There is one thing on which every online marketer agrees: the key to success is traffic. No matter how appealing your product or service may be, you will fail without traffic.

Many webmasters spend a lot of money on advertising. They purchase large email campaigns, advertise on Google and Yahoo, and even buy radio and TV time. But, fortunately, you do not have to make expenditures of that magnitude.

Instead, try the following.

1. Article distribution is my favorite marketing activity because it has paid such great dividends for the websites with which I am associated. At last count, my article writing has netted those sites more than 30,000 links. The process is pretty simple. Just write articles that will be interesting and/or helpful, and use one of the many available software tools to submit them to article distribution sites. Include an author's box, like the one at the end of this article, with links to your website(s). As Webmasters looking for content find and use your articles on their sites, you will pick up links; often lots of them.

2. Send out emails offering to swap links with other website owners. Target those whose visitors might be interested in your site and those of high quality.

3. Got a really good site? Or, got something to offer other website owners (an ebook, a calendar, etc.)? If so, try for some one way links. One way links can move you up the search engine ranking ladder faster than reciprocal links because the search engines consider them a true endorsement of your site.

4. Set up a blog. Put a link to your website on it. Try to come up with an interesting post at least once a month. Weekly is better.

5. Bloggers, even more than webmasters of "regular" websites, need lots of content. Offer them articles (with author's boxes containing links to your site , of course). They'll love you, and you'll pick up lots of links.

6. This may surprise you, but press releases can get you hundreds of links (and lots of publicity). There are agencies and software tools which will help you distribute your releases. Neither are expensive: you'll be pleasantly surprised.

If you are not a writer, you can purchase private label rights articles for very little, or hire freelance writers quite reasonably. It may take a little time to find a writer whose product you like, but it is worth it. The traffic generating techniques listed above can really pay off big for you. And, they can do so quickly.
