By leejon | November 27, 2008
There is one hard and fast rule in generating income for your website: a steady flow of website traffic. If no one goes to your site, it doesn’t stand a chance of generating an income. Many sites have tried and failed in doing so, and this results in the sites demise.
There are many different ways of generating website traffic, some are free, and some cost money.
Here I will tell you the best ways of increasing traffic to your site.
Article marketing
Submit articles to sites that are in the same niche as your website. If you sell car parts write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Attach your sites link at the end of the article as well as its description and services. Using marketing with articles will help you get traffic.
Offer newsletters
If many people know what you are about and your existence is shared with many others, you will find loyal traffic that can provide you with more traffic by recommendation. If you arouse the interest of your visitors they will be glad to help you with your traffic.
Exchange or trade Links with other sites
When you exchange links with other sites, both parties will benefit. For example, when one site features another sites link, it can provide each other with the traffic one site generates. These efforts are doubly beneficial because it would be like both of you are working to generate more traffic. Using permanent one way links will also lead to more traffic.
Do Viral Marketing
Viral marketing enables you to spread the word about your website.This is a marketing method that can be quite clever; you can attach your company’s product, name, or website link to a kind of media such as, an entertaining game, a funny video,an interesting article or a buzz or gossip. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people.
Use relevant keywords or keyword phrases in your sites content
Search engines look for certain keywords that they would show in their results page. In doing so, having the right keyword phrase and keyword is a necessity for ranking high in search engine results. You could write your own content or you could hire someone to ghostwrite it for you.
Join forums and form online communities
Capture a market and show your credibility and expertise. When you build a good name for your site, people will have trust in you, and they will pass your link to many people.Traffic will definitely increase because they know that you can provide what they are searching for.
Traffic exchange
This is like exchanging links but on a different level. This may cost a bit more than exchanging or trading links but can be made cheaper by earning credits. Web site traffic exchanges are the viewing of another’s site or page. This is done vice versa where a site can use your sites content and so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. The other sites owners can go to your pages and know more about your site.Once again the public awareness of your sites existence is increased.
Invest in targeted advertising with search engines
Google’s Adwords and Yahoo’s Overture provide great advertising schemes that are very popular and assure great traffic. Although this surefire way to increase your traffic would cost some money. While some would shy away from spending money to increase traffic, it is worthwhile in this case to do so, because Adwords and Overture is the top guaranteed way to increase your traffic.
