Boost Your Traffic


.
Boost Your Traffic It goes without saying that one of the most crucial elements to your success online is the ability to get traffic to your website. This is in fact one of the most daunting tasks. Many people, about a decade ago, believed in a build it and they will come philosophy. Many tears later we all realized this is not true. We must find a way to attract attention to ourselves. You must have compelling copy when they get there, but no matter how great the sales copy is it does not matter if no one ever sees it. So how do you get the eyeballs there? There are many methods to getting attention to your site. In fact, there are thousands of books written on this subject all around the internet, dating back more than ten years to the recent guru discoveries. Everyone and their dog (if he writes much) have written about the subject. Many want your money but I would like to just give some free advice, based on my research and my own successes, on free methods to boost your traffic. One way that you can boost your traffic for free is to add a signature file to your email address. If you post in forums or message boards on a related topic, and if it is not against the rules you may want to add it there as well. This signature file should include your name, a very brief but enticing line about your opportunity or website and a link to it. As you email your friends and family, who most likely trust you, they may visit your site. In the forums if your one line ad is good enough some will likely click as well. You can send an email to everyone you have a right to email, anyone who would not be spammed by the effort, and announce your new site. You may ask your friends and family if they know people who want to see your site. The signature is one small step in getting the ball rolling. Some examples of a good signature are:

John Smith, Author of Children's Behavioral Newsletter Kids misbehaving? See if this helps http://www.thekidshelpsite.com

(above is not a real link just an example)

or

Mike Allen, Author of Affiliate News Tired of being Scammed? Get the Affiliate Report! http://thesite_whereyou_wantthem_togo.com

(Also not a real site ^)

As you can see a bit of general cleverness and ingenuity and you can begin to see some results. This is just one method of gaining more people to your site. Look for other articles on boosting your traffic in the future. It may go without saying but you want to use your real link in your signature file not a fake one like in my examples. (I'm just saying.)
