Getting people to visit your website is crucial, as you can’t make any sales no matter how good your product or site is if no one knows about them.
You can’t rely on random visitors to your website. To succeed as an internet marketer, you are going to have to go out of your way to attract website visitors.
This doesn’t mean that it has to be difficult to get more visitors to your site, though. Once you learn the right methods, you won’t have to spend more than an hour or so per day at the task of building traffic. You should not get the idea that there is only one way to get website traffic; there are actually quite a few good methods.
If you follow some of these suggestions, you can start getting more website visitors almost immediately.
Blog Commenting
If you start leaving comments on blogs, you can get more traffic to your site. You should do this in the right way, though. You have to make a meaningful comment, not just “great blog” or something like that. Leaving this kind of comment is usually considered spamming.
If you don’t want your posts to be deleted, you have to make relevant comments that respond to what others have written. Doing this will make you a valued participant in the discussion. Making a useful comment also makes it more likely that the blog owner or other participants will click on your link, bringing you more traffic. In some cases, you could even be included in the blogroll, which gives you some great exposure!
Article Writing
Another approach, or strategy, is to write articles that you can submit to directories, repurpose, etc. You’ll get to include an author bio box for your articles, so don’t forget those all-important links to your site. You’ll be able to submit to as many directories as you can find, if you want. Article directories like to have unique content, some more than others, so be careful about what you submit and to whom. Some directories will issue bans on people who submit duplicate content. But this doesn’t need to be a problem if you have several new articles each week. The more content you put out there, people will become more aware of you and your traffic will increase.
Newsletter Articles
Do you know of any newsletters that exist in your niche? Try to build a relationship, and then request if you can contribute some articles to their ezines. Offer to forego payment for the article in exchange for a couple of links to your websites. If you write good articles, with good information, you’ll see that many newsletters publishers will let you do this. You never know what may come of it, maybe a paid writing job.
There are quite a few ways to drive traffic to your site. But generally speaking, it’s a never-ending process. Traffic building plus backlink building are two things that should be worked on everyday. There’s so much to do, and that will help make it less boring. If it helps, maybe thinking about your profits will offset any feelings of extreme boredom.
