how do you drive traffic to your website?

[CSE Graphic Outfitters]

We recently had someone create our website and I'm not sure how to drive traffic to it. If someone has a minute look at our site as far as meta tags and backpage source info and let me know if they set this site up correctly.

Is there something we are missing? Is there something we can do to increase web traffic without spending thousands of dollars?

Any help is appreciated
For some reason the default was set up for vehicles. Thx

Wrong kind of traffic! You need to ask this one in Computers and Internet, not Auto traffic.

Hi there! Great Website. Your navigation links & menu are up to par, directive, and user friendly. I especially like how you organized your site into different categories, appealing to different types of people. Perhaps, in the future, you can add more categories such as sports uniforms, work uniforms, school letter jackets, etc. Great Job so far!

As far as generating traffic to your website, paid advertising is the way to go. Like you said though, don't overdo it. Personally, I've had success with the following two traffic generation programs:

Over the first few weeks, the traffic steadily grows. In time, it is extremely consistent and the customers you receive are highly targeted, leading to more sales.

Has diffrent package values of oneway backlinks to your site. These significantly boosted traffic to my site. Plus, it will increase your SEO rankings b/c google counts the number of links that other sites point to your site.

Side note: One way backlinks are especially beneficial to you because you don't have to post reciprocal links on your site. If you prefer to post reciprocal links on your site in exchange for your link on another site, be extremely prudent. Lower quality websites can ruin your reputation. Also, reciprocal links can divert your customer's attention AWAY from your website. However, reciprocal links are free. It is entirely up to you, but I would strongly advise oneway backlinks.

Other paid advertising methods include the following:

Adwords: first time users to adwords can usually get $50 to $100 in free advertising, if you follow the signup process carefully. I would not reccommend adwords if you don't have any experience with it. Also, your website is in a highly competitive category and you will have to pay high prices for keywords.

StumbleUpon-- Targeted visitors to your website. Cost is 0.05 cents per visitor.



Here is a list of all the FREE ways to drive traffic to your site (remember, you get what you pay for here):

----Traffic exchanges (non-targeted traffic, few conversions, but thousands of page views will increase your SEO rankings!) For your website in particular, I would only join TEs to increase your SEO rankings. Highly doubt you would ever get any sales.

Here are some of the top traffic exchanges you can join:
