A common question asked by businesses is “How Can I Get Fast Traffic to My Website?”. Well we have decided to answer this question and the beauty is most of our suggestions are free! All they take is a little effort and a little time and in return can produce great results!
If you are too busy to handle these task yourselves consider outsourcing the work to some one familiar with search engine optimization and online marketing to get fast traffic.
How Can I Get Fast Traffic to My Website?
1. Submit Your Site and Page to Stumbleupon
Stumbleupon is a great social bookmarking toolbar that lets you find sites related to topics you are interested in. You simply install the toolbar, select your topics and star browsing and rating sites. The key to getting good traffic with this site is to actually participate and rate content to help the site bring back better results.
Network with people in your niche and rate topics in your niche and you will be able to drive more traffic to your site as long as your content is of high-quality.
2. Run a StumbleUpon Campaign
StumbleUpon also has a great advertising system where you can purchase very targeted traffic for only 5 Cents per click. You can select the category, country, age range and more, which is incredible for promoting a business site. I recommend running a campaign based on your budget, pointing to a specially designed landing page or your home page.
3. Submit Your Main URL to Social Marker
Social marker is a great service that lets you submit your website to all the social bookmarking sites. Its tedious to make accounts for each site at first, but once you have an account for each, all you have to do to submit is login!
4. Submit Press Releases
Press releases are a classic way to get exposure, especially on major news networks which can bring in an incredible amount of visitors and give your site great authority. Below area few of the press release site you can submit your news too:
5. Submit to Digg Like News Sites
Digg.com is a user submitted and user rated news site that has spawned hundreds of clones which is great for anyone looking to market their site. Not only should you submit your site and articles to Digg, but you should also find more specific sites like Digg.com that allow for article submissions.
6. Contact Other Blogs
When you launch your new business, start-up or website you should make a list of important blogs related to your site and contact them to inform them of your website. Don’t spam people with emails, one well-written and informative email to a few of sites can work wonders.
7. Create Your Own Blog
Creating your own blog is a great way to produce quality content very quickly and easily. Quality content will get you lots of traffic and backlinks and will establish you as an authority in your niche. WordPress is the leading blog software, its easy to install and its potential is limitless.
8. Comment on Other Blogs
Becoming active in in the web community is a proven method of generating traffic. One of the easiest ways to do this is to leave great, informative comments on other blogs related to your site. Make a list of all the blogs like similar to yours and start leaving comments on new posts. The quicker you leave a comment on a new post the better. Most comments are moderated and will allow you to add a link to your site which is often linked to your name.
9. Submit Your Site to Directories
Directories are an old-school method of getting traffic and better rankings, but more and more directories are becoming worthless because they let any website in. The best directories are moderated to ensure a quality directory. Not all directories will approve you even if you pay so be forewarned.
Make sure your site is top quality and not spammy or solely alive to sell, sell, sell. Also look to see if the category page you are submitting to has PageRank of 1 or more. The higher the better, but don’t expect to see any directory sub category pages with PageRank higher than 4 or 5 (most will be 0, but will still help). Below are some normal website and blog directories to consider:
10. Post in Forums
Posting in forums works wonders as well. As always, become an active member of the community and add links to your signature when appropriate. Keep active and the traffic should flow in. The more authority you have on the forums, the better your chances for getting fast traffic will be.

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
