12 Ways to Get Traffic to Your Site and Become Successful in Your Online Business

Web site traffic is a crucial factor for the success of your online busines. You may have the best product in the world being promoted on an expertly designed website; but without traffic coming to your site, you still end up with no sales. Hence, it is very important to exert a lot of your efforts on generating traffic to your site in order to boost your sales and become successful in your online business.

The following outlines my top 12 of the many ways in sending people to visit your site or blog:

1. Article Marketing- this is one of the popular and effective way in generating traffic to your site. Write articles related to your niche and submit them to popular article directories like ezinearticles.com, articlebase.com, associatedcontent.com, articlecity.com and the like. Be sure to include a link to your site in the author’s resource box or somewhere along the text in your article, if permitted. Make sure that your articles are rich in keywords with very attractive titles and unique; it should also be original and highly informative. If you don’t have time to write articles, you can always outsource them to expert writers at reasonable rates.

2. Social Network Marketing- Join popular social sites like Twitter, Friendster, Yahoo groups and Facebook; and indirectly market your product among your friends and followers. There are a lot of people making money online through sales coming in from twitter followers, facebook friends, and other group members. In the case of twitter, you can simply twit a one-liner text message with a link to your site through your cellphone even during your breaktime or idle times of the day. Just be sure that you don’t spam; never always twit with links, but sometimes send some useful information without any link in order to build credibility among your followers.

3. Forum Marketing- Another very effective way of sending visitors to your site is through forums. Join forums related to your niche or internet marketing forums and add a link to your site on your signature box. The more posts or threads you make, the higher the exposure of your site to prospective clients. This does not apply to affiliate links as most forums prohibit using affiliate links in forum signatures.

4. Pay-Per-Click Ads- Invest some amount in click per action (CPA) advertisements on popular sites like google and yahoo. This may cost you some investment paying around $0.01 to $5 per click or more depending on the site/condition; but the result is also worth it. This is the best and quickest form of sending traffic to your site; provided that you use the right keywords and attractive headlines or title.

5. New and Unique Contents- Your traffic generation objective should not only focus on new site visitors but also to your current visitors to come back. To ensure that, you need to have unending update to your site by adding new fresh contents at least once a month. For new sites/blog; 3 new posts every week would be ideal.

6. Visit Other People’s Blog/Site- Find some time to visit other popular sites related to you niche and place some informative comments with a link back to your site. Don’t make a one word or one line comment with your link as this might put you on bad impression of advertising your site. Try to make a constructive and useful comment to earn their respect; this would also encourage people to click on your link for more information on your comment/discussion.

7. Make a Review of your Site- Look for very popular sites in line with your niche with thousands of visitors; and asked them to make a review of your site usually for a fee. There are also popular review sites with high page view that makes a review of sites/blogs; use them to increase traffic.

8. Ping your Site/ Blog- Every time you add fresh new contents to your site, ping them to site directories; this will update them of your new posts or contents. Pingomatic is one great site to ping your website url.

9. Use RSS Feeds- RSS means Really Simple Sindication. Every time your site visitor places an RSS of your site, they get email notification or updates at their sites/blogs regarding your new posts; and your followers are able to read your new posts/contents at their own website/blog or email. This will also encourage them to visit your site for more information about your new update.

10. Great Title and Headlines- This is the most important aspect in advertising your site through online ads such as CPAs. When your ads are displayed on popular sites, Titles and Headlines grab the attention of other people’s site visitors. The title/headline alone should entice people to click on your ads that bring them to your site. This will make you realize the importance of how a one sentence title or headline could make a big difference in an upsurge of visitors to your site. A great title with the right keywords could also make it to the front page of google; and this would tremendously increase traffic.

11. Digg your Site Pages- Digg works by properly indexing the pages of your site; and indexed pages attracts traffic. This is only done when you have added a new page to your site.

12. Display your Site Name and Address- Your site name should have a proper place in your site and well displayed for readers to read. Always show your website address in order for readers to easily remember them whenever they want to visit your site again in the future; or refer them to friends. There are some sites with very attractive headlines that visitors remember the headline and forget about the site name. There is no way for them to go back to your site and refer them to friends. Don’t make this mistake.

There are still many other ways to increase traffic to your site. Most often, traffic generation is all about war at the search engines like google and yahoo search; the moment your site makes it to the front page of these search engines for that particular keyword/s, your site traffic will greatly increase.

In traffic generation, you need to squeeze out some creativity in yourself and innovate on new ways to send people to visit your site. Traffic is an important aspect for online business. It is the bloodline of internet marketing. Once traffic slows down, your business slows down as well. When traffic stops; then you are like having a heart attack where bloodflow is completely blocked towards your heart leading to death; likewise, your business will eventually die.
