Strategies that Boost your Website Traffic

By Mark Hall

You can give your website traffic a shot in the arm today. Over and above the pay per click option, which is the most apparent way out, let us see if there are other free ways to motivate traffic. Blogging is the most popular way and if you do not blog as yet, you can set one up now free of cost. Write a post or posts with keywords involving your issue and then make use of the ping services to publicize them. These services will introduce your link to many blog directories and sites. Your website traffic will increase with more activity in this way, but you can get an instant hit in a day

Post on Forums - there are many forums in existence dealing with most subjects where you can get free registration. For locating good forums search on Google with your keyword and the word forum and check what you find. You are not allowed to blatantly promote in your forum post but if you write sensible posts, offer help and advise others as well as commenting on popular threads you are likely to get people check out your site and this can happen for free on the same day.

Article writing - while some of the finer article directories evaluate your article to assess the quality before posting, others do not and this results in your getting to view an article linked to your site on the same day. Some people may even select it to post them on their site with your resource box at the end linking them to your site.

Digg it - Digg is a wonderful site where you can post a small snippet or summary of your blog post, article post, or text from your web site. It doesn't take long at all for this to appear on their high ranking and busy pages, again offering a potential boost to your website traffic.

Email your list - is it true that you do not have a list as yet? That many people on the web have not constructed their own email list is quite extraordinary. The plus points of a list is the flexibility it gives you to pre-set a series of messages or emails that can be sent to everyone at any time inviting them to visit your site for the latest deals or advice and this will promptly pump up your website traffic.

Joint venture may sometimes work in a day and sometimes not. If you receive a newsletter from another website related to your issue, try to see if you have anything interesting to offer them and their customers. Preferably this would be something you would do to offer some value - a free report, a product to sell and you would share the profits with the list owner. Some people have 1000's on their lists and this is a good way to increase the traffic to your web site.
