5 simple ways to increase targeted traffic

Getting traffic to a website is extremely difficult even if you have a lot of time and money. Here are some tips you can use to get targeted traffic right away:

1. Perform Search Engine Optimization. Like it or not, this is most time consuming approach, but the results can be very impressive.
2. Jump onto the Search Engine Marketing bandwagon. This is both the fastest and most expensive approach. All you need to do is to set up targeted campaigns with Google, Yahoo or other smaller sites providing advertising programs.
3. Submit yourself to Article Marketing. If any of your articles gets published, people will follow the “backlink” to your site. This has been the secret weapon for some major online marketers.
4. Write a good blog. Simple and effective. Put a link on your blog to direct visitors to your main site or blog.
5. Join some popular Web 2.0 social bookmarking sites. Same as the last approach but with a lot more exposure. These sites have millions of visitors every day that may have the same interests as you.
