It’s quite important,as a blogger or marketer or whatever it is that you do online,to have multiple traffic sources and not just rely on one source of traffic which most people find themselves doing.That said,most bloggers end up going the same familiar sources for getting traffic so you find everyone using the same strategies over and again
Don’t get me wrong – those sources of traffic are good and i use all of the sources that everyone else does but there are some other traffic sources that if you tap into will literally blow up your traffic and the good thing about these sources is that very few people use them so you have an unfair advantage by using them
So with that said,let’s jump down to it!
(NOTE:They are not necessarily listed in order)
UNTAPPED TRAFFIC SOURCE #1 – PINTEREST
For some strange reason,Pinterest now usually sends more referral traffic to blogs and websites than Linkedin and Twitter combined and that,my friend,is a big deal.What makes it more amazing is the fact that it’s so easy to get traffic off Pinterest. It is really like an image sharing site where you “pin” the pictures that “interest” you and that’s where you get the word “Pinterest”.
Anyways, to use it is surprisingly simple.Just create an account,upload interesting and curiosity provoking images and link it to your site -That’s all.
Really simple and effective
UNTAPPED TRAFFIC SOURCE #2 – TUTORIAL SITES
Now this one i’m about to show you is pretty huge especially for those who are in specific niches.A tutorial site is basically a site where you create training and tutorials on any topic of your choice.Now,if you go to Google and search for any “how to”,you will notice that these sites rank well and that there is at least one tutorial site on the front page.If you are in a niche where you can give out tutorials,then by all means,start doing it.
Just start something around your niche
“how to blog”
“how to set up a plug-in in WordPress”
“how to play the guitar”
etc
Some of these tutorial sites are
tutorialized.com
noupe.com
instructables.com
pixel2life.com
psLover.com
tutorialkit.com ehow.com
Just register for these sites and start writing! Apart from that,these sites on their own get internal massive traffic so you will benefit from that too
UNTAPPED TRAFFIC SOURCE #3 – DOCUMENT SHARING SITES
These sites are extremely effective in generating traffic and they also give back links too. a great thing about this sites is that you do not have to create new or unique content to tap into this traffic from this sites
These sites are simply sites where you can upload PDF’s (or any other type of file) and people can download them.On the screen of these sites,your PDF is shown and any link is also counted which means back links also to your site and most of these sites have high Page Ranks
Here is all you have to do: Turn one third of your blog post into a PDF using any free tool and then leave a link at then end of it linking back to your website.Then upload it to these sites
These sites also rank well on Google so you can also get search engine traffic also
Here are some sites that you can submit to
Slideshare.net Issuu.com scribd.com
docstoc.com
crocodoc.com
You can always find a lot more by doing a Google search
UNTAPPED TRAFFIC SOURCE #4 – BLOG COMMENTING
Now,almost every one has heard of this strategy but most go about it the wrong way.Most people go for it basically because of the back links but back links are just one of the benefits of blog commenting.If used CORRECTLY,you can drive traffic to your site
To do this,identify the top 10 highly trafficked blogs in your niche then make sure you are subscribed to know when a new post has been made then make sure you are leave a valuable comment.
The key to this working is to make sure you leave a comment before 10 other people comment and the reason is simple – most people do not read beyond 10 comments when they are on a blog post.And if you leave a high value comment and not a general one like “Great post! Thanks for sharing!”, you will get people who will click on our name to check out your website
So there you have it!
Go ahead and start using these sources to expand your traffic network now.
In Prosperity,
