The most important aspect is to make your banner highly targeted and not general. Moreover, make sure exchange program will target your banner topic to sites that attract visitors within your target market. Otherwise your efforts will not prove fruitful. You may have traffic but not from people interested in what you offer. Banners GoMLM is one of more popular exchanges. I personally use http://www.superbannertraffic.com and have had modest success.

(3) Reciprocal Linking - Trading links with other web masters can generate traffic from both individual site and through better search engine ranking. The later takes time and cannot be rushed. The SE has to crawl a site in order to locate reciprocal link before index is updated.

Above all else, you must be diligent, patient, and track what methods work. You must put in time and care to learn about and tailor them to your particular purpose. If you prefer to dish out bucks for traffic there are numerous fee-based systems. Pay-per-click is most popular and can deliver highly targeted visits to your site. Although, whether you benefit or not from visit, your money is already spent.

As you become more known and your articles spread from person to person your web site traffic will increase. It will be slow at first. Be patient and simply keep writing. The more high quality articles you have out for people to use more "viral" your writing efforts will become.

Submit everywhere you can think of. However, remember to never spam. Make sure you only submit to places that have clearly stated they accept article submission. Even though your articles are not sales letters it is still considered spam if unsolicited.

If done well, other traffic streams cannot begin to touch what writing articles can do for your home business. Why? Writing draws readers. With your name and site in resource box at end of article, people remember you. With majority of other methods, people have to return to search for you again and again. You are not burned into their memory.

That's how you want to think of this process. Write until your name is first think that pops into peoples minds when they think about a certain topic. Keep your writing focused. Always write to a particular target group with a well defined purpose. Does your article convey a meaningful message? What is it that you want your reader to remember? Where do you want to have your article published?

Focus, focus, focus, and write, write, write, and your site traffic will go through roof!
