Today’s post on getting targeted web traffic is a response to a reader request.

The anonymous reader asked how to get traffic without submitting articles.

If you have been following along in Your Traffic Starter Blog, you know that article marketing is one traffic strategy that is nearly universally used by the best online marketers everywhere.

But because it is the most universal doesn’t mean you have to use it.

As you saw in the previous series, getting a plan together to increase targeted web traffic to your blog or website is key.  There are at least 20 different ways to get guaranteed web traffic.

I personally don’t recommend you start with pay per click, unless you are willing to spend a lot of money up front.  If done properly, and skillfully, you can and will get highly targeted traffic…  But you can’t make them buy instantly.

I have repeatedly recommended starting with a WordPress, self-hosted blog and social traffic.  I cover this targeted web traffic method in The Great Traffic Experiment.  Sign up and start following the video series.  This, obviously, does not require any article marketing.

I also recently did a series on article marketing and tell you how to article market without doing it all yourself.  Download my free article marketing ebook and learn the ins and outs.  Refer back to the article marketing series in this blog.

And my top recommendation for determining how you should get traffic without article marketing is to use the Easy Traffic Steps discussed in the last targeted web traffic planning series.  This is something you have to decide, and 20 choices are covered in detail.

Until next time, never quit, keep moving forward – an inch, a foot, a yard, a meter, or a mile at time.  Any progress is real progress.

P.S.  Though I wasn’t real specific here, the request was not specific.  And the bottom line is, no one can tell you which traffic method is right for you, unless they are personally working with you, 1-on-1 and in your website and head.  So the next best thing is Easy Traffic Steps for you to make a well qualified decision.
