64 Ways to Promote your Website and Increase Traffic!

    Here are some methods to increase traffic to your blog or website. Some of these techniques will help increase sales as well as hits.

    1. Have Your Own Domain – If you use Wordpress or blogger, try to avoid using sub-domains or free hosting services. Pay for some web hosting and get your own unique domain name. This will make your website more memorable and encourage visitors to return.

    2. Create a Professional and Unique Design with Logo - Code your own template or modify an existing theme for your site or blog. What makes your blog so special if it looks the same as 1000 others on the Internet? Make sure you have a great memorable logo so when people see it; they know it’s your websites. Your design should be clean and simple so it’s easy to navigate. Once you have made it, test it and check everything works, a site with errors will lose visitors.

    3. Content is King - You need to consistently write great content on your blog or website. The posts that you make need to be worth reading and have some impact on the visitor. If I am visiting your website for the first time, I want to be impressed and bookmark your website so I return to see what else you compose.

    4. Post Linking - When a link is made to your blog from another blog, if activated, it places a link in that blogs comments back to the relevant post. This will help increase back links to your blog and therefore increase traffic.

    5. Personality - Do not pretend to be someone you are not as a blogger. Be yourself and do not act otherwise. This is best because your readers want someone to connect with, someone who is a real person and not just a blog with no face.

    6. Always Room for Improvement - Always strive to improve your blog or site any way you can. Play around with ad placement, colours and graphics and other features to make your blog more appealing. Ask for reviews to find area’s for improvement.

    7. Reply to Your Readers - This means replying to comments and any e-mails that you receive. This is part of your personality and showing that you are a real person who exists and cares about the topic you are blogging about.

    8. Real Posts - Ensure that you sound human in your posts. Do not post in the third person. Use words such as “I” and talk about your personal experiences.

    9. A Picture - A picture paints a thousand words so why not show your readers who is writing the blog. Upload an image of yourself onto your about page, or if you are not quite comfortable to do that then have a cartoon of yourself made.

    10. Comment on Other Blogs - This is a very powerful technique, I know I find myself clicking the link to a person’s website after I have read their comment and this is what you can achieve by leaving your comment on as many other blogs as possible. Blogs that are about the same topic will help you get targeted traffic. Ensure your comment is worth reading and not just a load of rubbish.

    No offense but there are about 2-3 of these threads made daily and this is just common sense.

    Yes these are basic techniques that anyone new to marketing should follow, and yes these types of tips do get posted often. However, most new people to this site, and even some veterans do not use the search feature anyways to find what they need. Thanks for the tips deakster

    Reminder to the basic techniques is good once in a while. Some people tend to follow these techniques religiously but forget them at some point.

    Same ol' list, with the poster's only purpose is to get more visitors.

    Old news.

    For those of you who have read the same thing, time after time but act like this is all new to you...you're fucking idiots, which is why you have a dead site.

    Thank you, and have a good weekend.
