How to generate traffic to your site

At the end of this article you will not find me suggesting you to buy any CD or tutorial, The reason for the assurance is because in most of the cases we face the same situation. I just wanted to share some simple techniques which you can actually do YOURSELF without spending much money, to generate traffic to your own site effectively..

As you might understand that generating traffic to your site has probably become more important than even launching a very unique idea through it. Until there is nobody to appreciate, neither you get the worth of your investment nor do you generate business. it’s interesting to observe that how well designed and more informative portals lose out to their competitors just because people don’t know about them. No matter whether you have a business portal or a private blog; the secret of success is only in reaching more and more web audience. This may be the reason many marketers are coming up with higher e-campaign budget and getting interested in hiring professional service providers for higher visibility in the web.Starting from partnering with Google Adsense or using Adwords to advertising to blog sites and other popular portals there are many ways the repute of website can increase. The cost incurred depends on the approach you are going to take and the method that you are going to follow.

Allow me discuss a few of them here which you can actually implement without much ado, and more importantly, by yourself

1. The search engine - Search engine transfers maximum traffic to a lesser known websites. people search keywords in search engines and the engine shows the list of related websites. The sites which are more optimized to the keyword will come first. There is a steep contest between sites to reach the first page of a search engine on any particular keyword search. And the process of helping the sites doing it is called Search Engine Optimization. Some trickey activities are involved in that, but it’s worth learning about SEO to have a really heavy traffic onto your portal.

2. Social networking sites - Use the social networking sites like facebook , twitter, linkedIn, Orkut, MySpace, Digg and all others which are there. these sites are blessed with visitors who are more active than anything. variety of users with wide range of interest. if you have a strong message to convey or an interesting campaign to make, come here and share with people your business interests by publicizing your site.

3. Participate in forums - After you are sure about your business interest or the message you want to share through your websites to your target customer base; join relevant forums. forum traffic is volatile, may be after a quick 1st hit, many will not return to your site, but may be that is not a case for all your your site has enough content to bring them back again.

4. Write press release - Press release sites are purposely made especially for self-promoting. Just write press release campaigns promoting your site there. though some of them charge money to upload your content but there are huge number of reputed sites who will give you free access to post press release. Writing up a great press release can overall entice new readers and create new hype or publicity for your overall web business if it sparks readers’ attention. In all aspects of advertising or self promoting, if you entice the average visitor, you are sure to receive more web traffic than you have originally planned.

5. Write Articles - Show your prowess over the language or mastery over the subject matter (if you have it) and write articles to article directory sites to reach a wide reader base. this is may be the best idea to popularize your blog and earn the due attention which you needed for long. A loyal reader base and subscribers can start following you once they find your article interesting, which you posted in the article directories.

6. Write guest posts - Writing guest post to other blogs and forums might be a great idea if really have some good knowledge over the subject matter of your domain or clarity about your sites business interest. Ofcourse your profile interests people more in giving your point of view some repute, but even if you are not blessed with a great professional profile you can always complement that with your writing ability.

7. Start Video Social Networking – In edition to regular social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace, video social networking is a powerful way to showcase a new brand overall. Simply because generally YouTube videos that are fun and edgy, find their selves in more hype and in the “thousands viewers” zone. This new found way to generate more web traffic to your website, is a must to go along your list of ways to promote your business. If you haven’t noticed, almost everyone uses YouTube and by incorporating video creation in your tool belt of methods to promoting your business, you can attract a more wider range of potential buyers. And not to say, start even a community of your own.

8. Start a Network of Related Bloggers – If you are seriously into blogging, creating your very own blog network is an excellent idea to showcase blog publishing from a wide range of quality bloggers that cover the same topic. Not only is this idea of starting your very own network of related bloggers, is a great way for readers to find more relevant and resourceful information on a certain topic, it allows you to create new found relationships as well as increase exposure for each blog associated in the network. The more your network grows, the more visibility you get. Because as you may know, it is a network and the blog shares visitors by openly displaying links to other blogs in the total network and so on.

There are companies who are actually into this business of providing clients with similar services. they have package deals to offer as well as time span regulated service, some are costly some are reasonable. But, they too follow the more less the above tasks which we discussed under flowery names.Strong workforce helps them to aggressively circulate the information via those techniques, that a new star has born or a sleeping giant is waking up.
