Driving traffic to my site

Just starting new Online Retail store and need help building traffic to my site. I have submitted site to google, yahoo and bing. what are some other free ways to help increase traffic?

Anyone have any good ideas?

Your site needs a few months to get out in the market place. It really depends on what your niche market is and who your competition is. Being in the sort of everything for sale category you have a tough fight unless you can market something unique that sets you above the thousands of other sites doing exactly what you are doing.

You need some good old fashioned text on your home page peppered with some relevant (the key word is 'relevant') key words and phrases. I would immediately get rid of the Google Ads unless you want your visitors leaving your site.

Tweak your <title> tag. It's arguably the most important tag you have as it appears in every browser. Online retailer does not say anything about your store. Give it some 'oomph' . Perhaps Supply Caves - Computer Equipment,Electronics and so on. You might want to highlight one of your more popular and searched for items in your <title> tag. You can use your manufacturers to give yourself more exposure. Words like Samsung and Sony.

You have a few categories with no products. Don't show them until you have products for them. It's a giant put off.

First, to optimize product keywords site inside the long tail, and then do some backward link to your products to address the chain

I have done many marketing activities but still i m not getting traffic or backlinks. Is there anyone who can guide me or help me?

I suggest to make your business web site trustable. You can make it by writing articles then post them to your business Web site and submit them to article banks.

Good starting point is:

article marketing
forum posting (in your websites niche)
blog commenting

Or pay for traffic...

The answer to the question is the holy grail of answers.

So let's call it marketing.

Man has been marketing products for over 2000 years now. You need a marketing campaign, that sends a strong message, and drives potential customers to an even stronger message, such as your website. Once the customer lands on your site, your message must be so convincing, that they make a purchase or choose to test your goods or services.

So you start at the website first, and work your way backwards towards, some sort of print, radio or television ads. You want to focus all of the potential leads to a centralized gathering place called your website. That's where you execute your strongest marketing message.

If you wait for organic search results to build and grow, that may take a year or so. So you have to pay for qualified leads first. But if your message is not strong, your leads will go down the drain.

I'm in the process of doing the same thing right now. So I am on this forum giving my thoughts on the posts. In return, I create a back link to my site, and raise a level of awareness in which readers might think that I actually have something intelligent to say, which may generate a click to my site, as readers express a small growing seed of interest and curiosity as to what I do and who I am.

If your convictions about your site or product are so strong, then don't be afraid to talk about it, and spread the word of it through out the land, to let everybody know. If your convictions are weak, them make them strong today by beefing up the message. Just go for it.

For getting traffic you can use bolg and article posting regularly,that will really help to take more traffic at your site.
Other wise you can take the help of SEO guys who have very good experienced in this .they will definitely help you to bring more traffic to your website.

U can increase traffic by building your link building profile. For this u need to:
1. do directory submission
2. analyze your competitors' backlinks and try to get them
3. write articles and syndicate them
4. do forums commenting
5. submit in social bookmarks

Try to study more on the SEO techniques or if you have budget try to seek for the help of an SEO experts.

I mean no disrespect but I feel you need to narrow your niche a bit. Everything i ever read always said to NOT have what they call a "Mall" site, narrow your product line a bit and find that one niche that fits you and your mission the most.

Facebook ads offers easy to use, low-cost advertising. If you haven't already, create a business Facebook page seperate from any personal Facebook page you may have. This will allow potential customers to follow you on Facebook and the first to see current events, discounts and sales. Good luck

Try to find which are the most popular media sites, directories and blogs in your market niche and advertise with them. Google Adwords or similar PPC programs would also help. Do not forget to track the visitors and conversions.

wow lol

If you want 1 answer: Go to google adwords (or facebook ads or msn adcenter) and pay for traffic.

There are hundreds of other ways but the above is the quickest
