Getting Traffic to Your Website or Blog

Once you have developed your marketing niche website or blog you will then be faced with the huge challenge of getting traffic to it. SEO or Search Engine Optimization plays a major role in this and should not be ignored or underestimated. Be sure that your website or blog is "search engine friendly", submit your sitemap to Google, ensure your keywords are the proper balance and match your page content and start building your "external links" through link exchange and social networking. Google offers many great tools for webmasters to fine tune their site so use them!

One way to use free or low cost, traffic generating methods is to sign up at several good "surf for traffic" sites. Be careful, however; because Google will view many of these as falsely inflating your traffic counts and may blacklist your site if you make poor choices in your traffic sites.

Here are a few traffic sites that I use and have had good conversions with:





Build traffic with free traffic exchanges

Great 1:1 Traffic Exchange











All of these sites are free to join, offer bonus credits at sign-up and surfing incentives. With many of them, you can also build your list, email your downline and get paid/earn credits for referrals. They all offer custom splash pages to advertise and offer rotators. The number of pages you can include varies from site to site and I haven't had trouble getting my sites approved for rotation with any of them. I recommend all of them for increasing your traffic and encourage you to join them all for free! Kick the ole' tires a bit and then upgrade with the ones that you receive the best conversions from.
