Most people once
their website is up and running seek
answer of “how to increase
traffic to website?” Because
they know without traffic they can’t
think of surviving in the world of
internet. Traffic is the core part
of any successful online business,
so it’s necessary to know how to increase
traffic to website. Here you will
discover top most ways to increase
traffic to website.
Write article related to your website
theme and submit it to top most Article
Directories
It is one of the most used and free
ways to increase traffic to website.
You must be thinking how? Here is
the explanation; when you submit your
articles to article directories you
create one way link to your site,
which is very important for getting
good rank in search engines like Google,
Yahoo or MSN. Most of the article
directories allow you to add link
to your website at the end of articles
(in the resource box). I highly recommend
people to start with ezinearticles,
goarticles and buzzle, because these
three are most effective in sending
highly targeted visitors to your website.
Make helpful posts in forums
Join some forums in your niche and
promote your site in your signature.
Before you do this be careful, read
the forum term and condition as well
as their instruction otherwise you
may found yourself banned from forums.
Lurk and Learn.
Some forums allow signature but some
don’t. Some won’t allow worlds like
“Click on my link below” or “see the
link in my signature”. So be careful
before attempting these steps.
Don’t use forum only for self promotion
make it useful for other members of
forum. Build your reputation by posting
genuinely, helpful, useful comments.
If you think carefully of ways to
provide truly USEFUL content that
people will talk about, you'll automatically
end up with lots of free, one-way
links to your site as people recommend
it without even being asked to do
so.
To find forums related to your keywords,
do a search in Google for
Your keyword + forums
Place a link in Yahoo! Answers "sources".
Another great resource to increase
traffic to website. At Yahoo! Answers,
there are various categories in which
many people ask questions related
to their problem. Based on your site
theme select your category and give
answer to questions there. In your
answers, you can list "sources"
(links) for more details. The "asker"
can vote a particular answer the "Best
Answer" and that answer is given
special prominence. Other users can
vote, too. But doesn’t spam it, provide
an answer which you think is right
and contain helpful information for
asker.
If you click on the "Report Abuse"
link and check the available categories,
you'll see that "advertisements"
are banned. However, I've spotted
some affiliate links posted as sources.
Rather than posting an affiliate link,
I think it would be more useful –
and natural - to link to your own
website, perhaps to a newsletter sign-up
page or to a page offering a free
report.
If you use Yahoo answer in a correct
way, you will end with lots of vote
and visitor will follow your site
automatically.
Give comments on other people’s Blog
Try to comment with
useful information on other people’s
blog, which will give you not much
traffic but some useful ones. If you
have time then always try to comment
on do follow blogs so that you can
also get one way link for your site.
Here is the list of do follow blogs.
Make it easy for people to famous
your site
You must have seen on someone else
blog or website at the bottom of the
page
“Like this post? Bookmark it at Del.icio.us”
OR
“Digg this Article”
Providing such links makes it very
easy for readers to spread the work
about your article. Some blog owners
provide a choice of social networking
and social Bookmarking links or graphics
at the end of their articles.
Social Bookmarking sites include:
http://del.icio.us
http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com
http://www.furl.net
You can see a long list of social
Bookmarking sites here dofollow social
bookmarking sites list.
You can also increase traffic to
website by Bookmarking each and every
pages of your site. This will help
you to get one way high quality link
from high PR SB sites and if your
post is useful then you may end with
tons of free traffic from these sites.
To speedup the process I will recommend
you to use following free services:

Write High Quality and Unique Content
One of the most important sources
of getting free traffic is search
engines; you can catch the eyes of
search engines by writing high quality
and unique contents. The most webmasters
ignore this little but highly recommended
step.
Search engine loves fresh and unique
content, so try to write information-rich,
keyword rich, useful content for the
search engines and human to find.
Don’t forget to include your most
important keyword in the title of
your page and also use the same two-three
times in your article body.
There are many peoples who think
if they built 1000’s blog then they
will earn lots of money and gets lots
of traffic by linking their blogs
to one another but this is totally
wrong. Only high quality fresh content
and trueness of the content will give
you profits in long run. So don’t
try to fool peoples with wrong information
and useless content.
Try offline advertising.
Try experimenting with offline advertising,
in local newspapers and in magazines
in your niche. Tempt people to reply
by offering a free report. You're
likely to have a better return on
investment if you concentrate on collecting
email addresses, rather than trying
to sell directly on the first page
of your site.
Using free Classifieds to
increase traffic to website
There are tons of classified sites
exist in the world of internet and
if your site is new, you can use these
classified sites as free advertising
medium to advertise your business.
You will not get tons of traffic to
your site with this method however
you can get decent number of visitors
on your site if you write your ad
effectively.
Some sites allow you to upgrade your
account for better exposure of your
advertisement; however classified
advertisement can be used with great
effect even with free account.
Here are few tips on how to use classified
ads:
Use compelling headlines: This is
the first thing any of user will see,
so make it appealing to ad visitors.
Add picture to support your ad: Adding
picture to advertisement will increase
the Click through rate of your advertisement
thus ending in lots of traffic to
your site.
Write short and descriptive ads:
Don’t try to write everything in ad
itself, write in concise based on
call-to-action methods.
Here is the list of free classified
ad sites.
Using Pay Per Click Mechanism
Before you start
applying pay per clicks concept make
sure you understand the concept and
all that is involved. It can be really
expensive if you don’t know how to
use it. Be specific and concentrate
on your target traffic. Set your target
budget and don’t go over. Have an
effective tracking system for everything
you do to be able to analyze what
works and what does not.
