10 tips on How to Increase your website traffic.

Not so long ago I had read an article about a woman who dramatically increased her page ranking from article submissions on her new website. That that was a fact I already knew, just like many other Internet Marketers. However, that article was needed inspiration I needed for me to make some changes with my daily online business habits.

Since I started studying changes in my online traffic, effects on adding content to your website and change in search engine rankings, I've learned importance of writing what you know and sharing it with others out there on Internet.

I never took submitting and writing articles on a consistent basis too seriously when I first started my home based business. Part of reason was because I was not confident enough to share what I knew with others. Sure I posted a few articles, but I never posted those articles to as many directories and ezines that would accept my article.

Now before you go about thinking it might NOT be necessary to write an article periodically, take a look at some of facts I have taken more seriously and learned as a result of posting articles online.

10 Benefits Of Submitting Articles Online:

1. Posting an article online has more of a dramatic affect than one might think for your home based business. Posting articles online builds needed momentum of website traffic in form of increased popularity and other sites linking to your site. All of those sites linking to you are one way links!

2. As you begin to submit more articles to more directories, your list of places for submitting articles will keep expanding.

3. Submitting to websites regularly will add more popularity to your website. This is easiest way to improved your link popularity as well as your increased website traffic.

4. Most directories usually will let you include a resource box with your name and your website link with your article. Your website address will be found every time someone reads your article, creating more one way links to your site.

5. Most article directory websites store submitted articles in their archives. Since search engine spiders love content, these sites are crawled often. This means YOU will benefit from traffic and hyperlinks from each of your archived articles on their website.

12 Awesome Ways To increase Your Affiliate Commissions!

1. Participate in web discussion boards and online forums. When I first joined an affiliate program, I read as much information as possible in discussion boards http://www.sfidboard.com. This is a great discussion board to lurk in and understand affiliate program and how things work.

   Once you get enough confidence to post your own comments, try a forum more like Home Business Forum. This forum lets you include a link to your web site and any personal signature you choose, but is monitored. I included my web site link under my comment so that other could click on link if they chose. Best part was that search engine spiders took notice too.

2. Advertise your link in your signature file with every email you write. Use an attention-grabbing headline for them to visit your affiliate site. Also make sure your signature file doesn't get too big.

   Your link should look something like this:

3. Your link should look like this http://www.internet-business-success.biz/free.html. By redirecting your affiliate number and making your address be part of your web site, you will not loose out on any affiliate commissions.

4. Create unique affiliate program ads and your own banners if possible. If every other affiliate is using same ad you are using, many web visitors may leave your web site quicker than you think. Give yourself an edge over your competition, by making an ad that makes your website stand out from others.

5. Use a personal testimonial ad. You should only use this if you've actually bought product or service. Tell people what kind of results and benefits you've received using product. This can be VERY powerful.

6. Trade links with other webmasters who are promoting same types of products you are promoting. You want to attract same type of people that would be interested in buying product you're reselling.
