Getting visitors to your website
isn't difficult, but it does take some consistent
effort. Here's what to do.
=> Join 1-2 Forums
Join one or two forums in your
industry. If you join two, use the same username for both
websites. Ideally, your username should be your real name.
That way you're building your brand and reputation from day
one.
Contribute to discussions. Start
informative threads that help people solve problems. Answer
their questions in various threads and forums if you can.
Building up a reputation in a forum
takes a bit of time. Generally you need to get to at least
1,000 posts before people will take you seriously.
Once a forum starts to recognize you
however, you'll have some serious networking power at your
disposal. People will respond to requests for favors,
because you've already made so many deposits into the "favor
bank."
=> Article Marketing
Article marketing is another
powerful way to get traffic to your website.
Start by writing articles and
submitting them to various article directories. These
article directories already have solid Page Rank and
reputation in Google's eyes. Getting your articles to rank
for long tail keywords by submitting them to article
directories is quite easy.
You should also submit your article
to industry-specific article directories. Although these
have lower page rank, it's also more relevant than just a
broad article directory.
Finally, approach blog and website
owners and offer to write unique articles for them in
exchange for a backlink. You'll often get a yes. Remember,
website owners need to put out great content too - It's a
lot of work for them that you're offering to do for free.
=> Joint Ventures and Other
Partnerships
A joint venture is when someone else
with a large email list promotes your product. You give them
a great product for their users and he sends you a boatload
of traffic.
Other forms of partnerships include
exchanging backlinks or doing joint teleseminars. The goal
is to exchange both backlinks for search engines and to send
traffic to each other's websites.
If you can build relationships in
person and then exchange the resources of your online
websites, that's even better.
=> Search Engine Optimization
Getting your site ranked in the
search engines can be a powerful strategy for getting
traffic.
The most important thing is to
research keywords that you can really rank for. Choose
keywords that have a decent amount of traffic and don't have
too much competition.

Make sure your keyword is in
your title tag and your H1 tags.
Then get as many backlinks to
your site as possible.
Building your site is just the first step.
You then need to get as much traffic to your website as
you can.
