INTERNET MARKETING

Hey! Traffic is one of the most important things when it comes to making money online, I currently get millions of unique visitors to my sites every year and decided to write this post showing you different ways you can get traffic. Hopefully this post will help some people that are struggling to get traffic to their sites. Enjoy!

In no particular order...

Create a site map and submit it to google.
Add a bookmark this button in a visible place.
Add an RSS subscribe button in a visible place
Submit your RSS feed to RSS directories.
Write articles and submit them to article directories.
Write press releases and submit them to press release sites.
Make a 404 redirect page that sends visitors to your home page to stop you losing visitors.
Answer peoples questions on yahoo answers with a link back to your site.
Submit a blog to blog directories.
Create a new free product to giveaway. If it goes viral then you will get visitors plus you can build a list.
Write a great article or something interesting and email other blogs and websites in your niche to get them to link to you.

Advertise on related forums in your niche. Lots of forums allow banner advertising.

Submit videos with links back to your site to you tube, google vids etc.
If you have a good product send it out to blogs and people with mailing lists to get it reviewed and some of them will mail out or post about it.

Use ebays classified ads with links back to your site.
Create free ebook and create a squeeze page and email everyone you can find that has a website in your niche or a mailing list and tell them about it. They will then post or email about it and you can get thousands of visitors and subscribers.
Exchange links with other people in your niche.

  But keep in mind, it isn't always about the quantity of traffic but the quality.
  
  People often forget there is a whole world of offline advertising available.
  
  You could also:
  
  Run an cheap classified ad or small display ad in Thrifty Nickel or Pennysaver newspaper
  Run two-step ad in magazines for leads
  Mail postcards to a good buyer list of names from a list broker

Interesting. I came across the tip: "Social bookmark your pages." and I just had to share something extra. Instead of social bookmarking our pages, what we can do is to make it easier for our readers to bookmark our pages.

If you're a wordpress owner, there are several plugins that would add bookmarking buttons at the end of our posts.

Great info!

Nice list, but "million's of unique visitors"?

That will take quite a bit of time I think, than with a more automated backlink building system.

The best way is with free scripts, products, graphics, or tools that people can download, install, use, then pass around.

These scripts or other products will all have links back to your site, and by giving away useful stuff will lead to thousands of links back to your site with very little work on your part.

These other methods, while good...

Depend on your own ability to generate interest in what your have to say or write, many do not have this ability.

By the way, any website with "million's" of unique visitors, is worth a bundle.

Targeted or not...

Thanks

Hey Eric. Building backlinks and getting traffic
are two completely different things. Building
backlinks is about working your way up the search
engines for your targeted keyword. This post is
about ways to get traffic not build backlinks.

If your talking about the backlink method of
submitting your pad file so it gets picked up
by directories then this won't get you any
targeted traffic and the backlinks it produces
will be very low quality.

This method may give you a boost in the search
engines which could result in some search engine
traffic but the backlinks it produces are of low
quality. Yes it's quick and easy to do but when
it comes to building backlinks I'd rather have less
good quality links than thousands of spammy links
from software directories. This is just my opinion
from what I have found from implimenting this method.
Btw did you learn this method from 30 minute backlinks?

You can always choose a niche you are interested
in. Or you can outsource work which a lot of people
do. Plus it is not really necessary to have interest in
every niche you are in. Internet marketing can be
boring a lot of the time, if someone doesn't have the
ability to stay focused then they aren't going to get
very far in this game.

100% Correct but my traffic doesn't all go to one site.

I'm talking about distributing products from and building links back to your own site, not a software directory. The other method of uploading PAD files to directories does also work, to a limited extent.

You need backlinks to build traffic long term. There is no web site with millions of natural unique visits per year without them- and a lot of them.

The idea of "spammy links"...

Any time you "mass submit" anything- such as posts, articles. podcasts, pad files, or whatever, you run the risk of spammy links.

To do this by hand will be a full time job- 40 hour weeks, and maybe... just maybe most will manage a few hundred visits per week.

No I didn't read that book you mentioned, never heard of it.

And how old are your busiest sites?

Pretty old and well established I would bet.

Best!

Thanks

Yes you are totally correct but again this
thread and the post I made has nothing to
do with getting backlinks.

When it comes to backlinks it's about quality
not quantity. The method of mass submitting
may give you a quick boost but your rankings
will go away if you can't maintain them.

Instead you should go for quality links then you
will sustain your rankings for longer periods of
time as I have found from having many hundreds
of first page rankings for many medium to high
competition keywords. To get that success I had
to test everything to see what works and what
doesn't. So when it comes to getting backlinks
and traffic I know what works.

Originally Posted by Eric Lorence

Not if you do it the right way.. But it sounds
like your saying is that you should get as many
thousands of links as you can as quickly as you
can so you don't have to do any work in the
future? And you expect to get longterm
sustainable rankings doing this?

Again this post was about getting traffic
not backlinks. Maybe I'll do a post in the future
about the best ways to get high quality
backlinks if I get the time and then we can
argue about who's methods are best then.

But until then. Peace.

Will

Terry H makes a good point though, you want to make sure that you are receiving quality visitors to your webpage at the same time. Quantity is great, so its probably a good idea to focus and funnel it to a targeted audience. Nice post!
