Creating more traffic

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 31.2006

I just started a new web proxy [url]www.highschoolproxy.com[/url] and have had a little success with it. The problem is that I need some help getting the word of the site out. How does one go about going from very little traffic on a specific site to growing it and having people come back and back again to use it? Thanks

@Compguy_PeteJun 02.2006 — your going to have to start emailing other site owners that have a similar target group and start doing a link exchange with them.

There are some free Press Release sites you could use as well.

Is there anyway you can use Myspace to help get traffic?

@alexduprisJun 04.2006 — I'm in the same boat, I'm trying to get a page ranking of something higher than zero. Is link exchanging truly effective, are there other methods of getting links that I can try?

@SeawitchJul 03.2006 — [FONT=Comic Sans MS]Hi Guy's

One way to get very effective links I discovered by accident rather than design, most ISP's offer more than one screen name and my own others up to seven, all come with a facility to open a blog, I used to use them as a platform for my artwork until I got more organised, however, they are all on the search engine with prominent links to my site, which is an Artists site, [URL=http://www.seawitchartist.com]www.seawitchartist.com[/URL] in respect of images, which is what I'm all about, some of my blogs still lead over my website. Example of one of my blogs and the links within..[URL=http://journals.aol.co.uk/seawitch8603693/Seawitch1957/]Seawitch1957[/URL]


My webstats show that a lot of my referral is coming from myself.

Going on forums that will let you use your URL in posts is also very effective if you don't abuse it.

Good luck! [/FONT]

@webkahunaJul 16.2006 — Get a blog installed on your website. I repeat on your website. Do not get a blog at blogger.com or blogspot.com. Get your blog registered with sites such as technorati, globe of blogs, and any other blog directories that you can find. Sign up for a free account with feedburner.

Once you have your blog insalled on your website, begin publishing at least 1 short article per day. By short, I mean about 200 words or less. If you have employees, then have them each publish one short article per day. Everytime you publish and article in your blog it alerts other websites including the search engines. This is especially beneficial since search will begin crawling your site alot sooner than if you conventionally to them.

What can you write in a blog? Just about anything. You can post your press releases about your company. You can even write a weekly column as it relates to your business and publish it to your blog. All this will increase your chances of being found on the search engines. Best of all. It's free traffic. So start using a blog.

@ulillilliaJul 16.2006 — For at least 4 years, I've been having very low traffic. Even to today, I get very low traffic. 90% of it comes from using avatars in forums, and posting screenshots, samples, and the related for the forums. Out of my usual 1 GB per month bandwidth usage, only 70 MB out of it is from outside visitors (25 MB on this is from search engines). It's been like that for 3 months. I've been running my blog since as far back as late October of 2004 and it has had otherwise no effect on traffic. Along with that, I keep a detailed dream journal, often with 5 or more dreams recalled each update spaced 10 days apart on average. Each update to my blog easily adds another 15 KB to the total file size. Each update to my site in general adds about 50 KB. Although I have some documents that haven't been updated in over a year (anything ending in .html is at least a year old), a few areas here and there (especially the blog and dream journal) are updated very frequently. Despite this, I have had no change in outside traffic. I don't get it....

@SeawitchJul 17.2006 — Hi ulillillia

Given the topic, why not put your URL in the post? I find that forums tend to be anchored on a slowly changing group of regulars, Avatars soon get passed by, reasonable prompting i okay.

I maintain with a fair bit of success some blogs that aren't really blogs, they retain the same info all the time, I'm told that google is favouring websites by age as well by the way, so as they were there a year longer than my website, they were well ahead for a long time, especially in image searches. I merely used my screen names to keep blogs with rather static information with my websites URL prominently displayed. It worked well, my web stats show that.

I can't help feeling a bit over informed when I went to your site?

@WaylanderJul 18.2006 — If you have a portfolio website put it in your signatures in forums, every little bit helps.

I will when im done mine ?

If you keep having troubles then I would review the content itself, to make sure its related to your keywords properly.

Waylander.

@ulillilliaJul 18.2006 — I've got not one but two URLs to my website in two forums I frequent. That's where 90% of my traffic comes from (by bandwidth usage).

@jeddikAug 15.2006 — Hello

webkahuna - your comeent was very helpful as I want to launch my site soon and was thinking about having a blog page.

Which blog script do you recommend installing? Ideally I'd like to have a little box on the front page with a taster of the blog ( just showing a couple of sentences) and a like to the blog page - do some scripts do that for you ?

Thanks for any advice.

E-em... Why you are advice not to get a blog at blogger or blogspot but on technorati? The blogspot is a Google blog, right? So maybe it attracts google spiders often then other blogs? I've using blospot, but where you get such information?

And of course, technorati is the best resource for web marketing in future. I've heard from one of my acquaintance (he is also web promoter) about new project starts soon. It will use web 2.0, social bookmarking, tagging techniques to bring a lot of quality links to websites. I've signed for free report at www.mavericksocializer.com/free-report.html , there you can find this report sign form.

highschoolproxy, you should use a base promotion methods as link exchange with sites of similar content, all of web directories submission, press releases, article bases sites on which you nee to post articles with your link near it, make your site filled up with good content and so... Good luck!

@aleeleeAug 23.2006 — You should check out trafficswarm. They are totally free. And you site is posted and people will visit it all the time. Check it out to get a better discription of it. I'll tell you though it worked for me, and still is!!

@stacywacyAug 24.2006 — I agree with freenel's question about why not have a blog at blogger.com? I've had a blog there for about 5 months and it's being crawled by search engines. Had I put it on my website then I'd most likely still be trying to get search engines to crawl it.

Also, don't forget, highschool proxy, to submit your site to a bunch of free directories such as Yahoo and Dmoz. Write some articles at articles sites like articledashboard.com about how privacy over the Interent is important and why people should use proxy servers like yours when browsing; scare them a little. ? Your site can be linked at the end of your article which will give you more exposure and possible backlinks.

Just surfind the net and found this forum and read your message. I am not very good with websites but according to my friend you can include your site in [URL=http://www.searchingeasy.com/search/extremesearch.php?advanced=1]http://www.searchingeasy.com/[/URL] directory for free. Visit the best category to that of your site and look for the link to add your site.

Hope this helps

Success!
