Every web publisher needs traffic to their web site, but how do you get a regular increase of traffic every month?

How do you even get traffic started coming to your site?

Blogs automatically get traffic coming as soon as you make your first post. With a good ping list, each time you make a post to your blog dozens of sites are advised and traffic starts coming in. Therefore the first step in getting traffic to your blog is to post regularly. Posting once or twice a day is fantastic.

Article Syndication:  Writing articles and syndicating them to article directories is a effective method to grow your traffic. Try to write at least one article a week (or have a unique article written for you), post it to your site, wait a week for the search engines to index it, and then submit it to article directories. For a nominal fee SubmitYourArticle.com will submit it to 100s of article directories, saving you a lot of time and effort.

Social Bookmarking:  Social bookmarking is another very potent tool. It takes less than a minute to submit your article to OnlyWire.com. Once submitted they take it and submit it to about fifteen other social bookmarking sites.

Imagine if you bookmarked one article a day and submitted each to fifteen social bookmarking sites for one year. That would add up to over 15,000 backlinks for your one site! Incredible! But there’s even more you can do.

Pay Pay Click and More:  Pay per click, email marketing, viral marketing, and commenting in forums are all great ways to get more traffic. For instance, Answers.Yahoo.com is a site where people post questions and wait for an answer.

For instance, if you have a site about tropical fish and someone asks about what to feed theirs, you can post an answer and include your URL in the signature. As people read the question and your answer, some will click on your URL to see what else you might say about taking care of fish.

Tracking and Statistics:  Track the visitors to your site by using tools such as MyBlogLong.com, Google Analytics, and the tracking tools found in your site’s cpanel under Stats. Google Analytics takes a minute to set up and gives you vital information to help you focus on what your visitors want.

By looking at your stats a couple of minutes a week you can see what articles are hot, what topics are most popular, how long visitors are staying at your site, and what links they click on to leave it. You can use this data to make changes to your site, step-up the number of posts you make on popular topics, and anything else that will encourage people to stay longer and to return.

It’s not difficult to get traffic to a site if you take action and create a promotion schedule. Allow some time each day to write an article or to post to your blog, submit it to the social bookmarking sites, and submit your articles to article directories. Follow these basic tips and traffic to your site should increase significantly every month.
