The biggest question site owners are asking these days is "how do I get traffic?" It is definitely much harder with the growth spurt of the Internet, however it's not impossible! There are TONS of ways to build up your traffic. Here are some of the most common methods.

1. 10 “Must Do Techniques” To Drive
Unstoppable Traffic To Your Site.
Brought to you by

2. First Technique: Article Marketing
Most business experts agree that marketing is everything. This art comes first in every business venture.
Marketing blends and integrates all the functions of the business together and presents them to customers
in the form of advertising, promotion and other marketing activities. This is why most online businesses or
websites consider marketing seriously. The importance of marketing lies in its ability to bring the business to t
he market - where customers dwell and opportunities thrive. In the case of websites, if one wishes to have his
site linked to thousands of other sites in the internet, also known as backlink, then you may consider article
marketing as your first option.
Apparently, the benefits of article marketing are endless, probably because countless possibilities could happen to you.
But these things are certain and fundamental. What’s so great about article marketing is that it is the easiest and fastest
way to promote your site. Not to mention, not only is it easy and fast, it’s free of charge. Contrary to the typical marketing
strategy in the corporate world, where hundreds and even thousands of dollars are spent, article marketing is free.
Later on, we will run through some of the basics in article marketing.
Another benefit is that it gives you instant exposure. Ever heard of stories where a song or a book gets that instant
success overnight? This is also true with article marketing. It gives you a direct and instant exposure, period.
Another proven benefit of article marketing is 100% efficiency. This technique is sure to win if used as a strategy.
Then of course since it is marketing, once the effort is done and the seeds have been sowed to the field, all you have
to do is watch and see your website get promoted passively! This means that everyday your site will be promoted,
more and more customers will link you, and more visitors will attach your site, and this will go on and on.
So how will I do it? Let’s get our hands dirty now as we learn the basic type of article marketing.
Here it is.
1.First, try to make an article or a review about your brand, in your case – your website, what you are selling or what you are about.
2. For example, if your site is about guitars, you may want to make an article about guitars.
3.Then post it to popular article directories in the internet.

3. One or probably the top directory we have today is www.ezinearticles.com. Post it there and have it published.
Ezine Articles hosts thousands of articles and are categorized in many sections.
You may check in their site for further reference.
3.Then here is the one last thing you shouldn’t miss out - attach your website at the end of your article
post, i.e. www.mydomainname.com. You may want to attach “for more resources or for further reference,
please visit my site at www.mydomainname.com” or “Click here to Learn guitar tabs” as anchor text text.
Here’s a good example I got from ezinearticles.com:
When you do this, visitors can follow you to your website, which is our main goal by the way.
There are other article directories our there. But these site directories are at the top: EzineArticles.com,
GoArticles.com and SearchWarp.com. You may consider these sites in your priority list. Since article marketing is limitless,
other web masters can take your content to their own site. Talk about passive marketing.

4. Second Technique: Social Bookmarking
In the field of website promotions, links are not enough. And most of the time, web masters go through the season of waiting,
where they just watch and wait for that visitor to come. Sadly this happens most of the time. The sigmoid curve applies to website
marketing and promotions as well. At first, your site goes through the process of building, often the hard and difficult process we go
through in marketing: planning, goals-setting, etc. Then it grows, where many visitors flood and traffic your page. But then soon
enough, it declines. This is the reality of most businesses. The S-curve applies to all. So in the area of website marketing and traffic
generation explosion, we might want to consider some effective solutions if we want to thrive and dominate the internet marketplace.
Social Bookmarking has been there for long but only a few people really know what it is really about. Similar to bookmarking
the favorite pages of your business book or magazine, or bookmarking the last page you’ve just read in your favorite novels,
social bookmarking works in the same way too. Contrary to using the bookmark feature of your web browser, social bookmarking
involves not only you, but the many users also in the internet. This is why social bookmarking is considered as one of the best
effective ways to promote websites and your brand.
Social Bookmarking has some amazing benefits. One of its benefits is heavy promotion. By joining social bookmarking sites,
you get to tag or mark your website for others to see. And once it is viewed by many, alas, you give the notion that your website
is something to be taken seriously, and that your brand is really good. Since you are using the internet and the art of socialization
as your primary tools, you are 100% sure that your site will get promoted in the internet. Although it may take time to grow your
marketability through social bookmarking, once it is marked, it is there. This means that once you have made it to the top list of the
most bookmarked sites; you are going to be there for a long time. Your marketability will stay long too. Hard efforts equals to long-
term
results.

5. So how does social bookmaking work? Here is a simple way to do it:
First, join a social bookmarking site, and sign up for a new account. The most popular website on social bookmarking is
www.delicious.com. You may also check other popular sites in the internet.
Then once registered, try installing a button on your toolbar. By then you are ready to go. In just a simple click on that website (you
may want to click your own here), you already bookmark it for others to see. The good thing about this technique is that if a friend
of yours has a similar interest on your brand or website, he/she may bookmark it also. Then just like the universe, which is
constantly extending, your business will continue to expand and grow in marketability and profit. Social bookmarking is really
something.

6. Third Technique: The Yahoo! Answers Strategy
The third technique in effective website promotion is through the use of a simple “who would ever thought of” tool – the Yahoo!
Answers feature of Yahoo. Launched in 2005, this question and answer community site allows people to ask questions and have
them answered by other users in the environment. Its feature makes it an ideal ground for selling promotion to your brand and website.
It is surely one of those fantastic places to visit where we could get that instant exposure to potential visitors and yes, customers.
And of course why not utilize this feature? Yahoo! Answers breeds countless numbers of internet users from all around the world.
If you are looking for an ideal marketplace to promote or sell your website, Yahoo! Answers is the place.
Located via the URL www.answers.yahoo.com , the site contains all the possible questions ever conceived by the human mind.
Well some might not seem human at all, or dumb for short, but you may still consider using this tool wisely. How does it work?
Here is a simple step to utilize this feature.
1. First type in www.answers.yahoo.com and once inside the site, click on the new user sign up link.
2. Upon clicking the button, you will be asked to enter in your personal information, given that you have no yahoo mail account yet.
Then after putting in all the details, click the Create My Account button. By then you are ready to go!
3. Once registered, you may now post your strategic questions. Or if you want, try to look for questions posted in the environment
that are somewhat related to your website or brand. Meaning to say, considering your goal to attract more visitors and potential
customers to your website, you may want to spot for the needs around. Once you find that question, you may post your humble
answer there.

7. 4. Oops! don’t forget to attach your website link to your post. Without this move, you will not be able to promote your product or
brand and you will waste that opportunity to advance your way up in the marketplace. One of the most surprising truths about this
is that most of the users in Yahoo! Answers don’t have marketing and promotions in their mind. You may only find few users who did
attached some links to their own sites, which means to say that you are among the first to wisely realize the tremendous benefits
of using the Yahoo! Answers tool.
So here is fast run-through example. Let’s say you own a website about guitars and you want to have it promoted fast, then you may
sign in to Yahoo! Answers and post a question like, “Where can I buy good guitars?” then since it will be posted in the forum, others
may give their own advices and tips. But then as a business-minded person, you may post an answer like, “Hey I have found a good
place to buy good guitar. It’s in www.yourguitarsite.com.” Now what you just did there was you’ve nailed a link in your website link for
others to see, thus, generating more visitors to your website. You can also search for questions related to your topic.
For example, a question posted by an unknown user says, “Where can I get online tutorials for the guitar?” Here you may put in your
Humble answer in the post and also add the link of your website there. Don’t forget - post and link.
These and many other ways you can do in the Yahoo! Answers tool to generate more traffic and visitors to your page.
Cheers to your success.

8. Fourth Technique: Valuable Blog Comments
Blogs have been used in the internet as sources of information and human expression.
They come in different forms ranging from business blogs to personal blogs, and from specific areas like travel and sports.
Our fourth technique introduces a way to use blogs as leverage for traffic generation into your own website. This technique is a
great way to get those desired links for your site. And more than that, this is a more of a relevant and meaningful way to attach
your link. As much as possible, we want to avoid being branded as cheap or worse, spam. Thus our fourth technique is through
the use of valuable blog comments.
This works by searching blogs in websites, preferably top blog sites like www.blogger.com and www.wordpress.com.
These awesome sites have thousands of bloggers in them. You may want to fish into these rich, deep waters.
So assuming you are planning to promote your website about cooking, you may want to search blogs about cooking and food,
also maybe about restaurants. Then you’ll do the 5 step process we will introduce here in order to create valuable blog comments.
This will work magic since unlike most blog commentaries; valuable blog comments possess sincerity of intention, relativity to the
subject, and connection of common interest. There will be a 7/10 ratio or a 70% chance that your endorsed links will get through
by the use of this process, contrary to the usual slim 20% probability that most cheap blog commentaries get.
There is sure way to get those blog comments running straight up to the trash can. That is through the use of cheap blog comments.
Familiar lines like “Awesome Page, please check mine at www.blahblahblah.com.” are a no in the marketing arena. Simply put – there
are no shortcuts to success. You have to earn it yourself. There is a valuable way to post blog comments. And this is done through
the use of our 5 step process.
Here it is:
The first process is to read the blog. That might sound simple. But our brains can trick us to assume that we already know what the
blog is usually. So we are not reading at all, but assuming. Take the wisdom of the fully-filled glass of fowl water. Because it is full, it
cannot take in new and fresh spring waters. So when we read the blog, make sure you really read it with an open mind.
The second process is to understand. This will only happen if we already did the first process. Have we figured out what the blog is
really about? Or you rush in to post your cheap comment without really understanding the whole point of the blog. Understanding is
the key to developing valuable responses and comments

9. Third process is to relate. This is where connection happens and your comment becomes valuable because is it relevant to the point.
We may consider relating our own personal experiences to the blog. How can I relate to the blog? Do I have something valuable to say?
If you do, them it is time to go to the fourth process. After reading, understanding and relating to the main point of the blog,
then it is time to post your valuable blog comment.
Watch and see this process work wonders for you and your business.
And of course, the last and final step of the process is to attach the link of your website to your blog commentary.
Everything will go easily now as long as you have already followed the initial 4 Steps to creating valuable blog comments.

10. Fifth Technique: The Power of Blogs
Blogs are the in thing today. Almost everyone using the internet is well oriented and acquainted to this technology.
There are popular websites out there that promote its heavy usage - including popular social networking sites.
With the rise of the information age, blogs are becoming the primary mediums for information dissemination covering different
topics and fields. The master marketer must realize that there is a gold mine in blogs.
For our fifth lesson, we will talk about harnessing the power of blogs to generate more traffic into our website.
This technique is a very powerful way to promote brands and products. Today, many companies and businesses are realizing the
power of blogs. So if you don’t have this feature in your website, you might consider having one now. Blogs open up doors that
are not there as when you have a single regular website. Popular blog platforms include WordPress, Blogger and Livejournal.
You may check for other blog platforms in the internet, but these three are at the top.
The benefits of using blogs in order to create more site traffic are immeasurable. Maybe because blogging is an ongoing activity
and it has turned into a major source of sharing information in the internet. So how do blogs work? Blogs usually come out form our
stream of consciousness. Most would say that blogs are really base on opinions on one’ self, which by the way makes it even more
potent since personal opinions are true, honest and frank. So if a potential buyer sees that there are positive blogs about a specific
product, then that customer is more likely to buy the product. In the same way, if you provide blogs about your website or your
product, and you post it in top blog platforms; then you will likely gain more visitors in your site and even close that deal for a sale.

11. Most blog platforms even have the option to send your newly created blog to your contact list. And since it is free, your blog may
continue to wander off to the nth degree, get shared to other people, and read more by interested customers.
So are you beginning to see now why blogs are considered to be a very potent and powerful tool in your promoting your website?
Here is an easy way to start harnessing the power of blogs.
1.If you already have a website, you may start creating your own blog site as well, or add up a blog feature in your website.
2.For example, if your site is www.myfavoritesite.com, you may want to add www.myfavoritesite.blogspot.com as your blog site.
3.Or just about any name as long as it fits your choice.
1.Then you may also post blogs in popular websites to have them viewed by the public.
1.Also don’t forget to notify your friends or other people you know in your contact list when posting that blog. In the battlefield
2.of the best, you have to be wise and smart, blogging is the perfect weapon for you in this fight.

Lesson Ten. Imagine entering into a room filled with media, radio reporters, T.V crew, writers, businessmen, a podium and a
microphone. What do you get? Yes! It is a press release. Press release, sometimes called news release is usually a written
or a recorded communication directed to the news media, for the primary purpose of releasing something – a product, a new
line, a new member, a new name or new strategies. Basically this is common thing in public relations with the main goal of
drawing attention to viewers and promoting the brand or product to the marketplace. Other purposes could be an announcement
of an update or a new event in a company or organization.
