20 More simple ways to increase your traffic

A while ago I did a post on how to increase traffic to your blog. Well here are 20 more tried and true methods to get you more traffic on your website.

Optimize the titles of your pages for keywords people will search for.
Send articles to ezine publishers with a link back to your website.
Have a link to your site on community sites like MySpace and FaceBook.
Create a freebie product to give away (ebook, software, whitepaper etc.).
Submit your site to the hundreds of free directories - use the viles-silencer list.
Do a group feature where you get other website owners in your niche to participate - maybe asking them all an opinion on something.
Hold a competition for the Top 50 in your niche - 1 month later post the results and let everyone know who featured - watch them link back to say what there position was.
Pass out business cards when you go to industry events in your niche.
If you have a product start an affiliate program and start approaching affiliates.
Submit videos to video sharing sites like YouTube and Metacafe. Include a link in the description and within the actual video.
If you have a product send it to website owners to get reviewed.
Look at a big website within your niche and ask to write some guest posts for them.
Place classified Ads on eBay with a link to your website.
Use an autoresponder on your mailing list to keep people coming back to your site.
Network! Email other site owners, phone them up, go to industry events and get yourself known. If they know your face they will likely talk about you on their site if you do something interesting.
Many forums have a place for you to advertise your site once - find them and do it.
Create an Amazon profile and start submitting reviews.
Conduct a survey and publish the results - make sure you let people know about it.
Get your hand on a load of PLR content for your niche. Add a commentary to the top, create a unique title, and post them all to your site - lots of new content and lots of new traffic.
Create a cartoon mascot for your site - then hold a competition for someone to create the best game for it - pay the winner a decent amount.
Make sure you have a memorable domain name that is short and catchy.
Use a well-searched for keyword within your domain name to help rank for that keyword.
If you sell a product ask someone else who sells a product to list your product with theirs, and you’ll do the same for them - split commissions on sales.
When you write a new article on your site - link to as many blogs as possible - they will likely see your site in their pingbacks, website stats, or Technorati. They will visit your site and possibly subscribe to it and link back at a later date.
Get your RSS feed syndicated to different sites like Zimbio and hubpages and Topix.
If your site is popular and has quality unique content then apply to get listed in Google’s News search.
