Traffic strategies: PART 1

There are many strategies to get traffic to our blog, like

• Following some simple and effective SEO techniques.
• To know some of the bad practices of SEO and to avoid it.

Today lets see some other hidden and effective technique to get the traffic, that we have experimented with and have been proven to be effective on this blog.

Here it goes:-

Using Ad Networks to get the traffic!

Yes, we have put Bidvertiser ads(an adnetwork which places the ads of highest bidders) on this blog, which have bought many visitors(who are advertisers) to Technotip.org.

We are also using “Project Wonderful”, which is a CPD(Cost Per Day) adverting program. And we have set 0.01$, per day for advertising on 125×125 ad spot. This has bought a lot of new readers, who keep coming to this blog to see for new contents and to bid on the adspot whenever there is a post getting more traffic.

Project Wonderful is also based on bidding system, so setting the minimum bid to 0.01$ is not at all a lose. Advertisers will bid more and more as the blog becomes famous. And there will be traffic flowing in, as advertisers will keep searching for the least amount to bid. They will endup to our site by searching for below any value and above 0$. By this technique our blog is shown in almost all search results.

Bidvertiser provoid 20$ for free when anybody signup as their advertiser for the first time. So our visitors get a chance to display their advertisement on this blog upto 20$ for FREE. This offer from Bidvertiser attracts many readers to stay around us to get such offers.

And as we all know, AdSense also has the option of targeted advertising. That is, targeting specific website/blog for advertisement. This also brings some more traffic.

But care should be taken not to dump the blog with just ads. People will be visiting our blog for reading the valuable content and not to see or click our ads!

More over, the advertisers, advertise on our blog, if they are interested in that niche and the advertisement is somewhat relevant to the niche.

So far Technotip.org has managed to get many readers from this technique. And more importantly these readers will be having the capacity to purchase things from your/our advertisers. “As advertisers are looking for good conversion and not for clicks”. So we can call these readers as potential readers of our blog.
