Over the years we have written a number of posts outlining outright tips and advice on how to build website traffic. I thought today was a good time to revisit some of those posts as they all contain excellent, succinct advice that applies to this day.

Blog commenting – this is an oldie but a goodie. Like many other techniques, there are multiple benefits of leaving comments on other people’s blogs…

Forum posting – another staple traffic building method that works to this day…

Press releases – often ignored by many, press releases offer a great avenue for building backlinks, exposure and brand awareness that simply shouldn’t be ignored by people who have something valuable to share…

Article writing – just like with press releases, well written articles can get you an exponential number of backlinks and traffic from high authority sites literally within days…

Directory submissions – although overused in recent times (with varying degrees of success), high PR and strong authority directory submissions are very valuable if done right…

Link baiting – Make a funny video, throw a shoe at a president etc…

Do your SEO optimization – this includes doing proper keyword research…

Submit your website to other places that will take your link and promote it…

And keep learning more about how to build traffic to your sites…

Obviously, before doing any of this, you need to plan your website, hire a web designer, build the site, and once you get traffic to it, you’ll need to know how to convert that traffic into money…

Have fun!
