It is common knowledge that search engines ranks high sites that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a good ranking position in the search engines, you will generate more traffic in your website without the high costs.
- Traffic Exchange

Traffic exchange services are the viewing of another’s site or page. This is done vice versa where a site can use your sites contents and so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. The other sites visitors can go to your pages and know more about your site as well as theirs. Once again the public awareness of your sites existence is boosted.

There are many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a small fee, but to save money, it is wise to do those articles yourself.

ians last blog post..Ping your blog
Among the 5 techniques, I only use the first two, link exchange and traffic exchange. Gees! I just wish I have enough time to do the last three to gain more traffic.
fats last blog post..Every Action Counts… Christmas Contest
@fat- You are right the other 3 are a little more time consuming but when done they will bring you a lot of traffic and recognition.
I fail to join community and forum I am not active in that. I was a member.

ians last blog post..Getting traffic from commenting
@Luis and ian are you both active in forum?
Sherrys last blog post..Happy Chinese New Year to my friends
@Ian- those are good too, but what I know about digitalpoint and sitepoint is that you need to be careful since ythere is a lot of scammers and spamers in those forums, I think there is a lil less in WarriorForum.
@Sherry- I am not very active in forums yet, but it is one of my 2009 goals as well that to increase my comments in other blogs.
@luis, I know a contest that held by a scammer and has a forum too. But they are no member yet.
yes I know sitepoint is safer than digitalpoint. Sitepoint is more proffesional

Hi Luis,
I’ve tried all techniques but have not done much on newsletter something which I like to do in the near future. I’m very active in Warrior Forum and I like to take a look at Sitepoint as I’ve heard it’s good. I’ve stopped Traffic Exchange for some time as it’s time consuming and I had lots of hits but I think untargeted as most people do it to get points.I’m very active in Link Exchange as it plays a big part in my link building strategy.
Peter Lee
@Peter- Right now I am in Entrecard, but as you said its very time consuming and most of the people are just trying to get the points and dont even comment on your site. If you are interested I may be too in Link exchange with you, since your site seems to have very helpful tips and information. I have even subscrinbe it to your feed. Thanks to visit.
communities and forums can provide really targeted traffic.
