Having a website that generate steady income is appealing to everyone ( me included :P). But people out there that is attracted by this idea is sometimes careless to think that they ONLY have to design attractive websites and leave it there and visitors will somehow magically come. Well,it doesn’t work that way.

You HAVE to promote your site in order for people to come visit and read your blog/website’s content. I’ve read some article all over the internet and i narrow it down to 5 simple steps that you guys out there with traffic problem can follow.

5 SIMPLE STEPS TO GENERATE TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE.

1.There are services out there that provide cheap advertising and can confirm traffic to your site. For example, Google Adwords. This service allows you to create text and link based ads and they advertise your ads through their search engine and also through people that participate in their Google Adsense program. This means that, you are marketing your website GLOBALLY and not just at a single website, which means this will bring a lot more traffic than just advertising on a single website.

2. Write articles. (Like i’m doing right now). This can help increase your website’s traffic tremendously. Don’t worry if you don’t write well(like me :P). It’ll become better after much practice. After you finished writing, submit them to several article directory.

3. Join a traffic exchange service. Most of the traffic exchange service nowadays are free, but you can’t just join and sit back and wait for the visitor to roll in. No, sadly, it doesnt work that way. You have to do your fair share of work by ‘paying’ a certain site through the exchange link’s credit system. This way that you can get paid(credit wise) to advertise for them and vice versa.

4.Create a network with other sites. Link to a website that is in the same category as yours and ask the webmaster of the site to do the same. This will not only give you free advertisement but also can increase your site credibility if your site is linked in a popular site.

5. Last but not least, if you just started a company website, don’t forget to put the address on business cards,banners,fliers and pamphlets. This will give your site some traffic and also increase your company’s credibility on the eyes of the people that saw your advertisement.

Hope you guys can benefit from these tips that i give. Would love to hear some feedback!!
