Day 29: Go where the traffic is

Today’s I want to talk about going where the traffic is.

This may sound like a strange idea but bear with me as I believe it to be a worthwhile concept.

This concept was originally introduced to me by Willie Crawford and basically states that if you want to increase traffic to your site then find related sites and look for ways to leverage their traffic.

For example if you want to get more traffic to your Poodle Manicures site then go find the most popular sites about Poodle Manicures and look for ways to leverage their traffic.

There are numerous ways do this. Here a few of the common ones:

1*If they have a blog you can:
1-Post meaningful comments and get a link back to your site
2-Write an informative guest post and get a link back to your site
3-Request a link exchange with their blogroll
2*If they have a forum there are several ways to use this get traffic.
1-Ask them if you could buy some ad space to advertise your site
2-If they have an email list offer to write an informative email to be sent to their 3-list and get a link to your site in return. This is similar to the guest posting idea for blogging.
4-Post a funny video on youtube with a link to your site
