3 Powerful Ways to Gain Hundreds to Thousands of Unique Visitors to Your Site

It's easy to create a website. All you have to do is to find a reputable registrar, register your domain name, pay for hosting services, and then start creating quality content. The real challenge is to get people to read your site.

Many rookie bloggers assume that there will always be people who'd be interested in reading their blog. So what usually happens is that they spend too much time writing and revising (and then revising again) their posts that they don't care about promotion. If you're a celebrity, you almost don't have any difficulty finding new readers. You almost don't have to promote.

But if you're practically an unknown, you must promote. Don't expect for readers to come flooding in to your site that easily. Here are three ways that you can do to gain hundreds to thousands of unique visitors to your website.

1. Paid advertisements

While most SEO experts would recommend that you work on your site's Google rankings, some would tell you not to bother. There are several people who claim that by paid advertising, they were able to drive thousands to millions of high traffic to their site, allowing them to earn thousands of dollars every month. The idea is quite simple. Using PPC (pay per click) programs, you pay publishers to promote your website in their high-traffic websites. This method is fast and easy, but it will sure cost you money. But the good news is, you only pay when a user clicks on your advertisement. It is a win-win situation for both you and the publisher.

2. Guest posts

Many website owners have found success in generating unique website traffic by guest posting. If this is new to you, here's how it's done. Scour the Internet for the best sites that have a large readership. Make sure that the site accepts posts from guest writers like you. Throw in a well-written letter of intent, and create a great article with your link on it. If it gets approved, your post will be read by a lot of readers, and when they want more content from you, they will head over to your site by clicking on the link you left.

3. Social bookmarking

There's not a doubt that social networking sites are a powerful means of communication these days. Their power relies on the users themselves. If you look at videos, pictures, and articles that went viral, they became famous (or infamous) because they were shared, re-posted, and re-tweeted by different people. Using this principle, you can drive tons of traffic hits to your site by bookmarking it on social networking sites.

Aside from those strategies mentioned above, there are other strategies that webmasters use to turn their blog into a high traffic site, which you can also adopt. But not all of those would work for you. So continue to explore other ways, and never stop doing your research. Interact with your fellow bloggers, and don't stop experimenting with new techniques
