Hi everyone! Traffic, Traffic, Traffic! How do we get it? There are lots of possible ways to get traffic. All you need is to look at this list for your reference and check if you have done any of this yet. Free methods: Submission to SE's and directories Article marketing Email campaign Forums, blogs and board postings Social Bookmarking Etc. etc. Premium ways: (Should require a budget) Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Targetted Link backs Professional SEO services Ad spaces Offline campaigns Etc. etc. Random and unique traffic is good to any site but getting targetted traffic is what makes the difference. This kind of traffic yields the highest conversion which would determine your site's success. Given a budget, I would always opt for PPC. PPC is a very effective way of getting targetted traffic given the proper treatment. Identify your niche and select the market you want to cater to and start from there. Research also on the keywords your desired market would most likely be looking for. IMO, one should be more focused on getting targetted traffic than just page views. Buying targetted link backs are also effective at getting targetted traffic. It really all boils down to what your site offers to your traffic Another great way of targetting your desired audience is through forum posting on similar niche with your link on your signature. What I like about forum posting is that it is totally free. My question is : What methods do you use to draw traffic to your site? Random and targetted alike. Hoping to hear from you! emailmonkey

ohboy. I think the only one I do out of all of those is forum/blog signatures. Even those are limited.. I'm only registered on 3 forums, and one of those is a closed (no robots) one. I'm thinking the list is probably aimed at web-based companies. Although I have a website up, it's not really a focus when it comes to marketing - it's more of a supporting thing. A lot of my traffic seems to be coming via word of mouth rather than referred from another site.

One thing I have not tried but considered, would it be useful to include your main keywords in your forum posts?

If you post some targeted words for a forum page, you can increase the Page Rank of the page. And if you have a link to your site in your signature, you can get the link from the high PR page…

Posted By RichardL on 30-04-2008 11:54 AM Plain and simple SEO... Yes but there are other ways. Pay Per Click (PPC) is a great way of increasing traffic with a well calculated plan. Measure the Cost Per Click and preferably, the Cost Per Transaction and you'll have a great idea of which keywords to keep and which to scrap.

In addition to the above ideas, it's also important to keep in touch with your customers regularly. We do this once a month through newsletters - this means that we're not bombarding people but we are ensuring that we're remembered. We get further value by posting the articles on our site, under articles. We do this, knowing that when the site is spidered by the search engines, any keywords in the newsletters will be picked up. You can view our articles through the following links - http://www.ukconsultants.net/articles/miscellaneous/consultants-news-free-directory-listings-for-uk-consultants.aspx http://www.ukconsultants.net/articles/miscellaneous/consultants-news-free-directory-listings-for-uk-consultants.aspx http://www.ukconsultants.net/articles/miscellaneous/consultants-news-benefit-from-1000s-of-website-visitors.aspx
