Welcome, Visitor! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed, via e-mail, or subscribe to our mailing list. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve updated the Traffic Tips page at this site, so it’s in the new design and re-written. This is basically my master sheet of traffic generation methods. It’s every method that works, all on one page.

So if I get asked “How Do I Promote My Site” again, I can just point that person right there.

Seriously, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about driving traffic to your site. Although there are a myriad of more specific techniques, such as those that work for one specific service, or those that work for one obscure niche everything really falls into one of the categories here:

Traffic Tips

I’ve kept that page as clean and informative as possible and I’ll update as the need arises, so if you want to point your visitors somewhere for traffic tips, consider mine (hint).

I was going to make that into a blog post, but that would bring all of the rest of the blog (sidebars, etc) with it. And I really wanted it to be clean and quick loading for those that need it.

Tell A Friend systems have been around for a while, and the process is deceptively simple: the visitor recommends your site to his/her contacts.

This is a very powerful concept: It’s social marketing, to the nth degree. It can mean 2,3,4 or any visitors to your site per visitor that arrives. It can literally multiply your traffic.

Of course, not everyone will recommend their friends, so that is where an ethical bribe or two can come into play. For recommending, the visitor will receive a gift or bonus from you.

You can even direct new visitors to a special welcome page, with even more gifts, and ask them to refer their visitors too!

So this not just social marketing, it’s viral marketing.

While tell a friend boxes used to be prevalent on websites in the early days they’ve fallen into disuse lately. There is no good reason for this, yet it means the idea is not oversaturated. More chance for you!

There are various tell a friend scripts available, for free and for a fee, and there are also some commercial offerings. In fact, I’ve just come across a brand new program that does all of the above along with many more unique features. How about automatically importing the users address book for starters… Imagine the possibilities there.

Beware untried scripts: Some years ago I installed a “free” tell-a-friend at my site, and while it worked a dream it later became spyware, and tried to install more spyware and spawn popups on my visitors. The same thing happened with an exit-exchange I used at the time.

I’ll post a review of the new system soon. But this is a very useful traffic generation method you should be using on your website.

Update: As mentioned by Sean in the comments below, there’s a cool widget for wordpress, which I’ve started using. Roll over the button to see it in action

Traffic is everything, yet people seem to have trouble generating it. It can be a stumbling block. It’s not difficult to drive traffic - but it does take time. Shortcuts, such as automated submission software, can help but there’s nothing like doing it the old fashioned way.

To get traffic, you have to make your site visible. Get linked from as many sources as possible!

Basic SEO rules include having keyword-optimised content on your site, spread across multiple pages if possible and all linked together. Don’t forget to submit that Sitemap to Google. If you have the cash and the self-discipline use Pay Per Click with Google and others. You should also submit your site to the various “social” sites such as Del.icio.us, Digg, Furl, and Stumble Upon.

That’s just common sense. It’s no secret - a scattershot method will work. Other places include eBay, MySpace, CraigsList, Youtube (for video), Download.com (for software), Hotscripts.com (for scripts), and of course the old standby - articles (post to the big article sites such as ezinearticles.com but beware the duplicate content trap).

With all this, especially if you’re using Pay Per Click or Articles, direct your visitors to a landing page. The landing page should have only one option for the visitor, be it to move on through the process or sign up to something. Some useful info here:

How To Build Landing Pages (ARTICLE)

Finally add links wherever you can, either by asking for link trades directly, posting to other peoples blogs, submitting testimonials, or reviews. You can even post reviews to sites such as Amazon or the various “Consumer” sites. Go wild, have fun, and keep at it. Traffic will follow!

Tip #1: If possible, track the various sources using coded links or alternate URL’s. That way you can see what works and what (at the moment) doesn’t.

Tip #2: If you can use anchored links, i.e. where the link text and the link URL are different, do so - for your keywords. Also use your Keywords worked in to the text for reviews, posts, comments, testimonials, etc. But do it cleverly so it reads well to a human
