Using of online forums and social communities sites such as Myspace.com, Facebook.com, Hi5.com and so on to get visitors to your website. The great things about forums or social networking sites are often you can find certain groups that fit in to your demographic or niche. Then you can start discussing things or answering questions about the niches, topics or markets that you represent. Also, you can research on how these group of people think or act in order to get a better sales conversion rate when you are ready to launch your product or services. Now why I suggest you answering other’s people questions? The benefits of answering other people’s questions about your niche is you are building a reputation for your company by showing them how much a ‘guru’ you are. So when those people comes to look for products or services about your niche, they will remember you and thus, you have a better chance in closing a sale.

Strategies #3: Link Trading or Exchange
Another great way to increase your website traffic further is by trading or exchanging links with other similar but non competitive topic websites. For example, if your site topics is about affiliate programs then you can exchange or trade links from websties that are talking about email marketing. They have similar interest but they are not directly compete with each other. In other words, you don’t want to contact a site webmaster or webmistress to trade or exchange links with you when both of you are talking about how to make money on affiliate programs. The way to exchange links is to contact the other site webmaster (or webmistress) and reach an agreement between you and they and that is it. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sides. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and hence visit your site. This how link exchanges work.
