Whether br your trying to make money blogging, selling your own product br or making money with affiliate marketing, you need traffic, br targeted traffic to be exact. Driving targeted traffic to br your site is not easy. It takes time, hard work and br dedication. To be successful in driving highly targeted br traffic to your site, you have to be able to apply the br combine power of different traffic generation methods. If br your wondering how to drive targeted traffic to your br siteblog, here are two powerful methods my favorites, br Internet marketers have been using for a long time to br successfully send targeted traffic to their sites.br br Article marketingbr br Writing articles and distributing them on the internet br article marketing is a powerful way to drive quality br targeted traffic to your site. What makes article marketing br great is the fact that you dont have to spend any money to br achieve success with it, and it benefits you in many ways. br First and foremost, it establishes you as an authoritative br figure. And if you are article marketing as an affiliate br marketer, since the page the attached link in the resources br box links to is intimately related to the content of the br article, half of your job which is selling products, is br done! People tend to be more likely to buy after being br warmed up to the idea, which in internet marketing is called br preselling. Article marketing is also a great way to br build one way backlinks to your site, which can increase br your traffic, and your status amongst search engines.br br Submitting articles to article directoriesbr br I think article marketing is the most effective method for br generating traffic. Writing 2 articles a day and submitting br to at least 5 major article directories for a month, can be br a the simplest yet most effective way to boost your sales br and traffic. But there are hundreds of article directories br out there, and it would be smart to submit your articles to br as many article directories as you can. If you submit your br articles to 500 article directories, and if each of those br directories brings you 1 visitors a day, thats 500 visitors br a day from only one article you have submitted. Of course br this is not fact. You could get less or more visitors from br different article directories depending on their status and br popularity and the quality of your articles, but you get the br point. The more articles you write and distribute, the more br traffic you get. Simple as that. Although not any article is br going to generate traffic. You need to write useful and br informative articles. One well written article is much br better than 100 poorly written articles. So, while you do br want to have more articles out there, you dont want to br sacrifice the quality for quantity.br br Automated article submissionbr br While article marketing is a powerful and totally cost free br way to increase both your sales and traffic volume, its a br very time consuming task, specially if your planing to br submit more than just a couple of articles. Luckily there br are article submission softwares that automate the br submission process, giving you more time to research and br write better quality articles. Article submission softwares br can be costly, but they are well worth the price. There are br also some free article submission softwars as well. One of br the best free article submission softwarse that I use myself br sometimes is the AticleSubmissionHelper. It does more than br what some very high priced article submitters do.br br Participating in forumsbr br Another easy way to establish yourself in the field is by br participating actively in forums. Quite obviously because it br gives you an unlimited number of backlinks, as well as br credibility amongst the community. Genuinely contributing br and having intelligent discussion and helping other forums br members, will paint an authoritative figure picture of you, br which is an important part of any internet marketing br campaign. You want tobr br be recognized. You want to be known as an expert in your br niche, so people will trust you, and any product you create. br One of the best and most trusted forums related to internet br marketing that can also be a great way to establish yourself br as an expert is the wellknown WarriorForum. WF is also a br great forum for learning everything related to internet br marketing.br br Making the most out of forum signaturesbr br Most forums allow you to have links displayed as your br signature. Although many people over look this simple but br effective point, make sure you take advantage of this br opportunity to create a attractive and attention grabbing br signature, that will entice people to click on it. You will br be surprised by the amount of traffic you can get from a br simple forum signature. You will be specially surprised when br you receive traffic from a signature link in a forum post br hat you have posted years ago and forgot all about it.br br Of course, there are many other ways to drive targeted br traffic to your site, such as social bookmarking, social br networking, guest writing and etc. But, what I like about br article marketing and forums is the long term effects of br them. You submit an article once to an article directory, br but it will continue to bring traffic to your site for years br to come. Same thing with forums. Your contributions and br links in forums will be there for a long time for everybody br to see, as long as you comply with their terms and policies. br When it comes to generating quality traffic, article br marketing and forum participation have shown to be some of br the most powerful and effective ways of driving targeted br traffic to a website or blog.br br Satrap is the founder and author of controversial blog, br blogstash.com.
