As I've seen some people do use Angela and Paul's Link Building to gain more traffic because it will put your site into Page Rank #1 in Google. You can PM me for the link.

I usually submit articles to places like EZA for a quick surge in visitors.

Than I try and get my articles on the blog ranked in the search engines via social bookmarking them.

Depending on what niche you are in you should not be trying to send visitors via PPC, it could get very expensive.

If you are trying to gain visitors for a blog than I recommend trying to get ranked high for a good keyword.

Forum posting is always a great way too.

Eric

Thanks

I have submitted one of our sites to dmoz, but my understanding is that it is very hard to get accepted and time consuming. Thanks!

The carolinainvestor site is still pretty young. I have a pretty high percentage of visitors registering right now so I dont want to chance pushing anyone away. My PLCMentor.com site is much more aggressive at getting people to sign up.
thanks for the suggestions!

Eric, Thanks for the ideas! I just started with article submission today. I have noticed that many here rely on it. Some of our sites are associated with industrial automation. Is there a technical article site for such articles?

  Hey everybody,
  
  I want to share with you a few forms of traffic. Some of them are very powerfull. I give you some tips from our marketing shool. You can use free or paid ads.
  
  Free:
  
  - CraigsList. Craigslist is a central netwotk of online communities, featuring free clasifieds advertisments and forums of various topics. Craigslist is EXTREMELY high traffic website that you can effectively use to get some excellent traffic for your webiste.
  
  - Free classifieds ads. There are tons of free classifieds ads where you can put your ads. for ex: UsFreeads, Backpage, Inetgiant,Bestwaytoclassified.
  You can here aslo paid for your ad for increase traffic.
  
  - Of course Twitter. Everybody know that twitter is very powerfull.
  
  - Article marketing is also very powerfull. If you know how to use it you can have a huge free traffic from search engines.
  
  -Forum marketing...put signature link and give some good report.
  
  - Video marketing. We have learned how to make a quick video within 10 minutes. Put your videos on youtube anb other video portals. Video marketing is also free and you can have a huge traffic from search engines, but you have know how to do it.
  
  - Safelist marketing. The advantage of safelist marketing is that 90% of members are not successfull. This give you a big opportunity to advertise your business.
  
  -Traffic exchange. The same think just like in safelist marketing. 90% of members are not successfull. The trick is to join as many traffic exchanges as possible (that is rule for safelist too). You get some free credits so is possible to have 2000-5000 visitors in first 10 days. Just search in google for traffic ecxhanges and safelists.
  
  These are some of forms for free advertisements.
  
  Now some paid ads.
  
  - Everybody knows google adwords, but don´t forget that there are some others pay per click sites where you can put your ad. On these sites there are not competition because everybody use google...
  
  - Solo ezine ads. These is very powerfull low cost marketing. The founder of our school Vick Strizheus is expert in low cost marketing and I am very very gratefull that I learned from him powerful tricks.
  
  These are some quick tips for quick results in your business. I mentioned especially free form of advertisement. I hope that you apreciated.
  
  In our school we learn very very powerfull tricks how to do internet marketing.
  If you have desire to explode your income I really recommend check my website, read carefully and I promise that you wil be blown away.
  
  Jiri Majkus

Great stuff! Yes I understand from my older sites that content is king! Much of your work is done for you over time if you have good content. You mention reliable hosting. Are you simply thinking of up time or can your web host affect a ranking some how?

I really am going to have to break down and look into the social sites.

Thanks!

#4 means when you are naming your post or article... you want the desired keywords in the titles. You'll rank for those terms so much faster.

# 9 means that you have chance to bring in more traffic by going to answers.yahoo.com and answering questions about your niche that others have posted. You can answer the queries and receive link back to your site this way. Also helps establish your name in the market.
Some sneakier folks go in, ask a question with one ID, then go answer with a different ID.

I personally use a combo of backlink building..like blog commenting..3 way linking services and article marketing. Works really well for me.

Social media news sites like digg and reddit, and links from partner sites bring a lot of readers.

A popular story on a social media site is tens of thousands of visitors over a few hours at minimum. Can be 100k+ over days.

They can be mysterious and frustrating to figure out, which is mostly a drawback for people who give up easily.

Thanks

I use a combination of methods to bring traffic to my website and blogs. I write new content on my website on a regular basis. This leads to a better rank on Google especially for my new blog posts. I also use Directory submission from time to time to build back links. I use article distribution once every month and send out 1 press release every month. Lately I have been using social media to drive traffic and increase back links.

Though this may appear to be self serving, another method is to run a promotional sweepstakes to create buzz and drive traffic to your site. Sweepstakes done right have proven to be an extremely effective, almost foolproof marketing strategy. The key to making the traffic targeted is to promote the offer to your niche so you need to go to the places the people in your niche hang out.

If you check out my signature link you can learn more about running sweepstakes in general.

Awesome! Thanks for all the ideas! I am embarassed to say I have never even been on twitter. I guess I can put that in my column with social web sites. I have done a lot with videos so you may be able to put together videos in 10 minutes, but it takes time to work your skills up to the point where you can record, edit, produce and post the video quickly. Can be verrrrry time consuming. Of course also very effective. I get several youtube subscribers a day and many of them port over to my site.

You guys are amazing. I would have never thought of a sweepstakes. I have seen what I would guess could be termed a sweepstakes for developing new forum traffic, but never thought about it for a site before. I would have to look carefully into what the outlay would be.

Own Google, Yahoo, and MSN. This is done through quality SEO. All you need are these 5 things:

1) Backlinks
2) Meta-tags with your keyword (Meta Title, and Meta Description are CRITICAL)
3) Keyword Density (3-7%) in your web content
4) A URL with your Keywords REALLY helps
5) An Older Domain name (you get with time)

Hi all warriors,

In my case, 82% of traffics to my site comes from SEs (mainly Google). The remaining are direct and referral traffics.

I got this info from Google Analytics.

How i achieved this?

I concentrate on adding unique contents to my site on regular basis and targeting for long tail keywords.

Keyword research is crucial before deciding on what content/pages to be added to my site.

I only targeting for keywords with high KEI at all three major SEs.

This is what i'm focusing now.

Other than that, i also did some marketing via directory submission, SEO, and link exchange.

Now only i'll start exploring on how i can gain from social networking site.

Cheers..

Yeah adwords can get expensive quick and I think even those that have been using for years have to constantly adjust to keep up the market changes. I am still using it, but sparingly on a few low cost picks. It's amazing the difference in costs between buying clicks in the US/Canada versus some other countries. You can go from .05 to .3 for the same search. Also different industries really vary. On some of my sites $1.50 will barely buy a click. Other sites I can get clicks for .10-.15.

I never thought about buying sigs. I have seen them for sale, but never really thought about it past that. Interesting... Exchanges are also a good idea.

Backlinks I am working on now. Meta-tags and keywords are simple, but easy to overlook in all the rush to do everything else. That keyword density thing must be an art. I have a hard time writing with keywords and not the subject at mind. The URL thing is huge. I could not get past being #2 on yahoo and I think it was the url. I got a new url that's better, but young. Oh well ... like a fine wine.

There are some very good automated "bots" out there that submit articles to hundreds of directories, press release bots to distribute your press releases to 25 of the top, free online Press Release Services with one click.

Also a directory bot that will submit your site to hundreds of directories with one click and you can submit your RSS Feeds to major online aggregators automatically.

This kind of software is very efficient and saves many hours while getting your site information to as many people as possible.

It is like have a virtual assistant

Much success to you.

Finally somebody that agrees with me on that. I get some grief for my "million visitors" thing listed in my sig. It's a type of viral advertising that gets people to click on your ad to sign up. Obviously some people are there just to complete the steps. There are some that get interested and stay. Even one extra interested visitor for free is ok with me!

- Minimize outbound links
- Keep your pages under 100K in size
- Keep the number of links on a page to less then 100
Design the navigational structure of the site to channel PR to main pages (especially the homepage)
Create a page that encourages webmasters to link to your site
- Provide them the relevant HTML to create their link to you (make sure the anchor text contains keywords)
- Provide them with any images you may want them to use (although text links are better)

Immediately, after starting your site you should do the following:

Create Webmaster Accounts
- Google Webmaster Tools
- Yahoo! Site Explorer
- Live Search Webmaster Center
Submit your site to all three major search engines
- Google
- Yahoo (Use the page list option)
- MSN
Create an XML sitemap
Submit your site to all free directories. Do it by hand. It will not take long to do and will ensure that you are successful in submitting each form with the correct information. There is a constant debate about how search engines feel about automated submission software. Since there is a reasonable chance these are frowned upon by the search engines, and since you can do anything they can do on your own, you might as well avoid them.
- DMOZ (also powers Google Directory)
- JoeAnt
Submit your site to relevant directories (directory lists below)
- Directory Critic
- Directory Rate
- ISEDB
Begin a link building campaign (attempting to get keywords in the link anchor text)
- Put a link to your website in your forum signatures
- Reply to relevant blog posts (Don't spam please)

If you will pay to promote your website:

Submit your site to pay directories
- Yahoo
- GoGuides

Finally, as part of an ongoing strategy:

Continually update your website with quality, unique content
Continually seek free links preferably from sites in your genre

Easy! Easy?

I currently get 300-500 visitors a day normally. When I put out 1 email blast, I can at least triple that for about 4 days straight. Email lists are very important!

I also do heavy forum work...

Thanks

Very true. I am not sure easy is the best description! Straight forward maybe, but time consuming. You lay out a great list of areas to pay attention to. I am going to have to take it and look over my sites with that in mind. Thanks for your time putting this together for all of us!

I have had similar results with my mature sites. A regular newsletter can really boost your repeat visitors. I don't know maybe you are referring to using a list which I have not done. I do have great success reminding users to come back to the site with some type of email.

Are there similar boosts with email lists or exchanges?

Thanks

Not many, of course, my primary focus is ebay marketing, so in a way (because of ebay fees), I'm paying for traffic (much like pay per click). this can get just as expensive if your not careful and if you don't know what your doing.

I also started some affiliate marketing on the side while my ebay business works for me on the forefront.

Because of my prior business in network marketing, I know what most marketing techniques are worth my time and which ones aren't

Listbuilders are awesome

pay per click awesome

video marketing = awesome

articles = pretty good (depending on where you post them)

blogs = fantastic with good promotion

Seems like a lot, but really, I only focus on getting one thing done at a time

Thanks

Ebay Sensei - I like that! Let me bow in...

I agree that Ebay can get expensive, but also that there are ways to keep the costs managable. For me it works as an additional marketing outlet.

there are so many ways to drive traffic to your site. In my opinion the most important thing to keep in mind is being the right niche and targetng the right keywords. i have had sites that out the door were getting 200 uniques a day. with only 15 or 20 links. The right keyword niches + an aged domain + good content and an optimized site = success. Links are the fuel that keep that success going.

For affiliate offers: PPC. I always use PPC to test an affiliate offer before doing anything else. It's easy and can be done cheaply, if done corectly (I use both Adwords, MSN and Yahoo to test)

For blog traffic: Article marketing and Twitter/Squidoo/Hubpages works the best for me

i'm targeting for organic traffic because this will be permanent and free.

most of my marketing effort is to get my pages ranked at higher position in google/yahoo for as many keywords as can.

social networks, twitter, facebook, myspace, forum, blog commenting, etc. are very good ways of getting traffic but cannot beat organic traffic because of high ranking in search engines.

What is yours and why? Are there any drawbacks? You can limit it to the top three to keep the length reasonable.

Here are 3 of mine:

1. Forums - Forums are generally targeted to specific audiences which allows you to better target your traffic. Over time you can build a reputation (that can be good and bad). Can be time consuming and addictive.

2. Adwords - Works better for some niches than others. When it works it really works well. Can be expensive. There is a learning curve.

3. Youtube - I have not done any Youtube for my you IM site, but it can be huge if you have real information and can put together a video that people want to watch. ALWAYS put a link in your description so that people can easily follow to your website. Videos can be extremely time consuming to create, edit and produce.

Thanks!

I love twitter. I have about 1500+ followers in my twitter account and everytime I post a message, I receive about 20 to 50 clicks back.
It is not too much but it happens immediately and this is a power.

I think you mean you are getting links from those sites. I dont think it helps your site ranking to have outgoing links. Correct me if I am wrong.

Don't be afraid of PPC! Just use it wisely. You can get lots of info here and other places, but the real way to learn is by doing. There are freebies all over the place for google, yahoo, etc. Get the credits and use them to learn. I have heard of a $250 credit out there, but all I got was a little $50 one. Keep in mind you can limit your daily expenditure and you can set it up so it only uses the money you put in the account. Yes money can go fast if you are not careful. You can also have fantastic results for little or no money, but totally be reaching the wrong audience. I have always said that any traffic is good traffic, but all traffic may not be good traffic if you are paying for it! Just research and jump in! You can figure out how to set it up to be affordable to you.

Well answering questions is not a big deal - just create an account and go. I am not the one to ask about anything else as I just got suspended! I have no reason why as I cant seem to get that secret out of them. I am going to post a question here to see if anyone can shed some light. Also keep in mind if you get suspended, all your answers are removed. Even brilliant ones like all of mine...

Ok I'm coming back here with egg on my face. I have defended and promoted the viral marketing site that works kinda like MLM. Well I'm not going to say I'm dropping out because I still believe that any traffic from it is good, but it is out of my sig. It just has not taken off like I expected. Kind of like MLM, your success depends on the downline. At least with MLM you know who your downline is so you can help them out.

Oh well all you people that said it was worthless...I guess you are being proven right.
