Just get your link out there any where and every where possible. Preferably dofollow sites. The more the better. Keyworded anchor text is helpful whenever possible. Some sites do not allow it. Others do. Make sure you are aware of there rules before posting or you will waste your time.
You can quickly dig a very deep hole with PPC unless you know how. The best methods only cost your time. I like forum posting and clog commenting and guest posting. As long as you provide value. your link power will eventually bring higher rankings and visitors
Make at least one good Squidoo lens, and preferably more (half dozen to dozen). Make each lens be on a very specific topic, not just general "travel." For instance, "How to pack light for a round-the-world trip," "great hidden restaurants of Amsterdam," "staying safe in Mexico" ... whatever, just be very focused. Include links to your site -- be sure to check the current Squidoo TOS to stay within whatever limits on this they have. Building Squidoo lenses will definitely boost your traffic. I find them a bit of a pain to build, despite their great tools, because I try to make really quality ones. Also, it will take some time away from building out your own site. However, it is really worth it, in my experience.
If you have the basics of SEO down... Ask yourself how can I make my sites: - Better than my competitors - Different to my competitors - Answer my potential audiences needs That in itself will take you a long way. The next step is producing awesome content around that idea and connecting with others in your niche and building a social media following. There are no easy answers here.
I am a big fan of Yahoo Answers. Become an expert in your niche and people will follow you to your site.
Social bookmarking is the best option, after then, social media marketing like facebook, twitter, myspace. Post Video on your facebook and market it.Do some work on classified ads.
Can you give some examples why it is so? Thank You.. I think it will take more time to become expert and then How peoples will follow your website? Suppose, they are following, then also the traffic from them will be very less. What you think?
If you want to increase the traffic to your travel site instantly, you need to use Facebook and twitter. Go to facebook and find groups related to travel and join them. Write about your travel site on the walls of these forums. Other things you can do is, send friend requests to group members. There are many ways how to add friends to your facebook account quickly. Best way is to be part of these groups and contribute good things. If people get impressed by your postings, they will send you friend requests. Another thing is which is booming and becoming a must use marketing tool is twitter. You must have twitter account for each of your websites and you must know how to use twitter to drive traffic. There are many ways you can use twitter to get traffic and make money. A very simple and best way to get twitter traffic is to follow people who are twitting travel related stuff. If you follow them, many people in twitter follow back. If you tweet good stuff about travel and promote your site with a link in your every good tweet, people will re tweet to their followers. It's so simple, but only thing you need to do is to take action.
Fresh and unique content is the best thing to attract google bot and regular activity to your site to get good pr. Don't think only the visitor. You can't stop their visit when you site actually have some good content and maintenance.
Improve your rankings. try to market your website through sites like twitter,facebook. To get traffic from google you need to make your site better then your competitor. Check what are you lacking for then try to imrpove on that part.
I think forum posting ,article submission will help you a lot.Also you can try it on some of the social networking sites .Facebook,twitter,myspace etc.try to update it with relevant and fresh topics and also to get backlinks
Do all SEO methods, write guest post, comment on other niche related blogs, active in forums and social media. that all for a huge traffic to your site.
The most effective methods for me are guest posting, social bookmarking, article marketing and blog commenting. You can also join social writing communities like Hubpages and Squidoo and put links at the end of your posts to your blogs. You have to do this minimally though. Usually, 1 or 2 links only are allowed. More than that, the site may ban your account.
