You have heard it said that on a web site "content is king". It works for people. Well written and frequently updated content will keep visitors on your web site for longer; it will bring them back to your site for more; it will also prompt them to spread the word about your site among their friends. It also works for major search engines. Relevant content rich in meaning is likely to get your web site ranked better. A painless and effective way to provide good content is an article directory.
There are many ways to get free web traffic, one of which is to post comments on blogs relevant to the subject your site covers. On most blogs there is a comment area which will normally have an option to allow posters to make their name link to a web site. This can be used to link back to any site you choose, including your own. If you run a site on stamp collecting, make up a relevant user name such as 'stamp collector dude' instead of your real name.
something else that you may want to think about is that a static site can grow old. The content on your site is designed to be read and remembered. After someone has read your site and the articles contained on it, they usually do not want to read it again, or have no need to. Because of this, a successful website should be frequently updated with unique content and newer articles. The readers who visit your site will check your website often for these updated articles and come back to read them over and over again. That is more traffic for your site!
Online networking is helpful. You should find and contact owners with sites that would attract your target audience. Ask them for a quote for an online article, or invite them for a guest appearance on your blog or to write an article for your site.
Site owners are often flattered to do this, and they may give you a link back from their site or even put you on their blog roll. They may want you to write an article or guest blogger post on their site, giving you even more exposure and free web traffic.
Never limit your online spectrum to only blogs or sites. Some of the most successful blogs have gotten their exposure in print media, such as a local newspaper or large magazines like Newsweek and Time. This recognition has led to vast amounts of hits. Even though they are an old form of media, many newspapers and magazines now have an online component.
Having your site mentioned in a large publication is probably the best way to increase web traffic. To make this happen you should determine the subjects which interest your readers, and find reporters who cover those subjects. Then you can send these reporters press releases. You can also send them letters telling them how much you enjoyed their articles and letting them know that you have a related site. It's possible that they will use quotes from your letters and website or even mention your site.
