content : Try to have good quality unique content.This is the main factor that would help you get more traffic. This means dont copy other site's content .Your content can be a picture , video or a small writing which is informative.But it should be unique.
- Update content regularly : try to bring more content to your site on a daily basis. If you update your site regularly , people would come to find what data is added recently.This step would bring repeated hits.
- Good domain name : Take a good domain name for your site.Make the name catchy.If possible the name should match with the site's content.For eg : If you are writing about games for all people choose a domain name like "http://www.getanswers.co.in/"
- Alt tags in images : Dont forget to give alt tags in images .It can give you good search engine ranking.Alt tags are desciptive tags which appear above images when we place mouse over them. Also give relevant file name to images.
- Organised keyword research : Do some keyword research.Keywords are the words and phrases which people typr into search engine boxes for searching.If your site is based on those words you will naturally get more hits.To find out how much searches happen for a word go to http://www.google.com/trends and type in a keyword and you will get the results.
- Well chosen page titles : Choose a meaningful title for all the pages in tour site.That will give you more preference in search engines like google.
- Proper SEO : SEO stands for search engine optimisation.It means making some adjustments to get your site listed in top positions in search engines.
- Submit to directories : Submit your site address to relevant directories. That can bring a good amount of traffic.Now if you ask me where to submit here are two good directories : www.dmoz.org and www.dir.yahoo.com
- Article submisison : There are lot of websites where you can submit articles for free.These sites have lot of traffic. So there is good possibility that your article will get noticed.This is one such website : www.ezinearticles.com
- Writing articles in newspapers : Write good articles in newspapers.Your articles can reach large number of people.At the bottom of article leave a link to your website.
- Comments in blogs : Remember to leave meaningful comments in blogs.Blog visitors who read the blogs can follow the link you gave.
- Links in online profiles : Add a link to your website in all your profile pages.eg : You can add link to your site in your profile page in hubpages.
- Inviting other people to contribute content :Its a good idea to invite other people to contribute content to your site.This has two benefits. You will get more content.And also these people can help you promote your site.You can ask their help in getting traffic.
- Publish mini course :You can have a mini course in your site.Split the course into many modules and send the link to these pages to people who registered for this at regular intervels. This can help you get repeated hits.
- Participation in forums : Become a member in forums that is related to your site's content.You can publish a post about your site there.
- Signature links in forums : Make sure taht you add the address of your site as signature in forums you have joined.Participate lively in forums you are member of.The more you post topics the more your links appear.
- Remove broken links : Find out if there are any broken links and remove them.The presence of broken links can drive users away from your site.
- Use reliable hosting : Using a reliable hosting is very important. Your website should be up and running most of the time.It should be fast too. No one likes slow websites.
- Using a forum in your site : Using a forum in your site can add interaction with users.It gives opportunity to user for expressing his ideas.
- Offline advertising : Offline advertising such as business cards gaving your website address is a good way to bring hits.
- Yahoo answers : Answer questions related to your site's content and put url of your site in the source textbox.This can get you a couple of hits.
- Refer a friend script : Use refer a friend script. This help users to refer your site to his friends very easily.
- Youtube : You tube is a good way to advertise your site.If its used properly you can get huge hits.You can find a video on how to use youtube to get hits at the end of this hub. MAke sure that you dont miss it.
- Using About Us page :Using an about us page is a good idea.You should have an about us page which explains about you , your motive behind this website etc.This will increase creditability among your wesbite audience.
- Social networking: Many people have been using social networking to get traffic to their site.I got huge number of hits to my website from orkut when it was launched initially.(even before it was listed in google).You can create a profile at orkut at www.orkut.com
- Social bookmarking:Social bookmarking will expose your site to large number of audience.Stumble upon and digg are two good social bookmarking sites.You can create accounts at their site for free and submit your sites there.
- Email signature: This is also a good idea.You can add a link to your site in your email signature.So every time you send an email your site address is also send.
- Free ebooks: Create a free ebookon some topics related to your site.Place links to your site in the ebook.Distribute the ebook for free.If your ebook is too informativethe readers will visit your site following the links in your ebook.

Lots of great tips here, a lot I already use but some I haven't used so far but will look into now. I like the eBay and Amazon profile ideas, they obviously get lots of traffic so have a good potential.
Informative hub - have bookmarked it. Thanks for dropping by my hubpage, and being one of my fans...

"You can find a video on how to use youtube to get hits at the end of this hub." I could not find any information on how to make use of youtube to get traffic and advertise your website
Very interesting and useful. Thank you!
USEFUL, but a little overwhelming for a amateur like me. I've never heard of many sites you mention. Maybe a top 5 or 10 would be best so those of us without a lot of time don't have to tinker around with all of them.
"Good Read!"
"Two thumbs up!"

Wow, you are not only creative but ultra resourceful.....articles like this should come our way- and I believe this hub comes in a timely manner for me who I've just been hubbed- hahahaha- meaning i only have written two hubs and still in a limbo in what to do next or which one to do first....I'll try the websites that you suggested....
Thanks!!!
Very nice collection of information on traffic.
I am using many from them and getting good result.
Thanks for the information.
Wow, you left no stone unturned. I'm a firm believer in your first method. Quality content is important in helping to drive traffic to your site or blog.
Nice hub.
@ F A Williams ,
quality content is the key.no doubt.
Great hub. I'm going to try the directories you mentioned. Thanks for all the info!
@LRobbins,
directories will help you in 2 ways.
1. brings traffic.
2. increases back links.
Very useful information. Thanks. Some strategies I already use for my website, http://www.TheRosellenTeam.com, that are working well.
Thanks for the great information. I am using some of these ideas and will work on incorporating the ones I'm not. Great Hub!
Great tips, just started my own site and frequently refer to this page for advice, thanks.
like this alot. Short and to the point. I have already done some of these and will be trying the others. Many thanks.
Using favicon -- need to get into that, learn to make them well and upload them. Good tips, thanks for sharing!
Wow, you really did a great job on this HUB. I will refer to it often. Thanks
Great info for a beginner like myself. Good layout. Very helpful. Thanks
nice information it will help me thanx!
Yahoo Answers used to work for me, but they keep close tabs on linking to the same domain, so you have to be genuinely helpful in order to make the best of it.
Social bookmarking I've also had backfire on me. If you bookmark your page too quickly on several sites, you can get your page sandboxed for months. I find the best way to get noticed is to link from a page that already has Google's attention, then slowly building up the links over time.
Nice work on this hub.
Great job on explaining how to build traffic! I also have a couple of websites aside from hubpages(because you used this as one of your sources), and I've used social bookmarking and email signatures A LOT. It's amazing how much traffic you can get from them in such a short period of time. Especially Reddit. Here are a couple of my high traffic sites:
Great job! Thanks you for the information

Excellent Hub with some great ideas. I'm hoping that you can expand upon some of those ideas in a future hub. Another great idea is niche research to build keywords around.

Good Hub, Don't forget many internet marketers have a hard time understanding that SEO, and Web 2.0 techniques are seperate two completely different games and approaches
Great Hub. Thanks for the tips and advice. Would agree with the comments about Social Bookmarking.
good hub i learned a few ideas, that i hadn't thought of i teach people affiliate marketing. Great hub, looks like you know what your doing
whoa, didnt realize there were so many things you could do! Nicely done.
Thanks for the great tips! I will try them. I still have one unsolved dilema. I found out that an article which was submitted by me to one article website was published in a lot of websites. So it is no longer original. So how that effect?
nice tips for anyone wanting to play the SEO game ;)
have been doing it myself for years and have to say your tips are very good ones, well done !
Great tips and learned thing I did not think of...

Good Work...Friend...
Wow, Thanks that is just what I was looking for as I am just starting my new e-commerce store. Really very helpful
Nice tips here. Really good for the newbie marketer.
Thanks! I can use all the help I can get...really appreciate it.
Nice concise tips in one place. I recommend someone prioritize the steps so they don't feel overwhelmed.
Your SEO tips are what people think are what needs to be done, but you're wrong, sorry.
It seems as though all you did was copy and paste a bunch of stuff and you have no idea what it means.
Alt tags in images? - No, worthless to search results
Proper SEO means 'making some adjustments' to your site? - No, SEO is a full time job, not a wave of a magic wand
Submit to search engines? - No, waste of time unless by this you mean submitting a proper sitemap
Link exchange? - No, takes too long to get each link and they normally amount to nothing worthwhile. Reciprocal linking is dead.
Here's some things you said that are true, but you don't know why they are true do you?
Organised internal linking? YES, but what does it mean?
Using sitemaps? YES, but what is a proper sitemap and what do you do with it?
Using robots.txt? YES! But how? Why? What is a 'robots.txt'?
You're not giving the reader anything useful, just spitting out keywords to get clicks.
