How To Drive Traffic To Your Site

No matter how good a writer you are, or how creative your site is, without any traffic it does not matter.Fancy graphics and flash do not matter if no one actually comes to your website to view them. Traffic is always the end game for anyone trying to publish ads or sell anything on the web.It may seem like a mystery to a lot of people, because so many products focus on SEO or PPC or web management products, with not much time devoted to the nuts and bolts of getting links and traffic. Very few actually work on where the heck you get traffic from.

The number one source of free traffic will come from natural search engine ranking, and the consistency is hard to beat. Why? Once you build your site up on a few keywords that get decent search volume, this traffic will be consistent. PPC or other methods are fine, but are also subject to other risks that must be managed.You really just need links and content as the keys to getting higher ranking on Google.

One way to get links is through submitting niche articles related to your site to an article directory.Once your site topic is decided, you will want to write at least 20 articles that are 300-500 words in length.Make sure you have signed up for an Adsense and Adwords account before you write any articles, even if you have no plans to use them. Google has some terrific free tools for researching keywords and how often they are searched. You don’t need to spend days researching keywords BUT you really need to pick 3 or 4 keywords to focus on for your articles that get decent traffic in the search engines and are related to your topic. Another tool you can use that is free is PPC Web Spy (just google it) – it allows you to see what keywords people are bidding on for their PPC ads on Google – again, they have probably done extensive work since they are paying for the ad clicks – no reason you cannot just benefit from their work and use some of those keywords.
