Top 15 Ways to Drive Targeted Traffic to your Website Part 3

7. Buy ads from Craigslist.com. Craigslist alone has about 100 million visits every month. That means it is a potential gold mine. For a very small amount of money, you can post your classifieds in their listing as and voila you have targeted traffic. Post in the category in which the services and product you are offering belong not in other services because you are bound to get visitors who may not be looking for what you have to offer. So, if you are resume writer, post your ads in the writing section, or resume section.

8. Include a Tell-a-friend form on your website or blog. This will make people who find your blog interesting, pass it along or email it to their friends, or also, enter their friends’ email address. A very easy way to do this is by offering an irresistible incentive to the visitors to pass along. On the other hand, you can ask nicely that if they find your blog or website to be interesting, they could tell their friends about the website.

9. Write a report and giveaway at no cost. This works like magic. People love free high quality information. If you’ve heard anything about the Authority Black book by Jack Humphrey, you’ll find that the ebook is so loaded with information that you cannot exhaust it in 2 months of application. Results? Jack Humphrey’s authority site went from no traffic to 4000 readers in just 3 months. Extraordinary. Isn’t it? You could reproduce these same results if you just learned from him and applied it to your own marketing strategies. The keyword in this tactic being "overloaded with information". The saying that if you want so much of something, learn how to help others get theirs and you’ll automatically get lots of anything you so desire. So in this case, if your target is generating lots of traffic to your blog or website, give out something of value that people will appreciate. This will ultimately keep them coming back for more information. Do yourself this favor. Update your blog at least once a day. This will ensure that repeat visitors will get to see new information every time they visit your website.

10. Add bookmarklets to your site. If you want more visitors, simply ask your visitors to bookmark your website. If you don’t know how to do this, visit a website and hold CTRL+D. The site becomes bookmarked. The beauty of telling people to do this is sometimes, people forget to bookmark a website even when they feel it is very relevant. So, teaching or reminding them to bookmark a website results in repeat visiting and sending to their friends.

11. Build your own list. According to Terry Dean, the sole purpose for your website is to catch your visitors email address and build a list. Building a list is as simple as setting up an autoresponder. Then, cut and paste the code for the form on your website. So, when people visit your website, the very first thing they see is the offer to get on your list. Follow me carefully here. Don’t make an offer that seems unreasonable. Offers like "Learn the secrets of grossing $1m in just 3 months". This may be enticing to a newbie. But never to a professional.
