Welcome,
Over the past five years I have learnt many tricks to gain visitors.
Many are great and some are negative, even getting me excluded from major search
engines. For your benefit I have comprised a list of six free, easy and simple
ways that may double or even triple your visitor count within Three Months.
1: Get listed in free directories:
Dmoz.com (Open Directory Project) is one of the top places to get listed, if
you get your site listed. Up to 20 other websites copy their directory, you
now have the opportunity to have your link on many more websites.
2: Find out your competitors link popularity:
Do a simple search on google and find out who your competitors are. Then go
to linkpopularity.com and try to get your website included on many of the sites
you find.
3: Find quality and reliable links:
I have found that less than 1/10th of my visitors come from search engines.
Quality links are the key; websites with a large volume of customers are often
your best ally. Related websites to your own site is generally best, this is
often said for a better search engine ranking, but I advise related sites purely
for a targeted audience.
4: Find out where your competitors visitors go:
Alexa.com is a brilliant website, when you find your major competitors you
can search their domain on Alexa.com. You can find out a lot of information
about their visitors, where they come from, how many visit and best of all what
other sites they visit that are related to your competitors.
5: Get yourself a signature:
Many people ignore the idea of a signature in their email, this can often be
a great idea. People will see this link can often visit, you may not agree but
one more visitor is better than none.
6: Setup an affiliate program:
Currently I am in the process of getting my own affiliate program custom built.
There are many major reasons for getting your own affiliate program. The most
important reason is, allowing other websites advertise your products for you.
This has to be a brilliant idea, even though you are paying them you are only
paying them from sales that they have helped generate, otherwise you would not
have had these sales.
I do not recommend working too hard at trying to impress google, my main website
only has a medium PR of 5. I have not optimised this site for google nor do
I intend to. I have had many issues with google and they will find any excuse
to exclude anyone from their index. Google make their own rules, you cannot
defend yourself. Even so I still recommend submitting your website to the major
search engines, do be careful to do so only once.
Good luck with improving your visitor base, I cannot guarantee these techniques
will improve your traffic. Although I have tripled my visitor count in three
months, I am very happy with my results. Even within the past week my site is
receiving an average of 10 customers more per day, without any extra work.
