Wow! modt concise traffic tips ever seen Thx.
September 6th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
I thank you Kingsley. Though I wouldn’t call them concise.
I’m quite drunk with verbosity most days, one of my many lovely flaws.
September 7th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
I have profiles on several social networking sites, and the one that gives me the most traffic is Squidoo. Next in line would be ActiveRain and then its a toss up among a few others. Great list. I’ve bookmarked it.
September 7th, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Thanks. Of course these aren’t social networking sites… ? So that gave me a bit of confusion.
September 7th, 2007 at 8:13 pm
Great List*
I find MyBlogLog + BlgCatalog + SpicyPage + other Blogger Communities have been thee Best Source for Blog Traffic*
;))

Hello Billy,
Thanks for joining us.
The best source for blog traffic for each person is going to depend on how they set up their blog and what they put into it, as well as topic matter and a host of other things. It’s different for everyone. And the less time you have to participate in communties, the less traffic you’ll get from them.
Then you also have to think about what the point of the traffic is that you’re generating. Personally, I’ve gotten more traffic to this blog from StumbleUpon than all the blog communities I belong to combined. My top sources of traffic (to the blog) are links, articles, the search engines, social traffic and advertising. Blog communities are a distant third.
However, at some of my other blogs, the BumpZee community is the number one source of visitors.
This list, however, doesn’t have as much to do with blog traffic as it does to do with ALL traffic, for every type of site. There’s something on this list for everyone. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Quite interesting and impressive list of article about ways to generate free website traffic. It will be complete when you include articles about how to do it through SEO, organic search engine results and offline methods. Congratulations!

It will never be complete. We have about 100 articles on SEO, organic and offline, they just aren’t on the free list for various reasons.
Thanks for you comments.

I am trying to find out enough about blogging to decide whether I am up to it. And if it can help me supplement my pension. This entry looked promising. If it is helpful, I’ll be back
February 15th, 2008 at 11:50 am
I think you can definitely supplement your pension blogging. You just need to be persistent and write something every day to keep content fresh. Visiting this site is a good start and has a lot of great tools and tips. You could also promote your blog or other sites you like here to get some additional traffic:

Wow, this is absolutely AMAZING - I can’t believe the amount of articles you’ve written up. I mean, I know some of them were written as far back as 2004, but I still think it’s quite impressive.
I’m not sure where to start. Erm, ok, I think I’ll start with the ‘traffic from article marketing’ section as I have this ebook I’m writing and I think learning how I can use article writing to promote it would be pretty useful.
take care …and thanks

slyvie,
thank you.
Foxbob,
Not everyone makes tons of money but persistent people who focus on getting decent traffic will often make a few hundred each month.
tercume,
Why would that be confusing? The title has absolutely nothing to do with that.
Babs/Barbara,
Thank you. This is just the best 69 of 2000+ just at this site though. I expect I’ve written tens of thousands by now.
Welcome.

Hi, Would someone be better off spending all their time gathering traffic by using a site like usfreedads, or should they worry about the seo of their site more[url=http://ATTRIGNRERA.ORG].[/url] Basically, I am asking if it is better to write a bunch of articles/classifieds, or worry about link building, submitting to directories, and optimizing their site with more than a simple template?
Thanks!

Excellent suggestions. Might I add that a short burst of paid traffic can create residual traffic well into the future. I recently purchased a URL that had absolutely no past traffic. I dropped $20USD for paid traffic over a couple of days. Right after that my daily traffic jumped from 0 before the $20USD to, on an average 40 hits per day and growing.
