How To Get Quality Traffic For Your Fitness and Health Website

There are a lot of methods floating around the Internet these days to supposedly help you generate web traffic. They range from the truly ridiculous, to systems that actually work.

I’ve run several web businesses full time for over five years now. I’ve tried just about every traffic generating method out there. Let me save you some time and tell you what doesn’t work. At least it didn’t for me.

Useless Tactics:

Free for all directories: Don’t bother spending your time on these. No one is interested in your offer, only their own. Webmasters created these website so then can send you their offers in the confirmation email. No one is actually reading your ad. I’ve never had any luck with this type of traffic generating method.

Email Spamming: Don’t do it! You can get yourself in a lot of trouble. If someone reports you, your ISP or web host can shut your account down. It’s not only illegal, it’s annoying to others. No one is going to buy from people who send them junk mail. Most likely, the spam filters will just stop the message from ever being seen.

Push Button Website Creators: How many people waste money on this type of system? Save yourself some time and money and stay away from these. If it were that easy, the owner of the software would be doing it, not selling the system to you.

Buying The Latest Magic System: How many millions of dollars have been wasted by people getting scammed by the “latest magic traffic system”? Don’t fall for it. Keep your money in your pocket.

Tactics That Work:

Pay Per Click: This drives targeted traffic to your website. The only problem is that it’s too expensive for most. You might spend $500.00 on clicks and only make $300.00 in sales. Not for most people, especially those just starting out in online marketing.

Social Network Posting. Signing up and posting to social networks such as digg or reddit can bring you some traffic. It does take time to post on a regular basis though. You don’t want to look like a spammer and just promote your money pages all the time. You’ll just get kicked off.

If you want to try your hand at social marketing, you may want to give Hubpages or Squiddo a try. Make a good page with lot’s of content and you’ll get some visitors from these high traffic websites.

The Very Best Method:

Witting and submitting articles to high quality article directories. This actually works. The one way back links from high Pagerank authority sites will help get you ranked higher in the search engines. You’ll also get direct targeted traffic from the article directories themselves.

Write a quality article. Don’t just spin some PLR articles with a one click spinner. You’ll just get junk. You want to have a good article or the directories won’t publish it. Take your article and submit it to the top 10 article websites. Write another article and repeat.

Don’t just submit to only the major article directories. Try and find some related niche article directories. If you have a health website, then submit to some health article directories.

Make it a habit to write one or more articles per week and submit them to the directories. You’ll be amazed at the traffic you’ll get after only a short time.
