Some Words About Website Traffic

There's got to be 1,001 ways to get traffic to a website. I'm sure there's more. So, my question is; Are you one of the people who just can't send traffic somewhere? It's optimized, monetized, SEO-ed, and all those other techinical terms to mean it's easy for people to find it, but noone is coming?

A quick rundown of ways to get people to your sites are:

Message Board Signatures: People surprisingly click on them. Who knew?

Articles: Like this one. At the bottom is one of the things I've done where you can learn mroe about this stuff. People click on that too. Sometimes they buy. Who knew?

Pay-Per-Click: You can pay for it. That can get expensive. It's got to be learned, but FREE is so much more on the budget...

Borrow it: You can trade traffic with other websites in your same market or niche. Trade links. Depending on the site it'll be a trickle or a waterfall that comes in.

Search Engine Results. The "natural" free traffic that comes in when someone sees your site at the top of search results. This one takes times to learn, but the fundamentals all make sense.

Redirect it. Perhaps you already have a place that gets good traffic. You may not know how it's doing it, but you can direct them off somewhere else you own to monetize them. Add a link here or there in good places to make them go where you want them to go.

The thing with getting website traffic is there is no, one, single, magical fix. You leaves crumbs and links to pull from anywhere and everywhere you can. At the same time you get looks reciprocal or one-way links with highly important and popular sites in the search engines.

It will come. It always does if you do it right.

This rant-worthy article about traffic comes from the author of Chimp Change. An ebook will well learned and hard learned information to get you back on track so you know where to go next in your internet marketing efforts.
