Stuck in Traffic Part 2
By
Hello! It’s been a three day weekend for me but its slowly coming to an end. I had a chance to unwind and catch up over the past weeks. I can finally finish up the post on traffic and what I have been doing to increase traffic for my site. By the way, have you set up your blog yet? If you haven’t, you need to get a blog up now!!! Let the world know you exist and get your name out there. This is the first step. You can find out how to set up a blog by getting the free report located here . Once your blog is established then you are ready to use the following methods to generate traffic.
• Blog hopping- In this method , you’ll visit various blogs within your niche and leave comments. How will this work? When you leave comments, you can leave your name and blog address and people who read the comments will more than likely click on your name and will be redirected to your site. Trust me… it works! Use the most well known Internet marketing blogs so you can get some of their overflow of traffic.
• Social Media- Do you have a Twitter or Facebook page? You need to get one! Facebook and Twitter are easy ways to generate traffic. You can even install a plugin on your blog which goes directly to these social media outlets once you post.
• Forums- Visit internet marketing forums and help others out with questions or issues they may be having with their blogs, programs, etc. One of the forums I use is warrior forum.
• Press release- I learned about this one from Alex Jeffreys training class! Did you know you can write your own press release? I did one for toxic beauty. This is my girlfriend’s site and she’ll be appearing on blogtalk radio on February 23rd at 3:00 pm, est. I really want to thank Alex for this tip as I had no idea on doing a press release. If you don’t know how to write one, just google it and find a template… very easy to do. I caution you on press releases, they must be newsworthy! Only do a press release when you have created a product and you are launching it or if there is some groundbreaking news about your site, product, etc. you want to relay. What are some methods you have used to increase traffic?

Hey Darren,
Some good traffic driving tactics here. Which have you enjoyed the most success with so far?
When looking for blogs to comment on; one’s with the comment love plugin installed help to create an extra chance that the visitor will hop over to your site. I’ve noticed my comments increase since I installed it.
What do you think about using twitter traffic? Many marketers are dropping it and saying that ‘Twitter is dead!’ but I still think it has it’s place, the thing is now its a move from quantity to quality.
Like your blog.

Rob… I have been using twitter some, not a whole lot. I have also installed the comment love plugin. I find it makes it easier for people to see what you are writing and if they have an interest in it they can go straight to your blog. Glad you stopped by!!!
