My new visitor average used to be 150-200 per day. Within the past month or so, It's dipped down to about 60-70 per day. Any tips would be awesome. I try using websites such as digg.com, and I am lucky to get 5 clicks. I am not having much luck with social networks..I need some tips, any would be awesome! Thank you so much
Digg users hate online marketers. You are not having much luck with social networks because you are not socializing or networking... you are simply putting links and expect people to click. You network with people... make friends... and then people will start taking you more seriously in social networks.
I imagine you've already tried article marketing but if not you should give it a go you can also try Google alerts it's free and it works you can find out about it here free-web-traffic.net
Work on your on-page and off-page SEO (ie. backlinks) and increase your rank in the search engines. Then you will receive more traffic through the search engines. Try and think of the backlinks you acquire from digg and other social media sites as link juice for the search engines. They will bring some human traffic but the real value is from the increase in rank you will receive for the backlink.
You might want to first check your actual website to make sure that the trouble is not there. Your website should provide content to users that is useful and relevant, not a sales page that has nothing but spam. Then you might want to try Squidoo marketing if you have not tried it yet. It is free, so there is no loss to you and Google loves Squidoo.
Yes, I also agree with list building. I didn't start making a living online until I started to figure out the importance of list building.
Building links drives traffic. Here are some of the link building techniques that helps: article submission blog commenting forum posting classified ads social bookmarking press release
Have you try Facebook for the getting new visitor facebook has 350 million users. It is also providing the facebook fan page which is helps in facebook marketing & branding
You can get visitors from social networks. but first you have to participate on the social network actively and regularly. you may also submit quality articles/press release and do some SEO.
Do a long term plan. Do a keyword research for you business/niche related keywords. Start building links using those keywords. It will help you to keep the current ranking. Beside this try facebook. Be clever during facebook promotion. Don't start building networks and posting links. Never act as a spammer. There are fan page and other things to market your website. Search for the groups related with your subject. You can post your links there.
You can do article marketing if you are on a low budget. If you have the money...take alook at pay per click marketing. You will have to study that first before just jumping in because it is a whole differnet monster.
I have found craigslist ad posting to be a great and easily outsourceable way to build traffic to your website.
Ezine solo ads are very effective too but you have to beware of which solo ad you use. All solo ads are not created equal
You can try video marketing.. Create a video related to your niche. Watermark the video with your site name. Include a link to your site in the description as well. Upload the video to multiple sites with Tubemogul or trafficgeyser. Do not forget to include relevant tags in the keyword section
Are you looking for free methods or do you want to use paid traffic. What are you selling on your site? Do you know your average visitor value? If you can figure out those metrics then you'll know what you can afford to pay for traffic. Then traffic is much easier and you can pay someone to do the work for you or set up a PPC campaign.
I've found that this can work really well. Also, once you've made the video, don't forget to embed the video in various places too. Such as a Squidoo lens or hubpage.
