How to gain traffic on a new site!

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by seodelhi, Feb 27, 2007.

    As everyone knows, gaining traffic to a new site from SEO has become very hard now a days. In such a scenario, how does one get traffic to a site from other sources. What should be the initial strategy to gain visitors unless the time when your site starts ranking in searches.

    You can try also social bookmarking and put some comments on related blog site that has high traffic.

    Those are near impossible to get onto.
    You need an amazingly good site/story to get traffic off the bat from them.

    pinging your sites, posting on forums/guestbooks, just mainly getting a lot of backlinks so that the search engines will index you faster.

    Hello Tauren
    first of all choose ur keywords on which u wants to get on google. rather then choosing top competative key words go for less competative keywords.
    for eg: "mobile phone" is a highly competative key word rather then targeting this i will choose best mobile phone, free mobile phone etc...

    Exchange links with other related site using your key word as a anchor text

    Hope u will definitely found a place on gooles's 1st search page

    no matter what, the most money will be made from paid ads. YOu can optimize your site and eventually get nice placements, but without spending there is only so far you can get

    Content = traffic
    more content = more traffic

    You also need to know how to use single content in different ways to gain traffic > That is SEO

    social sites are the likes of digg, stumble upon(a socal bookmarking site), etc.

    social bookmarking is where you "add" "recommend" a site to a site, hence bookmarking. the most famous is http://del.icio.us/

    Submitting to little directories as well as big one's is a bright idea, people usually give PR3+ directory lists but when you check them they either removed free inclusions or full of junk so pretty hard to be noticed and get clicks. When you submit to new directories(i'm not talking about domain+script+template junks)you help them build a database and they give you a free backlink and some visitors in time, i do not spend money on website promotion till it gets naturally "promising".

    Of course they are, but getting bookmarks in the first place is almost impossible for a new site.

    You might be able to do it once or twice, but this is not really reliable.

    I don't really know much about digg or stumbleupon, but I know someone over there must dig my site cause I got almost a hundred uniques in one day from stumbleupon. I don't know what it is but I like it!
