10 Ways to Drive Massive Traffic to Your Website (2)

3. Blogging - Blogging is one of the best things you can do for your business. Blogging is a great way to get to know your readers. Plus, blogging can play a major role in getting valuable search engine traffic from Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

4. Submit your articles to Blog Carnivals. A blog carnival is a collection of blog posts on a particular subject. They are then posted together on blog - called a host. The host (who is also a blogger), publishes the carnival on their blog, with links to each blog post that has been submitted. This creates an excellent opportunity to get your blog posts shared on other blogs.

There are a number of benefits to participating in blog carnivals. Not only will you generate extra traffic, but it also provides you with quality back links and an excellent opportunity to connect with other bloggers.

To submit your article to a blog carnival, go to Blog Carnival - Blog Communities Publishing Magazines. For extra exposure, submit to multiple blog carnivals. Just make sure they are all relevant to your topic.

This is one of the easiest ways to create one-way back links coming into your site, which is one of the biggest factors when it comes to ranking high in Google.

5. Submit your blog posts to social book marking sites.
Social Book marking is one of the easiest ways to get extra traffic and links coming into your blog. Social book marking allows Internet users to save and organize bookmarks to a public website, tag them with keywords, share them with others, and browse what others have bookmarked.

Digg, Delicious, Mixx, and Digg are just a few of the social book marking sites you can use to maximize your exposure. You can do a semi-automated submission to over 50 social book marking sites at AutoPoster.com. You can also encourage your blog readers to bookmark your posts as well with a Wordpress plugin called ShareThis.

6. Ustream.tv - Ustream allows you to create your very own TV station on the Web. However, it is better than TV because it is a live, interactive experience. While you are broadcasting the video, you are also getting feedback from the live chat room.

Ustream gives your business a human face and a real personality. This is extremely valuable, because people like to buy and interact with people, not impersonal companies.

Live video allows you to reach entirely new audiences and develop a much greater level of engagement. A deeper level of engagement almost equates to a higher conversion rate when done correctly. It is also an excellent way to get feedback from your audience.
