Business Top Ten Lists by Paulie Sabol

How to have more website traffic to help you business get a presence online.

10. Consider joining or creating a safe list for your niche. The idea of a safe list is it's decidedly opt in and more of a community. In the community there are posting rules, however, the posting rules enable advertising/promotion.

9. Like blogs naturally do, set up a blog or a website to allow people to read some of your better articles or ideas without having to opt in, accept cookies or give any personal information.

8. Consider offering items that allow you to assess the skill level of your visitor. For example, give away software and/or monitor the times when people download things like Adobe Acrobat Reader (making you the first source of .pdf files).

7. Use ethical bribes to get good link backs from high traffic sites with the same theme or prospect as yours. Link backs are when other sites refer to yours as a source for expertese. For example, consider offering a site an exclusive article reprint in exchange for a link back.

6. It's wise to ask your past customers and ideal prospects what were you can improve, what you should be offering, etc. And while asking them, be sure to ask them to "invite a friend." Viral traffic is smart traffic. (Even consider an affiliate program where people are rewarded financially to refer.)

5. Keep changing your landing page (home page) and your content. Offer different things and keep the free or nearly free bonuses coming.

4. Plan your marketing activity, promotion, advertising, public relations, etc. Plan it with daily actions, monthly / quarterly traffic goals, and a yearly budget.

3. Give people many ordering options. Include things like paypal links even if you're like me and find it confusing and counter-intuitive.

2. Use testimonals on your website. Make them highly credible by including a digital photo, a digital "signature", audio or video recordings, and contact information. Oh, and definetly use a full name none of this "Paulie's Blog is Great" B.F. --Egypt

1.The number one way is original content. Frankly this surprised me. I guess content is still king and original content is supreme.
