Although this is a guaranteed way to raise your visitor numbers it will invariably cost some money. The real trick is to carefully contain the cost of the keyword clicks by careful selection and monitoring of the keywords that you are paying for.

These efforts are doubly beneficial because both sites likely to be working to generate more traffic for their own site. It naturally follows that the more links that you exchange with other sites, the more traffic you can look forward to. It is important to only trade links with sites that have similar content to your own or else the search engines may penalise you if they think that the links exist only for self promotion. For that reason make sure that your links are related to anchor points on your pages, rather than all pointing to your main page.

3) Use Viral Marketing

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your site or product name with the minimum of cost. This is a marketing method that is spread from friend to friend; you simply attach your company name, product name or link inside a viral media item such as a free ebook, funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip item. With this method, people get 'infected' with the unusual content of the item that they want to send it to many people.

The keywords must be relevant to your web page content if you want to get a good ranking. the traditional approach of loading keywords in the meta tags not produce the required effect. You can write your own quality content or you could outsource to do it for you who will ensure that the correct keywords occur at the optimum frequency and positions.

When you feel comfortable with the material on your site, you should join a number of topic forums with a view to answering other peoples questions, always remembering to leave your URL as part of your signature. People will then trust you and your site and will add you to their bookmarks. They will also pass your URL on to everyone that they know. The number of visitors will then begin to grow because they know that you can help them with what they need.
