In this last edition of the series on the top 15 ways to generate targeted website traffic, we’ll be looking at the last four tactics that will always bring you traffic. So far, we have looked at 11 tactics. That means we are left with just four tactics. Let’s get started.
12. Write articles and post to article directories. This is pretty simple. But the key to this tactic lies in the quantity of articles submitted. While the quality is good too, it more likely that the more articles you submit, the more traffic you get to your website. Note that crappy, non-informative articles are like waste materials and time on your part and as a result, get neglected and possibly avoided. If you do not produce articles that people will glean information from, you will end up doing the exact opposite of what you desire –driving traffic away from your website or blog instead of driving them to the website.
Using this seemingly simple technique requires three special ingredients:
* A very compelling Headline
* An interesting body
* A byline that is attractive.
If your headline is not compelling, there is 110% that people would not click through to read your article. That is why you need to pay lots of attention to your headline.
13. Create a viral report. You can easily do this by putting together some pages of articles, or your thoughts on certain things. Then, convert to PDF and include the rights for it to be given away. Be sure to make it clear that they do not have rights to editing or extracting any part of the report. If you decide to give them the rights to extraction, make sure they also include your byline. So, you’ll have exclusive rights. To secure your report, you can use the secure function available on adobe so no one can copy anything or extract anything from your report. The bottom line is your link is in the report.
14. Write a compelling Press Release and submit to PRWeb.com. Note that your press release must be very newsworthy. This is because so many press releases are submitted daily and only those who are newsworthy will scale the test. If you do not have prior experience in writing press releases, visit PRWeb.com and look at the releases you find there. Look for those which grip your attention immediately, then try to write yours to be as compelling as that. On the other hand, get materials that are focusing on how to write Press Releases, visit forums where press release tactics are discussed. Another avenue you might want to exploit is outsourcing the contract to freelance Press Release writers. These can easily be found on websites like rentacoder.com, elance.com, ifreelance.com, journalismjobs.com et.c
15. Purchase Ads in Ezines and Newsletters in your niche. There are three types: Top sponsor ads, solo ads, and classified ads. You can do this by looking for ezines in your niche and paying for ads in those ezines. Solo ads get the highest form of traffic followed by top sponsor ads, and lastly, classifieds. The key to profiting from this is writing an ad copy that will prick the readers’ curiosity enough to click through the link you provided. Usually, using the subject lines such as “Free Report Reveals How to lose 20kg and Reduce your waist line by 10cm in 4 weeks”, works like magic because anyone who is on that list is looking for ways to lose weight. As a result, they’ll click through to see what you have to offer.
That is all on generating targeted traffic. If you implement all these tactics, you’ll find that traffic to your website or blog will increase dramatically.
