You have built a great website and have a lot of affiliates but you just don’t have enough traffic…not NEAR enough traffic…on your site. What can you to do increase the traffic…the TARGETED traffic? Actually, there are several things that you can do that will help.

1.    SEO (Search Engine Optimization) should be your goal! The main source of traffic to any website is the search engines. The most used search engines are Google, followed by MSN and Yahoo. You must optimize your site for the search engines. This includes off/site links and on/site tactics.
 

2.     Article marketing is one of the most effective ways to get targeted visitors to your site. Getting your articles published in ezines and on selected and related sites will generate an enormous amount of traffic to your site. The trick is to write helpful how-to articles on current topics that other webmasters want on their sites. This will boost your link popularity with the search engines and increase your rankings. You must also very carefully choose the right keywords to target in your articles, matching the content on your site. You must target keywords that have high traffic, yet little competition from competing web sites.
 

3.    Viral marketing techniques work. One viral technique to attract targeted visitors is to offer a free product or service. Choose products that can be branded with your links and passed around. Helpful software programs that match the theme of your site are good choices to make.
 

4.    Blogs and RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds are another way to effectively increase targeted traffic to your website. Create simple blogs and feeds for the major topics of your site: on rss resources, web hosting solutions, notebook computers, etc. These blogs and feeds bring in a great number of targeted visitors.
