How to make traffic to my website? any idea!

Hi

To get traffic you need to start strategic traffic. Here is the list with top 12 link building tips that I highly recommend you to use when starting to build your links.
1. Directory Submission
Getting listed in dirs is good for you, you get a lot of backlinks. I am posting here only high quality, free, human reviewed, PR6+ directories only ( BTW I checked the PR of the directories I am providing with Google Toolbar and I have to say that there is a big difference in their PR since the last update. I have seen many directories that have fallen from PR6 to PR0, I suppose they have used some black seo to get promoted and finally they lost their PR). The good thing about these dirs is that if you get your site listed you will get lots of traffic. The bad thing is that the review proccess of your site often is more than 3 months. Here is the list I use:
http://dir.yahoo.com/ PR 8
http://www.dmoz.org PR8
http://www.stpt.com/ PR 8
http://www.open-site.org PR 8
http://www.femina.com PR 7
http://www.portal.eatonweb.com PR 7
http://www.bloggernity.com PR 6
http://www.podcastzoom.com/ PR 6
http://www.bloguniverse.com PR 6
http://www.gogreece.com PR 6
http://www.lanic.utexas.edu PR 6
http://www.sacentral.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm PR 6
http://www.worldhot.com/ PR 6
http://www.elib.org/ PR 6
http://www.ezilon.com/ PR 6
http://www.christiansunite.com/ PR 6
http://www.aardvark.co.za PR 6
http://www.nzs.com/ PR 6
http://www.info-listings.com/ PR 6
http://findingblog.com/ PR 6
http://www.iguide.co.il/ PR 6
Of course there are more good high PR directories but I will leave the search for them to you. You can use google to find some, but the lists that come on first page results shows the old PR of the directories. So in my view these 21 dirs that I have posted here a worth to submit to them. Don’t get mad if you are not listed after 3 months from submission. Your time will come, don’t give up!
2. Link Exchange with other webmasters
This is also good way to get backlinks. When contacting other webmasters write in personalized way. Tell them why you want to exchange links with them, introduce your site to them, tell them more about your site. Try to exchange links with only high quality sites with higher PR. You may find good partners to exchange links, the best way is contacting them in personal, or you may use some forums to find link exchange requests, and last but not least you may use some automated link exchange sites. Here are some of them:
http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/ PR 6
http://www.linkdiary.com/ PR 5
http://www.telalinks.com/ PR 5
http://www.linkexchanged.com/ PR 5
http://www.belinked.info/ PR 5
http://www.linkwizard.net/ PR 4
Using these automated link exchange sites will also boost your backlinks and you will get many relevant links to your site. You can find much more sites like these but to be honest I think these ones will do a perfect job. You can always ask google about something like: ‘free automated link exchange sites’, ‘free reciprocal programs’, ‘free link building programs’ and some more search terms like these.
If you want first to check the pagerank of the site you will be exchanging links with I recommend you to use:
http://www.digpagerank.com/ - In this site you can check the PR of a page or site in over 700 google datacenters
3. Article Submissions
Maybe I won’t tell you something new but try to write good quality unique articles and post them to the best free article directories. This is one of the best way to do 2 things for your site: first get a lot of backlinks from the articles and second get a lot of traffic I hope you know that you have to put your keywords that you compete for in the anchor text which is very very important for higher results in the SE’s.
http://ezinearticles.com/ PR 6
http://www.articleclick.com/ PR 6
http://www.1888articles.com/ PR 5
http://www.articlesbase.com/ PR 4
http://www.talkinmince.com/ PR 4
http://www.article-hut.com/ PR 4
http://www.articleuniversity.com/ PR 4
http://www.articlefeeder.com/ PR 4
http://thephantomwriters.com/ PR 4
http://www.article99.com/ PR 4
http://www.instantcashflow.org/free-article-directory/ PR 4
This list is only 11 sites long but if your article gets listed in all of them expect more than 1000 visitors to come to your site from the link in the article.
4. Press Release Submission
This method is something like writing articles and post them almost everywhere. In fact using this tactic you have to write a press release about your site or a page from your site. The process is the same. You have to submit the press release to good press release distribution sites. Below is the list of the ones that I am using.
http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/ PR 6
http://www.pr.com/press-releases/ PR 6
http://www.free-press-release-center.info/ PR 6
http://www.clickpress.com PR 6
http://www.pressbox.co.uk PR 6
http://www.prleap.com PR 6
http://www.1888pressrelease.com/ PR 5
http://ecommwire.com/ PR 5
http://www.przoom.com/ PR 5
http://www.newswiretoday.com/ PR 5
http://www.free-press-release.com PR 5
http://www.pressreleasenetwork.com PR 5
http://www.prfree.com/ PR 5
Hope these 13 sites will help you to get much traffic. If you submit regularly to them and your site or articles gets listed there expect to get at least 200 unique visitors daily.
5. Social Networking / Social Group Sites
Social networking sites are very useful these days not only to get links but also huge traffic. Participating in social group / networking sites are proving to give boost to your traffic these days. Here is my list:
www.myspace.com PR 8
http://spaces.live.com/ PR 8
http://www.livejournal.com/ PR 8
http://www.orkut.com/ PR 8
http://www.friendster.com/ PR 7
http://www.linkedin.com/ PR 7
http://360.yahoo.com/ PR 7
These are one of the best social group sites. There are a lot more but I think these are enough, they are high quality and have a high PR ( 7+). They are perfect for getting good backlicks to your site.
6. Getting link from .org , .gov and .edu sites
The education, organization and government sites are considered much more valued sites and links coming from those sites are valuable. You need to search and find such sites.
Do a simple search on Google with this search term:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%…G=Search&hl=en
You may use another perfect search term special for edu blogs:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q…22&btnG=Search
With this string you will get all .edu blogs that allow posting comments and do not require to be logged in. Hope you find this string perfect. You can experiment with it for all kind of domains, it’s up to you. Make blog comments and put links in them, make sure your comment is genuine and not spam. You have to read the whole topic and find something to comment on the topic, job is done. After doing some comments maybe in a week you will see in Google index that you have links from .edu domain or .gov
7. Social Bookmarking Site Submission
This is the newest technique to get quality backlinks to your site. These days people like to share their interests in social bookmarking sites. Posting your interesting article to such sites will boost your traffic and give you thousands of visitors. But it is not so easy as it sounds - you have to write really good article, or news or something very very interesting to get your article on first page of these sites.
Don’t waste your time or money submitting to sites that don’t receive traffic! Use this list of sites for the best social bookmarking results

8. Forum posts
This is the way I like best for getting backlinks. Find forums that are in your niche and create account with them. In userpage write your homepage and you have a backlink. DO a search on Google and you will see how many forums are out there, you will be amazed. Do this process many many times and you will have one way links pointing to your site.You can combine this with forum posts and this way you will get your signature shown much more times. Personally to me it doesn’t matter that forums have nofollow tags, Google still counts that as a link to you.
9. Blog comments
Another great way of letting the world know about your site. This method is similar to forum comments, again most of the blogs comments have nofollow tags but Google still count this as a backlink. Here is another good way to get a backlink from a blog’s main page:
Find blogs that have “top comments” or “recent comments” plugins, this way if you are top commentator you will get your link on the main page of a blog. Do this with blogs that fall into your category. I didn’t knew that but a friend told me this method and I must say that I see good results for now.
10. Get a link on a mainpage of PR 9 sites
This one you probably do not know but I am going to share it. Spare some time, do a search for sites that have PR 9 and have a donation section in their mainpage. I am sure there are at least 20 such sites. In this donation section they post latest 20 or 30 donators. Do a donation for at least 1$ and you will see your site listed there. This is the cheapest way I think to have one way non-reciprocal backlink from PR 9 site, don’t you think?
11. Design a Temp

I have a website I sell products on. I also sell some of the same products on ebay. My pricing on these items are the same on ebay as my website. I track the daily visits on my website which some days are between 15-50 hits.
My website spells out everything online shoppers want to know, payment options, shipping, contact info, privacy policy.
I use paypal for payments. Paypal is widely reconigzed and trusted. So whats the problem??
I believe I have done most everything correctly, but I can’t sell items on my website.
Even with the amount of traffic I get, I barely get any sales.
The hits come in on the landing page and exit off the same page without moving around. The products are items people want and buy, I have proved that by selling on ebay.
Some of you will say just sell on ebay.Well I would like to try and have a successful website to make a little extra money on.
Take a look at my website and give me some feedback
(good or bad ) on how I might improve my sales.

Website Traffic?

I know this question has been posted over and over. But maybe there will be another answer I haven’t seen yet.
I have a website. It is about bla bla bla. That’s not important. Anyway I have been trying to get traffic through it but my numbers are not good. I am using adwords but have only had 4 clicks in 62000 impressions. I have used different key words and changed the add around several time. And nothing. I have only been up for a month and I know thats not very long. But I was hoping someone had some fairy dust to sprinkle on it so to speak. It is not a bells and whistle website with flashy things all around but it is well organized and subject specific.
Here is my shameless plug. You knew it was coming!

http://www.mywifeskids.com

But really any advise would be great!!

Your website is not designed very well. And as the other person said, you are targeting a specific audience.

I would make your site look more professional, first. You have tons of empty space, it looks like you used a generic template instead of a design that would fit what you are specifically doing. On your page with the state laws, perhaps you could link to that specfic law on the states website? I mean anyone can write a sentence and write numbers out from it. How do I know thats really what the law says? Your submit story page doesnt load, or atleast didnt for me in ie. Your banner for shaiya? a game or something is inappropriate for a family site. Your useful links page is just a bunch of junk and spam. I would expect to see links or banners to other parenting sites. And perhaps there should be a place where step kids could submit their stories, their opinions….

Then, perhaps you could post your site on blog sites for step parents, parenting blogs or sites, forums like this and others. Post fliers to get local traffic.

Without a lot of paid advertising that you cant afford, thats the best way to get people to your site, good old word of mouth. Also banner/link exchange with other parenting sites

I’ve started an online anime Magazine and was wondering if there was a way to increase traffic, its not quite finished yet…Also any feedback would be apreciated but remember..its not finished..

This is it http:// www.animelovers.50megs.com
If you want to send fanart in please handwrite your name on the image and email it to this address with some details about yourself. i.e; Name, Age and Location

animelovers@hotmail.co.uk

Postal Submissions will be acepted the address is on the website

Just visited your site http://www.animelovers.50megs.com and I think it has potential also I checked your coding and noticed a few thing especially in your keywords, you have some keywords that are related to your site but some of your keywords are to vague (like DVD , reviews) you can use keywords that are more specific to your site (go to a search engine and do a search on DVD or review etc. and you will notice that there are millions of competitors for those keywords..As most site depend on search engine traffic, you will get more traffic and less competition, if you use more specific keywords…Also some tricks to promote your site are join forums, groups that are related to anime and leave comments or question with your URL (web address) as part of your signature, do the same thing for emails etc..Just don’t spam your site..For more detailed info, visit the link that I will provide

My website offers online traffic school. What is the best way to drive U.S. traffic to my site. I am all over the PPC sellers already…and i rank high in the search engine results.

Is it better to buy banners? Or should i buy into large directories….or just have a large link exchange program?

and dont say all of the above please!

Hi, good question…

There’s a whole lot of things you can do actually.

I would try article marketing if you’re interested in that. If you decide to go that way, you can download a free guide about how you can use article marketing to bring traffic to your site here:

http://photomarketeers.com/cool-resources/digital-photography-tips-free-guide-shows-you-how-to-bring-in-more-traffic/

The other thing I use is http://hurleypix.com/3wl This costs a monthly fee - but it works very effectively at giving you very nice rankings in Google. Look over the site if you want to learn more.

Another option is by using web 2.0 sites such as Digg, Twitter, FaceBook, Craigs List, Stumbleupon, etc. You have to get ‘in there’ and communicate and learn about these sites, build your profile up, etc, but they are pretty good too at motivating people to come look at your websites.

There’s other ways as well including press releases and contributing in forums often.

Hope that helps.

Is there any free website (not a download) where I can search a website and it displays the number of hits that site has received.

PS. sites whould not be in top 1000

Thanks

If it is your site then you can use analytics or adstats

But if it is someone else’e site, there are none available. People looking at other peoples website stats can easily missuse the info

I want to promote my website to get extra traffic because i need a lot.How can i do that?Do you have any idea?Thanks for advice!

"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481

6. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:

Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/…
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/
Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/
US Free Ads http://www.usfreeads.com/
Kijiji http://www.kijiji.com/
Local.com http://www.local.com/

I currently have this website its kind of in progress but i want to create a website that will get more traffic to my site and ave a better chance at selling something cause ive had tons of visitors and no sales yet I need some ideas for a good website. I thought about writting about like training dogs or something usefull to people where they dont necesarilly need to buy something.

There’s a good guide to increase your traffic here: http://traffic-tips-and-tricks.blogspot.com The tips described there are quite simple but very effective.

And if you’re willing to invest some time into it you should also consider reading the book "Guerrilla Marketing" by Jay Conrad Levinson, it tells you a lot of practical and effective ways to market your business for very little or no money at all.

Hope this is useful.
