If you own blogs and websites then at sometime either in the past or more recently you have wondered how to get web traffic in huge quantities to your site. After all what is the point of creating content if nobody's going to view it? Whether you are attempting to make sales online or just want people to hear what you have to say, you want traffic to be led to your website. This could be a blog, a video directory channel, some other profile or any form of online content.

There are several methods to obtain large amounts of traffic but this article will discuss 3 of them in detail. In addition it will be useful to note that these methods are meant to drive targeted traffic to your site. That is they don't just bring in any random visitor to your site but instead somebody who is actually searching a subject that is related to your content.

Article writing: Method number 1 involves synthesizing many articles with information relating to the content of your site and publishing them on directories online. In these articles a link will be placed that leads to your site. The mechanism is that visitors to this article directory spot your article, read it and are enticed to click on the link that then leads them to your site. Or better yet, your article appears on the search engines and people find the article there and continue the same path to your site. This brings in targeted traffic that's very specific to your content, but takes a large volume of articles that may translate to lots of time and effort.

Paid marketing: Method number 2 involves paying search engines to list your site at the top of the SERPs for certain keywords that you select which are relevant to your site. This is only advisable for those who know what they're doing and can make money off their sites. Because even if the price for each click is small, with many clicks a month, you can spend quite a lot of money. It is important to note that the price you pay for each click can vary depending on how relevant your site is to the keyword that is being searched for and how good your site content is.

SEO: Search engine optimization is the 3rd method and this involves optimizing your site such that it automatically ranks up high in the SERPs for specific keywords. This is a free method of receiving highly targeted traffic and can be a gold mine of visitors. There are several tactics that are involved in SEO, but discussing them will take far more than one simple article.

Knowing how to get web traffic to your site can be a great priority to you. Following your choice of these 3 methods you can have a constant flow of visitors all the time that will help your money making on the net efforts. Not just any visitors mind you, but visitors who are specifically looking for what you have to say or offer.
