11.10.08 Increase Site Traffic Easily And Affordably  By Giorgos Kontopoulos Many people doing business online have great websites but don't seem to be selling anything. Their products or services are top-notch, and their looks both professional and unique. So why aren't they making any money? The issue is that it really doesn't matter how amazing your website is if no one ever sees it. Here are 45 ways you can increase your website traffic easily and affordably.1. Create your site with search engines in mind. Most people who look up something on the internet do so by using a search engine. Use words and phrases related to your business throughout your site. 2. Blog about your site. Even if you don't have a dedicated blog for your website, mention it in your personal blog. You might even make multiple blogs-a personal one, a business one, etc. 3. Update these blogs on a regular basis (at least once a week). 4. Tag your blogs on sites like http://del.icio.us and www.technorati.com. 5. Use social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook to advertise your website. 6. Put your website address in your email signature. 7. Put your website in the signature area of any forum you post on regularly, especially if the forum is related to your service or product. 8. Add an RSS feed to your website news section or your website blog.
9. Watch for any grammar/spelling errors on your website. No one will stick around your site if it has obvious (and avoidable) errors on it. Proofread! 10. Likewise, make certain all the links on your website work. 11. Look at what kind of navigation tools you are using on your site. Some may not work with every web browser. 12. Write good articles and press releases about your website. The goal here is to get keywords into the article that will send people to your site. 13. List your website at DMOZ (http://dmoz.org). 14. Review products on epinion.com and other review sites that are similar to yours. 15. Post comments on other blogs and websites that discuss products or services similar to yours. Be sure to include your website if there is space for a URL. 16. Put up business-related photos on sites like Flickr and tag them with your website address. 17. Make comments on blogs related to your website, and encourage people to comment on your blog. Continue reading this article. About the Author: Giorgos Kontopoulos is a web consultant from Greece.
