Traffic oh Traffic.....where for art though Traffic??

Right.......I am trying my damndest to get traffic to my site but I'm failing miserably!

I've signed up with Adsense.........earned a wapping 71c so far

I signed up for Adwords last night but.......nothing......no impressions or anything as yet. I must have done something wrong with the keywords I'm assuming?

I'm planning on doing a bit of Article Marketing.....waiting to hear back from nned-an-article.net as we speak (writing isnt my strong point!!).

Any help appreciated!

hey start with article marketing it is free...

write some articles and submit to the article directories,
and wait the traffic cominn to your site via sig links...

 

Thanks for that. I'm hoping Articles are gonna be the way forward. Can you recommend any directories which have worked well for you?

 

Article marketing is by far my favorite form of advertising.

here are some of the main article directories I submit to:

www.ezinearticles.com
www.goarticles.com
www.ideamarketers.com
www.articlesfactory.com
www.buzzle.com

and I submit to a lot of other ones to build links.

 

Thanks very much

 

Trade links with other sites, submit to directories, google your main keyword and buy links on the top sites, article marketing, PPC is a whole nother game, I wouldn't venture off to far just yet

 

Ah........I'm glad you brought this up....I dont understand what 'buying links' and 'buying keywords' is all about?? HELP!!

 

One way to increase your traffic (related to writing articles), is to contact a few newsletters or ezines related to your website.

Once in contact, ask them if they would be interested in a unique article written by you, which they can send out to their list. You would be surprised how quickly words get around if the article provides good info.

If all goes well, ask the newsletter if they would be interested in a weekly / monthly column for your articles.

 

check out clickevolution.com if u need real uniques to your site it will do the trick and best of all is that for ever 2 sites you surf you get 1 back to your site. it has worked wonders for a couple of my sites.

 

I seriously need to try the article marketing angle. Yet another thing to add to the list!

 

Try a press release to begin with then focus on your article writing.. good luck

 

Thanks for those links.

 

Have you been to the directory part of the forum. Youu may want to submit to a few of those. Also, try and do some link exchange with simolar sites.

 

hay you can increase traffic by adding some related material in ur site.also use specific words which were commonly used and ez to search.

 

Great advice - didnt realise there was a Directory part of the forum and I was already thinking about link exchange but wasnt too sure what it was!!

 

Thanks for that. Can you explain 'ez to search' please?

If you are interested in learning to do search engine optimization for your own Web site, there is a free e-course offered by an SEO expert. It's run through a Yahoo! group and there are 30 lessons in the course, so you get a new lesson each day for a month. I have no financial/personal stake in the course - I am a member of the group and have learned a LOT.

If you're interested, PM me for the link to the group. I'm a new member and can't post live links yet.

 

Just PM'd you

Thanks

Three things that have worked for in order of success include:

-Writing short articles for ezinearticles.com. I found submitting here produced more traffic than a number of the other article directories combined.
-Build a squidoo lens. Again free and if you pick the right keywords you could get good traffic to your lens (and ultimately your site) by ranking effectively in google
-Post a couple of ad's on craigslist.com Again this could provide a growing trickle of traffic very quickly.

Are you sending the traffic to an affiliate website?

 

Thanks for that.

What is a 'squidoo lens'?

The site is my own site which has affiliate products on it.
