The Easiest Way To Build Traffic To Your Web Site
October 27th, 2009 | by Conrad Walton |After you build your web site push it out there into the bright, shining world, you wait and wait, but the traffic doesn’t come. What should you do?
The easiest thing that you can do is to build inbound links to your site.
Volume. More is better.
There are hundreds of ways to accomplish this, but the easiest way is to leave comments on people’s blogs. Go do some searches for sites that are on a similar subject to your site and read what they say. If you notice something cool, leave a comment. It will (should) link back to your site.
People are wary of people spamming them, as they should be, so don’t do that. Don’t drop by and say “Nice post! Buy my stuff!”. That’s just rude.
I actually had an acquaintance leave me a comment on a post that I linked to on my Facebook page. They said “I didn’t read your post, but I was wondering if you would be interested in” buying some product they were selling. I was taken aback. Really? You’re not going to read my post, but you’re going to try to sell me something? Yeah. No. I don’t think so.
Leave a useful comment. One that relates to what the person was talking about. One that adds some information to the conversation. This is all about relating to people, making that connection. It’s not just links.
Links are the byproduct of the connection, so make lots of connections and you’ll get lots of links and links turn into traffic.
Forums are another solid place for this activity. Connect and link. Any place that people are talking, go talk there too.
Focus on the inbound links. That’s the bottom line for building traffic to your site.
