Whether you're goal is to boost your current website sales a bit or simply generate some fast cash, finding solutions for how to get website traffic fast should be on your list of priorities.
If sales are down, cash is low or your website visitors are less than a few hundred a day, here are 5 traffic solutions that will help.
#1 Social media. If you use social media sites, and you should, you stand to generate lot of traffic to your website quickly. The trick here is to create attention grabbing posts that create curiosity. Then include content that will make people laugh or even stir up a little controversy. These are the things that get people to bookmark, pingback or even tweet about.
Use social marketing tools and also their associated technology to get the job done. Just one StumbleUpon post for example; can be integrated with both Facebook and Twitter profiles, the advantage there is that you'll be hitting the air waves quickly on all three social sites at once.
#2 Article marketing. We hear a lot about submitting articles to article sites. You may be tired of hearing that but they are a powerful way to get website traffic fast. There are however, only 3 things that will make articles work for driving the most traffic; a catchy title, meaty content and a compelling resource box.
We all know that these are important elements for writing effective articles but for me personally, I never really knew how to get them right until I reviewed Jason Potash's article announcer, once I really understood how to craft titles that would peak interest and write resource boxes that would compel clicks, my traffic began to take off like a rocket. Before then I could spend hours submitting just tons of articles that went nowhere.
In other words it's not enough to just crank out mediocre articles and include your site link in the resource box, it certainly helps to do that, but if you want to get even more traffic fast, you must have an article title that compels, a body that delivers what readers want to read and a resource box that gets the click.
#3 Video content. You'd be amazed at how quickly a video can go viral. Because videos are so easy to watch they often grab more attention than printed content, and if your video can once again, stir up controversy, entertain and offer value, you've got a winner.
You'll also be glad to know that videos are often forwarded to friends and downloaded on laptops and mobile devices. A good video is an excellent resource for generating a tremendous amount of traffic to your site.
#4 Business Partnerships. Always try to partner with a compatible, relevant businesses. The key here is to come up with a mutually beneficial agreement. For example, seek out people in your industry that are willing to work with you and then help each other drive traffic.
A partnership may include guest blogging on each other’s sites, swapping advertisements or even promoting each other's ezines.
#5 Blogging. If you went to the trouble to create a blog, post regularly. Post on your own blog first then check around for blogs that you can guest blog on. In fact guest posting is ideal for getting website traffic fast, especially if you can hook up with high traffic blogs. Nicole Dean, one of my favorite and talented internet marketers, increased her traffic rates, her opt-in rates and sales just by guest blogging. She actually became a guest blogging rock star.
Just like social networking, if you provide informative, controversial or entertaining posts on high traffic blogs as well as other social media sites, you’ll have people clicking through to your website in droves.
Of course, if you want to promote this blog post via social media, you could double your traffic results too 
Here's to YOUR success!
