When searching for the best available listing of top traffic tips the path the task is not as easy as it appears. The journey is filled with detours that lead to a mixture of logical sounding opinions often masquerading as facts.

Article Marketing is a natural addition to your old school advertising arsenal. Sheer size alone builds credibility for many major players. By creating an article marketing campaign you can build your own base of credibility and yield very impressive returns for the effort.
There is no underground pathway to increasing the flow of traffic to your website regardless of what the latest guru may be spouting. Increasing your traffic is a hard work type of process that requires your complete focus. When you begin you want to have a plan of action with measurable steps.
My favorite old school methods are solo ads, banners and article marketing. Here’s a closer look at the details.
Solo Ads … A solo ad is an exclusive mailing sent out by itself to an entire subscriber database. Most often these ads are blasted to a highly concentrated list containing thousands of opt-in subscribers.
If you don’t have a half dozen or so active blogs you’ve got work to do right away. Get busy with your research and surf a few hours each day to discover the numerous ways blogs are being used to generate credibility and traffic to a variety of business sites.
On the other hand you’ll see banner ads everywhere, even appearing as pop-ups on major advertiser’s pages. You will definitely experience success from maintaining a well placed banner campaign. My recommendation is to budget approximately 10% of your monthly ad budget for banner advertising.
To summarize I’ll add a few tips for short cutting your path to building volumes of traffic to your sites.
Understand the ins and outs of search engines and don’t use outdated guides to direct how your invest your time and money. The major engines change their algorithms without notice.
1. Learn to increase backlinks by the dozen with each ad you create.
2. Market yourself.
3. Start writing articles to build your credibility and to tap into # 1 & # 2.
4. Get your articles published online and spread them out.
5. Write your plan in big letters across a stack of 3 X 5 cards and read them everyday until you’ve worn them out. Re-write the batch with updates and repeat the process.
6. Give yourself a 90 day goal and don’t take a break until the morning of the 91st day.
