20 Tips on How to Gain Traffic
Posted by Mike | Filed under Traffic-buildingAre you thinking of ways on how to expose your site? Well, here are some things that you should try to get more visitors. I have a list here of some traffic-building tips, some are for real, some are weird and some are even hilarious — hey, we all need a break from serious traffic-building methods, we should relax and have fun!
These traffic-building ideas came to my mind a while ago, and I really had fun imagining how to do the following stuff. So read them now and enjoy! Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!
1. Submit to directories.
2. Submit to social bookmarking sites.
3. Send a bulletin to thousands of people.
4. E-mail your URL to your friends.
5. Print your URL on your favorite shirt.
6. Put your link in your forum signature.
7. While you’re enjoying in a beach, write your URL on the sand.
8. Print some brochures (with your URL in it) and give it to people for free.
9. When in a party, go to the stage (if any) and sing a song about your website.
10. Include your URL in your business card.
11. Use your URL as your username on online games, online communities, etc..
12. Send an IM to your friends and mention your website to them.
13. Put your website’s URL on your used items and sell those during a garage sale.
14. Make a funny cartoon/image, put your website’s URL in it (kind of like a watermark), and spread it to everyone.
15. Put a banner outside your house with your site’s URL and details on it.
16. During Christmas or any other gift-giving holiday, don’t forget to ask the recipients of the gifts to visit your website (meaning… put your URL in the greeting card or something like that)!
17. Give free books to your public library. Be sure to put “Donated by: www.yoururl.com” in every book that you’re donating!
18. On your local notice board, post something attractive that will make people curious about your site. They’ll visit your URL for sure!
19. Make website themes/templates, put your link on the footer area and distribute them for free.
20. Write your URL on a paper, put the paper inside a bottle and let the bottle travel across the oceans.
Some of them are tooo funny like the one where you put a paper inside a bottle and let it travel across oceans! Looks like it will reach some remote place like the Antarctic where only penguins and polar bears live!!
some of these are very funny
penguins and polar bears lives in different places. i don’t remember which of them lives where but i know one of them lives in Antarctica and other in Artica
interesting post and smart people.”Write your URL on a paper, put the paper inside a bottle and let the bottle travel across the oceans.”, i did it before.
#20 is my favorite, but there is problem with it — I could be long dead before the bottle is found!
#1 - Only for Seo Purposes , i never saw a directory which sends more than 2 hits a day (except dmoz)
#3 Spam
#5 I had to print over 100 t-shirts then
Hahah, such funny tips, well i think that was so effective, well ill try that, thanks.

Very good tips. I especially enjoy the #5 tip about the shirt. Especially with my niche. It works!
no.20, not sure when will other notice the bottle.
the rest, works fine with all the traffic gaining.
I like the idea of #17. I am definitely going to try it.
i like answer number 20….free traffic instantly…more free traffic? Just Sit at traffic Light..then you cross the road without see left and right….BAMMM..you get traffic to heaven…he.he.he
I don’t think that some of these will work but they definitely put a smile on someone’s face.
