Tips for Driving Traffic to your Website- Part 2

Forum Marketing and Oil Rig Hopping

This is a great way to drive traffic to your webpages and once again you guessed it, its free!  So if you are on a tight budget these methods are great. Now just quickly what is oil rig hopping? and how to do it…

Ok so what you do is find the  best high traffic blogs or websites relevant to your particular niche and then interact with their online community by posting comments or offering help. It is important that dont try sell yourslef here, you want to create value! If you cant add great value ask good questions. Tell people what you are doing and then ask for help on something more particular. So at the end of each comment leave your blog or website url in your signature. I found this not only helped me drive traffic but I also learnt alot and built lasting business relationships with people I have interacted with.

The next thing to do is find the best forums particular to the niche you operate in. Then  go there and do the same thing basically. It’s all about taking action here and being willing to spend some of your time helping others. You will feel better about yourself for helping other people and your traffic will skyrocket as a result of your action.
