With over 300 million web sites on the internet promoting
your web site can be a challenge. For most niche markets
you just need a certain amount of traffic to make your site
profitable. However, for most people that are new to
internet marketing they suffer from information overload
and actually never get going. If they only focused on one
technique to drive a lot of traffic to their web site they
would probably succeed.

In this article I would like to share some advanced
techniques that will help you to get started online.

1) Research your keywords

Once you have decided on your niche market you need to use
a keyword tool like Wordtracker to find high traffic
keywords that you can target with little or no competition.
If you get this step right then you will build a web site
that will receive free search engine traffic from these
keywords.

2) Write and submit articles to directories

This will be the solid foundation on how your traffic will
be built. Do some keyword research and write articles for
your niche market including these keywords in your title so
that your articles will be found by search engines. Submit
them to the major article directories. This will give you
lots of backlinks and as other web sites publish them you
will gain additional links increasing your link popularity
and your search engine rankings.

3) Post to forums

Find high traffic forums related to your niche market and
make quality posts there. Include a signature with a link
to your website. You will demonstrate that you are an
expert in your market and the links to your web site will
also improve your search engine rankings.
