Increase Blog Traffic with Pay Per Click
There are only 3 of the most useful Pay Per Click Services on the Net: Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN. What is your product and who your target market is. For some products it can be Adwords, for some Yahoo will work better! Unfortunately with PPC you can also lose lots of money very fast when you don’t know what you are doing.
Increase Blog Traffic with Newsletter/Ezine Advertising
You just have to find ezines catering to Your target market and present them your offer in a proper way. Can be so called “Solo Ad” where Yours is the Only offer being send, however from my experience any decent size ad works well if you present it to the right audience in the newsletter whose recommendation they trust!
Increase Blog Traffic with Industry Specific Directories
You can find some industry specific directories where you can submit for free, but they won’t bring you so much targeted traffic like those paid ones. But, if you get the time submit to them anyway. Links from them are still considered very Valuable by Search Engines for your ranking.
Proven and Practical Traffic-Generation Techniques that could make you a Fortune ... These techniques are devised and practiced by successful affiliate marketers to drive traffic to their site or blog and get converted sales.
1) Viral Marketing
I create QUALITY freeware/shareware applications that are really basic and directly market one product or affiliate program.
Then I distribute them to about 600 software directories using a software submission program. Honestly, almost all the traffic comes from the big sites that only accept legit programs that aren't just spam or "browsers" that open an affiliate link.
So don't build junk; it's not worth your time.
This has generated almost 490,000 unique visitors this year in few different markets. I make about anywhere from $90 - $250 a day as a result of these passive efforts (so far, increasing continually as I put more stuff out there).
Also, I have one campaign right now that acts as a list-builder and gets about 30 to 50 new subscribers a day.
I don't want to reveal niches, but for example one of my submissions was a currency converter that plugged into a Forex affiliate program and has generated some decent commissions since, and continues to do so.
The traffic is nearly instant and it doesn't really stop, either.
My best single day was just over $9,100.00 in sales straight from organic, viral marketing. I was pretty stoked; it was an unusual - but very welcome - spike in traffic and sales. (That wasn't forex, it was another product)
2) Basic, Easy SEO Linking Methods That Are Supposedly Dead
There's a lot of people out there who say that reciprocal linking and even linking in general is "dead".
They're lying, or they're 'parroting' something (inaccurate) that they've heard.
Reciprocal links aren't as effective as one-way links for search engine marketing, but they DO have an impact on your traffic - especially in search engines like MSN and Yahoo. And because it's so easy to do (or outsource), I continue to do it, and it continues to work.
But what I do is a mix of everything when it comes to linking. I build no less than one new site a month with about 15 - 20 pages whose sole purpose is to promote ONE affiliate program that converts really well.
The site is straight HTML with nothing fancy. Most are ugly as hell. They aren't blogs, because I don't really like blogs that much. It's a personal issue, I guess...
Then I hire out the following:
-----------------------------------------------
- 100 reciprocal links from relevant, quality sites
- 30 one-way links from good, quality sites (relevancy doesn't really matter for one-ways, actually)
- 400 Directory submissions - actually I use the offer in the "Warrior Offers" section of the Warrior Forum by David (aka. "AverageGuy"). Great service.
- About 4 or 5 article submissions to all the major article sites, using pen names
- Some "Bum Marketing" on Squidoo.com and Zimbio.com
- Some forum posting and Yahoo Answers (helps with traffic, even if the links are tagged as "rel=nofollow")
- Some covert linking strategies (not sharing here, sorry, it would just be abused if too many people did it - more details below).
To be fair, you could do all of this yourself for free, but it makes more sense to hire it out and it isn't actually that expensive, especially in comparison to the results...
In an IN-DEMAND market, doing this for a site that has about 20 pages will result in about anywhere from 120 to 500 visitors a day.
This can realistically be achieved in about 2 months, maybe less if you're a real go-getter (we're talking free, organic traffic).
Thats targeted, buying visitors.
Most of my visitors start out initially trickling in from the BUM Marketing and forum posting.
In about a month, the first search engine (either MSN or Google) will kick in and start sending traffic. The others follow a few months out, but it never fails.
EACH site I roll out like this - if they're in the right market promoting the right thing the right way - will earn at least $50 to $100 a day or more.
This is because the conversions are strong for what I promote.
Side Note: I use my first step (Viral Marketing) to find high-converting offers first, and then I step it up with a few mini-sites.
3) Build Useful Resources Worth Linking To and "Talking" About
In continuation, if those mini-sites really pull AND if the market holds my interest and I can stand writing about it, then I proceed to roll out the "mother site".
This is the big-ass free site that does something really cool or helpful (or free that's usually charged for); it will eventually become a staple "Authority site" in the niche, and most of your traffic will be controlled by it.
This is the part you where you need to plan your growth, start outsourcing content creation and so on.
(Income-wise, the Mother site will basically be earning whatever your mini-sites do for quite a while until the search engines start seeing it as an actual authority and the long-tail traffic roars in from a multitude of high-ranking content)
And it ties in directly to the next strategy...
4) Build a Better Product (Or An Accessory Product) and Attract Affiliates
If you've done all the prior steps, you're now a major force in your market.
It's time to step it up even further and make some serious cash by rolling out your own product, or series of related products that all cross-promote each other in some way.
You will be controlling a lot of traffic now so this will let you test - in real time - the effectiveness of your OWN offer versus your proven affiliate converters.
Use theirs as the "control" (figuratively) and make your own copy out-perform it.
It goes without saying that prior to doing this, your product should be better than what you're currently promoting as an affiliate, or at least have a different angle.
Side Note: If you can't build a better product, create an accessory product that "ties in" well with the existing best-sellers in the niche and try to get the product-owners to promote it as affiliates.
With a better product, higher conversions and the same (or perhaps better) commission to affiliates, you should be able to attract affiliates no problem over time.
This is a whole topic in and of itself, but AFFILIATE PROGRAMS are a major, major source of traffic.
And almost nobody talks about it, strangely.
5) Do It All Over Again
Whether you do this in the same general niche or in a different one, just repeat these steps over and over again until you reach your ideal income target.
Yes - in a general "bird's eye" sense - it's really that easy.
If the size and demand of the niche supports it, it would be easiest to just keep on dominating the niche you're already in by:
- Creating more mini-sites
- Adding to the Mother site
- Rolling out new products that promote other products/memberships on the backend as well as other people's products as an affiliate
- Getting more links
- Building and profiting from opt-in lists
- And whatever else works for you
Link Exchange is another way to increase traffic to your blog. And it can be a long process if you go searching for blogs that are similar to yours. But there are easy way out. Read on and you will know :

Also try and get your site to diggs front page for more traffic
Increase site traffic with relevant Forum posting.
A good way to gain more traffics to your blog is by joining an active forum and post relevant topics or reply. One of my money making blog's traffic was spiked when I made a reply to a question in a forum. The reply comes with a link back to my blog posting.
That blog post was in fact a simple post but with relevant information. Another factor that boosts the traffic was that forum have thousands of members and it's a very active or busy forum.
Spiked traffic, so what ? Well, I go one step further by taking advantage of the situation. That is when there is a traffic spike, one page link instantly become THE most popular page. What I did was to edit that page and add more links. The result: additional pages views and more traffics.
The idea of amending that page (since it has become very popular) is to introduce more links to the visitor so that there will be possibility of more page views or click.
