Great ways to generate traffic to your website
So, what methods do you utilize to get traffic to your website? Her are a few ways to start getting visitors to your site:
Business Cards - Print up business cards with your URL prominently displayed, and leave them on community bulletin boards, restaurants, rest rooms, libraries, at school, any place where a large number of people may see them.
Flyers / Small Signs - People tend to forget that they can easily market their websites in their local community / town / city. Print flyers and leave them on vehicles / post them on telephone poles, etc. Have small signs made and post them along busy roads and other high traffic areas.
Newspaper Ads - Sure, people still read the newspaper and it's a great way to get the word out about your site and it's products / services.
PPC Marketing - Invest some money into pay per click marketing. Selecting low competitive keywords will reduce your overall PPC expense and PPC marketing is a great way to get targetted visitors to your site.
Forum Marketing - Utilizing your forum signature is still a great way to market your website. It's free, and can be easily changed from time to time to try different wording to attract visitors.
Social Communities - Facebook, Myspace, etc. These sites get millions of visitors and you can promote your website yourself by commenting on profiles, sending bulletins, or you can hire a service rather inexpensively to do the work for you.
Template Sponsorship - This is a great way to generate not only traffic, but free backlinks to your website. Sponsoring vBulletin Themes, Wordpress Themes, and website templates gets you a free text link on other's sites and free traffic from those visiting sites with your sponsored theme on them. I personally have generated 100's of thousands of backlinks using this method, and increased unique visitor counts from 5000-50000 per month.
Video Marketing - Utilizing Youtube, Google Videos, and various other video sites, you can private label videos to get the word out about your website. The more unique the video, the better the marketing. Even using existing videos and watermarking them will bring you traffic, but if you duplicate videos that have already been posted, you will find the traffic generated is not as great as a unique video.
