Hi Canada,

There are many ways in which you can increase traffic to your website on the Internet. Here I will share with you 5 simple but powerful steps you can easily follow to start generating traffic to your website today.

Step 1: Write 5 Articles

If you are serious about making money a lot of money online, article marketing should be one of your main Internet marketing strategies. It is an awesome way to increase traffic flow to your website.

Each week, you should be writing at least 1 article about the service or product you are promoting. It does not have to be a 100 word essay like those you see in newspaper and magazines, 300-500 words is ample. If your article is too long, your reader might never get to your resource box.

Step 2: Blogging

Post every article that you write on your Wordpress blog. It is the most powerful, easy to use content management software in the world to post your news, collect subscribers, article posting and increase traffic to http://www.canadainfomaps.com.

After you have created your blog and added your first post, go to http://technorati.com/ping/ and insert your new blog post URL to announce to the Technorati community that you have a new post. This process can be automated by adding a Technorati widget. You will start to see many visitors coming to your blog to read about your new post.

Step 3: Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites

Social bookmarks are an increasingly popular way to classify, locate, share and rank news, stories and articles on the Internet through tagging. Social Bookmarking websites like Digg (http://www.StumbleUpon.com) have risen in popularity very quickly and it’s a secret that experienced marketers use to push their web page up in the ranks of the major search engines that can massively increase traffic to their websites.

Give your story a catchy headline and description to entice people to read it, and also a nice picture to go along with the article.

Step 4: Submit to Article Directories

By submitting your articles to different article directories on the Internet, you will receive tons of backlinks and traffic because of the resource box at the end of your articles which includes the link to your website. The one biggest Ezine directory you should use first is http://www.ezinearticles.com

In exchange for these free content, these webmasters agree to leave the articles unedited and include the author’s resource box. This is where you can increase traffic to your website through clicking through on your resource box. Whenever anyone reprints your articles on their sites, your site link and name will be published and the people reader your articles will be interested to know more about you and your product and will click on the link to your site.

Step 5: Participate in Forums

Forums are one of the best free advertising medium. If you spend an hour a day posting in forums related to your business, you will capture leads and you will make sales for any products you promote. Go to Google and search for the forums you want to market in, for example, internet marketing forums and start to get involved in those which have high Alexa rankings.

The concept of forum marketing is very simple. You act as if you are not promoting or selling anything. All you are doing is providing useful information and content that helps other people solve their problems. All you are doing is to talk to the people in the forums that might be interested in the product you are promoting and have the potential to buy when they click on your link. Your offer is shown on your signature whenever you make a forum post, like the resource box when submitting articles to article directories

Hope that helps,
