7 Proven Ways to Generate Traffic
There are many ways to generate traffic to your site and the list continues to grow with innovative web 2.0 strategies. Although many of these newer methods have yet to pass the test of time here are 7 proven strategies that remain consistently reliable and should be included in every serious website traffic generation campaign.
1) Pay per Click
This method does cost you money, however there’s no quicker way to generate traffic. PPC is not complicated and there’s several excellent courses available for free online. Try Perry Marshall.com and subscribe to his free email course to get started.
2) Viral Marketing
Using a ‘word of mouth’ strategy you can create a short report to give away or perhaps create an interesting, creative, or funny video and post it on You Tube. In both cases you’ll want to include a link back to your site. Depending upon the popularity of your ‘creation’ people will either pass around your report or refer others to your video thus gaining you another stream of traffic to your site.
3) Link Exchanges
By exchanging links with other sites you’ll be combining the website traffic generation efforts of multiple website owners. Displaying links from other sites encourages your visitors to check out these sites. Insure that all sites involved are targeting the same type of visitors resulting in more targeted traffic for everybody.
4) Use SEO tactics
By using the right keywords and keyword phrases within your site will insure that the search engines will display your site for people who search those keywords. There needs to be a direct correlation between the keywords used and the theme or purpose of your site.
5) Participate in forums and other social sites
By participating within these type communities you can get quick recognition and website traffic. When you leave comments and/or suggestions always include a ’signature’ that links back to your site. Be sure your comments and suggestions are helpful and relevant or else these messages will be viewed as strictly ’self serving’ and resultantly ignored. These communities should share the same niche in which you’ve targeted.
6) Utilize newsletters or ezines
These type publications can be used as inducements to visitors at your squeeze page to leave their contact info in order to receive this material. It’s a great way to keep in contact and supply them with useful information. It will help build your reputation as an authoritative and trusted source within the field.
7) Publish articles
By publishing articles on topics related to what you’re promoting you can have a source of continuous website traffic. These articles are read by folks interested in the subject you’ve written about. By including a link to your site at the end of the article the opportunity exists to have these readers click on the link to check out your site.
Well there you have some tried and proven ways to generate traffic to your sites. Use them and success will follow!
Using Video to Generate Traffic
When you upload your videos to a video hosting like You Tube, they will give you an opportunity to enter in a title and a description for your video. This step is of vital importance to getting your video to show up in the results when others are searching. If you don’t have a good title and description, chances are your video will just get lost in the masses.
You want to stand out from the crowd and be displayed in the search results. To do that, you need to have keyword rich and intriguing video titles and descriptions.
The keywords will help bring in targeted viewers who are searching for your content, while the intrigue will help actually get viewed.
As for the descriptions, don’t be afraid to write long, descriptive descriptions which include multiple links that point back to your website. And be sure to show your URL in the video itself, too!
You can create your videos anyway you like including slide shows with background music, web cam and screen capture.
Keep in mind these do not have to be professionally produced, acted and edited videos. On the contrary! You want to show your personality and make them as unique as possible in order to help with the ‘buzz factor’.
That’s what gets people to pass them along by email and if you’re lucky, post them on their websites and blogs.
If you don’t have a web cam you can usually pick one up for about $30 – $120 at your local electronics store. You do not need the best. I chose a middle of the line Logi Tech web cam, which cost me about $70.
If you don’t have screen capture software you could try Camstasia. When creating Camtasia screen capture videos use approximately 320 x 240 screen size.
Finally, save your videos as an .avi or .mp3 file for easy uploading to Google and You Tube.
Ultimately, the subject matter of your videos depends on what it is you are trying to market. They can be videos related to your own products and services or affiliate products and services.
Let’s say you are marketing a particular mobile telephone. There are a number of ‘formats’ you might choose for the video itself.
For example, you could:
-Do a video review of the mobile telephone and point viewers back to your website.
-Interview a person whom owns that particular mobile telephone.
-Talk about what you heard in the news about that particular mobile telephone.
-Re-purpose existing content that you might already have such as articles that you have previously written.
Keep in mind that commercials typically don’t sell and probably won’t get passed around. Think about it. People watch TV for the shows, not the commercials. People want entertainment and that’s why advertisers try so hard to entertain their audiences with their commercials. If they are not entertaining, people get off the sofa and grab a snack or something.
So your job is to create videos that both entertain and share your message. And if viewers are entertained, they will be inclined to share your video with their friends.
The trick is to provide your viewers with entertainment.
You want to strive to make videos that make people laugh, cry, or even drop their jaws in awe!
