Different Ways To Increase Targeted Traffic To Your Website

When I first started documenting the methods I used for my initial authority site case study I needed to figure out exactly how I could drive traffic to my site. So, I sat down and listed all of the methods I have used (and currently use) to drive traffic to my website. So, here's a list of how you can increase targeted traffic to your website:

Article Submission

  • Article Directories

  • Article Trading

    • Trade your articles directly with other webmasters / friends (be sure to include your resource box)

  • Article Giveaway (to relevant sites)

    • Give away your unique articles to top sites in your niche (be sure to include your resource box)

Blogging

  • Create own network of “feeder” blogs (using free or your own hosted blogs)

  • Blog Traffic Services (purchase rights to post snippets in blog posts with anchor text links to your page)

  • Blog Comments (quality comments in relevant blogs – many blogs have nofollow)

Classifieds

Craigslist (short-term strategy)

  • US Free Ads (short-term strategy)

  • eBay (short-term strategy)

Linking

  • Reciprocal Links with Relevant Sites (trade links one for one with webmasters)

  • Three Way Links (do a three way link exchange with webmasters who own multiple websites)

  • Link Exchange Services (such as Link Vault or Link Metro)

  • Purchase Links (from webmasters or a link broker)

Lists

  • Co-Registration Lists

  • Joint Venture (other marketer's email lists)

  • Opt-in List (requires you to build your own list first…)

  • Safe Lists


Advertising

  • Ezine Advertising (advertise in various newsletters)

  • Pay-Per-Click (such as Google, YPN, MSN Adcenter etc.)
