Top 2 Ways To Get Links And Traffic To Your Site

June 30, 2009

Finally, what a website and an Internet business needs is traffic. Any kind of traffic for starters. Eventually energy will have to be exerted to covert some of that incoming traffic qualified traffic, buyers or whatever role it is expected of them to play. We had mentioned earlier that search engines, reciprocal links from various sites and indexes, as well as power linking are the major traffic source of www.mychaelthompson.com.

Is traffic really valuable? Is it a waste of time trying to work on SEO for generating traffic to your website? In this article we are going to take a look at some super simple tips to generating REAL traffic to your site, service or offer. Primary through off site link building, and making it happen in a hurry. Ready? Great…read on below!

Okay…but should I focus on off-site directories? Isn’t on-site SEO more important?

I say no. Using nothing but off-site submissions, press release directories, article directories and the like we took a reasonably new site and generated over 100,000 hits without doing any on-site SEO. This all happened in less then six months. As a matter of fact, the site itself didn’t ANY real search engine traffic for almost four months, yet we still managed to get SUPER high rankings for our primary keyword phrases. We were also building a huge list at the same time and mostly for free. I share these types of tips at www.twitter.com/mymoneycoach so be sure to check it out.

So, where do you start?

  • Forums – One of the many ways you can start to promote your site is by visiting forums in your niche. Start building your reputation on that subject area while slowly promoting your site at the same time.

Many forums allow you insert your link in your signature. This can be used as a way to refer visitors and gain sales. Forum marketing is a great way to get new customers as you are literally building a trust relationship customers, while inviting them ‘back home.’

  • Articles – Another popular method to building links is by writing articles about your product and slowly submitting them various repositories on the net. Submitting articles to these sites is a great way to build traffic. If someone reads your article they may very well click through on your link right to your site!

Super SMALL sites, especially in the beginning…and focus on building incoming links. AND lots of off-site content and syndication.

A common question is ‘How do I get more traffic to my site?’ Your answer is Twitter! What is it? Basically its a miniblog. It will take you less then a minute to write a post and get it out there. Your post can be anything from; ‘Just finished breakfast’ to promoting your business. It has a multitude of users and only takes minutes to sign up. Then you are ready to go on Twitter.


Top 3 Ways to Get Traffic to Your Site

Most people don’t know how to get visitors to their websites… It can be very frustrating and discouraging! You’ve probably read a lot about traffic and hits, but some of the most outrageous and impressive numbers often mean very little. With some ways of bringing in traffic, you may end up getting lots of people to come by and look, but they’re generally not really interested in what you have to offer, and so you’ll end up with huge numbers of one-time visitors you’ll never see again. What you want instead is targeted internet traffic.

Without traffic to your website, you will have no one to buy your products…it’s that simple. Google is the best website for generating traffic, without using Google you will not make the money or gain the traffic you desire. You must first master Google, then turn your attention to other search engines. Remember, with Google you must work hard and in some cases pay for results but you will also gain an element of free traffic on a daily basis.

Using Google you must use a series of links, articles and blogging to gain a natural and “organic” flow of traffic through to your site. If you follow the steps in the initial marketing period and regularly blog, write articles and link backs you will have a flow of traffic even after you have finished the initial launch of your marketing plan. If you as a marketer establish a strong series of link backs and articles and blogs then you will enjoy a steady flow of traffic for many many years. That’s the reason it’s easier to pay Team Traffic than to do all of the work yourself.

I cannot emphasis how important driven, targeted traffic is to your online business, it is quite simply the most essential and important part of your business. If you do not have targeted traffic you will not make money. Remember, there are so many opportunities to drive traffic to your website, some of them are not great ways of doing it yet you still continue to make it work, think about it and move onto something that’s more productive.

So how do you get targeted online traffic?

Think about what your website is about, and what the kind of people who you want to be your target audience would be interested in. Then use those very things as bait.

Here are three ways to get targeted internet traffic:

1) Have Team Traffic do the Work www.mychaelT.wordpress.com

I had to include this one, since it’s the ultimate technique for getting targeted traffic — fast. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come cheap.

2) Pay Per-click

3) Forum Posting

So there you have it. Three methods to get targeted internet traffic. You pay one way or another — either with your time, or with your money. But once you get those interested visitors onto your site and your list, you’ll find they will have been worth the price.
