My Number 1 Traffic Tip For Increasing Vistiors

18 replies
Ok while this may not exactly be a tip on how to get more and more traffic to your website or blog I think that most people are missing out on the basic steps when trying to get more traffic.

Here is my advice to those wanting to increase traffic.

Focus....

Yes focus on 1 traffic method at a time.

I see to many people going all over the place trying to get traffic from hubpages, articles, videos, squidoo and many more...

Ok so what am I getting at you may be asking?

Well it all boils down to this...

Become an expert and master one traffic method before moving onto the next.

There you have it my number 1 traffic tip.

What I mean is lets say that you are trying to get all the traffic you can from hubpages, dont just through up a hubpage and hope for all the traffic to come flooding in.

Take the time to find out what makes it tick, find out if there are any tricks that you can use, read up on free information that you can find easily on the web to get the most out of your traffic source.

And another key point here is that whenever you are using a new method to drive traffic, always update your profile pages and always try and add value to any community that you are entering, look at it this way by providing value you will become a source of information to people who will then in turn be more interested in listening to what you have to say instead of just pasting your links everywhere.

Once you have mastered one traffic source you can then move onto the next source and just update and amend your traffic from the previous method or just outsource each method to someone else.

It has worked many times for me in the past....

Anyway you dont have to listen to me but its just my opionion on what to do...

To many people like I said jump from one thing to another and then wonder why nothing is really working to its full potential, if you think about it you could put up a hubpage and just by chance get say 100 visitors a month, but if you take time to add value to the community and figure out how it all really works you could change that 100 visitors to 1000 visitors.

Ok enough rambling on,

Hope this opened a few peoples eyes....

Aaron.

      If you're just starting, you'll find that MOST of your efforts on social networks and bookmarking sites don't bear much fruit. It is very time intensive, but my suggestion for anyone getting started is to get set up on as many of the more popular social networks and bookmarking sites as you can. This takes a lonnnnnnng time. Use the same ID/Username and password so it's easy to remember for all of them.

      Not everything here is useful, but it was helpful for me to find out which sites worked in a collective strategy for ranking certain pages in search engines. Go to Social bookmarking service. Fast tagging and posting to all major social websites - SocialMarker.com. Use a spreadsheet (Excel) to save all the information on each site.

      More than any other system for getting pages listed FAST in search engines is VIDEO, in conjunction with DIGG. I've seen my videos for certain keywords on page 1 within an hour after posting them on youtube or viddler and even betternetworker.com

      This is just "basic" stuff, and doesn't generate a lot of traffic though (contrary to what a lot of "reports" will tell you). It does, however, establish an element of credibility with other traffic generation methods. My favorite are PAID methods, which are so far less time intensive, and productive.

    Very good point. But I believe the most important thing is to start doing. Without starting, nothing counts.

    I agree with Daniel. Its good to promote sales by following one good traffic driving method.

    Most importantly, the keyword whichever we use plays a major role. The keyword must be chosen in such a way that it attracts the visitors.

    I think its all about understanding which methods have the best potential. So lets say you spend some time on method A which brings in 100 visitors. Do you move on to method B which might bring another 100 visitors, or continue with method A and bring in 200 visitors?

    Of course the real problem is that you never really know how much sucess you will have until you try!

    If you do a search on this forum you will find tons of advice on how to get traffic.

    My personal favourite is JV partners. Most people think that you can't get JV partners if you don't already have a big list of your own. That's not true. Check the free WSO in my sig and you'll find out why.

    Time is of the essence meaning that you have to give any traffic options enough time to work and know when to drop it if its not working be it backlinking or article marketing.

      All free traffic generation methods are very labour intensive
      and time consuming (read back breaking) .
      You need to be a content factory 24/7
      in order to make it profitable.

      That's why my #1 traffic generation tip is:

      Just do propper keyword research and then
      outsource all f%#?&¤g content creation and submission
      labour as cheap as you can!

    Yes focus is really important. But I have also read that Google likes a variety of links.
    So lets say you focused solely on blog commenting or solely on article marketing or social bookmarking.....

    Could this be an issue as there is no variety?

      Mine is get subscribers and make a newsletter that encourages them to return often. Thus building a relationship between your subscribers giving you an everlasting source of traffic with ease. Although most skip on this completely and forget about the return to my blog due to chasing the profits.

        I think focusing on just one method of traffic is leaving money on the table.

        Different methods will work better for different niches, but sometimes you don't know what works best until you try it.

        I think it is best to work several different methods with constant tracking of your results. Tracking is probably the most important and most overlooked thing for new IM'ers.

        When you figure out what is working best, then focus most of your efforts on that method. I still wouldn't ignore other methods though, but put the majority of your time/energy/money into what is producing the best results.
