I'm looking to increase traffic to my website. I have submitted to some search engines, do the social networking, and began the forums? I want to get slammin' traffic to my site. I work from home for a second income doing a few different things. Things are moving along but I want it to increase drastically. Any ideas?

Love it and have drastically increased traffic to my sites by using it.

Build as many personal relationships as possible and ask them for referrals. Network, network, network...Always!

Ask satisfied customers for testimonials and create a testimonial page. Ask Satisfied customers to post something positive about your business on the internet somewhere.

Like getagrip said article marketing can be very useful when building traffic, it is FREE as well

Write a good article and it could not only rank well on Google but people will be more likely to copy it to their site, widening the coverage and the chance of people clicking through from the article to your site.

articles are the way to go if you can write top articles then you will increase your traffic. there are programmes that will show you how to write really hot articles and as soon as you know how to write a top article then you will only get better at it.

Article marketing for me is tops

But if you're not into writing - you can learn it or try another advertising strategy that you're comfortable with.

Other people build their lists by using videos. They just post videos to youtube.com. Its important to use low competition keywords for your article/video titles

Use whatever you're comfortable with. Be good at it - and move to the next traffic generation source

Many options but it can get overwhelming, so just do one thing for a day post 10 sites on a TE's, 20 blogs, keywork rich is key... let me know.

to generate traffic online can be overwhelming but it isn't, You need to be dedicated, write articles, blogs, get on forums, etc

Google loves squidoo, ezinearticles, goarticles,

stuff like that is good for traffic and it helps out a lot. If you need anything I am more than happy to help, take care and have a nice day.

Depends on your budget. If you are on a limited budget I would go with

Articles
Forums
Classifieds
Videos
Blogs
Social Networks
Press Releases

Do these consistent and all all free. You will get tons of traffic and targeted absolutely free. Then combine paid advertising and you will have more traffic then you know what to do with.

Hey Broke no More

I think everyone has said the options to drive traffic to your site(s).
I do know that email marketing will drive targeted traffic to your sites. Its all about the targeted traffic.

Offer a free report but they have to give you there email to get it. That way you have a interested customer looking for products you offer on your list for future products that maybe simular or in the same niche. This isn't spamming cause they gave their email to you only cause they are interested. Aweber.com is a great place for email marketing.

Best of luck on the traffic drive

As I have the other replies, the one thing that is not mentioned that much is MySpace and Facebook. The number of people that are on these sites is just incredible. Many think that these are all kids and they aren't people that would be looking for income opportunities but they are. Between the two sites there are hundreds of millions of subscribers and millions of daily users.

Just think, that most of us need just a few people to respond to make our opportunities profitable. There are all the people that you could ever need on there. All you need to do is create an account, network with the members and offer something of value (not your Opportunity though). Sounds too simple doesn't?? But that is it, it is simple and people are looking for something that they can easily duplicate.

Hey I know its been said but I gotta emphasize, articles articles articles! Best way to increase traffic. Ezine and a few others takes some time to actually post your articles, but once they're up and the search engines find em you'll be good. Also when writing articles go to google adwords or yahoo's overvture and find keywords that have to do with your website. Use those key words as the titles for your articles. Be sure to use the keyword in the title not more then 6-10 times in an article less then 600 words. It'll take a few weeks but if you write the articles they will come!

Basically your writing a review on your business or product, you talk about it and post it.

Ezinearticles.com is favored by google, so If you write a decent article they will review it and if accepted would be on the top list of google search engine. Which is good traffic for you.

Other places like

squidoo, goarticles, blogger etc will work
continue to do forums like these and remember to build relationships.

A good rule of thumb is to have 7-10 methods of traffic generation working for you at all times...

Video marketing gets us a ton of traffic...

It's free...
It's viral...
It works for you 24/7...
It gets you targeted leads...
You can brand yourself...

Do I really need to go on

The most effective way to drive business to your website is to set yourself up as an expert/mentor. By cultivating this reputation, people will begin to seek you out, and instead of being the hunter, you become the hunted.
You can build your credibility by publishing articles, posting to forums, and also using videos. The main key ingredient to this is DON'T SELL ANYTHING!!! Instead, SELL YOURSELF!
As your credibility grows, you will separate yourself from all that internet mob of noise, and people will seek you out. Remember: People do NOT buy opportunities. People do business with People!

GIVE SOMETHING AWAY FOR FREE

Free is the magic word. If you can give something to other marketers that they can use for free the traffic to your site will increase. I offer free leads and get tons of hits over and over again. Everyone needs leads. Now when they sign up on my free lead capture page I give them a call and offer my assistance. I take this opportunity to learn what business they are in and if we have a bit of a connection I will cross market my own programs.

Another option is to create some cool video marketing. Its free , viral and is the new hot thing. Another place ive usd with alot of success is a site called linkreferral. It's a site where you get more traffic by reviewing other sites. I get about 15- 20 hits a day from it and it only takes me about 25-30 minutes to do everyday.

It has a solution of all problems. If you don't have money and you want to promote yourself, I think you can do these:

1) Article submission
2) URL submission
3) Social Bookmarking
4) Classified ads posting
5) Press Release
6) Affiliation
7) Forum posting
8) Blog commenting
9) Social network marketing on the site, myspace and face book
10) many more...

Its good that you are going to preform these tasks because I found it really difficult to me to do. And It seems you are novice in marketing, you may face many difficulties as well.

<Snip>

If you are looking to hire any professional, you can try Magicsolv.com, they are reliable, affordable and great service provider. I'd suggest you to give them a try, if you found them affordable then hire them otherwise you can leave.....

Well, Best of Luck!!

I have another idea for you..
This is totally free, and I am not affiliated, just impressed.

You must take action though:

Go To Social Media Daily and take the free download.
Take some action every day and let me know how you do.
This is a fantastic, brilliant resource.

Cheers, Victoria
