27 Ways To Increase Targeted Traffic To Your Website
When I first started documenting the methods I used for my initial authority site case study I needed to figure out exactly how I could drive traffic to my site. So, I sat down and listed all of the methods I have used (and currently use) to drive traffic to my website. So, here’s a list of how you can increase targeted traffic to your website:
Article Submission
- Article Directories
- Article Trading
- Trade your articles directly with other webmasters / friends (be sure to include your resource box)
- Article Giveaway (to relevant sites)
- Give away your unique articles to top sites in your niche (be sure to include your resource box)
Blogging
- Create own network of “feeder” blogs (using free or your own hosted blogs)
- Blog Traffic Services (purchase rights to post snippets in blog posts with anchor text links to your page)
- Blog Comments (quality comments in relevant blogs – many blogs have nofollow)
Classifieds
- Craigslist (short-term strategy)
- US Free Ads (short-term strategy)
- eBay (short-term strategy)
Linking
- Reciprocal Links with Relevant Sites (trade links one for one with webmasters)
- Three Way Links (do a three way link exchange with webmasters who own multiple websites)
- Link Exchange Services (such as Link Vault or Link Metro)
- Purchase Links (from webmasters or a link broker)
Lists
- Co-Registration Lists
- Joint Venture (other marketer’s email lists)
- Opt-in List (requires you to build your own list first…)
- Safe Lists
Advertising
- Ezine Advertising (advertise in various newsletters)
- Pay-Per-Click (such as Google, YPN, MSN Adcenter etc.)
- Offline Advertising (flyers, direct mail etc.)
Press Releases
- PRWeb (paid service with large distribution)
- Free PR Services
Social Media
- Social Bookmarking
- Social Multi-Media Networks
- Podcasts (publish your own podcasts)
- YouTube
- Google Video
- Social Networks
- Social Voting
- Other
- Forums
- RSS Feeds
- Yahoo Answers
- Wikipedia (if you have an authority site on a subject, list your link as a resource)
Obviously I have only listed a few of the article directories, social media networks and such. I will try to list a more comprehensive list of the ones I use in a later post.

How does creating a network of blogs get traffic to your site?

Hi Paul,
The short answer: by creating “feeder blogs” that target specific long tail keyword phrases.
Just point a couple of links to the blog (posts) and you will get Search Engine traffic.
