At first the traffic was steadily increasing. Now I’m hardly getting any hits at all. I’ve tried submitting articles, sighned up to directories and search engines, put videos on youtube and have participated in places such as blogcatalog. Those that have seen my site and blog really liked it yet still I’m hardly getting any traffic? What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it ?

Wow! You’ve been busy!

You are definitely on the right track. Submitting articles, signing up for key directories and search engines, posting videos on YouTube and participating in blogging and social media are all great activities for increasing your traffic.

First of all, it’s important to understand that these strategies take some time. What you’re doing is building inbound links, which work because, when search engines find all these links to your site, they figure you must be important and rank you higher than other sites. When you think of it that way, it’s obvious that there’s going to be lag time between your link-building activities and the accompanying increase in traffic.

You should keep all this up and trust the process. Meanwhile, take a look at your content and make sure people won’t be disappointed by what they find. No amount of link building will save a site that is scattered, disorganized or hard to use.

Last, but not least, keep an eye on your web traffic. Oftentimes, you can mine your site stats to figure out what’s working and what isn’t. That should help you refine your strategy going forward.

Keep up the good work, and good luck!

But I can’t seem to get any traffic to it, or no one is signing up for the free social networking site I am promoting. It doesn’t make any sense. Even my own family and friends won’t sign up. What am I doing wrong?

It took Facebook and other big social networking sites years to obtain the popularity it enjoys now. Not only that, as there was so many social networking sites, only few we have heard of due to their superiority. If you want your website to thrive in the highly competitive medium, you need to start offering new features, that no one else is offering, you need to start by marketing your website as a local social networking site, maybe in your state or in your country. For example many might use your website instead of facebook, if they wanted to interact with people in their region only instead of the vast number of people on already established social networking sites.

However, if you are trying to to get traffic to your website through search engines, you need to optimize your website to obtain higher ranking in search engines, here are some good ideas to help you do so:

1st try to get more back links to your website and the easiest way to do thats is by submitting your website to free web directories such as:

http://www.lii.org
http://www.dmoz.org
http://www.surformation.com

Backlinks provide higher ranking in search engine, but most importantly, links drive direct traffic to your website when visitors clicks on your links.

2nd Try promoting your website on social networking and internet communities such as

http://www.twitter.com,
http://www.digg.com,
http://www.stumbleupon.com

This is where web surfers are spending a big deal of their time, so have your share of visitors.

3rd and most importantly, provide quality content, this is an indirect way to get back links by genuinely driving people to link to your website.

4th make sure that your meta tags ( web page titles and description) match the content of your pages, this is a huge part of search engine optimization and drives traffic from search engine to your website

Hi Sam
Here are my "Top 7 Traffic/Advertising Or BLOG Visitors Generating Tips"

1)Viral Pictures
Viral is closely connected with something that may spread easily.So i suggest you to create a viral picture which is closely connected with your products and spread it.
Everyone likes funny pictures and they don’t mind sharing it with others.It’s viral.So, If you’re selling a health product, then you may create a funny picture about it and put your website’s name on it.
Next, just forward it to as many contacts as possible using e-mails. Whether it’s a 12 years old kid or 21 years old adult.They would just love and share it with others. Can you see how easy it is?

2)Viral Videos
Videos are the most famous entertainment on the Internet.People would just love it dues to it’s effectivenes in spreading the message. So i suggest you to create viral videos about your product and again put your link in it.
If you got 3 minutes video, then make sure your website’s link is visible throughout the whole 3 minutes.If you don’t have the neccessary tools to create a video, then you can simply collect 5-10 viral pictures and then convert it into video using Windows Movie Maker.
Then just upload it to You Tube or Google Videos. Now using bluetooth everyone is exchanging videos from their mobiles or computers. If your video is viral enough to attract others, it will easily spread to others.

3)Yahoo Answers
I probably won’t be answering your question if i don’t know the answer. And i won’t suggest you any websites link if i think that it’s not going to help you.
So simply answer any questions that you’re knowleadgeable(your niche market) at and put a link to your websites as extra source for others.
If your answer is good and solved the questions, people would also expect for more tips and suggestion from you.If you suggested any website links, there are high chances for anyone to visit it.

4)Forum Marketing
Forum Marketing works just like Yahoo Answers. They would be a lot of tips and questions exchanged in any forums.
So start getting active and contribute to any forum members and they will appreciate your expertise and start visiting your websites fo more up-to-date tips.

With ever changing search engines preference, one cannot be sure of immediate web traffic.
I appreciate the work of very enterprising individuals who have gone a long way in discovering some of the web untapped traffic sources. Like what I found out on the website http://bit.ly/Nogoogletraffic it is some of the discoveries of untapped traffic sources
Rapid mass traffic is not possible in major search engines, as it takes time for them to crawl websites and even if they do they must find quality content to direct visitors to.
I will recommend to you you visit above site and review the system of untapped traffic sources.

I need your ideas & it will help me to promote my web site.

Are you sure that’s what you want?

Traffic alone will do no good for most websites, they will just eat up your bandwidth and leave.

What most websites need is people willing to take action, not traffic.

Let me know if that’s what you want and I’ll share my secret.

I’m happy to say that I’ve taken about a year and joined some exchanges, met people, made some friends in the industry, and talked with owners because this is something that I want to do sometime next year.

First what these other people who have answered don’t realize is that you need a really good web host. Shared hosting companies will not work because once your exchange takes off and puts a heavy load on their servers, you’ll need a dedicated server or a hosting company that specializes in traffic exchanges. One such company that comes to mind is Zoot Host. http://www.zoothost.com/

Second, if you’re not an artist you’ll have to find a good graphics designer to design your site layout. A good friend of mine is the artist at http://banner-power.com/ She designs entire site / traffic exchange layouts and this is who I will be using someday.

Lastly, you need a good script for your traffic exchange. Most of these are database driven (you can learn it). You purchase the script from a programming company and then upload it to your web host and configure your database. Once installed you have an administrator login and the people who join have user logins. One of the best scripts in the industry for a manual exchange is by a company called Ventrino-Walker. http://www.ventrino.com/

I have a friend who sells exchanges with the hosting, Ventrino script installed, and graphics. He will do as little or as much as you want. Even offers yearly payment plan via Paypal. Just e-mail me through my profile if you want to get in touch with him.

For me, I’m going to try it on my own first and see where it takes me. I hope this post helps. This is based on my experience and my plan on what I will do next year. Look at my links here below. I was even fortunate to get admin rights or partnerships with some of these exchange owners on their exchanges before I am going to run my own. Great OJT training if you ask me.

Anyone know of a good site that does this?

I use a product called Copernic Agent Professional to custom design search parameters that will list websites of different categories so you can see which ones are ranking highest and also use Google Page Rank to get a good idea of the websites success/traffic with just a glance.
