You now have the basics ready and in place. How do you drive traffic to your site?

There are many different and highly effective ways to generate visitors to your site. Perhaps the most effective is article writing. There are hundreds of sites on the web to submit your articles to and in general, your readers will be highly targeted folks looking for information about your product. Most article submission sites have an author's biography box at the end of the article. This is where you can put a hyperlink to your site and offer them something of value. Other article sites allow links in the body of your publication. You just need to check each sites individual policies.

Your article could be downloaded or pasted to other people's web pages and posted there for even more free exposure. As you become more comfortable and at ease with posting your articles and post with more consistency, your name and product will be seen by more and more people. This is highly effective but slower process than some others.

Yahoo has a community of their own called yahoo groups. Scan through some of the thousands of groups available from yahoo and choose the ones that are most closely affiliated with your product. Joining these groups and posting your articles within the group will generate even more traffic for you. Hint: when joining yahoo groups, don't forget to look for article submission groups also. They may have a need for your article and may use it on their own site also. hence, even more exposure.

Keep in mind, every time someone uses your article on their page with your link on it, it increases the amount of web pages that link back to your site and can increase your search engine site ranking.

Search engine optimization is another way to drive traffic to your site. When you first go live with your web site, most likely your chances of being on one of the top search pages are next to none. There are many theories and ideas about how to optimize your page for higher rankings. The reality of it is. some the tricks that can be used will work but the rules of the search engines change so often you must keep a continual vigil on your site to stay there.

I'll wrap this up with a method that could make your opt in list counter start spinning like a top. Create an Ebook or E report from articles you have all ready written. Compile a series of articles and lump them into an informative, solid, beneficial piece of writing and GIVE IT AWAY. Let me tell you here that the process of doing this method is not time consuming and can be done absolutely free with software you most likely already have on your computer. You can embed your hyperlinks into this report/ebook wherever it may be beneficial to the reader. Let your readers know that the ebook/report is absolute free and can be given away by them. The potential for this spreading like a virus to the Internet community is amazing.
