11 Steps For Generating Traffic to Your Website by Carl E Hughes

There are many different methods for generating traffic to your website. If you ask ten people which method is best you will probably get ten different answers.

Step 1 the first thing of course is to buy a relevant domain name

Step 2 create a blog using both Blogger and word press (hosted on their sites)

Now the reason for this is that you can actually get each of these Blogs to appear in the search engines for your keywords

Step 3 use the traffic generation strategies that work for you some options are. A. Link directories There are literally hundreds of directories that you can use for posting your link to

Step 4 Comments on Blogs Simply go to Blogs in the same niche as yours and leave comments that are relevant and contain a link to your blog

Step 5 Social Bookmarking There are many very good social Bookmarking sites out there

Video marketing There again there all kinds of sites available for this purpose

Step 6 press releases

Step 7 ezine advertising

Step 8forum signatures

Step 9 article marketing Make sure you do not neglect this one

Step 10 pay-per-click Be careful with this one as it can get to be very expensive very quickly.

Step 11 track the results of each of these methods individually over time to find out which method or methods work best for you, ideally you would hope to find that several of these methods work quite well continue with the methods that work the best.

Now some of these methods work quicker and with shorter duration then others, for example, while social Bookmarking will bring you a lot of traffic initially it will fade over time and may not be as targeted as you want it to be. Article marketing on the other hand will tend to be longer term and more targeted than some other methods.
