How to get instant traffic to our new website?

You just started your company and decided to market your products and services via your brand new website.

After launching your site, you wait anxiously for customers to walk into your store or office but days and months pass by without any leads from your website.

Checking out your site’s stats, you realize that there are only an average of 2 or 3 visitors to your site in a day and you begin to wonder, WHY?

This is a common scenario for most newly launched websites. The web traffic just won’t come to you instantly. You’ve got to work towards getting more visitors to your site. Photo by Foxtongue.

The following are a few ways for you get traffic to your site:

Purchase instant traffic

This is a very simple and straightforward way of getting instant traffic to your website. You can probably purchase 10,000 global visitors for around $7.50. However, these instant traffic are usually global, unfiltered, and untargeted.

For example if your website is about selling teddy bears, your website could appear to users who are currently interested in car related pages.

For these instant traffic to convert well, it really depends on who your target market is. If your products and services are suitable for worldwide customers and is appealing to all sorts of age groups, then these instant traffic may be right for you.

Write and publish articles on your site

Article writing is a great way to allow your potential clients to know and understand more about what your business has to offer.

For example, you own a hand-made teddy bear retail store. To promote your website, you can write articles on ways to keep your teddy bears clean or even an article about the latest teddy bear accessories.

With your very own unique and original article, search engines like Google would crawl and index your article and eventually allow your articles to be searchable by your potential clients.

To do: Write and publish articles on your site.

Forum posting

Forums allow people to start a particular topic and have others join in the discussion. Most would start a new forum thread by asking a question or even commenting on a particular topic.

For example, a potential customer is going to visit an Asian country very soon and she wonders where can she purchase hand-made teddy bears. She heads to a forum frequently visited by people from the particular country and asks a question there.

As a teddy bear store owner, you can reply to this person’s question and place a link to your website.

Just one thing about forum posting, you’ve got to do it carefully to ensure your forum replies do not sound too promotional or spammy, otherwise the entire thread or message could get deleted altogether.

To do: Search for “Your Keyword” + Forums in Google and begin participating in forums. For e.g. Teddy Bear + Forums

Blog commenting

These days there are blogs related to nearly every topic there is. Blog sites allow the blogger to publish new posts / article on a regular basis, just like this site – Wareprise.com, which is related to IT and software related topics. Most blogs allow their readers to comment on an article right at the bottom of the page. See an example by scrolling down all the way below.

So as a teddy bear web site owner, what you can do is to search for blogs which are related to teddy bears. Read what the blogger has to say and leave a comment on it.

If possible try to provide some valuable feedback on the post rather than something like, I really love what you write, please come to visit my teddy bear website at….

Do note that not all comments will be published because it usually goes through an approval process before a comment gets published on the post.

To do: Search for “Your Keyword” + Blogs in Google and begin blog commenting. For e.g. Teddy Bear + Blogs

Write articles for submission into articles directory

Writing articles for submission into articles directory works about the same as point number 2 above, but instead of publishing the article on your website, you submit it to articles directory.

Articles directory contains thousands of articles for other website owners to republish on their site.

What you need to do here is to write an article, let’s say something about how to design a teddy bear. In the article, you would place a link or two to your website.

Whenever someone republish your article on their site, their visitors would read your article and potentially go to your site for more info via the links you put in. Imagine if a hundred people republish your article, the sort of traffic that you can get will good.

Advertise your business via Google Adwords

Advertising is another way of getting traffic to your site, at a price! Did you know that if your site ranks high for certain keywords, there’s much opportunity in this? The challenge is to rank high on search engines for your keywords but it’s not that simple. For that to happen, there are a few criteria which must be fulfilled. Luckily there is an easy way to rank on the first page of Search Engines.

For example, you know that your teddy bear website will surely do very well if you rank well for the search term “Buy Teddy Bears Online“.

In order to get on the first page of Google for this search term, you can advertise with Google Adwords. Your link will appear on the sponsored links section which appears at the top and on the right side of the page.
