More Traffic For Your Site

To have sales you must have traffic, not just any traffic but targeted website traffic.

What is Targeted website traffic? It is visitors that are interested in the content of your website.

How do you get targeted website traffic? Well, you could try the following methods:

A good way is to subscribe to forums that discuss your topic. Join in the conversation on these sites. Show tat you are an expert in the field. Without being too obvious you can place a discreet link to your website in the signature file. The content of the signature file is determined by the forum moderator. Avoid spamming the forum at all costs or you will quite likely get banned. Forums are one of the most productive ways of getting free traffic but respect the integrity of the site.

Linking with other websites is super productive. Sites like www.articlemarketingautomation.com make this very easy but you can still contact website owners and ask them for a reciprocal link from their website to yours. Be sure to select a link partner that is a good match for you.

Get in touch with e-zine owners that have your target audience and purchase advertising from them. Monitor this carefully and make sure you are getting value for money.

Offer your website visitors something of value for free if they sign up to your newsletter. Your newsletter should be relevant to your topic and should be published regularly.


Use ebooks and give them out at no cost but place links back to your website in them.

A great source of traffic is the use of joint ventures. You can contact marketers looking for new products to sell. They often have large mailing lists with hungry customers. Normally they will email their list for a cut of the sale price. This works particularly well with informational products..

Of course you can always buy traffic and this will give you near instant results. You can get an expired domain with traffic. They are domain names that are still registered on the search engines which still get good traffic volumes. The previous domain name owners have either lost interest in the name or forgotten to renew the domain. This is very often high quality traffic and can be well worth the purchase price. Just do your checking before buying.

Don't forget Google and the other search engines. They will cost you but if you can afford it they are capable of supplying your most valuable targeted traffic very quickly.
