If you have a great web log (blog) or a great web page, it doesn’t really matter if no one sees it, right? So, to bring people on your site you have to learn how to do it. Traffic is the main problem to every webmaster, and not many of them know how to get quality traffic.
I will show you how to attract people to your site so they wish to never leave and always come back. All of these steps are free so don’t forget to write them down, bookmark this page or even tell your friend about it.
1. Secret law – Destroy the opposition
Find your (web) opponents and your friends. It doesn’t really matter who they are as long as you have similar info on your sites. After you find them try to exchange links with them. After that find out how do they promote them selves. Type in Google link:www.theirweburl.com and check their back link status. You can also use Yahoo Site Explorer and just type their web address. Just follow their steps and put your link where ever they put it (if it’s possible of course). Just remember, the higher their PR (Page Rank) is the faster will your PR grow.
2. Secret law – Social sites are your friends
Yes they are and use them when ever you can. If you like to hang out on MySpace or FaceBook or any other social network, and you have a lot of friends, send them all your link, invite them to your page, they would be glad to do it. And if they like it maybe they will put it on their profile page or send to their friends, you never know. You can also use social video sites like YouTube or MetaCafe. One is sure; you’ll get traffic from them all.
And don’t forget social bookmarks sites like Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon and others. These sites can really give a boost to yours and so much traffic you have probably never imagined.
3. Secret law – Comments are precious
Anyone here without a blog? No? I thought so. Everyone has a blog these days. Use that! Try to comment on every blog similar to yours (to your website) and leave smart comments. No one likes spam, so use this advice wisely.
4. Secret law – Community boards = Heaven on earth
I don’t think that there is a thing in this world that wasn’t discussed on some forum. Everyone likes to chat, especially over the internet. So use it as your advantage. Find a community board that matches your website and put them together.
You can put a link in your signature or you can even reply in some topic and as a part of the answer put a link to your web page. Just be careful and obey forum rules, you don’t want to get banned.
5. Secret law – Go viral
Everything can go viral; you just have to know how. It really doesn’t matter if that’s a text, picture or a video; it’s the way you show it to people. Don’t know how? Just use your imagination. If you can, put some funny, shocking or sexy elements in it. People love all that. Than you just have to put a good headline on it. Sometimes the headline is everything. It’s the first thing that people notice and the thing that will attract people so be careful. But absolutely use some funny, shocking or sexy elements in headlines too.
After that you’re one step viral. Now you just have to publish your material. You choose where to publish it – on forums, over the e-mails (to your friends), on social sites, social bookmark sites etc. What ever way you can imagine, use it.
So this is it. These 5 laws of website traffic attraction will help you find visitors and boost your traffic to the limits. When you get it just be sure to keep it, ‘cause you never know when will you find it again.
