Getting traffic to your site is key, you can’t make money online if nobody even sees your page right? Well this is a problem a lot of webmasters face when trying to make money online. Getting traffic can prove to be a task within itself, there are so many ways of approaching it where do you start? Well for free advertising there are several approaches, one being word of mouth, talk to friends and family but let’s be realistic that doesn’t make you money you want customers not just visitors.

Well the first place you can go is free classified sites, go and post an ad for free some sites will let the ad run for 30 days, some even 90 days. Search “top ten classified sites” on Google and post free ads on those sites as much as you can, those will you give you a lot of exposure but for maximum results just keep going to new classified sites and just keep posting ads as often as you can. Tedious as this can be in the long run it will pay off tremendously if you do this on a daily basis, most classifieds let you post up to 5 free ads or more, you sign up to 2 sites a day, posting 5 ads per site, each day in 30 day month. Now you’ve got 300 ads roaming the Internet all pointing to your site for free. This will make you a lot of money online with out having to spend a dime.

Another great way to get lots of free traffic is forums, you can post on forums and talk about your site and it’s service or what product you offer, of course not all forums will let you do this to find them just type free “your keyword” forum on Google or any search engine. Become an active member in the forum, forums are like community’s and they can get you a lot of exposure. Don’t just sign up to one, sign up to 5 and post as often as possible. The good thing about posting on forums besides the free traffic is you build a high quality one way back-link to your site that’s permanent! The more you post on these forums and the higher the PR (page rank) of these forums are the higher you move up in rank in the search engines, unlike the classified ads that eventually will be taken off the links pointing to your site on the forums are permanent making you easier to find on the Internet due to the forums high ranking. Doing both of the above consistently over time will bring thousands of daily visitors, you can make a lot of money online using these techniques

Writing articles is a great craft because you submit them to article sites, whats so great about articles sites? Well 2 things, they both rank high in PR (page rank) usually around 6 which is a very good PR. Secondly like forums the links are permanent, but even better their more valuable since the article sites PR is so high. Now your in the big leagues. The other 2 over time will just bring you thousands of daily visitors but doing all three mainly this one (writing articles) will get you at the top, I mean 12,000-15,000 visitors daily but you have to be consistent and in due time your PR will increase dramatically. It can vary, people can get a high PR doing just these 3 things and in 18 months have a PR of 5 which is very impressive. Making money online won’t be a problem once you reach this stage.

You have to be consistent. Now to really be successful at writing the article, write with proper grammar, follow the guidelines of the article site your submitting to and write quality content. Don’t write a paragraph about meaningless things. If you write well then other people will take your writings and put them on their site that’s another quality back-link for you. Just by submitting to the article site you will have a high quality back-link to your site, but if you write well then you will have back-links to the article site AND hundreds of more sites that copied your article with your link to their site. This is because when you submit to articles sites you agree to let it be republished as long as your given credit for it, nothing is modified, and your link back to your site is included. (as well as submit articles, article in these article sites are republished as content to other people who want them as long as credit is given as stated above etc.)

Do all three of the above tips and in just over a year you can be ranking high for the keyword or niche of your website or blog. Making money online with out having to pay for a dime ever.

Why would you want to increase your Alexa rank?

Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank as a gauge to determine the worth of a link on your website. If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you’ll definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it’ll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.

ReviewMe, TextLinkAds and Sponsored Reviews are just three of the networks which base your ad selling strength on Alexa Ranks.

Problems with the Alexa Rank

Alexa ranking is heavily skewed towards websites which have a large webmaster/tech audience. This is because webmasters or web savvy audiences are much more likely to have the Alexa toolbar installed than websites whose visitors are unaware of Alexa.

As such, many have indicated that Alexa is a vastly inaccurate method of measuring a website’s reach, traffic and potential. I don’t disagree.

Alexa is a silly way to measure web traffic but unfortunately, in an imperfect world Alexa is still heavily used by webmasters and ad networks when measuring the value of advertising on your website.

I understand the defects of Alexa’s ranking system and I’m not going to go into more detail about it here. What’s primarily important to me is that the Alexa Rank has become a central element in site monetization strategies.

I’m not concerned with the utility and value of Alexa but it’s perceived importance in the eyes of potential advertisers.

How do I get started with Alexa?

There are two easy ways to start using Alexa. If you are using Internet Explorer, visit this page and download the Alexa Toolbar. If you’re using Firefox, download the SearchStatus extension which displays the Alexa Rank, Google PageRank as well as other useful features.

I highly recommend that you use Firefox and SearchStatus instead of Alexa toolbar, which I find to be more bulky and less useful.
