how can i increase sales and drive traffic to my new website?

[✔✪ Abu Haarun Hussein ✪✔]

Hi, I have recently completed an online store for selling outer-space collectibles for space-enthusiasts. It is called "Space Mugs!" at http://www.cafepress.com/SpaceMugs

I chose a catchy title, put together some interesting products, added tags, keywords, and descriptions for my products for search engine optimization. I also sent a few emails to friends. I also added a script that tracks user behavior on my site.

Is there anything else I can or should do? My budget is extremely limited. Or should I just wait and see what happens?

Thank you

You can write articles about your products and submit them to hubpages, ezine articles, and squidoo lens. You could also try pay per click from google, yahoo, and miva till you start getting regular customers then branch out to other means of traffic sources like pyrabang. Press releases are also another good source for building traffic to your site. Social bookmarking is good for getting targeted traffic to your site for that I use onlywire. It allows you to submit to bookmarking sites like twitter,stubleupon, reddit, and dig. All of which can get you good amounts of traffic. You also need to make sure to get your products and pages indexed with google and yahoo. I can tell you thousands of ways to get traffic to your site. Most of my ideas are posted in my seo section on my main blog at massivemarketers. I only posted the one main page because you can find almost evertying from there. Good luck to you and your website.

Very nice cafepress site.

However, you will get better results by having your own website. Register, http://www.spacemugs.net and forward the domain to your cafepress store at this time. Owning a domain will provide the best results for continued traffic and sales in the long run.

From there, I will be happy to offer advice on traffic and rankings for your website.

Besides the methods discuss above, you could also add the page to your blog if you have one, create an email signature, participate in niche forum, find your niche site and request a link back, traffic exchange, post classified ads, print business cards, and you could even drive traffic to your site while sitting in traffic: (http://www.iditplates.net/new/11504/index.html). Hope these helps.

A free solution : you can try traffic exchange.
You view other people`s websites , they view yours.
Such places have been online for years.
Free to join and use.
If you have some time to spend online , you can try it.

You sign up for free and inside you view other members` sites and in return you get visitors to your site(s).
You can start receiving visitors in minutes after signing up. Live. You get guaranteed visits to your site.
You have to spend from 6 to 40 seconds (depending on the traffic exchange program you joined) viewing a site before you can move on to the next. And other members also have to look at your site for 6 to 40 seconds before moving on.
How much traffic you get from traffic exchange programs only depends on how much time you can spend using them.

Using traffic exchange programs boosts search engine ranking.

I hope this helps.

#2 Unique Profile NAME at Social Networking Site

If you've heard of Joe Sugarman's tips on how to write advertising copy that really sell,he'd mention that the main purpose of you first sentence/headlines is to make someone read the 2nd sentence/sub-head. And the purpose of your 3rd sentence is to make sure
that someone read the 4th sentence.Let me explain why this is related to traffic generation technique. If you got a profile at social networking site such as FACEBOOK,YAHOO or MYSPACE,change your profile name to something unique or to your website link.
