If you have been following me on this blog you will realise that i have been sharing traffic generation strategies. I have decided to approach traffic generation from another angle, namely using the power of your post.
The IMPORTANT thing is to make sure your posts are useful and optimize for the right niche. Lets set the ball rolling.
1. Ping your site whenever you post new content. In most cases what you are required to do is to just fill your sites title, url and rss feed url and bingo! Your site is announced to search engines and various popular blog/site directories. All you have to do is to fill in the 3 info above into the right field on pinging sites you are using. Pingoat.com and pingomatic.com are good pinging sites that i recomend.
2. Share with your facebook and twitter friends. This will announce your post to your facebook and twitter friends and some of them will definetly check out your site. Thats traffic you know! Try it out today.
3. Use forums.
Now you probably are thinking of rules on forums that prohibit puting links directly in post or thread. The trick here is to write summary of your post and then put link to your site as the source of the main article. If the url is too long you can turn it to tinyurl at tinyurl.com
4. This next one is a popular one but you might not be using it yet or it might be that you are not consistent with its use. Optimised post will position your site for search engine traffic. If you use the right key words with the right density (2%-5%) your content might appear in the search engine results of major search engines. Density means how many times the keyword appears per hundred words, for instance, its 2% if it appear twice in each hundred words 3% if it appears e.t.c
5. Turn your post into pdf format and distribute it to scribd, 4shared with your sites link in the header and footer in the ebook. This is a very powerful technique that can make your site travel far and wide as this is a good example of viral marketing. Give away the ebook for free. You can even give the recipient the right to sell it or use it bonus to their package. As i said earlier, this method will increase the reach of your site.
