6 Simple Ways to Build Traffic!

1. Quickly Get Links From Trusted Direc­to­ries.
What does it take to build a healthy list of back links? It could take years and years of hard work in the SEO field or it could hap­pen with-in a week if you have some $$. Link build­ing is a long-term process with even longer-term goals, but every­one has to start some­where. I would rec­om­mend that you sub­mit your web­site to sev­eral direc­to­ries that have been around for a while. If your not exper­i­ment­ing with your SEO work, for­get the newly cre­ated direc­to­ries that have ~100 or so sub­mis­sions. Search Engines will regard them as spam, doing you more harm than good!

2. Start Blog­ging
Blog­ging, it took the inter­net by storm. Every­one seems to blog about some­thing these days, every­thing from monkey-making niches to how long it took for them to clip their dog’s toe­nails (Yes, I’ve read this story cou­ple months ago) Any­ways, just because everyone’s jump­ing off a cliff, you wouldn’t do the same. Blog­ging isn’t for every­one, even though many try and fail and try again, yet fail. 99% of the so called “fail­ures” have either lack of deter­mi­na­tion or no set spe­cific goals. If you can get your head around these two bar­ri­ers, blog­ging can be a great way to attract vis­i­tors on a return­ing basis.

3. Con­sider Paid Search
It can take some time before search engines rec­og­nize you and start send­ing you accept­able amount of vis­i­tors for your key­words. You can “super-speed” this process in a way, by using PPC or Pay Per Click. Pro­grams such as Google Adwords allows you to set a bud­get and cost per click, that will cost you money (Obvi­ously) yet in return send you rel­a­tively tar­geted traf­fic. It doesn’t work for every­one and you need  a con­sid­er­able amount of $$ to see sig­nif­i­cant results.. but it’s always an optional option!

4. Use Arti­cle Mar­ket­ing To Build Links Arti­cle Mar­ket­ing or “BUM MARKETING” is been a very suc­cess­ful method of get­ting good back links, espe­cially from trusted sources like GoAr­ti­cles or eZine. Writ­ing unique con­tent for net­works like them will pro­vide you with good, juicy back links but the hard part is get­ting accepted! You should give it a try but before you do learn how it works:

• You write an infor­ma­tive arti­cle on your site topic/niche.
• Include an “About the Author” sec­tion as well as links in the arti­cle that point to your pages using rel­e­vant anchor text(s)
• Sub­mit the arti­cle through one of the many arti­cle syn­di­ca­tion ser­vices (such as EZineArticles.com or GoArticles.com )
• Then, just hope that you will be accepted “soon”. Obvi­ously the more you write and the more reputed you become with a spe­cific net­work, the quicker they will review your content!

5. Guest Post At Rel­e­vant Blogs
This isn’t really a “quick method” to get­ting traf­fic but nev­er­the­less an impor­tant fac­tor in cre­at­ing an “author­i­ta­tive” web­site. You will have to speak to peo­ple; fel­low blog­gers. Get to know them and form mutual rela­tion­ships with blog­gers that are inter­ested in sim­i­lar fields. Then you can sug­gest writ­ing Guests Post at each oth­ers blogs which pro­vides unique con­tent to your part­ner, and a free back link for you! This tech­nique can be help­ful if exe­cuted prop­erly, espe­cially if you know a few highly ranked blog­gers…

6. Spon­sor a Local Event or Char­ity
What bet­ter way to expose your web­site to the wider com­mu­nity, other than by help­ing the needy or putting a smile on someone’s face? You can hold  a local char­ity or event that will pro­mote your web­site. It might seem hard at first, but if your that kind of social per­son, that loves and cares for your com­mu­nity, why not?

Well there it is! 6 Sim­ple ways you can build traf­fic to your new website/blog. I hope you can imple­ment these tech­niques, and maybe even take a notch fur­ther up.
