9 Ways to Drive More Website Traffic


Building Back Links to Your Blog

1. Find forums (Big-boards.com)

Google likes relevancy, so post on forums / sites that are relevant to the content of your website.

Post helpful information and add value to these forums or your posts and signature links (which is where you will add your backlink/anchor text) may be deleted.

2. Find blogs (Commentkahuna.com)
Repeat as per (1)

3.Web Directories

See a list of web directories at SEOBook (seobook.com/archives/001583.shtml)

Find free directories and take the 5 mins required to add yourself on each.

4. Social Bookmarking

Go to Traffikd for a list of social bookmarking sites (traffikd.com/social-media-websites)

You want your site on each of these bookmarking services. Because of the trickle-down effect, people who like you will bookmark you and the more people that bookmark you the more Google takes notice… and the more Google takes notice the higher they will rank you.

OnlyWire (Onlywire.com) will speed up the social bookmarking process above.

5. EzineArticles (Ezinearticles.com)

Google loves EzineArticles. It has a very high page rank which is exactly what you want.

Write a relevant article, including the keyword phrase you want to rank for in the title and at least four times within the article body as this will increase the chance of your article ranking in the top 10 of Google as well as providing a valuable backlink to your website.

Use the bio box to create keyword phrase anchor text that links to your website.

6. Yahoo Answers (answers.yahoo.com)

Set up an account for yourself and answer 2-3 posts in the niche before adding backlinks (otherwise Yahoo might see it as spam and ban you)

If there are no questions to answer, consider asking people you know to post questions for you to answer.

7. EDU Links

Google really loves .EDU / .GOV links.

Many college students receive webspace which can provide pages & links to your site.

Find a college student via friends and family, etc. to place a page for you on a .edu site

8. LinkedIn (Linkedin.com)

A high page rank site (that employs Do Follow links) where you can add your links.

Set up a profile and list your sites with anchor text.

9. Flickr (Flickr.com)

A high page rank site with ‘Do Follow’ links
