Traffic is a universal need for online entrepreneurs.
Without traffic, you can’t get subscribers or sales. It’s the foundation of an online business. In most cases, your efforts will focus on getting subscribers because it’s easier to get people who don’t know you to subscribe than to buy. After they subscribe, you can nurture the relationship and convert them to customers or clients.
But how do you attract the attention needed to get people to your website?
Below are blog posts from experts on the topic of traffic from many different points of view, niches, and target markets.

Ellen, thanks for including my post in your Traffic roundup. The selection of posts you’re featuring provides a lot of great tips for anyone looking to send more traffic to their site.
Denise, I really appreciated your post on “27 Ways to Promote Your Blog Better.” It’s an amazing list that will help people get a lot more traffic to their posts.
I actually used some of the tips here and it worked! My Alexa ranking went from 6.5M to 2.75M when I wrote my blog post about it (https://momtraneur.com/2019/07/12/increase-alexa-ranking-quickly/) and today, I checked, it’s at 2.1M already! Thank you so much for the tips! I have yet to try the others but soon, I will too. Thanks again!
Wow! So many tips here. I can’t wait to use them. Thank you for these tips.
I have a question about affiliate products. My blog is being offered an affiliate partnership on skin products. Is it ok to promote products that you haven’t tried? Will that drive your readers away or will they appreciate the information given about certain skin products even if I haven’t really used them?
Tuscany, I only promote products that I’ve either tried or from creators whom I know and trust. So you have to decide. You could ask for a sample and try it. You could research the ingredients. If the products are really an unknown thing, I’d be cautious. But in general, if what you promote is valuable for your specific audience, people will appreciate it. So, if your blog is about beauty or skin health, then it’s relevant. And you should always make it clear that your links are affiliate links.
Thank you for rounding some of us up for this excellent post on how to get more traffic to your website, Ellen. This will be helpful to everyone who reads and takes action on the strategies we are sharing here.
