How to get more traffic?

19 replies
Hey everyone,


I've did article marketing, video marketing, comment backlinking, and such.. but my traffic is still low! Is there any other ways to market my site to get more traffic?

    You can get a decent amount of traffic from those methods.

    How many articles and videos have you produced? Are you including keywords in them to optimize for search traffic? Don't forget to submit to multiple article directories and video site (You Tube, Veoh, Google Video, Daily Motion) And don't forget about social bookmarking sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Squidoo, etc...

    Hope that helps and hope I didn't sound like a nagging mother.

      If you are using article marketing correctly .. you need to know what the keywords you have targeted are supposed to bring in via the search engines daily .

      How many of those visitors are coming from articles ?
      How many from video?

      How many visitors from the comments . The back links are nice but you should be targeting blogs and forums that have people interested in buying your products .

    Strange enough... my very old blog which is around 1 year old gets more traffic than any other of my websites!

    Mostly from organic traffic.

    Looks like you have several websites. This can be tough to push traffic to these sites all at once.

    Focus on one site - make it work for you, create content and get backlinks.

    Absolutely optimizing articles, blogs, videos, press releases are the way to go for traffic for a phenomenal free or inexpensive way of bringing people to you. Its great to have traffic but out of those 20-40 hits a day how many opt ins or sales-the trick is making your stuff as specific as possible to bring in the most targeted sales. If you are bringing in 20 hits that are really targeted a day and getting 5 sales or optins, that's a lot better than bringing in hundreds a day of just garbage leads and views. A lot of Traffic is great like I said, but me personally conversions which means $cash$ is way better to me.

    writing articles will benefit you in the long run. Once you post an article, that doesn't mean your site will immediately receive a boost in traffic.

    not too sure about the other methods. am still learning myself. but all this takes time, so be patient. (:

    Why you build so many website, if I may ask?
    Focus on one of your sites first and you must be patience too.
    It is need TIME.

    The combination between GOOD content, building keywords, backlinking, article marketing, social bookmarking and press release would be good for it.
    But, as I said above, everything need TIME..

      You can do lots more articles, lots more videos and more commenting. How much of this did you do. You can use Twitter to get traffic.

        Hey,

        Actually to get more traffic is depending on the quality in performing all methods you mentioned.

        For example, in choosing high quality keywords, in choosing the sites in which you submite your articles to, in making good articles too and so on , there`s many other factors shall determine your traffic , i may share you thise 7 seven steps with explanation to have a wider view about how to attract more traffic , and of course you can find much more on web.

        1.Network within Social Communities. This includes posting and interacting with other people on relevant forums, social networks like Facebook, news sites like Digg/Reddit as well as blog sites like Blogcatalog or MyBloglog. There will always been people on crowded online communities and you will always get some visitors if you plug your site discreetly in the right places.

        2.Create a Weekend Link Bait. Establish the habit of creating and promoting a weekend Link Bait on popular social websites like Digg, Reddit, del.icio.us or StumbleUpon. This is by the far the easiest and most powerful way to get traffic to your site during the weekends.
        Social news sites usually get less news during the weekend, and it is likely that your bait will be more successful during this time.


        3.Comment on Blogs. While many blogs don't update during the weekend, you can still comment on the ones that do. Focus on those with more traffic and try to be the first few to leave a comment. Make your comment relevant and you're likely to receive some visitors from others who visit the same blog.

        4.Email Pitch Your Website. Write an email to bloggers within your niche to promote your website, business or best article for last week. Give away a product or offer premium access for selected publishers in return for a mention.
        Some blogs like Daily Blog Tips have a habit of doing weekend speed-linking. Pitch your site to these blogs and you'll get some traffic if you get a link.


        5.Try Blog Traffic Exchanges. Blog traffic exchanges are tools which allow you to get traffic by visiting other blogs. They are more useful for newer blogs and as they require more time and effort on your part, I suggest using them strategically to find new blogs within your niche as well.

        6.Use Paid Advertising. This involves spending money on paid advertising in order to get traffic to your website. Pay per click advertising and social media advertising on sites like StumbleUpon can bring in traffic on the weekends. The benefit of this method is that you don't have to do any work whatsoever.

        7.Publish During the Weekend. Publishing during the weekend will get you some traffic, especially if you have many feed subscribers as some of them will visit your site to read the full article or comments. Smaller sites can also benefit as new content will bring in a small amount of long tail search traffic.
        Future publish your post during the weekend so you don't have to sit down in front of the computer to write. Asking a question is sometimes the quickest way to put out an extra blog post.

        B.Regards...

    Another method is yahoo answers I'm sure there are lots of questions regarding Acne and how to get rid of it, if your blog can answer those questions then put your answer on yahoo answers then as the reference material post a link to your blog saying that the information came from there.

    This is a very cheap way of getting highly targeted traffic
