You need to build website traffic if you have any intentions of being able to survive online. But before you build your website traffic, it’s important to remember a very important principle:

All traffic is not equal.

1000 people coming to your website from your Facebook profile, isn’t the same as 1000 people coming to your website having searched for a solution to a problem or desire they have, and choosing your website as the answer for their needs.

There are a lot of ways to build website traffic, and no strategy alone should be used in isolation. You have to test different techniques of building website traffic and determine which will bring you the biggest returns. In this article we’re going to discuss 2 ways to build traffic.

Article Marketing

This is perhaps the most common free traffic building technique that many people are taking advantage of because it’s very easy to start with article marketing. You basically have to write articles about different topics. If you have a web design company, you can write about web design related topics in order to get targeted traffic to your website.

Please note that there are specific keywords that you need to pay attention when writing your articles so it will be displayed in the search engines naturally. After your articles are listed in the search engines, you can drive targeted traffic to your website for free!

Pay-Per-Click

PPC advertising is one of the most common form of paid marketing. You only pay when someone clicks your ads. It’s the most fastest, most reliable traffic building strategy you can use if you want consistent results.

PPC is not advisable for beginners though. I’ve seen a lot of people burn hundreds of dollars in just a couple of days with PPC. The key to being successful in PPC is to make sure that your expenses are less than your revenue.
