The Best Tips On Getting More Traffic to Your Website

Targeted traffic is the lifeblood of any successful business.
In this article, In this report, I'm going to show you how
to get laser targeted traffic in just a few simple steps.

1. Article Marketing - One of the best ways to drive targeted
traffic to your website is through the use of article marketing.
This is one of the oldest techniques for generating traffic, but
it's still one of the best.

Once you have written your article, you can then submit it to
some of the top article directories like EzineArticles, GoArticles,
Buzzle, the American Chronicle, ArticlesBase, and SearchWarp.
For a list of the top article directories online, go to...

You can also publish your website to Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo,
HubPages, Zimbio, and Gather.com.

Article marketing is even more powerful when you submit exclusive
articles to bloggers and owners of newsletters. This technique has
sent me thousands of visitors with a single article. The key is to
find the right distribution outlets.

Just imagine if you spend just one hour each day writing and
distributing one article. In three months you would have 100
articles all sending you traffic on a daily basis.

So get out there and start syndicating your articles, submitting
guests posts, and writing for online newsletters.


2. Viral Ebooks - Why not bundle your articles together and create
a viral ebook? Giving away free ebooks is one of the best ways
to generate traffic online. It's also one of the best ways to
build your mailing list.

You can submit your PDF ebooks to Scribd, eSnips, DocStoc, Calameo, Issuu, Yudu, FreeIQ, and ButterflyReports.

For a complete list of ebook directories you can submit to, go to
Free Ebook Directories

Quick Tip: You can also convert your ebooks to exe files and
submit them to all the different software directories online.
You can convert your ebooks using afree piece of software called
WebsiteZip Packer.


3. Blogging - Blogging is one of the best things you can do for
your business. Blogging is a great way to get to know your
readers. Plus, blogging can play a major role in getting valuable
search engine traffic from Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

4. Submit your articles to Blog Carnivals. A blog carnival is a
collection of blog posts on a particular subject. They are then
posted together on on blog - called a host. The host (who is also
a blogger), publishes the carnival on their blog, with links to
each blog post that has been submitted.

This creates an excellent opportunity to get your blog posts
shared on other blogs.

There are a number of benefits to participating in blog carnivals.
Not only will you generate extra traffic, but it also provides you
with quality backlinks and an excellent opportunity to connect
with other bloggers.

To submit your article to a blog carnival, go to
Blog Carnival - Blog Communities Publishing Magazines.
For extra exposure, submit to multiple blog carnivals.
Just make sure they're all relevant to your topic.

This is one of the easiest ways to create one-way backlinks coming
into your site, which is one of the biggest factors when it comes
to ranking high in Google.

5. Submit your blog posts to social bookmarking sites.

Social Bookmarking is one of the easiest ways to get extra traffic
and links coming into your blog. Social bookmarking allows
Internet users to save and organize bookmarks to a public website,
tag them with keywords, share them with others, and browse what
others have bookmarked.

Digg, Delicious, Mixx, and Digg are just a few of the social
bookmarking sites you can use to maximize your exposure.

You can do a semi-automated submission to over 50 social
bookmarking sites at AutoPoster.com.

You can also encourage your blog readers to bookmark your posts
as well with a Wordpress plugin called ShareThis.


6. Ustream.tv - Ustream allows you to create your very own tv station on the Web. However, it's better than TV because it's a live, interactive experience. While you're broadcasting the video, you're also getting feedback from the live chatroom.

Ustream gives your business a human face and a real personality.
This is extremely valuable, because people like to buy and interact
with people, not impersonal companies.

Live video allows you to reach entirely new audiences and develop
a much greater level of engagement. A deeper level of engagement
almost allows equates to a higher conversion rate when done
correctly.

It's also an excellent way to get feedback from your audience.

7. Forum Marketing - Forums are another way to drive targeted
visitors to your website. The key to getting quality traffic from
forums is to find a forum that is highly targeted to your website,
become involved in the community, and create a benefit-laden
signature.

You can put a link back to your website in your signature. It's
critical that you use your signature to offer something of extreme
value along with a good call-to-action. Otherwise, why would
anybody click?

The biggest benefit of marketing in forums is that they are
centered around a very tight group of people who are all
interested in the same subject. This is essentially a community of
raving fans for a particular topic, making them extremely targeted
prospects.

Forums are also an excellent way to connect with other bloggers,
meet other marketers, and gain insights into your market.

8. Interviews are another great way to generate traffic.
When you interview a fellow blogger, they will almost always
publish a link to the interview on their blog. At the same time,
you are also sending traffic to their website by posting the
interview on your own blog.

This can be a very effective technique for generating traffic and
meeting new bloggers. Unfortunately, most people are just afraid
to ask.

9. Build a List - If you're not building a list, you're missing out on
a major source of ongoing traffic. Your list is the most valuable
asset in your business.

Best of all, it can be leveraged at anytime to drive a funnel of
visitors to your website.

10. Video Marketing - Video sites have quickly become some of the
most highly trafficked sites on the Internet, making them one of
the best places to generate lots of extra traffic.

And don't worry, your video doesn't have to be a Spielberg
classic. In fact, it can just be a PowerPoint presentation with
audio. Even simple videos can drive thousands of visitors to your
site.

Once you've created your video, you can then submit it to the top
video submission sites with a tool called TubeMogul.

I've just started to submit articles for the first time to the article directories. I still have my first 4 in the approval hopper at ezinearticles.com, I'm curious to see what happens to my web site traffic after they are on the site and people start to use the articles. Should be interesting.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, but do you have any tips for getting traffic to a general blog?

Articles have not worked well for me, but the blog carnivals are huge source of traffic for my blogs. I would recommend every blogger check into participating in those.

Yep, article marketing does indeed work. Write useful articles in your own words. The reward is oneway backlinks that google loves when it ranks results, which equals free targeted traffic. In my experience sticking to submitting unique articles to ezinearticles gets results.

 

Thanks! Awesome post. And it's bookmarked!

 

I think you have mentioned everything which we need to work on . I think if everyone work on these steps than they don't have to try anything else for traffic .

 

I have tired many of the tactics that you've mentioned and they never fail to bring me a steady flow of traffic, even months after I have stopped actively promoting my site.

I will try the blog carnival idea, though.
