5 Ways To Increase Your Website Traffic
By Suzanne Morrison
I don't know about you, but when I first entered the world of internet marketing I thought I could just submit my newly finished website to a few search engines, then sit back as the visitors flocked to my site.
I imagined that people would arrive on my website, as if by magic, purchase goods, and perhaps come back again for more.
A week or so later I came down to earth with a big bump.
I realised that it would take a bit of time and effort to see the results that I was dreaming about!
Since my reality check, I have learned all about the weird and wonderful ways of Internet marketing.
In this article I will tell you about my top 5 free ways of increasing website traffic.
All these methods are completely free and if you spend some time on them you will find that they work consistently.
(1)Writing Articles
Writing an article on a subject related to your website and getting that article published has two major benefits:
- People who are interested in your article will read it and often click on the URL in your resource box find out more. This gets you another free targeted visitor. Targeted, because that reader wants to find out more on the subject of your article, which is hopefully related to the subject of your website
. - Every publisher of your article must also publish your "resource box". Adding a resource box with your URL to all of your articles will increase the number of links leading back to your website, which in turn helps to increase your search engine position.
For a list of directories to submit your article to, see:
http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=38289
(2)Forum Networking
There are many discussion forums on the internet, on every topic you could possibly imagine.
Most discussion boards allow posters to attach a "Signature" with their post containing additional information about themselves, such as their name, URL and sometimes even an advertisement.
By visiting a few forums regularly and participating in the discussions, asking and answering questions, you can build up trust with other forum members, whilst at the same time getting free exposure for your website.
Just try to make a useful contribution to the forum - be sure to read the forum rules and don't spam!
(3)Reciprocal Linking
Reciprocal linking has two main benefits for you.
Firstly, the more links that you exchange, the more chance there is that someone will follow a link from another site and land on your website.
Secondly, your website will be perceived more importantly by search engines.
The more links you have from other sites, the greater your chance of getting ranked more highly by all the search engines.
Here are some Dos and Don'ts to help you get more out of your link exchanges.
- Do link with sites that will be of interest to your visitors.
- Don't link with pages that have unorganised link directories with hundreds of links on each page. This won't benefit you with increased traffic or search engine rankings.
- Do link with sites that have a clearly labelled "Link Directory" from their main page. You aren't likely to get much traffic from a hidden or hard to find link directory.
- Don't use link farms or FFA pages. You are unlikely to get extra traffic using these methods and the search engines may penalise you.
- Do use link directories to help you find link partners. Visit:
http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=38290
to find popular link exchange directories.
- Do stay organised. Use link exchange software, or a spreadsheet to keep track of the link exchanges you have requested and the contact details of the webmasters.
(4) Email Signatures
This is a very simple, but often forgotten way of increasing your website visitors.
Most of us are sending lots of emails a day, but many of us just sign them with just our name, or perhaps nothing at all.
Instead, why not end your emails with a short signature containing your name, a bit about your website along with the URL?
Keep the signature short (4 lines), to the point and avoid hype or SHOUTING.
You may be surprised at the extra visitors you receive through doing this. It's amazing how curiosity will lead the recipients of your email to click on your link!
(5)Using Traffic Exchanges
Finally, this is one easy way to guarantee instant hits to your website. You can build up credits for free by surfing or building up a downline to surf for you.
The downside of this method is that the visitors you receive from traffic exchanges are not as targeted as the visitors that you will receive via the other methods that I have described.
The reason for this is that people surf traffic exchanges for one reason - to earn as many credits as possible in as short a space of time as possible!
This gives you a challenge - how do you attract the attention of someone who is looking at your web page for 20 seconds or less?
Here are two tips -
- Know your market - spend some time surfing on the exchange that you are advertising on and pay attention to the types of web pages being advertised. Make sure that the pages you advertise are going to interest your target market.
- Use a short, simple attention grabbing page that can be read in a few seconds - there is no point advertising a huge page of text that takes 5 minutes to read. The chances are, your visitor will get bored and click on the "next" button without giving your page a fair chance.
Regularly invest some time in each of these 5 traffic generating methods and you will see your web statistics moving in the upwards direction before you know it.

http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=38292

Text-to-Hyperlink Conversion Tool
http://thephantomwriters.com/link-builder.pl
When I prepare each issue of THE TAX TORPEDO Newsletter, there are multiple urls that I want to hyperlink.
This is a free tool that saves me valuable time. Here are the instructions on how to use this tool:
In short, you can place natural text with URL's and Mailto addresses in the box, click convert, and get all of your URL's and Mailto addresses within the text in a hyperlink form for straight copy-and-paste to your HTML documents.

************************************
The Google Directory And Link Popularity
I'll be the first to confess that I did not even know until yesterday that there was such a thing as The Google Directory ?!?
You can use this directory to find websites with a high page rank and request reciprocal links with appropriate sites.
Check out the Google directory at:
http://directory.google.com/
If you locate the category or theme of the websites you want to target, they will be listed with the highest Page Rank (PR) websites at the top of the list.
Most of the sites near the top of the list will be PR4, PR5 or higher. These are the websites that you want to do your free link exchanges with.

The Long-term Benefit Of Offering Valuable Free Products And Services To Your Contact Lists
http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=37342
Here is the #1 concept that drives the Internet as far as individual success goes:
A high level of credibility has a monetary value!
You can build your credibility by offering to your contact lists on a regular basis information that solves a problem or fulfills a need.
When that information is in the form of free products or services, your email messages are virtually certain to be opened and read by a high percentage of your contacts.
Periodically, slip in a commercial message.
If you have multiple lists, you will have some kind of commercial messages going out on a regular basis.
The archives of THE TAX TORPEDO Newsletter are a great source for quality free programs, products and services.
I am still working on completing an up-to-date archives with all 2004 issues.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine
This is a story I heard recently while playing poker, and it was told by a grey haired gentleman sitting across the table from me.
"I remember the time I went to apply for Social Security when I became 65", he said.
"I thought I had all the documentation necessary, but the clerk said I needed a copy of my birth certificate. I said it would take me weeks to track it down, so could she give me a break??
She looked me over and said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
I did as told and she said, 'Well, the hair on your chest is completely grey, so I guess you're old enough.'
"She proceeded to give me the paperwork to complete my application.
I went home and told my wife I qualified for Social Security. All I had to do was unbutton my shirt!"
'Well', my wife said, 'You should have dropped your pants as well. You could have qualified for disability too!!'
