Thanks for the tips! It can be quite challenging sometimes to drive traffic to your sites due to competition and limited resources. So it helps to see blog post about this, because it gives new insights to other internet marketers out there. Specially the ones that are just starting out..
Organic Traffic is what I am hoping for. That is what I heard is where you get the big amouns of traffic. But if one thing that I learned right away is that you need to be patient. With this kind of business and the large number of people doing it, it can take days or weeks for things to happen. I have been trying things for about 2 months and I am still not getting the results I was hoping for in the beginning. But I am not going to quit, I am determined to keep going.
I think even now many people understimate the power of articles. Some people are saying they are even dead. Nonsense, I have been using them for the last 7 years and they work insanely well.
my blog need more visitor..! i’m newbie in seo. last 2 years made 5 blog but no one is popular..!
I’ve just stumbled across your website and you’ve took the words right out of my mouth. I’ve been thinking about most of these things the past few days. Time to put ‘em into practise! Now to have a look at the Blog and Ping course.
I agree with what this article has to say. social bookmarking and other sneaky stuff to get traffic don’t seems to work anymore. Let’s do it the old school way, optimized web, better content, great looks = more traffic
Great ideas as always. I think optimizing is vital right now, especially since the recent Google algorithm change. But the other ideas are good too. One way to get into video marketing for example is to make powerpoints, and either upload to a powerpoint to video conversion site, or use a camtasia trial. It can make quick but decent videos to use on site, and for video distribution.
As marketers we must stay abreast of the latest techniques and strategies. I certainly saw some of my rankings change after the latest algorithm change. Thanks, for the great insight and advice.
I like the article. I think a lot of people out there want to know tips on marketing their web sites. Thanks.
