7 Ways To Generate More Website Traffic

If you're looking for ways to bring in more website traffic, try these seven simple tactics:

1. Advertise your site through Facebook

2. Open-source your software on GitHub

3. Post some of your content on Dashboard Confessional's website

4. Run a blog about how to do something related (like how to make online marketing) and sign up for Pay Per Click advertising with networks like AdWords or Bing Ads.

5. Create an infographic and post it on Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram  6 . And lastly  7 . Improve the search engine optimization of your site.

Here's why each of these tactics will work:

1. Advertising can cost a lot, and you don't want to spend money if you don't need to. Instead, start with a free advertising option like Facebook  first to build up your site's traffic and brand awareness first. Then, once you've got those two down pat, put some cash into Google or Facebook ads for better results.

2. Open-source all the things! Not only will you gain a reputation as a generous person and increase your site's traffic, you'll also get more people using your software and telling their friends about it — this is how I first achieved success with my site.

3. Posting some of your articles on other sites might be considered "guerilla marketing," but it's also what helped me keep my site afloat when I started out. Even if you don't have the money to pay for ad spots, just share a few of your articles on other sites and make sure to always include a link back to your original website.
