How to Get Instant Traffic to Your Site

There are a lot of ways to get traffic online that are really solid such as article marketing, however these can take a lot of time and effort to begin working for you or your business. What if you need instant traffic? Are there any solutions? The good news is that there are and in this short article I'll be revealing the best ways to start getting a flood of traffic to your site right now. Some you'll know, some you won't - keep reading to learn them all!

To start off with, we have good old pay-per-click or PPC. Every online marketer or businessperson has used PPC at some point in time and if they haven't, then they really haven't explored all avenues of traffic generation online. While PPC is excellent for getting traffic to your site right away, the fact is that it's becoming extremely expensive for even niche keywords as hundreds of marketers fight for position online.

Next, we have banner campaigns. There are literally millions of sites online who place banner sites somewhere on their pages and you won't find any shortage of ones willing to place your banners on their site. Banner advertising is still quite expensive at times (though not anywhere near as much as PPC), however the major downfall of this kind of advertising is that it's not very effective - studies have shown that most people have trained their minds to ignore banners on web pages.

How about throwing some kind of media event? The press is a great way to get instant traffic to your site and as long as you can create a great story around you or your business and write it into a press release, you'll be able to hopefully get a whole lot of media attention, which is effectively free advertising. Two things you'll need to get media attention: A press release and someone to distribute it for you. If you're trying to save on costs you can always write a press release yourself, though I always recommend you invest some money in a distribution service to send it out to media contacts. This will cost you money, though shop around to find the best deal. I've always used Press Platinum as their rates are cheap compared to everything else I've found and they have over 500,000 press and media contacts they will distribute your release to.

And lastly, why not try buying some publicity? Social bookmarking sites are extremely good ways to generate traffic, but only if you can achieve a front-page listing - for example, getting your content to the front page of Digg can get you more than 100,000 visitors in a day. Sites like uSocial.net allow you the ability to artificially buy votes for these sites and almost guarantee you a front-page listing. You will have to pay, but the benefits of such services are phenomenal.

Okay, so that's it from me! Hopefully these tips will help you generate some phenomenal (and very, very fast) traffic to your website or business!
