    Can you tell us more about your choices. Which article directories do you like best, where do you find your JVs and where do you get the best results from your solo ads? Thanks

      I can set up a site on any niche, and in 2 weeks start recieving 100-300 visitors a day.

      using only free methods to start. then when the site is making about $500 a month I use ppc to increase the total profit per month to about $700

        To all the people using Press releases for traffic, does the traffic actually convert to sales?
        Im very curious to this because press releases cost so much and yet allot of people use them for marketing.

          It all depends on what you are marketing. Personally, my favorite uses for press releases are:

          1. Driving traffic to an online store.

          2. Driving Traffic to a blog

          3. Driving traffic to a newly launched product.

          Should you decide to do a press release, I highly recommend Prweb. And I stress that you take advantage of their package that allows you to add video.

          Lastly, unless you can write, outsorce the writing of your press release.

            Hey Anthony,

            Thanks for answering my questions.

            But is PR traffic targetted?
            I assume all the traffic is press related...people like journalists right?

              Hey folks, I am looking to start my traffic driving plan and I see a lot of you say SEO and Forum for getting traffic and blogs.

              My questions would be what is the best way to find related forums and blogs for a particular niche?

              Thanks

                      We are getting great results using a variety of social media sites including the obvious ones (squidoo, hubpages, etc) but in combination with many other sites, and of course social bookmarking.

                      Having multiple networks of networks really drives up keyword rankings, which in turns increases traffic.

                      Works for us

                Interesting to see how little mentions of link traffic and banner space there are

              If you want to increase site traffic, you've got to write content. People will not visit your site if you don't write a decent amount of good quality content, and new visitors definitely won't come back. So keep writing great posts!

              Thanks

              It's much better to stay around 3 basic strategies and concentrate their efforts instead of spreading your time and money in all new ideas. Do the basics correctly and consistently and you will see your traffic grow exponentially. Make a little" about many things and ends up chasing its tail and go nowhere!

              In my opinion, the three top ways which I use to drive traffic toward my site are Article Submission, Social Bookmarking, and Search engines. I prefer Article submission most to get traffic and backlinks to your website. There are many well established article directories that have been proven to get websites traffic. People search for articles in different categories and after reading the article they usually follow a link at the bottom of the article to your website.

            Depends on what I want the traffic to do and what I what the traffic to do next, so this is not a "carved in marble" list, but my top 3 methods are:

            Article Marketing
            SEO
            Syndicating content via RSS

            Don't think in terms of creating a picture from scratch.
            You'll get much more traffic and many many more sales if you think of it as "painting by numbers". Each step in the process is important, but even more important is to get the individual bits lined up with each other.

            There are lots of ways to drive traffic to your site. All the postings are pretty good. Now if you're talking about a way to drive traffic to your site that will cost some money then pay per click is the way to go. I don't recommend adwords so much unless you have the budget. There are other sites like 7search and looksmart for a fraction of the price. Article writing is a good option too. Make sure that when you choose an article site that you start posting on the high pr sites then work your way down to the lower ranking sites. High pr sites are very important because the search engines like google love them and crawl those site quite often. The same applies to blogs, make sure you get the high pr sites to post your links on. Doing this will create a lot of good backlinks to your site. That leads into the third, SEO getting good quality backlinks will help your ranking on the search engines. Believe me it works wonders. I use comment hut to find good high ranking pr sites. give the free version a try.

            I promote real products (mainly in the UK) like at Amazon etc.

            [1] highly targeted keywords

            [2] On page SEO...

            [3] An unusual linking strategy...

            On page SEO and a few decent text links (even from irrelevant sites) = mega traffic.

            I've been in SEO for years and half the time I explain to Google Account managers how google works.

            It's all about on page SEO at the moment...

            A lot of text, a few anchor text links, keyword page names, different meta sections on each page, and a sprinkle of graft.

            Regards

          Im very curious to this because press releases cost so much and yet allot of people use them for marketing.
          "Says who" that Press Releases "cost so much"?

        I can set up a site on any niche, and in 2 weeks start recieving 100-300 visitors a day.

        using only free methods to start. then when the site is making about $500 a month I use ppc to increase the total profit per month to about $700
        That's nice one, thank for your response.

        Hi Nicolasb, sounds like you have a great system!
        I have finally found my first profitable niche. I received my first sale on clickbank and was thrilled. Since then, I have trying to come up any way to build more traffic by writing articles for bukisa, hubpages,ehow, etc. I have tried yahoo answers, and I am making a few bucks a week, but I feel like I'm wasting alot of time trying this and that on ways that don't really bring traffic.

        I was wondering if you could share some advice on a few specific sites or ways to build some solid traffic that I can focus more attention on instead of dabbling with several sites that give little results?

        Thanks Nicolasb for any advice you can offer.

        Hi Nicholas,
        I am interested in learning more about the free strategies that you use...basically how many article directories do you use to get that kind of traffic. I had tried one of those article submitters which submits to 500-1000 directories but found it not worth my time.

        Also what is traffic exchanges?

        thanks a ton!

        Hmmm..
        Forums can give me quality traffic.
        But if it's just about traffic, then
        it will be traffic exchange.. ^_^
        As for the social networks, I need

    Google AdWords has taken a back seat at the moment, but it used to be my main source of traffic. Made quite a profit from AdWords, and will definitely invest in it again in the very near future. It provides very targeted traffic and thus a far higher conversion rate than any other traffic method I've tried.

    My way is very simple -

    - Put original contain with keywords
    - Use Social bookmarking for it
    - start building links with that keywords

    So far this one was successful for me and I will keep using it unless and until google change their method.

        Youtube itself generates tonnes of traffic. Sometimes even more than search engines itself.

        1. SEO (mainly google)
        2. PPC (Search & Content)
        3. Articles
        Alvin, where do your traffic comes from if you are doing blogging? Search engines? or just regular visitors who already frequent your blog?

        Or do you give comments from other blogs? and get traffic from there?

        btw, saw u & ur gf at tampines near ur place, in beach wear waiting for taxi, two or three months ago. lol... and you and your sleeping attire (i presume) going for early morning breakfast, just tickles me. hahaha.

    There are literally hundreds of methods that get traffic. However, which methods convert?

    Basically, adding content to other places around the web works, however, not just any content, content that is targeted to your buyer.

    Pre-selling your product is critical to get the conversions you want. There is no point in driving traffic if it does not convert.

    So, really you could concentrate on one method of driving traffic only and make sure you are pre-selling your product to get the desired results.

    7 Free Traffic Tips (That Actually Work!): Part 1

    I want to give you a fair warning: If you are a looking for an article that teaches you how to get tons of free traffic to your websites with little to no work, then don't read this article. What I want to share with you today is a few of the real techniques for getting free hits on your website. And since these are real techniques for driving real, targeted traffic to your website, they involve actual work. But, as simple as this 7 tips may be, I know that if you implement them then you can save yourself hundreds of thousands of dollars in online internet advertising costs.
    Tip #1: You need to use article marketing, no matter how unappealing that concept may be to you.
    There is no doubt about it, one of the easiest ways to drive free traffic to your websites is through writing articles for the article directory sites. Just one great article can get you tens of thousands of free visitors to your website. The article directory sites are always looking for fresh content that they can distribute for you across the web. Also, services are available that will allow you to submit your articles to hundreds of different sites. I highly suggest that you use www.SubmitYourArticle.com.
    Tip #2: You need to create a blog on your website.
    Blogging for free traffic is actually rather easy, but you need to put the blog on your actual website. This allows your website to grow into a huge online presence. For example, if you created 50 blog posts over a 3 month period, then that is 50 pages of content added to your website. With simple search engine optimization, the search engines will spider and index all of the content found on your blog. Once people visit your blog, you will want to give them options to subscribe to your auto responder, or you will want to give them options to visit your homepage or other web pages where you have products to sell.
    Tip #3: You need to use social bookmarking sites.
    If you follow step two, then step three can be an easy one. What you can easily do to participate in social networking and social bookmarking websites is simply add features like the Digg.com buttons and other add to favorite buttons on your blog. There are some simple tools that you can use to automate this process if you have installed the WordPress.org blogging software on your website. What you want people to do is to easily have the option of adding the content on your blog on these social bookmarking websites.
    O.K., so those are the first 3 tips, tomorrow I will reveal the other 4. See you then!

    7 Free Traffic Tips (That Actually Work!): Part 2

    Alright, yesterday I shared the first of 3 great free traffic tips that actually work. Here are the other 4!
    Tip #4: You need to take your blog and article content and engage in video marketing.
    Once you have taken all the time to create great blog posts and articles, why not create a video with the same content? I like simply writing the bullet points from my articles on a board and then just explaining them on video. There are tools that allow you to upload each video that you create to many of the different video sharing sites. This means that you can multiply your efforts and have each one of your videos on over 40 different sites. What you simply do is mention your website at the end of your videos while creating a compelling offer for people to go to your website and learn more.
    Tip #5: Take all of your blog and article content and create viral eBooks.
    After writing 10 or 20 articles and/or blog posts on a specific topic, you may very easily consider yourself somewhat of an expert on that topic. Why not take these 10 or 20 articles and turn them into chapters for a simple viral eBook? This is an eBook that you will give away for free and then allow other people to also give it away for free. If you have a professional eBook cover created for your viral eBook, many people may even decide to give your book away for free as a free bonus on their own website. You will make sure that your book contains a few affiliate links as well as links to your own website so that you will be compensated for your efforts.
    Tip #6: Spruce up your email marketing.
    It is very easy to take your best blog posts and include them as content in your auto responder. Also, with a couple of viral eBooks that you are giving away for free, people may really start to enjoy all of the content that you are giving away for free in your email marketing. As a result, people may start to complement your website for all of its great information, and they will start to tell others of all that they can learn if they go to your website and get on your emailing list. So, by taking your best work and incorporating it in your email marketing, you can eventually create some great word of mouth marketing for your online business.
    Tip #7: If people provide word of mouth marketing, compensate them for it.
    What am I talking about here? I am simply saying that you should set up an affiliate program for your website. Basically, if people like your website to the point that they are telling others about it, they might as well become your affiliate and really start marketing your website for you. If you are selling information over the web, setting up an affiliate program can easily be done if you just use ClickBank.com. Also, people who are on ClickBank automatically start to obtain affiliates without actively searching for them. This is because affiliate marketers are always on ClickBank looking for great products to promote.
    These 7 tips are simple concepts, but most people never decide to actually implement them. This is because it seems like a lot of work. Well, I ain't gonna lie, it really is work. But the way I see it, you can take 3 months of your time and really work on these techniques, and then you can have continued free traffic to your website for years to come. And if you work these techniques as hard as you should for a 3 month period, then you can generate 10's of thousands of dollars worth of advertising for your business.

          Thanks Nicolasb for any advice you can offer.
          -SmartieWriter
          Hope I can help Nicolasb answer a bit here, feel free to add more.

          I usually do keyword research before writing any articles, especially getting those 4 words to 6 words long tail keywords as my article title, then optimize and include keyword in these areas in the content:

          1. Title
          2. First Paragraph
          3. Middle Paragraph
          4. Last Paragraph

          With keyword in these areas, your article will have a higher chance to rank. To ensure your article actually rank for that keyword, you need some powerful backlinks!

          ** Note: Depending on how competitive your keyword is, the more competitive the more backlinks you need to rank on that keyword!

          Next, post your articles into high PR domain sites, like EZA, goarticles and many other web 2.0 websites! By using the domain power of these authority sites, you will have more advantages over your competition sites.

          Follow next will be backlinks to your articles, try mixing bookmarking, blog comments and profile links to your articles, in 2 to 3 weeks, you should start to get traffic to your site / blog!

          Scale this up to 100 times and you get 100 times traffic!

          Hope this helps,

    Excuse my n00b-ness. What is JV?

    I use SEO. About to try Adwords.

    I've had pretty 0 success with directories. I'm not sure how anyone generates traffic with forum posting. Too lazy for article writing. Maybe I should outsource it.

    I might try press release next.

    I tend to use only natural SEO 100% so my personal favourites are;

    Article Writing - Submit only to the top directories
    High PR Profile Backlinks - Like Paul & Angela Packets
    Social Bookmarking / RSS Feed Submission

    Sorry thats actually 4 but I think they're all as important as each other.

    On the other hand, does anyone find directory submission useful anymore?

    My top 3 are:
    1. Video Marketing
    2. Video Marketing
    3. Video Marketing

    Make a short video Ad, write a good title and description with your main keywords in them and upload it through Tube Mogul or Traffic Geyser. But don't stop there, you need to promote the videos as well. Embed the videos from these websites into Blog Post, and Social Media websites such as facebook, squidoo, wet paint, etc. Be sure to include keywords in the title and text of the post. Ping all the video pages, blog post, and social media pages and bookmark them in various Social Bookmarking websites.

      SEO is nice and all and should never be neglected but I don't know anyone likes to sit around for months building backlinks in order to rank for anything organically (thats worth ranking for in the long run).

      So it is always nice to get some immediate traffic while the search engines lazily raise you up in the ranks.

      So for fast results...

      1. PPC

      In literally less than 10 minutes you can set up a campaign and start driving traffic to your site to start getting some good statistics. Why wait for months of trickling traffic before you have enough data to see if your website is working.

      2. Forum Posting

      If you want to succeed in any niche then you'll have to know your stuff. And if you're active in some of the top niche forums, you'll learn real quick if you (and your website) really know your stuff and whether or not people find it valuable. Again, this is immediate feedback that you can use to see where you stand.

      3. Youtube

      This is one of the best investments you can make for the money if you know what you are doing. Another instant stream of traffic that is free and typically will last for quite a long time.

      I don't know about you guys, but I don't like build a website and wait months to figure out if it is up to par or if I need to make some changes to improve conversions. I'd rather have the data up front so I can #1, make money early and #2, make more money later.

      Cheers,

      -Tom

      Hi daviddeschaine,

      Yes, and one of the most obvious shortcuts for getting more traffic is advertising.

      Creating really useful content is always a great thing to do, but it can take time for folks to discover your content. It takes time and promotional efforts to get that content discovered. Marketing or advertising your website is one of the best ways to shorten that discovery time and really speedup the process of getting traffic from both paid and organic traffic sources.

    Now if you're creating your own service or business:

    1. JVs - someone else has already done the work for you, leverage that.

    2. SEO - already explained why.

    Interesting thread. My Top 3:

    - Articles: Write once, spin it and submit 2 or 3 times to a top directory (not to hundreds).

    - Videos: I like to see them as "enhanced google ads" where you can say the same
    that you say with a google ad but with images, music and effects. Best of all, they
    rank pretty well on search engines

    - Affiliates : If you can find good ones, you'll forget about everything else.

    One more to produce a short informative video, but it may be some traffic control strike. Without a doubt, help to build your online ranking. Creating a video is very active type of promotion. In this way we can increase your chances of being heard and may be another way of working to reach people. Certain that the message goes to a large extent.

    For me the best ways to drive traffic to the site are the blogs ,articles, videos , and social media. But with all these way need is to provide the new and useful content in the submission and also to provide the unique and effective description for the best results.
