Traffic to your website or blog is essential. In addition, you want that traffic to be relevant to what you have to offer. If you want to take your website or blog traffic to the next level, perhaps even viral, you’ll want to implement these 6 traffic techniques that have been proven to work.

1. Give away something free – people love freebies. Of course, whatever you decide to give away should have value. In other words, don’t give away some useless or trashy item because that’s going to turn people off.

2. Ensure quality – you need to make sure that you are offering quality content, products, and services. This will ensure you build a healthy reputation as a website people want to visit. If people are happy with what you offer, they will tell their friends and family, and it will spread from there. 

3. Write an e-book or report – offer free an e-book or report that can be downloaded free. Your e-book or report should provide the reader with relevant information and offer value, while at the same time you should invite them to offer your free gift on their website. People will be happy to promote it, if there is value there.

4. Create a video – one of the quickest ways to go viral is with a good video. Create your video and then post it up on YouTube. Make sure that it’s fresh and will catch the attention of those using YouTube. Don’t repeat what another person’s done already. Get creative. Think about the videos that have previously gone viral and work from there. Be prepared to see a lot of traffic coming to your website.

5. Social Bookmarking – There are tons of great social bookmarking sites like Del.ico.us, Digg, or Stumble Upon. If you get a post of yours onto these sites, people vote and rate it. Something good and your ranking will go up and that will generate more traffic to your site.

6. Run a Contest – People love contests, especially if the prize is good. The prize should be relevant to your business and it should also be something good. This is a great way to get tons of exposure and see your message reach far. Enjoy the tons of traffic that are generated.

These 6 traffic techniques will take your traffic to the next level. So get busy and start implementing them.
