What is the most effective way to get traffic to your website ?

Social networks can bring good results, as well as posts on popular niche blogs. One of my clients closed 3 deals from 1 blog post (we've got free posts and tons of shares and reposts from smaller blogs)

If you wanna fast and targeted traffic PPC is best way to get it. But you need to learn tracking not to lose money.

Yes paid traffic is good (very fast) and I use it. By the way traffic networks are pretty good and FREE traffic on autopilot

I think that if you're going to do paid advertising lie SEO or Ad Words you're going to get results - however will they be the results you want? Fresh content and marketing is also a key area that should be woven into your marketing and advertising plan too.

I think u can get traffic on your website from social media like facebook. If u have a page on facebook with max 50k likes then you can easily convert 5k to 6k daily traffic on your website.

You can join BingAds for PPC and also, contribute in related forums plus implement good SEO

Do you have a budget, or not?

If you have a budget and know how much it costs to get a customer, and if you know how much your customer is worth, then it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

So...

If you have money and a sales funnel, PPC can be the surest bet.

If you don't have a budget, then content marketing is the best way to get traffic.

Here's a little secret:

While one marketer uses ONE source to get the best traffic for themselves, there is a chance that it may not work out for you or others.

The best advice I can give you is to test all sorts of ways to see what works best for you. If you want long term success with your marketing, you need to realize what is working well for you and what doesn't.

When you test one source and it costs you money, see if it is producing the results that you are looking for. If it doesn't, make a note that this traffic source did not work for you.

Have a list of the winners and the losers. That's what I am doing right now too and have in the past.

You need to use the Social Media site. You can use the Facebook Fan page. You need to have many followers. In this way, you may get the best targeted traffic. Beside the Social Media site, you can use the Relevant Blog commenting, Forum Posting, Article Submission & so on. Thanks for your advance.

It depends on your niche. I've seen websites do really well with nothing but free social media traffic. Some websites operate solely off of forum traffic. Find your target audience, wherever they are, and redirect them to your website. That doesn't always mean that you need paid advertising to do so.

I suggest you to try both free and paid advertising to drive traffic to your website site.

For paid:

* You can do PPC on facebook, bing, adword, gemini ..
* Also you can buy media traffic
* Another super way is Email marketing

For free:

* You can take help from YouTube
* Forum posting
* Blog commenting
* backlinking
* social bookmarking etc
Good luck

Use google trend to check the most search news. Write a blog and make a youtube video about the news.

in my opinion, seo is the best way because it doens't take a lot money and it is quite effcient

Paid advertising is not the best way; there are a lot of ways to get good traffic. You can get traffic from SEO and social media as well. The advantage of running a paid ad campaign from SEO and SMM is you get faster results. However, you also have to consider your sales conversion if you are also successful in this area. A successful marketing campaign is not only based on the number of traffic to a website but it is also based on how well your traffic converts.

In my opinion, the best way to direct the right kind of traffic to your website is through social media. Paid advertising on social media sites or offering special discounts on Facebook or twitter generates valuable traffic. An other tried and tested of attracting audience is through competitions and giveaways.

Paid traffic is going to give you fast results no doubts but at the same time check your bucket also. If you have enough then go for it and keep an eye on conversions. All the best

Traffic is Traffic, no matter where you get it from.

Forums, Social Media, Video Sites, Referral, Paid, you know the lists...

What matters is WHY you want the traffic and WHAT you want that Traffic to do!

The most effective way to grab traffic to a website is to optimize it to keywords that has many monthly searches while the organic competition is low

You can see a few samples here:
Free Reports - Keyword Breaker

No, You are wrong.
If have a lot of money or u r with silver spoon then you can do paid ads, but not everyone.
Qoura, forums, discussion boards, blog comments, social media and sharp on page optimization can get you real traffic. Just you have to target your authentic audience.

#1 TIME
#2 CONTENT
#3 SEO

Social Media, Fiverr, targeted ads. But time & content are truly the best thing. Continually deliver great content. Ya know, If you build it they will come?? True.

Paid advertising is certainly the quickest way to get traffic. But not all traffic is equal. For example, I went to Fiverr and got 6700hits,but not one single opt in. I don't believe that they were genuine hits and I told the seller that.


With paid advertising you must make sure that you get targeted traffic. That is to say your ad goes out only to people who are interested in what you have to offer.


Start with solo ads. You can find good solo ad sellers on Facebook or a company called udimi(dot)com. When you find a seller with good feedback, and who has a subscriber list of people in your niche, purchase just a small number of clicks, say 50 - 100 to test out your link. If you make money, reinvest it in more solo ads and gradually scale it up. And use different solo ad sellers. Don't just use the same one.

After creating a website getting traffic is most important thing. The following factors helps to boost traffic for a website.

1. SEO
   1. On page Optimization
      1. Meta keywords
      2. Keyword based Description
      3. Keyword based URL
      4. Keyword based Title
   1. Off page Optimization
      1. Unique Content
      2. Content Marketing
      3. Blog Marketing
      4. Forum Participation

1. SMM
   1. Facebook
   2. Twitter
   3. Linkedin
   4. Google+

A lot of people do really well with social sites like Pinterest. I think guest posting on high traffic sites are a great way to get free traffic also.

Paid traffic is 100% the way to go. Just make sure it is money that you can afford to lose.

It really depends of the type of your website. Something will work somewhere and on the other place it won't. For example, if you're promoting some kind of service, social and organic searches may perform well, but if you're selling a product, I believe email marketing and such would do much better in the beginning.

I think running Paid Ads from Google might be as fast, the search giant would see you through that

There are many ways but there is one single denominator for all of them: quality of your content and design and its relevance to the targeted keywords. Web is getting more competitive every day, and web surfers expect quality. Google has 200+ different algorithms that analyze your website and determine its ranking. There are online tools that will help you to find out there you stand vs your competition. Best choice is always to hire a SEO pro who can help you to excel

Apart from the point mentioned by you, I also feel answering to the question related to your field on quora is another method by which you can drive traffic to your website. You will able to provide link of your website or provide link of any blog post that are present in your website. In this way you'll be able to drive people to your website. You can also involve in blog commenting suggesting them to read your website blog. In this way they'll visit your website and will get to know about your product and services. Apart from this, guest blogging is yet another method which will help in driving traffic to your website.

Paid traffic with a software that tracks the "bad" traffic and the good "traffic". You can use a VPS for this exact reason and the ad network should provide you with tokens that will show you which traffic is converting the best.

Bing ads can give you tokens and it's pretty cost effective.

The most effective way is to create some content or offer that would go viral.

Go to buzzsumo.com to find content that people share the most in your niche to get some idea about what works.

Then try to create something better and more interesting.

Many great inputs here.
You have good content, you need traffic.
Without traffic, no one will see your content.
What traffic you want to drive, paid or free?

Free - SEO, Social networks & content.
Paid - Adwords, buy cheap regular traffic, buy social traffic, buy free traffic...

I think PPC(pay per click) is a great way to get traffic.but there are also several ways by which you can get massive views to your web application.
SMO(social media optimization) is another way to improve popularity on blogs and websites.Facebook,Twitter,LinkedIn,Google+ are best social media platforms.
For local business, classified submission is a smart option to increase visibility.Video submission is useful for global business.

Nowadays the Social Media site is one of the leading Traffic source. Most of the people are spending their leisure tine by gossiping on the Social media site. So you can use the Social Media site. Beside the Social Media site, you can use Article submission, relevant Blog commenting, Forum posting and so on. You can use many ways at a time, there is no problem. You should choose Do-follow link more & more than the No-follow like. Because the Do-follow link will increase your site traffic & Page rank at a time, while the No-follow link will increase your site traffic only. Thanks for your advance. Best of luck.

There are many alternatives other than paid advertisements. You can use social networking sites to reach to your target audience. Other options would include drop your link, focusing on keywords, writing informative blogs on genuine platforms and also you can post a video which would include all the details of your company.

if you have a cool list, you have free traffic everytime you write to your subs. (zero cost)

if you have a budget you can use PPC / solo-ads

Like others have said, it really depends onyour niche But my favorites are FB, Instagram and Reddit!

And if all else fails...paid traffic Adnium sells adult traffic on CPM, and when you take into account the average CPM rates the eCPC (estimated CPC) it's less than $0.01-$0.015 - so in this case CPM might be more advantageous. I can put you in touch with one of Adnium's Affiliate Managers who can walk you through the set-up process if you're interested. Good luck with whatever you decide to do

social networks are the best ... twitter, facebook, tumblr ....

Most of my traffic is free and comes from Facebook (fanpage), but paid advertising is the fastest way to get traffic. And unless you continuously invest in paid advertising, it'll be short term. Whereas Fanpage traffic can be relatively steadier.

Then comes the question of accurately targeting traffic so that it's people in your niche that would be interested in what you have to offer.

Great points mentioned above!!

To grow your traffic, invest time creating marketing material for the social media platform that works best for your business. Use tools like Canva to quickly create beautiful images! Content marketing, posting on forums and guest blogging are techniques that help increase traffic.

Also what's the point of growing your traffic if they don't convert? Create call to actions to encourage getting their email or future sale. Use CTA's to promote contests/giveaways as well.

If you got money to spend and a sales system in place then Facebook PPC,Solo Ads & Google PPC are effective ways to drive traffic. If you want free traffic then content marketing and blogging work really well.

I agree. Plus it's fast and allows for rapid tracking and testing of different niches.

1. Create quality and unique content
2. Do on-page and off-page SEO technique
3. Build internal and external link system
4. Like social media to promote site

Free traffic takes time and time is money.
Paid traffic can be scary at first, but start small and track and test from the absolute beginning.
If you want to try Facebook ads, buy a course first or you may lose tons of money

drama and controversy on other people's sites...

Here is Ryan Holiday on the subject:

Paid is the quickest way, but like everything you need to take time to learn the best forms of paid and then how to use it so you don't lose your shirt. Best way is probably use one paid form and work a couple of free ways too.

Yes, I agree. But we can drive traffic from organic resources too. Which is also quality traffic.

The most effective way to get traffic is paid advertising. You can harness the power of social media channels. SEO and Content Marketing can drive a lot of organic traffic. Target the relevant users rather than focusing on masses. In order to get best results i would recommend you to use paid advertising, SEO and Contenting marketing.

YES!!!

Yes. the best way is ADVERTISING.

If you pay, you can do the math: having control to the ROI (what you spend / what you earn)

The best traffic source nowadays is Facebook Ads for generic purpose.

Also Solo Ads are good: you have only to find a good seller...

As many members have clearly stated about PPC Google campaigns, which also gives you boost in rankings for your selected key terms. Despite that, every webmaster should check out HTML & CSS validity for their business websites. This is a very useful link,

What's Wrong with YOUR Website? - CUTCODEDOWN

the most effective is paid traffic...

anything else is not guaranteed

have you lost faith in search engine free traffic bro ?

Social media (FB, twitter, etc.) are powerful and free....

or you can leverage bot traffic to get massive ppc credits, it's pretty simple

Best option is video of course. Google owns you tube and will give your videos top ranking in its search engine. It is a lot easier to rank if you have a video, that a blog post or a web page. Traffic is easy to get and you do not have to pay. However, if you do pay... you can get excellent super max conversion.

Get over to stock footage for free and pick up some B roll for your mini movie. It is free and that means no green. Video is what I do rec. It is where we want to be if you wanna SELL your product or service. Leverage you tube to bring traffic to you. Content creation is the key to winning. Do not let any one confuse you.

I use a lot of content from:

• video hive
• pond5
• a luna blue
• the clip archive
• video blocks
• audio blocks
