150+ Traffic Sources for Your Blog or Website
Traffic Sources for Your Blog |
To make a Blogger is not a Great task.But to get traffic for blogger .I think this is really big task but not possible So If you want to get
free traffic for your Blog or Website.So Let me explain. The whole “getting
traffic” issue is one which can be approached from many different angles. The
possibilities are countless. You can get traffic from so many different places
and by utilizing so many different practices that it’s more than easy to
overlook something.
That’s why I’ve created this leviathan. I wanted to come up with a
list containing all the practices and traffic sources I can think of.
But it’s still me, so even though I’m the author I still find this
list impossible to go through for a normal human. That’s why I don’t expect you
to read all of it. Just find a portion that interests you and use
it as a reference file.
So-called free traffic
…cause it’s nowhere near free.
1. Search engines – SEO
SEO is probably one of the biggest things you can practice in
order to get some traffic. Top ranking for a good, competitive keyword can mean
the world to your blog or website.
2. Email marketing
Fancy name, but what it really means is sending emails to a list
of people and leading them back to your blog. If you haven’t started to build
your email list yet, it’s about time.
3. Co-registration traffic
This one’s usually not free, but it’s a part of email marketing,
so I thought I might as well place it here. The basic idea is this: You find
someone who already has an email list and try to convince them to place an
additional form somewhere in their sign-up funnel.
This form/field/checkbox asks a new subscriber whether or not they
want to subscribe to your list too. Something along the lines: “Hey. You might
also consider subscribing to Karol’s list. He shares some interesting
information about internet marketing. Just tick the checkbox and you’re good to
go.”
In the end you get a new subscriber without any real effort on
your part.
Social media traffic

bookmarking services.
