    Default The Best Tips On Getting More Traffic to Your Website

    Hello,

    You have a business on the internet. You feel you sell good products or provide excellent services and now you just need to get the word out to everyone. You have already told your friends and family and hope they tell others as well, but what you really want is for your web traffic to take off sky high. The only problem is you do not have a large amount of cash to invest into a huge advertising campaign.

    Regardless of all of that you are luck. The free technique I am about to tell you about will drive just as much traffic to your website as a paid one, if you are willing to put the time and effort in.

    But before I get to that I have to say this. If your website is poorly designed or lacks simple navigation, any website traffic you do get will leave faster than they arrived. So make sure you find a good web developer to take a look and review your site before you begin this free marketing campaign to make sure you aren't wasting your time and talent.

    The free marketing technique I am talking about is called article marketing. This is the process where you write an informational and educational article related to the content of your website and submit that article to various article directories on the internet.

    Let me explain in more detail. The first step is to write an article that is related to the content of your website. So let's say you sell laptop computers. You can write an article reviewing the top five external hard drives, or how to keep your computer running fast and smooth. As you can see the article is related to computers and it provides useful information to the reader.

    The next step is to create your resource box. A resource box is the area where you will tell the reader of the article a little about yourself and your website. An example resource box would be, "Jane Thompson is the owner of DEF Computer Systems, an online retailer of laptop computers. You can learn more about Ms. Thompson or DEF by visiting their website at {insert your web address here}." This example clearly states who the writer of the article is, where they get their computer experience from and most importantly a clickable link the website.

    With article and resource box in had it is time to submit this information to article directories. Article directories are websites dedicated to allowing website owners such as you to submit useful content. They receive tens of thousands of hits a day from people either looking to read useful information or would like to take this information and post it on their websites or blogs, a method called syndication. When they post your article on their own websites or blogs they do so with your resource box and the link to your website. As you can see if you wrote one quality article per day your website could be all over the internet in no time. I have personally helped friends who went from zero hits to over two thousand hits per day in less than thirty days, all for free!

    Now that you know the technique, simply repeat this process everyday for as long as you are in business, which is hopefully a very long time. Add the Google Analytics tool to your website so you can track your visitors and find out where they are coming from and use this information to fine tune your articles and which article directories to use more often.

    Thank you

    Hello Friends,
    There are thousands of sites out there that will sell you hits to your website. The big ones you may know are Google, AltaVista, Overture etc. However, these are mostly overpriced as they work on a bidding system where you bid against others on keywords. For example, if you type "Christian Web Hosting" on Google you get all those links on the right and the top. These are paid advertising links. Every time you click a link, the advertiser pays ... up to $50.00 for a click! I don't know about you but I certainly won't pay that kind of money for a click. The more "valuable" the word or phrase, the more you have to bid in order to get your site near the top. Crazy huh?
    niche market indices
    There are several Christian sites -- big and small -- offering this kind of advertising for a price. Shop around to find the best one for you. They come in two flavors:
    Pay per click
    Pay per month/year etc. (Recommended if the site has qualified traffic and enough hits).
    pop-under and pop-up advertising:-The name is exactly what it sounds like. The first one hides the popped-up page behind your current browser window and the second is a more "in your face" approach where the popped-up page is on top. Many people use pop-up killers these days and the trend is for more and more people to use software that blocks them. It's was a good form of advertising in the 90's - and the cheapest - but but these days most browsers block popups, so it's not a good idea to spend your money on this.
    redirected traffic:-A relatively new development is redirected traffic reselling. How it works is that people buy up old domain names -- sometimes by the thousands. These are all kinds of domains. For example, companies that went ****, old websites that were abandon by the original owners etc etc. These domains still get traffic simply because they are listed in the search engines and they come up from time to time when people search for certain words.
    "Social Networking" sites:-I put this in quotes because this would include everything from YouTube to Twitter to the mega blogging sites and everything in between. All good and all will generate some hits, just be careful not to overdo it: getting yourself banned on Youtube or your blog about your website on blogspot is so obviously an ad doesn't help. People want information, not more ads; we all get them up to our eyeballs on radio and TV every day. Be informative, give information but don't advertise.
    Thanks.

    Hi

    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]1) Selecting your domain name is the most vital step in getting a top ranking in Yahoo! and also other directories like Dmoz and Looksmart.[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]Make sure your domain name is "Keyword Rich". You can make your domain keyword rich by simply inserting hyphens to separate words in your domain name. Yahoo! gives more relevance to sites with keywords in their domain name.[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]While crafting your domain name, even you should try to keep your domain name such that it is made up of one, 2-4 words main or "parent" keyword; which in turn is made up of 2-4 high-in-demand "child" keywords.[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]You may or may not get a top ranking for all your targeted keywords but you can be sure of getting one for your main or "parent" keyword (If you do everything else right).[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]Even if you have to get a separate domain name for this purpose, GET IT! It is absolutely crucial for your ranking.[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]2) Sites which are placed higher in directory structure are given more relevance than sites which are placed lower or
    deeper.[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]For example a site listed in category - B2B/Business_Opportunities will be given more relevance than a site listed in category - B2B/Business_Opportunities/Directories[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]Here's a great tip to select the most trafficked category for your website...[/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]Once you have short-listed 2 or 3 category to place your site in to, check out the cost of Sponsor Listings of those[/SIZE][/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial, Verdana][SIZE=2]Thanks
