Tip 1: Set your goal and Plan well. Start your traffic building by setting your goal. Set realistic goals that you can achieve. Measure your performance against your goals periodically.


If you dont have a goal then you will not know if you are doing good or bad. This will also help you determine if you have to change your approach and what's working v/s what's not . The key in setting goal is to follow S.M.A.R.T approach, which stand for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-Bound.

Eg: If your site currently has 10 unique visitors, set your Traffic Goal as

* 100 unique visitors by 1st month
* 150 unique visitors by 2nd month
* 250 unique visitors by 3rd month etc

Remember that starting is always tough. Your traffic will increase exponentially. Meaning your 80% efforts will be needed to drive your first 20% traffic.

Once you have set the goal , make a clear plan of what activities will be done & when. Whether you will be hiring someone or outsourcing some efforts to free lancers.

Your plan will have Tasks ( Activities ) and Dates against each.

* Task 1 Date 1
* Task 2 Date 2
and so on.

Tip 2: Unique Content (Don't Skip over this) You must have read this in many place "Update your site daily". Its on your todo list but you end up doing everything but writing new content. The word "Daily" is very demanding, if you were told weekly, it looks more achievable.
However this is a proven and a very important tip in increasing your traffic. Your site should be updated daily. This requires patience & persistence. You will not get results in one day. But in long run it will turn out to be your best investment.
