This is a guide to help you get motivated and get a lot of traffic to your website. In this article I'm going to share with you tried and tested methods, these are methods I have used myself to get a lot of leads. You have to believe in yourself, set your goals high and then do it.
1. You must write high quality original content, for long term search engine (Google and Yahoo) free traffic. Your content needs to be Keyword rich and enlightening, make it search engine and human friendly. If you provide positive content that people talk about, you are guaranteed a lot of traffic; Google follows people.
2. Create a memorable domain name, the search engines don't have a problem with dashes, but for humans it can be a big problem to remember a domain with a lot of dashes. And remember to use your main keywords in the domain name.
3. Don't be product driven, you must be market driven. Do your market research to find out what your market is looking/searching for. Use the Google Keyword Tool External to do your research. You can also use paid keyword tool software such as Keyword Elite.
4. Visit sites such as Google Trends, Yahoo Buzz and 43 Things to find hungry markets. Also check out Semrush dot com to spy your competitors. You can write blog posts for bloggers who are lazy to update their blogs in exchange for putting a link to your site at the end of the post. To find blogs, you just go to Google and time in "YOUR KEYWORD + BLOG", look for blogs that are not frequently updated and contact the owner.
5. Comment on blogs in your market. When you comment on a blog, make sure that you provide value and don't spam. You can even join a forum and comment on forum members' questions and post your own questions. If the forum allows you to post ads, then do so and if not use the signature to drive traffic to your website.
6. Start a newsletter or give out a free valuable gift. Visit PLR sites if you don't have anything valuable to give away to your visitors. Make sure they get the gift in exchange for their email address.
Use social bookmarking sites, and always ping your RSS Feed for your bookmarks, this will help you rank high and fast in search engines. You must also use social media to become an expert in your market, what I mean is that people in social media sites should come to you if they have any questions about your niche.
