Increasing free website traffic and top Google rankings are the holy grail of webmastering. While some website owners will ignore search engine optimization, most of us would rather not have to buy our traffic.
While people tend to complicate things, there are really only two primary activities that need to be performed in order to get more traffic to your site. The first is adding pages to your site, and the second is increasing the number of inpointing links to your site. Since you can never have enough links, let’s focus on a few link building tricks that require minimal additional effort on your part.
Getbookmark.com (http://www.getbookmark.com) — This tool allows you to add a page to many social bookmarking sites with just a few clicks.
You can quickly and easily increase the number of inpointing links to not only the pages on your site, but also other sites that link to yours. Use this tool to quickly bookmark select pages on your site (and others) to many SB sites at once.
Use it to boost the rankings of your link partners, articles you’ve submitted, blogs you control, and Squidoo lenses. Bookmark one of your articles and one of your pages per month and you’ll add about 1,000 links per year to your site.
The Unique Article Wizard (http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com) — You probably already know that article marketing is one of the best ways to build links and get more free website traffic. There are never any guarantees that your article will be picked up by a good site, however, and it takes a lot of time and effort.
If you’re going to be spending your time on article marketing, you want to leverage your efforts and maximize your results. The Unique Article Wizard accomplishes this by submitting your articles to hundreds of blogs, sites, and article directories.
In addition, unique versions of your articles are created that read perfectly well and help to make more of your links count. If you submit 10 articles per month, at the end of a year you’ll have an additional 10,000 or more inpointing links to your site.
Submit to RSS directories — Submitting your RSS feed to RSS directories can increase exposure and add links to your site. Fresh links are good links, and this idea can generate more free website traffic by adding fresh links to your site on a regular basis. Many of these directories will republish the snippets from your RSS feed with a link back to your site each time you post.
If you submit to 20 of these directories, you’ll get 20 additional links every time you create a new page. Build one page per week, and that’s an additional 1,040 links per year pointing back to those 52 pages.
Create a Tumblr blog (http://www.tumblr.com) — You can blog with Tumblr and point links back to your site. You can also set up your RSS feed so that every time you add a page to your site, it creates a link back to that page from Tumblr.
These techniques require minimal additional effort, and have a lasting effect on your ability to generate free website traffic. Start employing these techniques today and you’ll add hundreds of links to your website.
