How you can drive traffic to your site

Website traffic doesn’t fall from the sky, and getting new, steady, high quality website traffic is a grind.

Most people get desperate and read about quick tactics to generate traffic, like Pinterest (or spamming forums) :)

But, here’s the truth:

Not all traffic is created equal

Let’s say you got 1,000 site visits yesterday from Pinterest, but that traffic bounced immediately and never came back.

We don’t want that. Instead, you should focus on building consistent, loyal traffic if you want people to stick around.

Here’s a few “NO BS” ways to get immediate website traffic:

Referrals

Your early traffic will likely come from other sites.

In the beginning, you should be spending time where your audience or user base is. Get them to come back to your site.

Connecting With Influencers and Communities


Generally, the most obvious source of referral traffic comes when other sites link to you. Think about traditional PR.

When a major site links back to you, you can rightfully expect great, relevant traffic.

Focus on building relationships with people in relevant communities.

Partner with people who influence these communities of your target audience.

Here are some additional quick ways to get traffic to your site:

Content Marketing and Syndication, Long-Tail SEO, and Advertising (albeit obviously not free).
