Increase Targeted Website Traffic in 2 Simple Steps!

Do you want to increase targeted website traffic, legally? Read on to find out these 2 simple steps that you may by missing out in generating traffic!
Everyone knows that merely putting up a website selling some products isn't what that is going to make you money (unless you really know how to do search engine optimization).

However, for most of us non-technical people, there is some good news. In order to rake those sales in, you need to bring the maximum amount of traffic to your website… which means you will need to increase targeted website traffic! You see the more people who view your website, the higher your chances of making some sales from them. Sounds logical? It gets even better

So now that I've covered the basics, here are the 2 simple steps to increase targeted website traffic that you will need to follow in order to rake in that traffic:

Step 1: Write and Submit Your Articles!

Unbeknownst to many, article marketing is still, by far, the best medium to promote a website. In an article, you will get to pre-sell your website, giving your readers hints, clues, tips, tricks or secrets to entice them to continue reading to find out what your website holds.

When you give them real value and educate them in your article, they will want to find out more. The trick is - to put your website link in the author resource box...  then telling them to click it if they want to find out more information. Guess what? Boom! They will be clicking your link to the article.

Step 2: Provide Quality Answers on Yahoo! Answers
What you need to do is... sign up for a free Yahoo! account, and start answering questions related to your niche. Remember that you have to provide valuable answers to the questions answered. As Yahoo! Answers is based on a point-awarding system, the higher your points, the higher and your level.

When you start off, you will need to answer enough questions to gain level 2, after which you will be able to post clickable links throughout the site. No spamming; or else your answer will get reported by the community there.

Providing solutions in Yahoo! Answers will increase targeted website traffic as not only will you be inducing the questioner to your website, but also the people browsing through the questions to look for answers... especially if your answer was chosen as the best answer! And, you can even place your affiliate links there (but you must cloak them first!)
