Increase Online Traffic

Increase Online Traffic
If you are an internet entrepreneur looking to increase
online traffic to your website then in this article I'm
going to discuss 6 ways to accomplish this. They are all
simple methods that are free to implement and require
little or no specialised knowledge, meaning that you can
get started today with a little bit of time and see results
swiftly.

1) Blog Commenting

Locate blogs of a related topic to your website using
Google's Blog Search tool, Technorati or IceRocket and add
useful, on-topic comments to posts that you find that are
of interest to you. In experiments, I have regularly found
a single comment on a high-traffic blog to produce 5 or so
visitors per day, so 100 comments strewn across a range of
blogs could lead to several thousand new visitors to your
site each month.

2) Forum Signatures

Use Google once again to search for forums in your niche by
simply typing in the broad keywords associated with your
niche followed by the word forum (such as "cat forum").
Once you have found a number, register for them and spend
time there to offer information and advice to users. Make
your answers genuinely useful so they add value rather than
spamming forums with pointless posts and add a link to your
website in your signature file if the forum allows it.

3) Yahoo Answers

Whilst Yahoo is the best known "question and answer"
website there are a number of others out there. In Yahoo
answers, users can ask questions on any topic they like.
You, equally, can search for unanswered questions based on
keywords and try to answer them yourself, linking back to
yourself once again in your signature file.

4) Classified Ads

Sites like USFreeAds, Craigslist and GumTree all allow you
to post free classified ads to their sites. Find the right
site area and place an advert for your website ensuring you
use your main keywords to attract the right sort of
visitors. If you have a small amount of money to spare,
consider trying Ebay's own classified ad service which
offers you a powerful interface to create colorful,
attractive ads plus loads and loads of potential customers.

5) Testimonials

Another great trick to increase online traffic is to email
people whose website or product you particularly like with
a testimonial about how great you thought their ebook was
or the content on their website is. Tell them they can post
that comment on their website to increase sales if they
like - so long as they include a link to your website.

The beauty here, of course, is that all sorts of websites
will be sending them traffic - pay per click advertising,
affiliates, search engines and more - and there's your link
front and center on their page.

6) Submit Articles

As a last suggestion in this article on how to increase
online traffic, consider writing articles specifically to
give away to other websites or blogs. If they get enough
visitors, let them use it exclusively in exchange for
linking back to your site. If they receive less traffic,
you're well within your rights to offer the same article to
a number of sites to try and get the best results possible
from your efforts.
