BUSINESS: Increasing your Web Traffic
with 3 easy steps anyone can implement!
We all want it - More web traffic ...
But generating more web traffic has been known to take a lot of time, money, and work. It can absorb much more investment in these areas than most of us can give.
In this article I will share some shortcuts to getting the exposure you want, that will enhance your exposure and raise your traffic count greatly. You may even get your story picked up by a major news source along the way! All of this with very little investment of time and work - and little, if any, money spent!
As with my other articles, I have nothing to sell to you - so this is written as simply a 'help' article for you, my audience.
Source # 1 eBooks: By writing and distributing an e-Book you not only promote the message you write and share, but you utilize a powerhouse when it comes to backlinking and internet exposure.
By adding affiliate links, in combination with links to your own site, you can generate cash while also promoting your site - easy and free! You can also use the download page on your site as a great place to further advertise your own company, pages on your website, or affiliate links and Google Adsense!
Below I will list several places where you can link your eBook free of charge, so visitors to these sites can download your eBook. By placing your eBook on several of these sites, you will benefit from their combined multi million user database.
http://tinyurl.com/2ytljc [free submission] Free-eBooks - To post your eBook here it must be (1) in PDF format only (2) FREE for download (3) Must be linked directly to the eBook itself, not a download page (ie: landing page) (4) 10 MB or smaller file size (5) an eBook that is useful to viewers. They do not accept self promotion only books. I suggest writing a tutorial of some kind, or a general help book that will be useful for those in your target audience. Make sure the eBook contains links to your site, just don't overdo it.
