[ad_1]

Traffic without question is the most difficult aspect to new internet marketers the world over. Today, it takes some creativity to stand out from the crowd. Some 90%+ of new internet marketers give up within 6 months of the venture into internet marketing due to abysmal site traffic.

There is no magic formula to increase traffic to your site. That being said, marketers have developed many tried and true methods to promote their products, books, beliefs, opinions or services. And though the idea of re-inventing the wheel might be appealing to some, most need only follow the lead of those that have already cut the path to gather a growing audience.

Below are the techniques that are proven to work.

Any site or blog NEEDS to be submitted to every search engine you can think of. There are services that will do this for you. Some are free, some are paid services. Keep in mind some of the pay URL submit sites can run just a couple bucks to several hundred dollars. Everyones’ budget is different so only you can weigh the benefit cost on this. If free sounds like a good price then your fist stop is without a doubt, Googles add URL. Simply Google “Google URL submit” to see the link.

There are literally countless free URL submission sites. A simple Google search of “URL submit” will do the trick.

You may also consider Dmoz (open project directory). Dmoz is a process but, we want to get our URL everywhere, which makes this a wise investment of time.

Have your website or blog pinged every time you add content or make an announcement. Search engine “bots” will begin to index your site if you make sure to ping regularly.

There are many others so feel free to source them out. Again Google “ping my blog”

1. Submit your blogs to blog directories. Like URL submission sites, there are hundreds of blogs directory submission sites.

2. Articles articles articles. The gift that keeps on giving. Write simple and concise article about either your site, service or other product you wish to promote. Highly recommended is freearticlesubmission.org. Simply register for free. They won’t actually submit articles for you as much as provide you with a massive list of article hosting sites (currently 1077) you can submit to and a nifty way to track where you submitted.

3. Register in forums and participate there effectively, also do not forget to place your link on forums that relate to your articles in your website. Forums are increasingly becoming a major player in how traffic is generated. So spend a little time there.

4. Blog Commenting When you visit a website, blog related to yours always leave comments that will direct people to your site, the reason is that search engines especially Google ranks a website that is linked to other websites which means that the website must have valuable content.

5. Video Promotion. Have a video promoting you site or product? Then by all means spread the word. Submitting a video to as many video hosting sites nearly always results in a marked increase in visits to a website or blog. Be sure to include your URL in all video clip descriptions or in the video itself. One great and free mass video submission tool providing great results is TubeMogul.com. You will need to setup accounts at all the sites it submits to prior to mass submitting a video.

As you can see there are many ways to promote a website, this just being a few. Understand also, your site will, on it’s own, to some degree, spread out over time. Your building a business remember. Be patient but work smart and effectively use your time.
