You not only get those precious back-links but also expect to get a stream of visitors from the sites that feature you and vice versa. When you trade back links from, say, 10 or 20 other websites, imagine the traffic you will be getting.
3) Viral Marketing Technique
Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product without any costs or if ever low costs only. This is a marketing method that can be quite sneaky; you can attach your company’s name, product or link to a certain media such as a funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip or buzz. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people.
4) Search and use proper keywords or keyword phrases for your sites content
For ranking higher in the search engines, you need to optimize your content pages with the right keyword or key phrase. Make sure you have the right keywords on your pages at the right locations. You can do this on your own or ask someone for help.
5) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site
Publishing articles and press releases about your topic works wonders. You not only get targeted traffic but also precious back links from high PR article directories and PR sites. If your topic is, say, whitening teeth, write a couple of articles and submit to leading directories and watch the traffic flow.
6) Join web 2.0 cummunities and topical forums
Capture a market and show your expertise and credibility. When you found a good foundation for your site, people will trust you and your site and will pass on to many people their trust. Traffic will certainly increase because they know that you can provide what they need.
7) Finally, publish newsletters.
By publishing your own newsletter, you will get a steady stream of loyal subscribers who already know and trust you. Provide valuable information in your publication and be consistent in the frequency. Always make sure that you have proper “call-to-action” in your offers.
