Potential customers will follow links to your website based on their interest in the content of your articles.

These original articles that are created to promote your business or expertise typically contain a bio box or author profile and by-line that include a link back to your website.

Just as article directories can expose your website to thousands of potential visitors, so too can podcasts promoting your website attract large audiences through podcast directories, like iTunes, PodcastAlley.com and PodcastDirectory.org.

Webinars

Participating as a speaker or contributor to a web-based seminar or webinar featuring high profile co-speakers and sponsors is another way to attract volumes of new traffic to your website.

Webinar producers invest a lot in promotional strategies to attract as many registrations and subscribers as possible. This is free advertisement for the speakers involved and the experience also helps to build up your profile and credibility to your target market.

Forums

Depending on your niche there may be certain discussion forums where a large percentage of your target audience gathers to discuss topics and share information.
