What is the best way to bring traffic to a website appart from SEO?

If you don't want to do the normal SEO and then link building to get up high in the SERPs then you probably will need to buy advertisements as a part of a PPC campaign.

PPC is the surest thing for instant traffic, but it's all about the value you can extract from a PPC campaign.

Effective social media marketing will bring you a lot of visitors if done right, but the visitors are short-lived and they're generally conditioned to bounce after one page. The effect is only lasting when implemented consistently, and...

...when your content is good enough to convince visitors to come back on their own. This is the surest (and more valuable) strategy for attracting long-term traffic...but they still need to find you.

You could also set up a Twitter account and target your tweets toward people who might be interested in your product, but without a regular flow of new content to share, your visits may be short-lived.

What are you offering where SEO wouldn't be effective? Why not add some more text if you believe that's the only thing limiting you?

besides seo? effective way is PPC

You could also try Social networking, Gather, Face Book, My space are some good places to start. Create profiles and join groups related to your niche.

Hi Adkona What Is the Best Way to Generate Traffic to My Website Apart from SEO? Referred traffic is always going to be your highest quality targeted traffic. Referred traffic can be visitors referred by another website or even from an offer on a salesletter you may have sent to them through emailing them the link to it. Even an article or blog post you have that leads them to your site counts as referred traffic as well as joint venture partners who you trade email ads to your respective lists can be included in this category. Referral traffic is your best traffic so that's the answer to your best way to generate traffic to your website in terms of profitability and overall quality for your business.

After natural search engine traffic is PPC or pay per click. This is where you bid on your keywords and then create an ad to your site for people to see your site in the sponsored results or paid listings when they search for your keywords. This is just next to natural search engine traffic in the ranks of best ways to generate traffic to your website.

Hope it will help you

Try to get at least 10-20 articles about your site. Then create email addresses with the name of keywords you are using in your site. There must be atleast four keywords. Now create your account at Squidoo and create lens. Then connect this lens to other social sites like Twitter, Digg,Mixx,Delicious and myspace. Then ping the RSS feed on pingomatic and pingoat sites. Now you will see that that ranking as well as traffic on your site is automatic increased.

I find that article marketing brings me in traffic.

I would suggest writing a couple of articles and submitting them to the top two or three article directories. This works for me, athough be warned that writing and submitting articles can be quite time consuming for a beginner, although it does become quicker with practice.

However you say that you don't have much content on your site, and you could end up by having far more content in your articles than on your actual site.

What you could do is to rewrite the articles and add the rewritten content to your site to bulk it out a bit. As I understand it a 'bulkier' site with quality content will be treated more favourably by the search engines than a flimsy site with duplicated content.

Steven Wagenheim, who often frequents this forum, has some good books on article writing that I have purchased and that I can recommend, if you want to pursue this further.

Good luck.

hi adkona,
In addition to what other warriors have mentioned, one strategy to adopt is 'giveaways'. free reports around your niche, 'how to reports' free valuable information on other useful leads will build the traffic you so badly need to succeed as an internet marketer. You must give to receive. You can think in terms of a bait to use to fish. The better your bait, the better your catch

you can SEO any page as long as it has "some" content. You would be surprised, there are even tricks to SEO a "empty" page with an affiliate redirect ONLY. I have seen high ranked sites which had only a redirect to an affiliate site!

So..SEO it, 4 pages is good!!!

Furthermore, article writing, social bookmarking, lenses, bloggers, web2.0 properties. Let someone build backlinks. Tweet to twitter. Combine all this.

Also, you can add articles/sub-pages to ANY site. And the article can be seo optimized, and you could have the article link back to your site.

Create backlinks by making comments on other people's blogs. Make sure your comments are valuable and worth reading and leave a link to your site.

I think social networks and social forums are great for traffic the problem is they do not offer Bank links and other important SEO objects but if you are not interested in SEO it doesn't matter.

Yes, you can get more visitors from Social networks like hi5, facebook, linkedin and there are lots. Create attractive profile there, Then create some groups with (To attract targeted users) then, get few PR+ backlinks to your profiles. You will get MORE and more FRIENDS request from all over the world. Then Your group members will go UP... then you can get visitors to your site and etc.... Hope it helps you other than SEO...

Alternative that can bring in traffic without seo is paying for advertising or SMO

Start working on web 2.0 websites,do effective ppc,be active in social networks and social forums,give free report about your niches,article marketing,submit keyword rich press release can bring you lots of traffic

I guess that SEO is the best way to make huge amounts of traffic without spending tons of money on advertising. You shouldn't lokk for other ways because none is better than SEO.

Most effective traffic generation method?

It depends on which method you choose and how you implement it. Some methods generate free traffic while others involve paid traffic.

In addition, some methods take time to generate traffic while others can be fast. Take these factors into account.

For example, SEO can get you free traffic but may take some time, while PPC which gives you paid traffic may be fast.

Focus on one method to start with.

Add more content to your website and continue to use SEO.
Do it together with social media networking (web2.0).
Analyze traffic data and conversions using Google Analytics or something similar.

Depending on the results, you can then use other methods such as:

Article marketing (article submissions to directories).
Forum posting.
Giving away an ebook, report, tool or anything as a freebie.
PPC.
Classified ads.
Offerering an affiliate program for your product or service.
Press releases.

Cheers
