Five tips for increasing website traffic

There are lots of ways to get traffic to your website however most people are interested in getting the most traffic for the least amount of money, preferably for free.
While it's difficult to get anything for free nowadays there are still a few good ways to help build your web traffic and still pay nothing.
1. Build a second content-rich website.
Because content is king on the internet many have adopted the idea of building a content-rich site in addition to their original sales site.
If you set up your title, description and keyword tags carefully and find a good balance for your keyword saturation, you may be better able to achieve high search engine rankings with a site that contains only good content and information.
Once you have built your content-rich site you can then use the content to point your viewers to your sales site.

2. Add an article page to your existing site.
By adding article pages to your web site you can once again point your readers to your sales page.
For example, let's say you have a website that sells vitamins. Set up a few article pages that reference vitamins such as a page on the benefits of vitamins, how to take vitamins, the effects of vitamins, etc. Allow each of the articles to reference links to your sales page.
This can be a very effective sales tactic because you've attracted the attention of someone interested in your topic. If they read your article and like what they've read they're more apt to check out your links and you've increased your chances of making a sale.
Also, with proper meta tags and keyword usage, an article page is much more likely to make it to the top of a search engine listing than a sales page.
3. Submit your articles
Any articles that you write should be submitted to as many sites that accept articles as possible. This is important because sites that accept and include your articles in their article banks establish links for you and you are not obligated to reciprocate.
4. Build your links through reciprocal linking
By establishing reciprocal links you are verifying to the search engines that you have credibility. If high ranking sites link to your site then the search engines will find you worthy of high ranking as well.
Find sites that rank well and request a link exchange. This can be done manually or you can purchase linking programs that will automate this for you. Either way spend a few weeks focusing on creating quality links and you will soon see your link ratings go up as well.
5. Join and participate in online forums.
The internet is full of discussion forums that cover hundreds of business and non-business topics.
Find a forum in your topic and look over the discussions. Ask questions, contribute your expertise and get to know some of the forum members. This is an excellent opportunity for you to meet others and introduct your website. It also helps build trust while helping you learn how others have found success.

When I began my Internet Marketing career I always heard of all of the success people were having just by writing and submitting articles. I tried this out by writing and submitting an article every week or so with no major success. This led me to believe that article marketing was not a good way to promote my site. About six months later I continued to hear all of these claims of success with article marketing so I decided to go further into it.
I started writing an article every single day and submitting to EzineArticles.com and mass submitting to a distribution service. These articles were pointed to a brand new site that I had made for this experiment. I conducted a small link building campaign but nothing special in addition to the article campaign. It took about three days for the site to be indexed after only submitting three articles. After about three weeks I was receiving approximately thirty to fifty unique visitors a day. After about two months I was receiving over one hundred unique visitors a day.
This is a very simple technique that just about anyone can do. The problem with it is most people do not have the discipline to follow through and actually do it. Once you get used to writing an article a day it becomes automatic and not very time consuming.
Article marketing has proven to pay off for myself and many others but it is merely one proven method. You can be successful with this method alone but it is always good to combine article marketing, link building and quality content.
This is one of many techniques in which you can successfully gain unique visitors to your web site or blog. The main thing is to be consistent and never give up.
