Learn How I Get Traffic
Being positive is difficult if you’ve been scammed so many times, you don’t want to count. I’ve tried pay per click, I was a little successful, until I changed something, and then I lost my shirt. There are companies out there that will pay more than $10 for one click. I just can’t justify that, sorry.
I’ve tried joining forums and linking back to my site in my signature. Well, for all the work and usernames and passwords and so little people seeing it, it’s just not worth my time. I have kids to look after and a house to run. Not to mention all my sites.
Now, if the heavenly search engines would just rank me number one for my keywords, I would be laying on a beach in hot weather with not a care in my mind. Let’s just hope that is my future. Then I can claim to be one of those gurus. For now I will settle for being where I am, still honest.
OK, let’s get back on track, or should I say traffic. Now that I told you pay per click is a waste of money and forums are a waste of time, how do you get traffic. Well, you could blog, but that would only work if you have scores of traffic going to your blog. Press releases are another suggestion, but most of those sites cost money, to me I would just rather write a free article.
Then there’s social bookmarking. I still haven’t quite figured this one out. Isn’t it suppose to be others who bookmark you that make you popular, that can’t happen if you don’t have those people visiting you. Then there is MySpace or Facebook. Well you can tell you friends and family, but chances are they already know.
As far as I am concerned article marketing is one of the cheapest and best ways of getting traffic. Depending on which sites you submit to, you can get hundreds and even thousands of visitors per day in less than one month. It really depends on how many articles you write and what kind of quality they are.
First you need to write an article or two. Next you need to submit it to a directory. One of the most popular is Ezine Articles. They also tend to have the higher standards. Submit to them first. If they accept it, you know it’s good. Then you can re-submit that article to other directories.
Free article submitters are available if you search them out. Usually, they are some kind of stand alone software that will run on your computer. These submitters can make your life a little easier and make the process faster.
Unfortunately, here is the down side. These types of submitters are not supported, they hold static information, and only for about 100-200 sites. Your article will be sent to a general article directory, which doesn’t rank as high as niche directories. Also, each article will be exactly the same. Search engines don’t particularly like that.
