Non-SEO Ways To Huge Traffic Using Blogs

If you have been looking for ways to increase traffic to your sites, you’ve probably heard the expression SEO (Search Engine Optimization) so many times by now that you are starting to get a little sick hearing about it. That are a lot of sick people out there because anybody with a web presence of any sort needs traffic.

So is there another way to generate loads of traffic without being involved in any SEO? Actually there is. And what’s more, this other method will give you much more targeted traffic.

Despite the fact that blogs are the ultimate SEO tool and weapon, the same blogs can be used for very effective non-SEO traffic generation. Actually there are quite a number of businesses doing very well generating tons of traffic using non-SEO methods.


Why Interest in Non-SEO Traffic Generation Is Growing

The SEO game has gotten extremely complicated even as the stakes have risen to dizzying heights. On one side of the divide we have search engines involved in an increasingly fierce contest for supremacy. To win this contest they have to ensure that their search results are as accurate and useful as possible to users.

On the opposite corner are millions of people with a web presence who want their sites to rank as high as possible at all costs so that they can receive the sort of traffic that will make them highly profitable or successful in whatever they are doing. Most do not really care how accurate or useful searches using search engines are. All that matters to them is high ranking and therefore high traffic at all costs. Thus they are constantly devising all sorts of methods to get their sites ranked highlky. Even as search engines are devising all sorts of methods to keep search engine results as accurate and useful as possible.

This collision course is the main cause of grief for many webmasters who frequently face a nightmare of colossal proportions. Imagine waking up in the morning and finding that all your traffic has been wiped out simply because some new rule introduced by a search engine knocked you clean off your high ranking perch, literally overnight. A position that cost you dearly both in terms of dollars and time spent working on your SEO.

Little wonder that more and more webmasters and site owners are embracing non-SEO traffic generation options. Actually a vast majority is combining both SEO and non-SEO methods to limit the chances of having all their valuable targeted traffic wiped out overnight.


Non SEO Blog Magic

There are actually several non-SEO ways a blog can generate tons of regular traffic for you. However the most effective is related to the use of opt-in email lists.

An opt-in email list is an email list created from visitors to a site who ask to receive regular emails and updates on a particular subject that is close to their hearts but also closely related to the site. An opt-in email list is more valuable than gold. It is a list of targeted visitors to your site, prepared to receive regular email from you telling them about new developments at the site, so that they can re-visit often. You can also tell them about products and services related to their interests. There are people who earn a pretty good living doing just this. They usually end up selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of product from a single simple email to a list of a few thousand.

A blog is one of the most effective ways of creating an opt-in email list quickly. One of the reasons for this is that blogs usually receive lots of visitors. Obviously not all visitors will sign up to be on your opt-in email list, but the more visitors you receive, the quicker you’ll be able to build your opt-in email list, even if just a tiny fraction end up on your opt-in email list. An opt-in email list is many times more effective in generating tons of regular traffic, including regular repeat visits than SEO is. No search engine ranking can compete with opt-in email lists. To start with lists will usually be a lot more targeted than the masses of traffic received from search engines. So how do you create an opt-in email list quickly and how do you use it to generate traffic?

Before we look into ways of quickly building a huge opt-in email list, let us be sure that we fully understand and appreciate how this particular tool can be used to generate tons of regular traffic.


How To Generate Traffic Using Opt-in Email Lists

Here are several ideas on how to use your opt-in email list to generate traffic to your site.

a) Announce new content. Your opt-in email list consists of people who were interested enough by your site, to actually visit it. Getting them to visit again is easy and this is the reason why the simple idea of informing your list of new content that has been posted at you site is usually very effective in attracting traffic.
b) Special promotions/offers. This list is an ideal way to announce special promotions and offers. All you have to do is make sure they revolve around lots of visits to your site.
c) Special features and articles with the final part published at your site. Sending out valuable special features and articles to you list and asking them to read the final part or the complete article at your site, is yet another effective method used to drive traffic to a site.
d) Your Ezine should be littered with interesting links that lead back to your site. Usually most people sign up in an opt-in email list to receive an ezine with some useful information they need. By ensuring that every issue of your ezine that goes out to your list is packed with interesting links pointing to your site, you will almost automatically generate lots of traffic – even from non-subscribers because emails tend to get forwarded a lot.


How to quickly build a huge opt-in email list using blogs

Here’s how to quickly build up your opt-in email list;

a) Offer an interesting ezine or email newsletter. The more interesting and attractive the ezine you offer to harvest email addresses, the more quickly you’ll be able to build up your list.
b) Offer special gifts for referrals. Doing this will get you referrals to your ezine and you’ll be able to build your list very quickly as a result.
c) Offer Special gifts for people who put your ezine on their email signatures. You can offer your readers a special incentive to put a link to your ezine ordering page on their email signatures. This should greatly help in getting the word out faster.
d) Really hot tips should be found only in your ezine. Naturally this encourages a lot more people to sign up.
e) Distribute articles to ezine lists. Subscribers to other ezines are much more likely to subscribe your ezine too and end up on your opt-in email list. Ezine announcement lists are numerous and can easily be found with the help of your favorite search engine.


Conclusion

Building up email lists using blogs is a powerful way of ensuring that you are able to constantly generate quality traffic for your site at no cost. Despite the numerous problems caused by SPAM and other email scams, email is still the most powerful marketing tool online and is capable of generating huge volumes of targeted traffic for any webmaster or site owner.
