Top 5 Traffic Sources for Your Website

I wanted to share with you today some useful ways to drive targeted traffic into your websites...

As you may know already, there are tons of methods to do this job, but some could work better than others, and in this case in particular, I will point only the best traffic sources I found for newcomers and people who is starting in this business...

The problem here is that it is not easy at all to drive traffic to your website being a newbie, there are many things that you will be learning while you do it, trial and error like I use to say...

But if you focus on some methods and stick working on them, you can't fail and in time you will see your effort paid off.

So... let's get our hands dirty, shall we? Time to catch that traffic!

Forum Marketing:

If you are just starting, this is the best method ever. It's really easy to do, but it requires time and patience before you see some consistent response from the audience.

Here you only need to subscribe to forums related to your niche, and place your link of whatever you are selling/promoting with some catchy phrases that attract people's attention in your user signature.

I will point some things that are important in this traffic method, please read carefully:

1) Read the TOS before joining... I know many people don't do this, and that's the reason many of them get banned. Some forums have specific restrictions for Internet Marketing, and you should know them before you start posting there. If you find a forum that doesn't allow signatures, just move to the next one.

2) Build your name with the community... You will be a newbie in the forum, nobody knows you, so it's quite important that you start getting to know your audience, post regularly, ask questions, answer them if you can. In time people will identify your brand with you, and you will begin to get recommendations and better traffic response.

There are two types of posts that you should make while using this traffic source... one is replying to users questions, adding value to the forum through your opinions. And the other is creating new topics with relevant and useful information.

The second option will be the most catchy for your audience, but for starters it will require time, just because you don't know much about the business yet...

But hey, if you are serious about what you are doing here, in time you will learn lots of things that will allow you to add value to your brand and you will make a professional name for yourself.

3) Be nice to the members, and most important of all, have FUN!

If possible never engage with other members, always show a smile, be positive and stay in tune with the community. Share off-topic information in time to time, make people laugh. I assure you this TIP is key in order to make people know you faster. This is not like a full-time job where you lower your head and say "Yes, boss....", you have the opportunity to be yourself here, so take advantage of that and enjoy your work!.

Article Marketing:

This method will require you to have some basic knowledge in the business first...

You can submit articles to Article Directories and you will have the opportunity to appear in the first page of Google searches. Why, you might be asking? Just because these Article Directories have a good Page Rank and a well researched keyword will allow you to get organic traffic into your website by appearing in the first page.

Before you start submitting any article, I would recommend that you learn the basics about Keywords and how to use them in Articles first. I won't point that here because it's not the aim of this guide. Just make a Google search and you will find a lot of information about this.

A key thing in this traffic source is to have a perfect grammar, show value using your personality, but write your articles properly because people are not attracted to poorly written articles. If you are not that good at writing, then it is a good opportunity to improve those skills for yourself. You will need them anyway because in this business you have to write a lot.

Guest Posts:

This traffic source is very powerful and will drive a huge amount of visitors to your webpages, but you will have to invest time researching Blogs related to your niche.

The idea here is to create a nice and unique article, that you will send to a high populated blog related to your niche. There are plenty of blogs that accept Guest Posts, but each of them have their rules that you must follow, else they will reject your article...

Some of these rules are listed below:

1) Your article needs to be unique. This article has to be made only for this guest post and you can't use it anywhere else. Duplicated Content is forbidden among bloggers.

2) No affiliate links are allowed within your article content. You can't promote/sell a particular product with a guest post. But you CAN place a link to your Squeeze Page or Blog, so you will be able to drive the visitors into your website.

3) Good grammar and perfect orthography. This is a must, same as Article Marketing you must write properly.

The idea behind a Guest Post is to get right to your fellow blogger's audience... so it's a win-win situation, he will have a high quality article to post in his Blog, and you will promote your business right to his visitors.

If you want to find Blogs that allow people to guest post, go to Google and make a search with the following line:

"guest post by"
