Well, last time I’ve posted about using social sites like StumbleUpon can help you increase your blog traffic. You can read it here if you don’t know what is StumbleUpon, Tips To Increase Traffic. Yes, StumbleUpon or simply SU can bring you lots of traffic. But how? There are a lot of people who joined SU and hope to have tons of traffic flow to their site, but in the end they got no traffic at all.

So what are the tips and guides for you to generate tons of traffic from SU? I’ll assume that you have a SU account and you do know how it works. If you don’t, then please read Tips To Increase Traffic. Frankly, I’ve been using SU to increase my traffic for quite some time now. In the beginning, I don’t really get much traffic from SU, I get the traffic only for 1 or 2 days from SU. But now I receive quite a lot of traffic from SU, and of course, I’m going to tell you exactly how.

1. Join SU Discussion
What I mean here is you have to join those SU discussion out there. With this, you can let other people stumble your site, in exchange you will have to stumble other people’s site. It works like some kind of ’stumble exchange’. Just like for Technorati, you favorite me and I favorite you. The same concept goes for SU. Look for these kind of discussion in forums or any discussion board.

Do this everytime you’ve publish a new post. Let people stumble your new post. And don’t stumble your own site. Sorry that I cannot tell you any forum discussion or any board discussion where they have this StumbleUpon exchange, this is because it is not the right ethical to exchange stumbles. You will have to find out this for yourself.

2. Increase Your Mutual Friends
This is another very important task to do if you want to have lots of traffic from SU. The maximum numbers of friend in SU is 200, you must keep on looking for friends. When you have lots of mutual friends in SU, the traffic you can generate from SU will be huge. I know that it is not possible for you to have 200 friends in just one day. Even you can add all you want, but they not necessarily will add you back. Here is the hard part. You will have to figure out some way to increase your mutual friends.

My advice is, keep on messaging for other stumblers and ask them to add you. And keep on stumble other stumblers, but you must be careful, because you do not want to stumble just for the sake of it. If other ‘pro’ stumblers find out that you are stumbling just for the sake of it, they will leave bad review and stumble you down. This is what you don’t want to.

Therefore, the best way is to send message for other stumblers. If they notice, they will add you back. Use one month to do so, it will be kind of challenging, but its worth it. Leaving reviews also is another great way to increase the number of mutual friends. Remember, stumble everyone of your friends. (*You can stumble other stumblers when you free, however don’t keep on stumbling everyone in a short period of time, you have to stop for awhile. This is because people will know how many stumbles you have gave, and once they see that you are just stumble because you want people to add you, they will ‘warn’ you.)

3. Stumble All The Way
For this tips, it is easy, keep on stumbling, don’t give up and don’t stop. Stumble a lot pages and stumblers, and you will know the results. Give yourself one month time to do all these, and you will slowly see how traffic from SU flows in to your blog.

That’s all, the 3 tips how you can increase tons of traffic from SU alone. I believe that if you follow all the tips here, you can generate lots of traffic from SU. So now you know how you can generate traffic from SU, the more traffic you get, your blog can make more money for you.

Actually, I believe that everyone knows about this method of increasing your traffic. Simple enough, just put up your signature, and write some attractive words, then post some informative posts in the forum and you will get extra traffic.

Yes indeed this is how it works, but lately I’ve come across something that really open up my mind about increasing traffic using forums. Maybe you’ve knew about this, but for some people, they still don’t know this. Well if you have a website or blog to promote. You can go to some highly trafficked forums, just like :

The Warrior Forum
ABestWeb Affiliate Marketing Forum
Digital Point
Conquer Your Niche
Associate Programs
SitePoint

What you will need to do then is to make sure that you have a very seducing and powerful signature. And the best is if you can offer something FREE in your website. The easiest free gift you can create is an eBook. It can be short, simple. A 10 pages or less eBook will be just great. As long as they are free and informative. You can also build up a list to capture email list by using this method.

And now, the final and most important step, this will eat up some of your time to do so. Posting in all the forums mentioned above. Here is the idea, lets say that you make 5 posts everyday at each of the forums above. And for one month, you will have at least 30 x 5 x 6 = 900 posts total. Then assume that each of your posts will have 1 people clicking the link to your website in your signature.

You will have at least a 900 visitors, and what if a percentage of them turn into your subscribers? Maybe 500 of them? And you know what, each post yield 1 visitor is a very conservative calculation. Which means that, if you do this everyday, you can have a 1,000+ visitors after one month and don’t forget about your subscribers too. Amazing result right?

So this is how forums can help you build up your traffic and your list of subscribers. If this is to compare with article marketing, since both of the methods are free, you should go for two if you have the time.

A few posts everyday seem like very few, but through time and continuous effort, you can generate a huge traffic. Success is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Something big is often made up by lots of small thing through time.

Everyone who has a website desires for more traffic. The best is if you can generate 10,000 traffic a day to your site or blog, the more traffic the better, is it so? The answer is no, not necessarily that the more traffic you get the better. It depends on what kind of website that you have. If you want to make money from pay per click ads, then of course the more traffic you can generate the better. But the quality of the traffic also matters, the more targeted traffic, the more click through you can get.

What if you have a website for affiliate programs? Do you prefer to have 10,000 traffic but only two sales or do you prefer to have 5,000 traffic with 5 sales? So you can see now, the quality of traffic is also a very important matter that will affect your online money making campaign. The most serious criteria about traffic is the statistic of your traffic. You need to know where your traffic come from, how you attract all the traffic to your site, how long did they stay in your site and how many of them are returning visitors. Of course there are other important statistic you still need to know about your traffic, but all the above stats are crucial if you want to generate quality traffic to your site.

You must know that traffic building is one of the most important works you need to put effort in if you want to make more money online. Therefore you need to know all the basics of traffic, only then you can control your site traffic. How can you know all these stats? Simply use stat tracker for your site will do. The one that I like to use is StatCounter. It shows’ every statistics that you need to know for your site and it is free to use.

Talking about the quality of traffic, do you know actually where you can get the most targeted traffic from the web? Articles. By writing up articles and submit them to article directories. When some one of the same interest read your articles, and they will finish your article and even come to your site. These kind of traffic is consider as the most targeted traffic and good quality. Because the articles had worked as a filter and flush off unrelated traffic to your site.

Now you know that the important of quality traffic can boost your online income. And you know where to get all these traffic as well.

Increase traffic to your blog or website is the dream of every webmaster. No matter how much traffic you’re generating today, be it 100, 1,000 or even 10,000, it is always good to have more. However, to have a successful blog or website, you must always remember your purpose. Why did you blog, what is the purpose of your website, and why do you need such a huge traffic? Once you know why, nothing can ever stop you. As for me, my purpose here is to make money using blogs, to be a Millionaire is my dream, however making money using blog is just part of it.

The desire and reasons are far more important than simply generating traffic.

Well, this is a great method of getting extra traffic for your blog or site. Since article marketing is one of the best way to market your blog, you can always do so to increase your traffic. You know what, since you’re posting everyday on your blog, there is no need for you to write an article anymore to submit to article directories. What you can do is that you can re-write your article with the same idea and submit them to article directories. The reason to re-write the article is because you don’t want to have exactly the same content on many websites, so you must re-write your articles before you submit.

By doing so, you will get extra traffic from article directories and even links from other site which uses your article as their content. So you see, it is such a great benefits to do so. It will only take a few minutes to submit your post to article directories. Some people even using article submitter to do this for them. All the article will be submitted to article directories automatically. This is of course only if you bought the article submitter software.

You must always remember to include your anchor text in resource box of your article. Anchor text is something like this “The Millionaire Secrets“. In case if anchor text is not allowed, then you must include your URL in the resource box. Only then people will come to your site and you will have extra link if they use your article as their content. By the way, try to write a call to action words in your resource box. This is to attract readers to follow your link to your site. And if you have any free stuff, you can offer there as well.
