So you have a website and you have a product that you want people to know about. That’s nice.

Now what?

Without traffic, and lot’s of it. You’re sunk.

Here are ten tips for generating traffic to your website.

(1) Commit To A Plan

If this is a hobby, you can feel free to skip this step. However, if like most Internet Marketers you are interested in making money then develop a plan for reaching your niche Internet audience and stick to it.

(2) It’s Never Too Late To Start SEO’ing

Even if your site is already built you can start SEO’ing with new content that you ad (like articles… hint hint ;) ). Don’t get carried away with this, just add your meta tags description, keywords & title. Your article needs to start with your keyword phrase as well as having that same keyword phrase appear near the top and at the bottom of the article. The best way to accomplish this is by using the bum marketing approach to article writing.

(3) Why Stop With A Website

Building a free blog while linking your website with your blog and back again is a really really good idea. If you create content rich pages (like articles… hint hint ;) ) of interest to your niche audience and link your website and blog together at those pages you will be doing yourself a terrific favor.

Generating Traffic To Your Blog

September 14, 2008

People love highly niche related blogs. Search engines love blogs focused on a target market. Even your website loves the blog it is connected to.

So you really only have one choice.

Build a blog!

You can have a blog up and going within a couple hours tops. I know, because I do it frequently.

However, just building a blog is not enough. You also need to start generating traffic to your blog else all you really have is an electronic paperweight.

*** Be Creative *** One of the best ways to get that traffic you are looking for is by writing articles. I’ve tried this process with and without the bum marketing concept included. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s much easier to compete against 1500 different entries than it is 23 million. Further, while I would indeed use an article submitter software, I would also logon to all the key article directories that I want to use and setup profiles where that option is made available.

*** Hug A Blogger *** I got this idea from Ankesh Kothari’s blogclout blog, and I recommend you follow it.

First, find other blogs related to your niche audience using Technorati and get involved with them. Don’t market to these other blogs, but rather provide valuable responses to their posts. Read more
