Site Traffic

Traffic Tip — Use Comments to Increase Traffic

Getting traffic to your site is the “sine qua non” of making money online. Here is a simple tip to help you get more traffic.

  • Go to the Technorati Top Blogs
  • Check out those blogs and make relevant, non-spammy comments
  • Find a way to link back to your site (many let you post your name/website)

I would suggest you only start doing this once your site has compelling content.

Increasing Traffic

I think it’s safe to say that waiting for Google to rank your site well to get traffic is an unpleasant experience. While Google is the biggest dog in the search engine yard currently, there are other creative ways to get traffic to your site.

A recent example of traffic creativity comes from a guy named “Calguy” on Digital Point. He recently started a site called CelebSlam which is getting over 3000 uniques a day.

His secret?

  1. Post useful comments on high traffic sites/blogs in a similar genre
  2. Submit your articles to Digg, Fark, etc.

Do Article Submissions Work?

It’s a question I have asked myself many times: “Do article submissions really work?” On Digital Point Forums “ltcobretti” is trying an experiment to prove if he can get many links to his site and increased (and hopefully profitable) traffic.

Thread here.

Blog covering his experiment here.

I’ll be following this with interest and if successful, I’ll need to start writing my own articles!
