The internet has fundamentally changed the rules of business. The communications capability and the low cost outlay have all brought about the possibility to create new market opportunity. The rule of the making money on the internet lies in ones ability to reach potential customer with a profitable business offer even if only a small percentage of the targeted customers makes purchase. While the importance of product research analysis and target audience analysis cannot be taken for granted; the need to get customers to visit the website and make a purchase becomes imperative. Hence the techniques to increasing web traffic are discussed as follows:

Write to free article sites or ezine

This way you can get a lot of back link to your website. There are many sites which will accept your written material; the catch is that you are giving it away for free. The benefit, however, is that you get to include a link to your site in the article, meaning every time someone clicks on your link, it brings free traffic to your site.

Submit to search engines

The best way to increase traffic is to register your website with the major search engines. Then, when a search engine user looks for a particular word or phrase, the search engine looks into the database and produces the results, usually sorted by relevance according to the search engine algorithms
