How does a person drive traffic to their website?

I'm new to marketing and have no idea how to get traffic to my website. I'm not getting anywhere fast trying to earn money from home. If there is a simple book teaching just how to do this or a website then I would like to know. Thank you for your help.

Submit your site to search engines

A person may drive traffic to their website thru the following means

Search Engine Optimization
Pay Per Click Search Engines
Ezines
Safe Lists
Social Networking Sites
Popular Online Classifieds

The most control that one can have over their website traffic is to have a mailing list.

You could use traffic to help build your own mailing list for a given market by giving away something of value free.

If you have a website already up and operational, the following article may be worthwhile.

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.

Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.

You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.

Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or
DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.

A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.

Placement of Metatags:

A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic
terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

The second metatag is the "Description" which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one's goods and services.

And the very last category - "Keywords" are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.

Good luck!

Hi There,

Like previous posts say, there's no simple ansower or book to teach you this. Search Engine Marketing or Search Engine Optmiization is the way to go. Getting your site ranking in the Search Engines will get traffic to your site, and in order to do that, there are many pieces to the puzzle.

For example, having the right keywords, without "stuffing", having meta tags/titles/descriptions, having a content rich site. There are many steps to the process.

I paid for 10000 hits from a site, never got em'. but, I've been doing this link referral thing. and it drives about 50 hits a day, its free unless you want a better membership. but, I've been doing it for years, I've made a good commission a couple times. it defiantly helps

Your question and your answer is not going to be simple - sorry to burst your bubble. If you were just trying to get traffic to your site, then you could do a lot of stuff. But you said you are marketing a website and trying to earn money from home. That means you need to take it seriously. Which means there's no "simple book" answer. Because fortune 500 companies spend millions a year promoting their websites. Google makes billions a year. The Internet is big business.

Now that your bubble is burst, here are some ways to increase traffic:
- search engine advertising
- search engine optimization
- banner ads
- tell people about it on forums, blogs, myspace, etc. (this is untargeted meaning you get traffic but not necessarily the traffic you want)
- press releases
- write articles
- tagging like Digg, Technorati, etc - if you have written articles

But first you should read up on Internet marketing. Do a search in Google for Internet marketing, SEO, website promotion, etc.
