Websites need to get “active†websites linked to them to get higher ranking among the top SEs. If we get high ranking then there is better chance of wooing in traffic=people to our site that would have interests in what we offer. Thus, the key element here is how to be effective in getting traffic and use this to our advantage. There are many ways by which we can do this and maybe identifying some of them could help: Traffic technique #1 - Publicity/Press Release This is quite effective in more ways than one especially if they are paid press releases. Google and all other SEs still consider it, that’s why it is still quite potent and valuable. And with the use of keywords this techniques will surely hit its mark. Traffic technique #2 - Viral Marketing Just like a typical virus, this type of marketing should spread rampantly affecting every person along its path and scope of perimeter. The “virus†is actually the product being passed on to one person to another or to one website to another website. In order to for this to be effective, the content should be different, intriguing, and sometimes funny. It should have that peculiarity so people would pass it around voluntarily. Traffic Technique # 3 - Article Writing and Submission It is one of the very effective techniques in getting traffic to your site or product you are promoting. Just like in any other article, it should be complete with the proper information and basic data about the product. At first glance, other website should readily see the benefit of linking to your website. Thus, a well crafted ad written article and submission to many people or websites would make it very viable in promoting your product especially if you are a newly established one. Traffic Technique # 4 - Submission to Directories You would really get very good ranking if you do it right. Submit it to high ranking friendly directories and you become very successful. If you submit to directories with one-way links and your page would rank too. However, you need to ensure that Search Engines would not think that you are using some link farm or automation software or other spammy method by showing some divergence in the texts of the links. You can go from free to paid directories. For a better exposure it would be best for you to go for the paid version of the directories. Usually, some hire firms to do it for them even if they usually charge an arm and leg while others hire freelancers to do it for them. Traffic Technique # 5 - Web 2.0 – Social Bookmarking If you have a favorite site then you put a tag on it with appropriate keywords and enter it in a list on a public “bookmarking†site. Of course, you can always share your bookmarks with other peoples’ bookmarks. Social Bookmarking, Social Networking, and others, believe that machines or the SE robots are morons and cannot recognize the true value of the content of the site. You have to summarize the content of your page and tagged it into proper category. There are many different services that are created and “managed†by peopleand based on “tagsâ€. As far as I know these are all free and therefore should be utilized to the fullest. Traffic Technique # 6 - Ezine Advertising This can bring you immeasurable number of traffic therefore become very profitable to you. You just have to present your offer in a proper way to ezines catering your target market. It is better if yours is the only one being offered. As usual, the content should always be new and fresh. These are only some. What do you think guys? Maybe you can comment on these and share some more.
