15 Fast And Easy Ideas To Increase For Website Traffic

Here are a few ideas to get more traffic to your website or blog.

I have listed the first 5 here. The rest are on my other blog gerrywalter.com - so please drop by and take a peek.


Traffic Idea 1 - Groups
Post in Yahoo and Google Groups with a link to your site in your signature. You can do this to any forum really. Just go to a forum in your niche and see how active it is.

If there are lots of people participating in the forum, then chances are you have an opportunity to get lots of traffic. Add your website link to your signature - and participate in the forum - and BANG….you will get visitors.

Remember - what you say in your link makes a big difference.

If you simply say ‘Please visit my site’ do you think that is going to be effective? Hardly…..

You need to attract attention - Maybe something like - ‘Got Money Problems - We Can Fix It Guranteed - You MUST visit Our Site’

What you say and how you say it is the key to attracting eyes - and lots of them.



Traffic Idea 2 - eBay
Sell or place classified ads on eBay with a link to your site. This is just one way of getting traffic from eBay.


Another is - have you heard about eBay blogs?


Go and set up a blog there and add some quality information. OK, the rules are strict so you will have to be careful what you post and what links you include, but if you obey the rules, you can get some instant traffic.

In fact - I set up a blog and got 80 visitors the first day to the eBay blog. OK, they didn’t all then visit my links, but some did and the others were interestedin what I had to say.



Traffic Idea 3 - PPC
Use PPC search engine advertising. Hope you have a big fat wallet for this one. This is a dangerous hobby, one that could make your credit card instantly combust.


However, do it right and you will get lots of traffic - cheap. The key here is to make sure your landing page is 100% relevant to the ad you are linking to.


Have a seperate landing page for each add and you will see your Cost Per Click reduce.

Remember, Google loves relevance……



Traffic Idea 4 - Niche
Submit your site to any related niche directories on the net. OK, this isn’t terribly lightning fast - however, it does works. For example, I submitted one of my sites to the Ask search engine. The next day I noticed hits.


The key is to find those search engines that are good quality, free and actually work.


Some charge you to submit your site - my opinion, you are getting ripped off. Don’t waste your cash, spend it on your dog or cat instead. They will appreciate it more.


Traffic Idea 5 – Take Advantage
Purchase the misspellings or variations of your domain name, or those of your competitors. This is a great idea. However, it will cost you a bit. You need to make sure you can recoup your domain expenses.


However, if there is a site that is hugely popular, then you are certainly going to pick up some stray traffic.


Remember, getting traffic is a numbers game - it’s all about adding upo those small hits from lots of places across the web.
