How To Drive Easy Free Traffic To Your Website

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Before any website can get sales, it must get traffic. The whole “build it and they will come” doesn’t work with the internet. I used to own the domain name “vwbus.com” and it got about 40 to 50 visitors a day by people simply typing that in to see what was there. That is the exception to the rule, however. Most sites have to leverage other sites with existing traffic in order to get started. Here are a few ways that you can get some free traffic and leverage these sites that can get you the traffic.

Starting a blog, whether on your own domain or even on a hosted site such as Blogger.com or Wordpress.com can give you a great advantage over just a regular website. The main thing that makes blogs great for getting traffic is that they have a built-in RSS feed. These RSS feeds allow search engines and several other directories or engines to index the content of blogs and do this very easily.

You can use social bookmarking sites to get both links back to your site for the search engines as well as direct traffic from people visiting these social bookmarking sites and clicking on the links in your bookmarks. You can use sites like socialmarker.com to get a list of social bookmarking sites that can be used to bookmark your blog posts, pages on the site and also use the profile options with several of these social bookmarking sites that allow you to put links in for your websites into the profiles.

In addition to blogging on sites like Wordpress.com or Blogger, or even a self-hosted blog, there are other sites you can use that may be considered mini-blogs. There are several sites that allow people to create their own pages. You may have heard of Squidoo.com or Hubpages.com. You can use existing articles, videos, and just about anything else to populate those pages with content. Just make sure to link back to your main site or the site where you have your affiliate link or your main source of revenue. You can use these types of sites as well to promote affiliate products.

Next to pay-per-click, articles are the best way to get your website ranked and get traffic back to your website. The main reason these article websites are so good is because the pages on which your article shows up are very relevant and the links that are allowed in the author profile or resource box. Many of the good article sites also have a lot of “authority” with the search engines and their article pages rank very well which also means that the link values passed along from these types of sites are very high.

Posting on forums is another great way to generate links back to you site. Find forums within your niche and start contributing to the conversations. Make sure that you’re posting on forums that allow you to add a signature with a link. Also, whenever possible, view the source on forums and see if they add a “nofollow” attrib within the link code. If they do, that forum won’t do much for your search engine optimization, but will work for getting clicks back to your website.

There are a lot of blogs that you can add your comment to. These comments can be used for the search engine benefit by using your keyword phrase as the link back to your site. If the blog is a “popular” blog where many people add comments, the webmaster or blog owner may have a setting that prevent the search engine from giving credit for that link. In those cases, you can use the more popular blogs to link back to your site and simply get some clicks back to your site. This puts some of the pressure on to write comments that encourage the clicks.

There are several things that you can do to help you get traffic to your site. These are only a handful of ways you can use. The more time you spend trying these things out, the more you’ll learn and the better you’ll get at getting rankings and traffic.

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Your Own Web Real Estate

Once you have generated articles, either by writing them yourself or buying them from a professional article service or freelancer, you’re ready to start placing them on the Internet and getting visibility. You can start by placing the articles on your own website.

There are different ways to use articles to get visitors coming and returning to your website. In this article I’ll talk about the benefits of using your own articles on your own website. I’ll tell you what they will do for your website and how they effect your traffic.

Content Is Important

As far as the internet marketing world is concerned, content is king. By giving your visitors a number of articles to read and even redistribute is an excellent way to improve your website rank. get more visitors and make more money.

But why is content king?

Articles provide quality content for your website. You can have dozens, or even hundreds, of website pages and still not increase your search engine rank if the pages lack content.

You have heard about the importance of things like metatags and metadescriptions. These are part of your site’s coding; this is text that won’t appear on your screen when your site is being viewed. Of course, these tags don’t matter as much now as they used to.

Search engine robots, little programs that crawl the web logging every page they find, no longer pay much attention to metatags. More importance is given to a website’s content than all other factors. This is why you work hard. Your hard work and your investment in professional articles pays off. The more content you have on your website, the higher your website ranking will climb.

Don’t expect your website to shoot to Google’s top ten the minute you put up your fresh new articles. Search engines take time to update the vast amount of information available on the web. However, the sooner you get started, the sooner you will start to see improved results on search engines for your website. Once your information is catalogued, you can remain high in the results ranking as long as you keep updating your website with fresh content.

When content is not enough: building trust with your customers. Many webmasters put up a lot of content to their websites, and then sit back and wonder why the business isn’t pouring in. The reason, is trust.

To be a successful Internet marketer, you have to build trust. By providing high quality information for readers is a step in the right direction, but it is not everything. Most consumers need to be exposed to your business several times before they’ll make a purchase.
