One thing every website, every online business, every internet marketer could use more 
of, is traffic. Traffic to your website is just as important as traffic to any retail store, and 
both without traffic, in time will cease to exist.

The point is -- traffic is extremely important to the success of your online business and your future success in business.  
More traffic equals more sales, more ad clicks, more signups, more recognition and more 
money.

Even if the product or service you’re selling is complete and utter crap, with 
enough traffic you could easily become an online millionaire in no time at all. Imagine 
what you could do with a half decent product?  
 
There are really only 3 ways to generate traffic to your website -- you can:  
 
1. Buy Traffic:  
This includes things like buying text or banner ads, PPC advertising, renting opt-in email 
lists and more.  
 
2. Create Traffic:  
Article writing, search engine optimization, sending out press releases, submitting to 
directories, emailing your list, social networking and bookmarking and so on are a few of 
the ways you can create traffic.  
 
3. Borrow Traffic  
Borrowing traffic encompasses things like trading ezine or newsletter ads, forming joint 
ventures, trading blog posts and so on.  
 
There really are hundreds of ways to generate traffic… I’ve been compiling the following 
list of 247 traffic generation methods since 2001 and this is the first time I’ve shared it 
with anyone. Needless to say, it’s not in perfect formation, but it comes in 100% working 
order. Although I’ve recently gone through and cleaned it up some it’s not grouped in any 
http://teguhyulianto.blogspot.com/ 
 
way and is in no particular order.  
Some of the following methods may be widely used, others rarely see the light of 
day, some are a little funky and not for everyone, some are drop dead simple, some are 
quite complex and time consuming, some are free, some are cheap and some are grossly 
expensive… but they all have one thing in common - they generate TONS of targeted 
traffic. But it’s still up to you to test and track your results to find what works best for 
you and will always, or almost always, generate a positive return on your investment.  
 

Anyways, without further ado… here are the 50 traffic generation methods I’ve been 
promising:

1. Write a press release and submit it to www.PRWeb.com. 
2. Promote your site using cheap or free classified ads in targeted ezines or 
newsletters. 
3. Leave comments on other people’s blogs with a backlink to your site. 
4. Advertise your website in the appropriate category on www.CraigsList.com. 
5. Create a viral software program and give it away for free. 
6. Send a free copy of your product to other site owners in exchange for a 
product review. 
7. Submit your blog articles to www.blogg-buzz.com (a Digg.com like site for 
bloggers).

9. Write a book. The publicity, credibility, and notoriety will practically lock 
traffic on autofire. 
10. Sell a cheap but extremely useful PDF formatted ebook on Amazon.com full 
of links to your site. 
11. Exchange reciprocal links with other related websites.

15. Submit your site to FFA (Free for All) sites (Warning: low quality traffic and 
can be bad for SEO). 
16. Buy text links or banner ads on eBay. 
17. Start multiple blogs on related but slightly different topics to drive traffic to a 
main sales site.

blog on internet marketing, another on email marketing, one on affiliate 
marketing, another on search engine optimization and so on all to drive traffic. 
18. Place a classified ad on Yahoo Classifieds - Yahoo receives more traffic than 
any other website. 
19. Find joint venture partners that will send you traffic. 
20. Start your own newsletter or ezine.

23. Target your website to low competition niches using long tail keywords. 
24. Find a JV broker.

automatically generate backlinks.

28. Have a website with content that’s worth coming back to. 
29. Add social bookmarking icons to your website or blog (use the sociable plugin

30. Promote your website on cheap ‘pixel advertising’ websites.

32. Become a member of the Better Business Bureau and get them to put up a link 
to your site (PS: it’s not worth joining just for the link). 
33. Network with other people at seminars or other live events.

 34. Speak at seminars and give the audience a reason why the absolutely, 
positively need to visit your website for a titillating piece of information. 
35. Promote your website on the ‘thank you’ pages of other sales sites. Work out

44. Place ads on a local radio station. This is something I’ve actually used and on 
the right radio station (preferably talk radio -- much higher response rate) and 
some kind of forced opt-in page (I offered a Caribbean getaway for personal 
info… to monetize later), it can be financially feasible and even highly 
profitable. 
45. Advertise on TV. This is not as beyond your reach as you might think: 
Something as simply as having your website sponsor the news on a local 
station can put you in front of 10’s of  thousands of viewers for as little as 
$100. 
46. Hire a public relations company or agent.
