Before we begin the article. I just want to let you know about an excellent book I finished reading the other day. It’s completely free & I guarantee you will get more targeted traffic to your website because of it. Check it out here: http://www.markflavin.com/recommends/MichaelCheneyTrafficVideos
Here’s the article:
Rather than giving you a single way to drive traffic to your websites, I’m going to give you a rundown of several of the easiest and most important tips for generating traffic – and allow you to try them all out yourself to determine what will work best with your given setup.
Traffic Generation Tip #1: Pick The Low Hanging Fruit Using SEO
Building natural search engine traffic for “low hanging fruit” is akin to building an asset. You are simply creating pages that have little competition, which upon being indexed, will immediately take the first, second, or third slot for their given keyword.
Traffic Generation Tip #2: Use Viral Promotion
At least once every two months, creating some type of viral product to generate more traffic for your site. This can be a piece of software, a PDF, an audio recording, a video, or an ebook. Whatever you select, make sure you make people want to distribute it for free – and make sure it has built in ways to bring people back to your site.
Traffic Generation Tip #3: Consider Legitimate Link Exchanges
Link exchanges only work if you do them with sites that get a lot of traffic and have high PR – and if you exchange them in places where people might actually click. Keep in mind that the traffic leaving your site probably would have left, anyway, but the traffic you gained wouldn’t have arrived any other way.
Traffic Generation Tip #4: Use Joint Ventures and Affiliate Programs
A joint venture partner or super affiliate can generate a veritable avalanche of traffic faster than any pay per click campaign, natural search engine traffic, or link exchange. So spend the time to find the right partners at the right times – and engage them personally.
Traffic Generation Tip #5: Always Recycle Traffic
Recycling traffic ensures that your traffic increases each month, even if your natural search traffic remains the same – or even decreases slightly. Find ways to recycle your traffic into regular visitors and you will increase your revenue each month.
And there you have it: five simple tips you can use to generate traffic to your site without too much additional work.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all your insights and tips when it comes to net marketing. I consider myself fairly new to the internet experience and I’m trying very hard to understand the whole concept. I have been reading a lot of e-books on strategy and promotions but none of them seem to be using the English language, I must have missed the boat when the net language came out.
Your views and comments and very much APPRECIATED.
Very useful tips. I know already about the first tip i haven’t come around to using the rest. The hardest one may be using a viral product. Care to talk a little more about that?
thanks for the helpfull information i can always use it. my site just went live today. information like yours is how got up and running. keep up the posts.
Very good comments, Mark. The viral marketing thing I already knew about, but I never knew audio could be viral, especially since the YouTube age has overshadowed any audio endeavours done by anyone.
And just to add a tip…myspace groups are a great source for traffic. Find groups related to your niche, add the friends, and market to them with your blog. Also, their classifieds section is a good tool, too, if you want some free traffic.
Mark, keep up the good work. I’ll always have my ear open, especially since Unorthodox Traffic opened up my eyes to some new traffic generation tactics!
This is a fantastic blog! What an article…
