How to get more and more traffic...???

[Smith]

On page optimization is necessary and has some limitation but off page optimization is very important so try to optimize that carefully also do some email marketing join the forum where your niche customers community is available using your link in a signature as Brian already recommended a forum. Focus and increase your Domain Visibility!

Good Luck

Ask Brian to do a review of your website, although many of use like to think our websites are fine, they are generally not. Techniques change and we have to change with them.

Generating traffic is something we all crave for. For SEO, getting inbound links to your site thru article marketing and submission to directories, social bookmarking, forum signatures should work just fine.

From a marketing perspective IMO, the more links you have, the more exposure you get and the more chances these links convert into traffic.

It is best that you draw targetted traffic to your site as this has the highest rate of conversion. One usually gets this thru PPC, targetted link backs, forum posting on similar niche,

You should focus on this more. Here is a checklist you may find useful in promoting your site. Hope it helps

I'd disagree. Do you really think McDonalds or Adidas or whoever would be spending zillions on offline advertising if it were that easily forgotten? 'Course not. Offline promotion can be just as effective as online, it just works differently. For most companies, the most effective marketing strategy would be some mix of the two.

I actually read this as Tracy saying it is a method that people usually forget about using. I may be wrong though.

Ah yeah, could be

Indeed - I've been to a few conventions based on the topic of one of my big sites - always take "business cards" advertising the site with me. Made some great contacts, brought some great people to the site's community, and also helped raise its overall profile.

Hi,

I did mean it was a method easily forgotten by webmasters.

The obsession with the little green bar and SERPS is a major distraction from mediums like offline advertising.

then I agree I think the problem is that offline stuff generally costs more. Businesses look on it as a cost and not an investment, which seems a bit daft, really.
