1. 4 Ways To Get Traffic To Your Website

2. Getting visitors to your website has been the ultimate
dream of internet marketers. More traffic equals more
money, so they say. But how can you do it without
spending a fortune?

3. Unknown to many there are a few ways of getting
visitors to your site without risking a lot of money. But
remember, it's not that easy. It takes more work. So, if
you would rather work instead of pay to get visitors to
your site, then here are a few things you can do:

4. 1. Submit articles to article directories. This is probably
one of the most effective ways of getting traffic to your
site. By submitting articles with a link that points to your
website, you are assured of long term traffic. As long as
your article stays in the directories that you submit to,
people can find it and the chances of getting traffic to
your website is increased. A few of the article sites
where you can submit to are goarticles.com,
ezinearticles.com, ideamarketers.com, articlecity.com
and articlesfactory.com.

5. 2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It's not really
rocket science. SEO is simply a technique that you
implement on your site to rank higher in the search
engines. Here are the things you might want to
implement right away:

6. a) Your domain name should have your keyword in it.

7. b) Title tag of each page of you site should contain your
keyword.

8. c) Your keyword should be on the first paragraph of your
page.

9. d) The image alt tags should contain your keyword.

10. e) The file names of each page of your site should also
have your keyword.

11. 3. Create a blog then link it to your site. Postings at
Blogger are easily indexed by Google. Updating your
blog is feeding the search engines. Each time you put
fresh content out, the search engines will notice it and
come running to eat it all up. Putting your keywords in
this fresh content will help you rank higher in the search
engines. Your site gets updated a lot if you link your blog
to it. Blogging is easy and it adds a lot of pages to your
site. You can get free blogs at blogger.com and
wordpress.com.

12. 4. Posting in forums related to your topic. By
participating in forums you'll have the opportunity to
place your link in the signature line and get traffic from
forum members. You can find a forum related to your
topic by going to a search engine and typing your
keyword + forum. Make sure the signatures you post in
forums are catchy to attract readers and make them
click on your link and come to your site.

13. These are simple, cheap and very effective ways of
getting visitors to your website. Implementing the above
would guarantee a stream of traffic not only for the
short term but also for the long haul.
