Below are 70 ways to get more traffic to your website.
Table of Contents:
1. Find A Profitable Niche

Before your get started learning and executing all these proven ways to increase traffic to your website you might want to stop and think if you are even focusing on the right niche.
There are some niches which do not attract much interest and therefore not much profit.
Really analyze what niche you are promoting and see if you might not have some expertise in another area which could bring in more visitors and sales and maybe have less competition.
One of my niches is the digital marketing niche. Which, actually is not the best.
If I had a knack for video games, doing make up videos, fitness and/or extreme fishing, or if I could pull off promoting myself boxing Jake Paul, I probably would get more traffic without knowing much at all about all these marketing techniques.
More people are interested in watching Jake Paul beat up some retired MMA star than learning about the intricacies of seo and traffic generation. However, I am already making money with digital marketing, I like it, so I persist.
But if you really have not invested fully in your niche yet, Definitely look carefully at your niche. The “make money from home” niche is one that attracts quite a few people initially. And you CAN make money with this niche. I have.
However, it also is not the best because 99% of the people who are in this niche quit.
Say you wanted to start making money online and you were an expert bass fisherman. You might consider creating an online course about your fishing expertise and passion rather than going after some make money quick scheme.
You could study digital marketing and apply your expertise to a niche which interests more people (including you), and one that has less competition.
Because with the digital marketing niche you are competing with black belts in marketing. Other fisherman most likely are not expert digital marketers. Food for thought!
2. Create A Memorable Brand

Think carefully about your brand. Do you have a name which is easy to remember and let’s people know exactly what you are about?
Do you have to spell your domain name or can you just tell somebody the name of your
website and they immediately remember it?
Google does not have to spend money on advertising. Their name and brand alone has invaded the conciousness of everyone in the planet.
You want to become a household name in your industry.
Can You Just Tell Somebody Your Domain Name or Do
You Have to Spell it For Them?
Having an easily identifiable brand can make the task of branding your brand in the brains of your prospect more realistic.
When I look at the analytics of my website ElyWholesale.com, a very popular bulk closeout site, often people search for the name of my site.
They are typing into Google search "Bulk Wholesale", "Wholesale Closeouts" or they are typing in my actual brand name into Google. (Ely Wholesale)
If You Have a Popular Brand People Will Actually Type Your Brand Into Search to Find You. If your brand is big enough you do not have to spend anything on advertising. Having a focused, easily identifiable brand is an extremely effective way to increase your website traffic.

3. Have A Great Offer

Having all the website traffic in the world will do you no good at all if your offer is not 1st rate. Conversely if your offer is top notch and gives your customers great value then you do not need as much traffic to convert this traffic into sales.
If You Have an Outstanding Offer You Do Not Need to Spend As Much on Advertising. Because More of Your Traffic Will Convert
In addition, having visitors stay on your website and search other pages as well as sharing your content will increase your visibility in the search engines.
One of the criteria Google uses to judge your site is how long people stay on your site and if they visit other pages on your website.

4. Write Amazing Headlines

The headline is the first part of your ad copy that anybody sees. If your headline does not grab the attention of your reader immediately and get them to read your content your message will never be seen.
This goes for blog posts, classified ads, videos or press releases. The first thing your prospect sees is your headline. If it does not grab them and get them to click they will never see your offer!
Your Headline Is The First Thing Your Reader Sees. It Had Better Grab Their Attention or They Will Never Even See Your Content!

5. Become A Skilled Copywriter 

This is similar to tip #3 "Have a Great Offer." Not only do you have to have a great offer, you have to SELL it. Learning to become a great copywriter will convert more visitors to sales or to take action.
Enticing your reader to take action is the goal of having more website traffic.
Having compelling ad copy will also make your content more shareable on social media, giving you additional traffic. Great headlines and copy maximize the potential of each visitor.

6. Build A YouTube Channel

YouTube is the #2 search engine after Google and is owned by Google. YouTube videos get ranked in video search and in the main Google listings quite quickly. Regularly creating original video content which help your followers solve problems in your niche is one of the best ways to build a consistent flow of organic traffic. You can put links to your websites and social media channels in the descriptions. Try to embed a video on all of your blog posts and most of your web pages. Web pages with videos get ranked favorably and quickly in Google. You are missing out on massive amounts of traffic by neglecting video marketing.
7. YouTube Ads

The cost of YouTube ads is based on views. Each view can cost between $0.10 and $0.30
Keywords are less expensive on YouTube than on with Google Adwords pay per click advertising.
Traditional Google Adwords ppc averages between $1-$2. per click on your ad.
Video Discovery Ads - Video Discovery YouTube ads are displayed on the YouTube homepage, search results pages and as related videos.
TrueView In-Stream Ads (Skippable Ads)
Advertisers only pay when viewers watch at least 30 seconds and/or interact with the video ad by clicking a call to action button.
Non-Skippable In-Stream Ads– These YouTube video ads play before, during or after
another video. Viewers cannot skip the ad. The video needs to be between 5-15 seconds and
they must view the entire message.
8. TikTok Advertising

TikTok is known as a platform especially popular with kids. The network is reaching a larger and larger demographic. TikTok has surpassed 1 billion users. The adult audience over 18 is now over 825 million people worldwide. If you are advertising to younger adults, and in particular women TikTok could be a good match for your campaign.
Tik Tok’s biggest audience is the United States with over 120 million people. TikTok is also very popular in the Middle East and Asia. If you still think TikTok is just for kids, you’re missing out on an important social media advertising option for your brand.
9. Find High Traffic YouTube Videos and Offer to Pay

Many, maybe even most people make YouTube videos for fun and to share information.
They are really not focused on making money. Some of these videos will have huge amounts of views.
You can direct message the owners of these channels and offer to pay them for a link in The Description. Up to you to be creative with this one.
10. Re-Targeting YouTube Ads

With Google and YouTube can actually market people who have already visited your website and viewed your YouTube channel. You create audiences based on Google Analytics and you can market people who have shown some interest but most likely have not purchased yet. Actually 98% of people who visit your site probably have not purchased. This is the average! Often re-marketing is less expensive and more rewarding than targeting cold prospects.
11. Start Your Own Automatic Follow Up Newsletter

Millions of dollars are made with email marketing. Email marketing is extremely effective and very relevant. I suggest getting an email follow up system like Aweber and start putting up sign up forms all over your websites and blogs. As an incentive for people to join your list you can offer an email course, free software and/or a free ebook. I consider having your own email newsletter one of the best ways to
increase traffic to your website.
12. Safelists Safelists do not work for the simple fact that people only click through your email to grab their credits. They do not care about your product, service or website. They only sit through the advertisement to gain the credits to start emailing more people and the process begins again.
13. Solo Ads...Solo ads can be both good and bad depending on how they are used and the quality of the vendor you choose; they can be an effective way to quickly generate leads for your email list, but if not executed properly, can lead to poor results and wasted money due to potentially low-quality traffic.
14. Use 404 Pages to Collect Email Addresses

Using 404 pages to build an email list can be a good strategy as it allows you to turn a potentially frustrating user experience into an opportunity to capture leads by offering value even when a visitor lands on a broken link; however, it's crucial to approach it thoughtfully and ensure the 404 page design is user-friendly and provides clear incentives to sign up for your email list. 
Why it can be good:
Turn a negative into a positive:
When someone hits a 404 page, they're already in a slightly frustrated state, so offering them a helpful solution like signing up for your email list can be perceived as a positive gesture. 
Engage with lost visitors:
By providing a custom 404 page with a clear call-to-action to join your email list, you can still engage with users who might otherwise leave your site immediately. 
Promote valuable content:
Use the 404 page to highlight relevant blog posts, exclusive offers, or other content that could entice users to subscribe for future updates.
15. Exchange Solo Ads With Synergistic Businesses

It's hard to find a good solo ads. As you know most of them are abused and saturated and also managed or run by people with little to no marketing skills. Some are even scams. I have long ditched that aspect of traffic. Focus on building a list it's far advantageous.

16. Email Signatures Getting traffic does not have to be complicated. How many personal emails do you send out per day? Why not include an email signature with a concise description and a link to your website in all your outgoing personal emails?
If you send out 10 normal personal emails per day that comes to 300 per month.

17. Reverse Advertising Reverse marketing may sound like a contrary approach to promoting your brand, but it’s actually a powerful and effective strategy that can help you attract your audience, rather than chasing them down.
It’s all about sparking interest in your brand and drawing your audience towards you, rather than actively promoting your brand and pursuing your audience. The "reverse" angle comes in by flipping a traditional marketing message on its head, and hence drawing more attention, but without misleading or lying about the product or service you sell.
18. Get A List of Very Targeted Prospects and Contact Them One by One or by Email and Phone Cold Calling
Cold calling is a tough way to go but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Your will
surprised how much you learn though.

19. Manually Post Classified Ads There are literally 1000’s of classified ad sites out there. You can manually post ads on all of them if you wish. The problem with manually posted ads is that it is time consuming and tedious. Fortunately there are solutions. There is software which automatically will post your ads for you.
20. Use Automatic Ad Posting Software to Post 1000’s of Classified Ads Osclass Submitter is one of the best automatic ad submission software. It posts to 26 high
traffic classified ad sites on autopilot. Learn more about Osclass Submitter here.
There is also free ad submission software available. This software has some limitations
when compared to Osclass Submitter but you can still submit quite a few ads and it is way
better than posting ads manually.
You can download free ad submission software here.
21. Use A Classified Ad Posting Service And Let Them Do All The Work For You 

1. The most time efficient option for posting classified ads is to use a Classified Ad
Submission Service. Here is what you get with Classifiedsubmissions.com ad posting service:
2. Your ad posted on 1000’s of Classified Ad Pages Monthly.
3. 30 Ads Upgraded, Highlighted, in Bold and placed in rotation in Premium Section of sections of 30 ad sites which is located on the home page and at the top of your category. A $150. value.

5. Your text ad permanently and prominently placed in rotation on every page of 30 high traffic ad sites.
6. Your full page ad displayed for a minimum of 15 seconds in rotation every time ad posters log into 30 high traffic ad sites.
22. Start Your Own Affiliate Program

Running your own affiliate program can be a huge winner for you. Having an army of affiliates working for you 24/7 for commission only is a extremely effective technique for generating cost effective traffic. You only pay if your affiliates make sales. You will need either affiliate management software that you host on your own web server or you will need to register your product or services with an affiliate network. A simpler option to running your own affiliate program is to use an affiliate network like Wishup or Clickbank will handle payments and payouts to your affiliates. The BEST $$$ MAKER BY FAR IS Wishup This is much easier and
simpler for you but you have less control.
23. Pay Per View (PPV Traffic)

PPV Traffic stands for pay per view traffic. You simply pay for traffic from an established traffic network.
Usually how this works is that traffic network companies give away software or manage websites with 1000’s of visitors. You are paying for full page views of your website on their network.
There is usually some kind of keyword targeting available. However, this keyword targeting
will not be quite as accurate as Google Adwords.
The advantage is that pay per view traffic is way less expensive than PPC traffic from Google.
PPV Traffic is Less Targeted Than Expensive PPC Traffic, But You Get More Views For Less

24. Google Adwords

Highly targeted quality pay per click traffic. You pay every time somebody clicks on your ad. Be careful you can really end up spending big money quickly with pay per click traffic. It is important to learn how to optimize your campaign.
25. Bing Advertising

Bing is Microsoft’s version of Google Adwords. Bing has 23% of the search market which is huge. Most people think, of course, of Google as their first advertising choice. However, smart marketers might want to take a look at Bing.
Bing Has 23% of Search Market, Less Advertising Competition and Cost per click is 33%-42% less than Adwords. Bing Advertising works on the same pay per click principle as Google Adwords. If your keywords are very competitive then you will pay more.
26. Facebook Ads In 2024 the younger generations can be found on Instagram and TikTok. However, for the age group of 25-54, a majority of these users will spend up to 50 minutes each day on Facebook.
Facebook is still the biggest social media company in the world. In 2021 the average cost per action is $18.68 which means advertising on Facebook has become even more expensive. 26% of users make purchases after clicking a Facebook ad. Mobile ads were 94% of Facebook’s advertising revenue. So make sure you include mobile ads as a major part of
your campaign.27. Twitter Advertising While TikTok is having explosive growth with young adults Twitter (Re-Branded As X)is dominating conversation reaching the 30-49 year old demographic. Twitter had over 187 million active daily user accounts. You can run several type of ads with Twitter. Promoted Accounts and Follower Ads- This type of advertising promotes your entire account as opposed to a specific Tweet. Promoted Tweets- These tweets show up in search results, timelines and user profiles.  With Promoted Trends you can promote targeting a trend.28. Linkedin Ads Linkedin audience is targeted to business professionals. It is especially suited for B2B sales. You should ask yourself the question “Would a professional with a regular 9-5 job be interested in my service or product? Linkedin ads offer several types of ads: Sidebar Ads– These are small text based square ads. Sponsored Content– These are similar to Facebook feed ads. They show up in Linkedin feeds.
Sponsored Messaging– Targeted private messaging.
29. Instagram Ads Almost 30% of users discover new brands, products and services through paid advertising on social networks Instagram reaches a staggering 1.2 billion people. This translates to 20% of the world’s population over the age of 13.
Instagram ads are similar to Facebook ads that the ads appear throughout the app and in the user’s feeds Explore, and Stories. They resemble regular organic posts, however, they always have a “sponsored” tag to indicate that the post is actually advertising. These paid posts will also have call to action buttons, links and even product catalogs.
The Cost Of Instagram Ads: Cost depends of targeting, time of year, the competitiveness of your niche and whether you are placing your ads on Facebook or Instagram.
30. Reddit Advertising Reddit is the 7th most visited website in the US. Reddit tends to have a younger
audience in the 18-29 year old range. Here are some options you have when advertising on Reddit:
Brand awareness (CPM)
Traffic (CPC)
Conversions (CPC)
App Installs (CPC)
Video Views (CPV)
31. Build a Large Audience on Social Media By Posting Free Content Creating a large social media following within your niche should be your priority.
You should be constantly posting valuable information that would be of interest to your
audience. Of course you should be syndicating all your content for free on all your social media
channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Gettr, YouTube, TicToc, Instagram, and Rumble. Make sure to completely fill out your profiles on all these platforms with well written keyword rich description and links, wherever possible, back to your websites.
32. Use Social Share Buttons Include social media share buttons on your websites and blogs. Make it's easy for people to share your content. Sharethis is a site that I use for social media share buttons. You can use these buttons on regular html websites or blogs.
33. Respond to All Your Comments In this impersonal world of online marketing people love to be recognized and treated as individuals. Make sure to respond to all your comments. They will get notifications and will come back to your content and will be more likely to share your content. If they believe they have some sort of relationship with you they will also be more likely to open your emails.
34. Create List Posts Blogging is an excellent long term strategy to increase traffic to your website. You can also use blogging in conjunction with other types of traffic generation techniques such as video and email marketing. I find that if I have a video embedded into my blog post that it seems to get ranked more favorably in Google and Google video search. Also, YouTube embeds are another metric YouTube uses to rank your YouTube video on YouTube. Combining all these traffic generation methods creates momentum and synergy. Consider doing list posts as well. Readers love them! This is a list post "57 Ways to Increase Traffic to Your Website," "7Ways to Do This," "11 Ways to do That." You get the idea. List posts are easy for people to understand. It organizes the content in easy to digest
bullet points.
35. Reproduce The Most Popular Content in Your Industry Using Multiple Sources- Skyscraper The Skyscraper Technique is a technique invented by Brian Dean of Backlinko for increasing traffic to your website. It works as follows:
1. Find a highly popular blog post or video in your niche.
2. Create and even BETTER version of this content
3. Promote the content
36. Interview and Review Influencers Roundup Technique I highly encourage you to stalk the top influencers in your industry. I have not done
enough of this myself. I'm not talking about hanging out in front of their house. I am suggesting making a list of the top influencers in your industry. Then immerse yourself in their material. You can even take some of their top blog posts and review them with your own blog post, video or podcast. If they suggest certain techniques, do them yourself and report on
the results. If the top influencers have products or services review them and let the influencer know
about the review. Just using their names in the your text and headlines can attract targeted visitors.
There is a technique called the Roundup Technique. This is where you interview top experts in your industry, usually asking them similar questions, and then you report on the responses.
37. Answer And Ask Questions Using Quora Quora is a question an answer site. You can post questions and answers. You can look for topics that relate to your niche. You can includes links and even videos in your answers. For example, I could look for Quora topics on how to get traffic to your website and include some tips from this blog post. I could then include a link back to this blog post for more tips. The idea is first to offer value then at the end include a relevant link or video. Here is an excellent video by John Crestani on How to Advertise on Quora

38. Syndicate Your Content on Medium Medium is simply a place where you can place your content. Medium is for writers. It is a place to put original, quality articles about your subject. It is not about postIng ads. So your content has to be original and informative. If you have your own blog with original content you can syndicate your content on Medium.
The advantage of having your content on Medium is that it tends to rank well on Google because the domain is of a very high quality.
39. Include Hashtags in Your Posts A hashtag is just a keyword phrase, spelled out without any spaces and with a pound sign (#) in front of it. For example, #websitetraffic and #payperclick. You can put these hashtags at the beginning middle or at the end of your social media post. People search topics by actual hashtags and this can help searchers find your post
according to the hashtag topic.
40. Use Analytics to Find Profitable Long Tail Keywords Long tail keywords are multi-word searches such as “Brazilian Miami Personal Attorney Near Coral Gables Specializing in Motorcycle Accidents.” It would be much easier to rank for that string of keywords than simply “Miami Personal Injury Attorney.” Most likely you could write one article, or create one YouTube video with that exact title and come up first in that search every time simply because there are less people competing for those keywords.
41. Press Releases You can create and submit a Press Release to sites like PR.com. You can learn how to write a press release here. 
42. Claim Expired Tumblr Blogs Tumblr is a high ranking social media site focused on blogs. There are many blogs that are already ranked for your keywords on Tumblr but they have expired. 

You can claim these Tumblr usernames, create your own blogs using these pre-ranked blogs and benefit from the traffic. There is software called “Expired Tumblr Hunter” that you can use to find expired Tumblr blogs that are ranked for your keywords. 

43. Create Slideshare Presentations You can create pdf files which essentially are word files that you convert to pdf. Then upload them to document sharing sites like Slideshare.net. These sites generally get ranked in search quite easily. If visitors click on the links you get traffic! 
44. Fully Optimize Wordpress Categories In wordpress you can put full detailed keyword rich descriptions of your categories. This can only help bring more traffic to your blog or website. Imagine having all your categories with keyword rich descriptions.
45. Content Relaunch Strategy Do you have any videos or articles that you created that were big hits a few years ago? How about updating that content with new timely information and relaunch the successful
campaign again? This is a great way to revive relevant content and attract new traffic to your website!
46. Create the Most Awesome FAQ Section For Your Industry and Create Videos for all the FAQ What are people looking for mainly when they use search? Answers to questions. Solutions to problems. What if you created the ultimate FAQ section for your industry on your website. Then every time somebody would search for an answer to a question regarding your industry they will come upon your knowledgeable answers! It is easier than you think to create a FAQ section using Google Answer Box and “People Also Ask” sections of Google. You can keep opening up more questions and answers by clicking the little down arrows. This should give you plenty of material. If you run out look at the FAQ sections of
your top competitors.
47. Create An Awesome Resource Page What tools and services are you using for your business? You can create a resources page discussing all the tools and resources you use for your business. Just Like This One You're Reading Right Now! This is a valuable resource for followers in your niche and can easily get ranked in Google for the various keywords associated with your services and resources.
48. Mass Submit Infographics Images can bring traffic to your website from social media sites like Pinterest, Instagram as well as from Google image search. You can create an informative infographic regarding your business and share it on various social media platforms.
49. Write Reviews and Testimonials of Products in Your Niche & Let The Website Know They Can Link Back If you have products or services that you use all the time why not do an in depth video review of these services? This can attract even more traffic to your website including giving you more credibility.
Be sure to let the owners of the products and services know about the review. Perhaps they can even link back in their resources sections.

52. Incorporate Trends Can you somehow incorporate the latest trends with your business somehow? Big
companies do it all the time with their virtue signaling. Well if it is good enough for them why not get some action for yourself. See what is trending
and see if you can bring this together with your business.
53. Create or Participate in a 30-Day Challenge If you sell any type of problem-solving product, course, or service, then you know there's one big obstacle we all face: Motivating customers to TAKE ACTION! Most people get excited when they first see a solution that will help them tackle their biggest issues. They download the e-book, sign up for the course, buy the video series…. and take the first action. But motivation starts to sputter out as day-to-day life intrudes or results are slow to come. That's where running some type of 30 day challenge can have a huge impact on success. And not just the success of your customers, but also the growth of your business. Get The FREE Info Here.

54. Publicity Stunts Are you ready to do something outrageous? Here are some publicity stunts that actually worked.
55. Do Charity Work Many times charity events are looking for lots to give or auction away. Do you have a service or product you could donate? These events generally get written up in articles in major local publications and these highly ranked media stay live for years. This can be a great credibility builder as well as traffic generation technique. Keep your eyes open for opportunities.
56. Referral Marketing Referral marketing is simply asking customers to refer you without offering a specific commission. Ask people if they “Do you know anybody who might need xxx product or service?”
Ask potential referrers for “their opinion” about your products. Then follow up by asking if they know anybody who might benefit from your services.
Reviews. Ask your current customers to review you on Google and other directories. You can also install a Tell a Friend Script on Your Website.
57. Create Your Own Business Directory Depending on your business model you can create your own business directory in your niche. For example if you were a personal injury attorney you could create a directory of personal injury attorneys. Yes, you would be advertising your competition but you can put your ad as the featured #1 personal injury attorney in your area. The other listings from your competition will be there and will be improving the ranking of your site. This is because there are searchers actually putting in the name of your competition in Google. When they do. YOUR directory will appear featuring your ad at the top as the number 1 ranked personal injury lawyer in your area. You can do this for almost any niche. Creating authority sites in your niche can deliver long term highly targeted traffic and bring awareness to your brand.
58. Start Your Own Traffic Exchange There are preset scripts already created that you can set up and start your own traffic exchange. People come to your site to exchange traffic and they can see your offers when they do. Also this can be a great business on it’s own and a way to build up your own email list. Here are some traffic exchange scripts that are already created and ready to install.
59. Start Your Own Forum Why not have a portal and become the hub where people interested in your niche come to discuss your topic? You can have your advertisements in the header and sidebar of the site.
Forums attract an enormous amount of targeted traffic. The downside is that you MUST moderate the forum to make sure there is no spam. However, this can become a valuable property that you could even sell eventually on a site like Flippa. The most popular forum software is Vbulletin. This is paid software. However, there is a free forum software called PHPBB forum software which is very popular.
60. Start Your Own Safelist/Viral Mailer Similar to starting your own Traffic Exchange you can also start your own Safelist. A safelist is simply a list that people join and agree to receive each other’s emails.
Often readers are incentivized to click on links and will credits towards getting traffic to their links by clicking the links of others. You can charge monthly membership fees and for various upgrades. There are pre-existing php scripts that you can install on your server to run the software. You will probably need a vps server.
