Grab The RSS100 Ways To Get More Traffic To Your Website
Last week I told you guys I was working on a really long post that I hoped would become popular, remember? Well, I just published it on one of my other websites. The post is called 100 Ways to Increase Your Website Traffic.
I had seen a couple of similar lists around the web, but most of them contained only a single sentence per item, and most items were not directly related to generating traffic at all.
That is why I decided to write my own list. I made sure only to include points that are really going to increase your traffic (even if just slightly), and I also explained each point and included links to relevant resources where suitable.
The result is a monster post with almost 6,000 words. Here is a quote:
30. Launch a review contest. If you want to increase your search rankings you could launch a contest where people need to write about the content in order to get an entry. The links you’ll get will send you both Google juice and new visitors. Keep in mind that you need a good prize to motivate people to write about your contest though.
31. Launch a voting contest. You basically need to create a contest where the winner will be picked with a voting session. Suppose you have a fitness website. You could invite your readers to submit their best fitness tip, and then a voting session would decide which tip gets the prize. This would motivate participants to link to the voting session and to encourage their friends to visit your website and vote.
32. Launch a traffic contest. If traffic is what you want, why not be direct about it? You can launch a contest where people need to send traffic to one particular page inside your website. It could be the contest page (for a viral effect) or a resource page (e.g., a page where you give away an ebook). After the established time frame (e.g., 2 weeks, 1 month or anything else), you’ll simply need to check your web analytics to see which websites sent you more visitors, and then award the prizes.
Check it out. And if you like it, please help me spread the word with a stumble or a retweet!

Whoa Awesome, awesome post you made there at your other website!
I have bookmarked it as it will take some time to go through all 100 points and I have also re tweeted the post.
These 100 points look awesome, and I think they will be enough for a lot of traffic generation.
Thanks a lot for writing those 100 ways!
Kindest,
Nabeel
Well it’s awesome and huge lol!
Hope the post goes viral. I didn’t know that site was yours Daniel
And its nice to see that every way is working
Trying some code here …
Wow, Daniel!
Thanks so much for putting this list together and offering your expertise in getting more traffic. I can’t wait to read the entire 100 ways.

Great post! I’ve been looking for such article for a long time. I discovered your blog yesterday and now I’ve found one of the most useful posts ever. Good job.
Greets,
Kaczor
Thank you so much Daniel for the time taken to provide us such an awesome post. Probably need to take some time to read and digest. I will certainly implement it probably not all but those that can be implement directly first. Thanks again.
Daniel,
Tip 31 is a good one for blog traffic. As a mom blogger, I see and participate in these a lot with other mom bloggers.
This a great resource to keep the traffic fresh.
Thanks,
Keisha
Wow! I see how you had to break it up into chunks to write that massive article.
I read through it and agree with everything you said. I did find one mistake – when you talk about forums and link to phpBB, you link to the Brazilian Portuguese page of phpBB… It might throw some people off thinking they have to learn Portuguese to run phpBB. Mas, fue um artigo otimo!
Hey Daniel,
That is a killer list you put together!
I love the graphic you have on the other site. Did you do it yourself?
Chat with you later…
Josh
Great! an awesome post over here. I really agree with those points and they got to work.
I can see that they all seems to be killer articles..
Thanks for sharing.
Regards
I have to admit that you shared a lot in this post. Once I have created a mind map for my friend to tell him how to increase traffic on his blog and I have kept it as a secret till now
But this post has stimulated me to publish it on my SEO blog. I will do it soon, thanks for this information packed post.
I’m a fan of number 30. Reviews are a great way to get in among peers and also gather extra traffic, while maybe making extra money as well.
Thanks. This is really amazing list. And needs time to analyze it but your summed it up really good
Hey Daniel,
Awesome Post man. Some Brilliant Tips there.
launching a traffic or voting contest works amazing.
Btw. The design of the ‘howtomakeawebsite’ looks awesome.
Thanks for sharing this great Post.
~Dev
This list is amazing. Bookmarked.
A quick question, why didn’t you mention creating a “mini-net”. I believe it is completely white-hat and is effective. But I am rather new to SEO and traffic generation, so please correct me if I am wrong.
Howdy Daniel
I just looked at your entire list on your other site..I must say you put a lot of time in getting these step together. Good Stuff
“TrafficColeman “Signing Off”
Thanks for the post. We must put it between all webmasters hands
Other similar bloggers with related niche such as earn money blogging and building traffic to your site, welcome the idea such as yours. But the details are little bit hazy as of the moment. This is also one way to promote your site. Great tips you have here.
You have done well with this list and tips. it’s goes to show you have time on your hand to pen all that down. well, i know this will be useful to young bloggers.
Nice post!
Woah, that pretty much covered everything did’nt it.
It seems the website is still under work. Could’nt miss the Lorem Ipsum latin text on the sidebar.
Thanks for sharing this Daniel. You’ve really provided awesome post about traffic generation, those are powerful methods that anyone can apply!
Regards,
Gary
Hi Daniel,
I liked your article but I don’t think that April fool prank may not work for the new bloggers. But if a blog has been constantly providing quality content then their readers would accept the prank as fun, but on the other hand if it is from a newbie they’ll consider his as a scam and treat his prank as his shameless way of promotion. What do you think?
Providing free 100 ways to get traffic is really a great effort and very much appreciative! I just had a glance at that post and it looks neat with some points having images that reflects the Traffic tip. But did this quote recalled at the time of writing ‘Too much or too little is…. ‘?
Hi Daniel,
That’s some killer content right there. I’ve tweeted and posted this to our Facebook page – if you’d ever been interested in doing a guest post on our blog, we’d love to have you.
Best,
Patrick @ CityMax.com
100 points are too much to study in one day. I will save these for future time. Some of them are what I see everywhere in “how to make money” kind of blog.
Hi Daniel
Thought that you were kidding but a hundred it is.
The definitive list.
Right I’d better get staerted.
Number 1…..
Man, Out of the box Methods are hilarious!
And the subtle tip you demonstrate here (which might be reflected in the hundred)
* Write a great post delivering content on a site already generating some traffic that refers and links to a larger article on another site, so that people check out two sites with “one” click!
Thanks for taking the time to write out two great posts!
Well pretty nice, after reading article its make sense that yeah i will get traffic through these ways.
So which way is yours favourite one … would you like to share ?
OK, it’s going to take a while to digest this list.
With the contests, how are you supposed to increase your traffic with one if you don’t have much traffic to begin with?
If you are having problem in digestion … than do not eat it whole …
Eat it in part … digest and than go for other bite ( I mean other part of the list)
i saw the list and its impressive, thumbs UP!!!
I might have a few points to add too..But I’ll do that by publishing my own post on 100 ways to get traffic.
Great tips from this 100 – As i read through it – there are many tips that i can incorporate to make my website draw in more visitors ..thanks you very much Daniel
I can’t wait to read the entire 100 ways.
This article is a masterpiece Daniel Socco.
You have done the world a great service to give such a wonderful gift. So much useful information!
Sometimes as a marketer and just starting out, you really forget some of the strategy to use to bring color to your website.
This article is really a book. I’m downloading it and taking it to lunch!
Love you!
Thelma Harcum
