The Cheap and Effective Ways to boost Website traffics

Traffic is the life's blood of your website. If you're not getting any visitors to your site, you are certainly not going to make any sales, and that means your site is a hobby instead of a money making business. If your site is indeed a hobby then the amount of traffic you get doesn't matter, but if it is a business, then it's an entirely different story.

If you are just starting out, you may be low on cash to throw at your new website. Being a little strapped for cash doesn't mean that you can't get the traffic you need to start making sales. There are several low cost ways to start the traffic ball rolling in your direction, and they are thing which you can do yourself with relative ease.

Writing and submitting articles to article directories is a highly effective way to establish both a link back to your site and to gain the attention of the people who would be interested in what you have to offer. Articles are good for establishing a long term pathway to your website. You can even find niche article sites that cater to specific niches, so make sure you search for those when finding directories to submit to.

Using Search Engine Optimization will also increase your chances of showing up in web searches for your site's topic. Some people think SEO is really difficult to understand and implement, but it's really not hard at all. Having your keyword in your domain name, title tag, image alt tags and on the first paragraph is the type of things which SEO encompasses. See, it's not that bad at all is it?

To get a little quick exposure for your site, you can create a blog account at Blogger.com and then link back to your site. The posts made at a Blogger.com blog are easily picked up by the search engines. To make the most of your new blog, be sure to post three or four times daily with short posts which contain your keyword. Your site will be frequently updated if you link to it in your Blogger.com account. Blogging is easy and using Blogger.com is free.

Remember that forums can be one of your site's best friends. By frequenting related forums and participating by making well informed useful posts, you can increase traffic to you're your site. Most forums allow signature files, and you can put your site URL in your signature file for the forum visitors to see and search engines to find. Never set up a new account for any forum just to go post one liners or non informative posts. This not only makes you a forum spammer, it ruins any chances you had to develop any networking relationships within the forum community.

So there you have some simple, very effective and cheap ways to get visitors to your new or existing website. By implementing the techniques discussed, you should be guaranteed a steady stream of targeted traffic.
