5 Best Ways to Increase Traffic to Any Web Site
Getting your website seen, or in other words, getting traffic, is the second most important step in the online business process. The first, of course, is gettingyour website ready to pull in sa|es and/or subscribers!
It all comes from advertising. Whenever someone sees your website, it is a result of advertising. But not just any advertising will get you the results you want.
You need advertising that gets Targeted Visitors.
Here's a list of advertising methods that have worked for me and countless other successful online marketers:
1. Article Marketing - Writing submitting articles.
Top marketers swear by this method of advertising. It's f'ree but if you hate writing articles, there are ways around it. PLR articles can be used but it really
is best to write your own original ones. The search engines love original content.
2. Ezine Ads - Solo, Top Sponsor etc.
Highly responsive ezines with a subscriber base in the 40,000 - 60,000 range, almost guarant'ees results. It might seem expensive, but if your copy is good, it will be a minor |nvestment.
3. PPC - Pay Per Click Advertising.
PPC delivers almost instant results of highly targeted traffic. You choose the keywords so you can literally choose the type of visitor. Google adwords is the most
popular but expensive. Test with a cheaper PPC provider first to perfect your PPC advertising.
4. Web 2.0 or Social Bookmarking sites.
Websites like squidoo.com, digg.com, del.icio.us.com, stumbleupon.com, even the ever popular myspace.com, incorporate the latest in web 2.0 advances.
These sites have huge traffic daily flow and because you can contribute your sites/blogs to these, join groups, add infinite tags, etc. people will 'stumble
upon' your site effortlessly.
5. Traffic/Banner Exchanges
While these may not be the most effective way to bring targeted visitors, they can be manipulated to get maximum results. There are many marketers online who find great success in traffic exchanges. The secret lies in the effectiveness of your landing page.
Targeted traffic can be hard to come by if you are just starting out. A lot of 'newbies' make a lot of mistakes when advertising but that's only natural. We learn from testing and trying, and eventually, if we haven't run out of money, we find the best advetising methods to get maximum results for our niche.
Stick with it, fine tune your advertising campaigns as you apply each of the above go and you'll soon be seeing your traffic stats explode beyond all expectation.
