Driving Website Traffic

Hi

You may not know, but there is a search function here on the forum.

Traffic is one of the most written-about topics so you'll find more useful information than you can shake a stick at.

Cheers,

Neil

Thanks Neil, I'm still learning my way around the Warrior forum.

Link Building can definitely be an extremely difficult task if you want to
take it on based on purely human labor to go out and request for links,
whether they are one way or reciprocal.


Here I am trying to bring few tips and few resources of link building which
you may find worth to have a look



Submit to Web Directories:

Do slow and continuous directory submissions for your site. This is an
important long term work and solution for any site. Start doing directory
submission from the very first day you site is up. Here are few free,
non-reciprocal directories:


http://www.dmoz.org 9
Librarians' Internet Index 8
http://www.femina.com 7
http://www.gogreece.com 7
South Australia Central 7
http://www.worldhot.com/ 7
123India.com - India's Premier Portal-1 7
Directory - E-commerce and Shopping Online 7
Ezilon.com - Regional Web Directory and Search Engine 6
Epooch Shopping Directory 6
At Home With ChristiansUnite.com - Christian Resources 6
Toronto business directory,Toronto events,Toronto news,Toronto classifieds,Toronto software development,Toronto Internet application,Toronto web sites & hosting 6

http://www.aardvark.co.za 6
NZS.com : New Zealand Search Engine & Web Directory, NZ Directory of Sites, Search New Zealand Online 6

Reciprocal Link Building:

Contacting webmasters of relevant sites requesting for have a link
exchange. Write personalized emails to request for link exchange. It will
be better if you write 2-3 good things about their site and tell them how
link exchange will benefit both parties. Also, mentioning good qualities and
PageRank is always good idea.


Do not forget to ask and give (1) URL of link, (2) Title of link, and (3) Description of Link


Now, main thing is How to find good link partner. Search google and other
search engines for terms like: "keyword reciprocal links", "keyword
links", "Keyword link exchange", "keyword link submit", "Keyword link
partner" etc.


Article Submissions:

Yeah, write quality articles which have some interesting and useful stuff,
and submit them to free article directories.


You need to put link back to your site. Let your article do double duty- (1)
bring traffic and (2) link building. You need to make your keywords
anchor of link to your site.


To be very frank, I see quick results when I succeed to place my 2-3
articles on high PageRank and high traffic sites. Some times we need to
submit article like submission to directories and sometimes we need to
request webmaster via e-mail. You need to tell them why they should put
your article on their site.


Here's the list of top article sites you should submit your articles:

1. http://www.ezinearticles.com

Social Networking / Social Group Sites:

Social networking sites like www.myspace.com are very useful these days
to not only get links but also huge traffic. One more benefit of being
active is you get thousands of friends to make and then convert them into
your customers.


Participating in social group / networking sites are proving boon now a
days. There are scores of such sites available these days. People are
making money by selling the list if their friends at those site. This is a
great way to have links and traffic.

Link from .org and .edu sites:

The education and organization sites are considered more valued sites and
links coming from those sites are valuable link. You need to search those
sites.


Just find out some forums and blogs of the organizations and education
body which have content relevant to your site. Make blog comments and
put links in them, make sure your comment is genuine and not spam.
Read the whole topic and find something to comment on the topic... job is
done.


Same way leave your links in forums signature. There is few hot topics on
forum signature telling importance at seo point of view and traffic point of
view. Go ahead and do it, you'll make valuable links.


You can do the blog comment and forum sign at non .org and no .edu sites.


Social Book marking Site Submission:

Now a day's people are taking interest in social bookmarking. So, I
thought I should start the service of social bookmarking. Yeah, it is worthy
enough to pay someone to do social bookmarking.


For those who are new to it, in social bookmarking system, users store
lists of Internet resources, which they find useful. These lists are
accessible to the public for their views and comments. This became a
great seo technique now.


Here are few good social bookmarking sites:

Don't be afraid to use the Thanks button either

Check this out - Google Says EDU Links Are Not Better Links

Mueller talks about quality content rather than a link from a TLD carrying more weight than the other.

Wouldn't it be nice if Google just gave us the direct answers?

I just did a video called 10 Internet Marketing Guru Secrets that includes some tips on traffic.

The link is a direct link to view the video - no signup required.

I hope you find it useful.

Hi

Personally I would set up an Adwords campaign probably over pay for some clicks and see if that make any return on investment.
That will normally show you very quickly if people buy, sign up and do stuff online.

YOu also get massive amounts of great info.

NOt the cheap option but you can spend a few hundred and know if you should continue on or get out early.
