The real trick is to carefully manage the cost of the keyword clicks by careful selection and monitoring of the keywords that you use.

2) Exchange Links with other sites

When exchanging links with other sites, both will grow due to the efforts that each of the sites is doing in its own right to enhance their site's traffic. A site that features another site's link, will benefit the other site by generating traffic for it.

These efforts are doubly beneficial because both sites likely to be working to generate more traffic for their own site. It naturally follows that the more links that you trade with other sites, the more traffic you can look forward to. It is important to only trade links with similar sites to your own or else the search engines may penalise you if they decide that the links exist for the sole purpose of self promotion. For that reason it makes sense if your links are related to anchor points on your pages, rather than all pointing to your home page.

3) Use Viral Marketing

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your site or product name with the minimum of cost. This is a marketing method that is spread from friend to friend; you simply attach your company name, product name or link inside a viral media item such as a free ebook, funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip item. With this method, people get 'infected' with the original content of the item that they want to distribute it to many people.

The keywords must be relevant to your web page content if you want to get a good ranking. Simply loading keywords in the meta tags not produce the required effect. You can write your own quality content or you could outsource to do it for you who will make sure that the correct keywords occur at the optimum frequency and positions.

People will then begin to recognise you and your site and will add you to their bookmarks. They are also likely to pass your URL on to everyone that they know. The number of visitors will then begin to grow because they know that you can help them with what they need.
