By Karie Ogletree


Ordinarily, the last thing people think about when putting up an online business is how to start getting traffic to their websites. Without a consistent stream of people to your site, you will never generate sufficient amounts of money or even any money. Getting traffic to your sites isn't that hard once you have the right information. In this article, we will cover several traffic driving techniques.

Traffic exchanges are one type of no-cost traffic that many people think are useless. Of course, the people who are claiming that traffic exchanges are not effective are the ones who never used them correctly in the first place. If you use them incorrectly, yes they are useless. Trying to sell something in traffic exchanges is a terrible waste of time, if you have been using traffic exchanges to sell something, that is your first mistake. Rather, what you must be doing is using these traffic exchanges to start developing your own list and to build your downlines in other no-fee traffic programs. But they are a terrible way to try and earn money directly. The people that decide to use traffic exchanges are there to try and get free traffic to their web site, they are not there to buy your product. Offer individuals other free traffic schemes. The people there will probably join another free program as opposed to buying a product.

Traffic exchanges actually are a great way to start developing your own list. If you have a webpage offering a free e-book on how to get more traffic and add an opt in box so they have to enter their email to receive this e-book, people will sign up. This way you're building your own list, which is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to any web site or affiliate link.

Now, on to traffic coming from search engines. When somebody does a search in the search engines and your website comes up it is the most targeted traffic you can get. Backlink building will be the crucial key for receiving top search engine ranking and thus traffic from the search engines. The major search engines consider backlinks as votes for your site. Thus, more backlinks means more votes, and more votes gives you a higher position on the search results.

There are several ways to build backlinks for your web site. Submitting to directories is only one way you can get started building links. There are thousands of web site directories online that will allow you to submit your site gratis. This is great for people who don't have a lot of money, but this can also be time consuming.

Also, you can turn to blogs and forums to get started building backlinks, merely leave a comment and leave your link. I am sure you have heard that these sorts of links don't hold the power of other links but it is a good no-cost way to build them.

And lastly and one of the greatest ways to obtain backlinks is buy using article marketing. This is where you create articles about the subject of your site and leave a link pointing back to your website either in the article or in the article resource box.

These are only some means to start generating traffic. If you desire to achieve online success, you need to have traffic, without it you will not reach your goals.
