Arrow Most effective ways to get traffic to your site ;)

Hi everyone!

Traffic, Traffic, Traffic! How do we get it? There are lots of possible ways to get traffic. All you need is to look at this list for your reference and check if you have done any of this yet.

Free methods:
Submission to SE's and directories
Article marketing
Email campaign
Forums, blogs and board postings
Social Bookmarking
Etc. etc.

Premium ways: (Should require a budget)
Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
Targetted Link backs
Professional SEO services
Ad spaces
Offline campaigns
Etc. etc.

Random and unique traffic is good to any site but getting targetted traffic is what makes the difference. This kind of traffic yields the highest conversion which would determine your site's success. Given a budget, I would always opt for PPC. PPC is a very effective way of getting targetted traffic given the proper treatment. Identify your niche and select the market you want to cater to and start from there. Research also on the keywords your desired market would most likely be looking for. IMO, one should be more focused on getting targetted traffic than just page views. Buying targetted link backs are also effective at getting targetted traffic. It really all boils down to what your site offers to your traffic ;)

Another great way of targetting your desired audience is through forum posting on similar niche with your link on your signature. What I like about forum posting is that it is totally free.

My question is : What methods do you use to draw traffic to your site? Random and targetted alike.

Hoping to hear from you! ;)

i find the best way is to work really hard on getting your site in the natural rankings in google and staying on top.

Yep! SEO wise - that is the way to go.. but if you need faster results, I suggest you venture also in premium ways (PPC, ads, etc).

I try to get natural ranking through targeted link building, but I use PPC when I need targeted traffic right now. If you just need a lot of page views, Stumble Upon works great for an untargeted bodycount.

Entrecard is good and genuine.
Link Referrals I don't prefer much.

Well for Affiliate Marketing you just need to do some BUM marketing and get good sales.

Great points! Targeted link building could help you in two ways - SEO and direct targeted traffic form the actual backlinks you build ;)
