Is
your Web
Traffic at a standstill?
Do you feel as though you are in a bit
of a jam regarding your website traffic. You've spent hours, days, weeks
even months working hard on your site getting it exactly how you want it.
You've given it a great look and feel and supplied all the content that your
visitors are going to love, and are going to want to keep coming back time and time
again for.
Yes I hear you say. I have worked hard
on my site. It is the best site in the world. But where are all my visitors?
Firstly lets take a step back
a moment and take a peek from the outside looking in. You may have the
greatest looking website in the world but it is absolutely wasted if no-one
knows where it is. The web is huge, so no matter
how good the content, layout, colour scheme or
the product you are offering is, without having some kind
of traffic building techniques in place, all your hard work will have been
wasted.
So for a site to be
successful we conclude that it needs traffic, and the more traffic you get
the more the search engines will like you. The more the search engines like
you the higher they will place you in their listings. The higher you are in
the listings the more traffic you will receive. The more traffic you
receive. . . .
Traffic Building
Techniques
There are many techniques
available ranging from
Traffic Exchanges both Automatic and Manual,
Link Exchanges, Search Engine Submissions, Free Advertising, Banner
Exchanges and Forums and many more. Below, I will cover as many as possible
that I personally use. They are all tried and tested but best of all they
are all %100 Free.
Search Engine
Submission
Submitting your
websites to the search engines is the most important and vital thing you
should start with, almost of your traffic could come from the top three
search engines which are in order Google, Yahoo and MSN, if you submit to
these three search engines, you will get submitted to all of the 1000 or so
other search engines out there, these three make up 90% of all searches on
the internet.

SearchBigDaddy gives you a
guaranteed No1 Search Position instantly.
Free
Advertising
can be better than most pay for advertising services and
doesn't limit your advertising to one place. Thus it will give your website
more of a chance to be picked out by the search engines. Once you find your
website listed on the search engines, you can then concentrate on getting it
listed on the first page of the search results. Most people never look past
the first page on search engine results. Being on the first page, preferably
number one position on the search engine will get you the most exposure for
your websites, products and services.
Link Directory Exchanges
Directory Exchanges are an
online listing of websites that send people to your site in exchange for you
viewing other peoples websites that are listed on the directory. If you want
an extra 200+ visitors a day to your site for just a couple of hours of
pleasurable surfing take a look at
Traffic Pods and TS25
You could also try this new link exchange called trafficera. Launched Jan
2008. It looks set to be a huge success.
With
LinkReferral you can also
review other members sites and get listed even higher in the directory, as
well as have other members review your site for free. In doing so you get
some really valuable feedback.
YourDomainUK highly recommends
LinkReferral. On average we receive between 40-60 Unique visits a day.
Advertising Forums
are a really great way to
advertise your site especially if you find a forum on the same subject as
your own, because you will be instantly targeting like minded people.
Just be sure to read the forum and posting rules before starting to
advertise your links.
Discussion Forums
These are a great
way to get targeted traffic to your site from like minded people. Posting
replies to peoples discussions on these types of discussion sites can
greatly increase your traffic and as a bonus a lot of them pay you to post a
discussion, to reply to a discussions and pay you for people replying to
your discussion.
So why
not increase your traffic and get paid for doing it too. There are many
discussion Forums out there but I particularly like Mylot.
MyLot is a growing community of individuals from
around the world who enjoy sharing information, meeting new people, and
helping each other out. Why not join their community and experience the
internet in a whole new way.
Viral Advertising
Double a
penny every day for a month and what do you get? Over 10 million dollars!.
That's the power of exponential growth, and the internet is the best medium
for this system. Since the Internet era, viral advertising has become the
most reliable means to advertise almost anything. The Internet can reach
every corner of the world, and so does your website! It works based on viral
advertising concept. With clean design and easily readable ads, you can be
sure your website will be seen for FREE!
If you want
your site being seen by over 1 Million people every month take a closer look
at Free
Viral.
Web Browser Advertising
These are programs that add
a small toolbar on your Web Browser and constantly advertise on it. You
submit your ads and they are shown on others peoples toolbars. This is a
really great form of advertising, plus you get credits just for checking
your emails and web browsing. I personally recommend
Instant Buzz.
It's very simple to set up,
and your site will receive constant Free exposure within
minutes.
One Way Linking Directories
Undoubtedly
the best way to promote your site is by getting one way links.
Search engines count
how many external links are pointing to your site, and in many cases use
this as an indicator of your sites popularity. In the past you had to manually look for places to
add your website. Then you
had to manually fill out submission forms on these
websites. Then you had to
add a reciprocal link on your site before your
website would even appear on the sites you were trying to add to.
Well not anymore. With
Directory submitter Free Software you can instantly add your site to up
to 1750 sites. at the click of a mouse.
Increase your Google ranking NOW

of the above recommendations are used on a daily basis by
