Get Targeted Traffic To Your Health Website
There are a lot of methods floating around the Internet these days to supposedly help you generate web traffic. They range from the truly ridiculous, to systems that actually work.
I’ve run several web businesses full time for over five years now. I’ve tried just about every traffic generating method out there. Let me save you some time and tell you what doesn’t work. At least it didn’t for me.
Tactics That Don’t Work:
Free for all web directories: Don’t waste your time. Everyone in only interested in promoting their own offer. They aren’t there to look at yours. The webmaster usually set up such a website for the sole purpose of sending ads to everyone who submits an ad or website to their directory. The ad comes in the acceptance email. No one probably reads those either.
Mass Spam Email: Don’t even think about. It’s a real fast way to get yourself in big trouble with your web host and your Internet Service Provider. Also, who would buy from someone sending them junk email. People hate to get spam email. Plus, now with so many spam filters out there, most of your emails will just end up in the trash folder, never to be seen or read.
Junky Webpage Builders. You can’t create a good website with a push button website builder. It’s just not going to happen. You’re actually going to have to put some thought and time into it. Making money online is a business. Treat it as one.
Buying A Magic Money Making System. Money doesn’t just fall from the sky. It’s not as easy as some people pretend it is. Don’t buy every money making system that hits the market.
Worthwhile Tactics:
Pay By The Click: This method does work. The biggest drawback is the expense. Many people that are just starting out should probably try less expensive methods first. Who wants to spend $200 to make $50?
Posting To Social Websites: This can work but takes a lot of time. You have to sign up for each social network and then be a regular contributor. Don’t just spam your offer all over these sites. It’ll just get your account deleted and mark you as a spammer.
If you would like to try a social network, Squiddo or Hubpages work well. These are high traffic websites and you may pick up some extra visitors. Don’t just slap up any junk though. Spend some time and make a good page.
My Favorite Method Of Getting Backlinks and Traffic:
Submitting Articles: This is my favorite traffic generating method. You not only get direct traffic from the article directories, but you also get a lot of highly targeted one-way backlinks.
Write a quality article. Don’t just spin some PLR articles with a one click spinner. You’ll just get junk. You want to have a good article or the directories won’t publish it. Take your article and submit it to the top 10 article websites. Write another article and repeat.
Besides submitting the big article directories, you should also try to find niche article directories related to your topic. The more targeted the publisher compared to your website, the better. If you run a health website, then submit to health article directories.
Write and submit at least one to three articles per week. This will pay off in the long run and get you lots of quality backlinks and traffic.
