How To Increase Website Traffic And Search Engine Rankings!

Links in All Forms

Links are the only way to navigate to a site or webpage. No matter where the traffic comes from, the end user has to follow a link to any page on the net. There are three different types of links. We have reciprocal links or link trading, we have one-way links, and we have redirect links.
I will not be discussing redirect links, simply because they are of no benefit to anyone that doesn't have hundreds of thousands of these non-SE friendly links. When reffering to link campaigns below that require registration, blogs and forums, for example! Do not forget to add your site link in your signature using your top keywords as your anchor text.

* Articles * RSS Feeds *

Submitting to article directories is the best way to promote your site. Why? You can literally achieve top rankings while, acquiring highly targeted traffic. Search Engines give more precedence to these type of links. What type of links? High quality, preferably unique, content pages with few links is the ultimate of backlinks, according to most SE's algorithms. Articles are just that! High quality unique content pages with very few related links. Most article directories have rss feeds that promote you articles to webmasters.

* Blogs *

Submitting to relevant blogs can have the same effect as an article campaign, except you will recieve more traffic from these links. You will recieve more traffic because blogs have high amounts of targeted traffic.

Most traffic from your article campaign will come from the SERP's (Search Engine Results Page). Blogs have members, in other words returning relevant visitors.

* Forums *

Posting on relevant forums can be a tremendous source of high quality traffic. Forums have huge amounts of traffic, including returning visitors. Forums will give you better exposure in the SERP's. Also, there has been studies I have conducted and used to conclude visitors from popular forums click the most, aside from SE traffic.

* Viral Traffic *

Some examples of things used for viral traffic are ebooks, audio, video, software, etc. It's not just digital products that can create viral traffic, For example! A webpage link in a relevant book that sold 5 million copies is offline viral marketing that is going to create online traffic. This form of traffic grows exponentially with very little effort. Just add your link to a free/paid product and distribute at least a 1000 and this will grow two a million visitors in as little as 3 months!

If you have any knowledge of internet marketing. You'll notice that I didn't mention traffic exchanges, web directories, ffa sites, classified ads, and newsgroups. These methods of marketing, in large campaigns, will provide you with traffic, but won't increase your rankings. Every method I stressed will provide you with highly targeted traffic while providing high quality backlinks for your search engine rankings!

Tip: Don't Ever Stop These Campaigns, Even After Achieving Top Rankings!
