2. Building Web Traffic With Words
Viral Blogging. Link Bait. Tagged. Dugg.
If you don't know what those words mean, don't worry. They're simply new
terms for a timeless concept you likely already understand.
Publicity.
At their essence, these fancy digital terms are simply the new nomenclature
for gaining attention. Getting press, as it was labeled in days now past,
when intermediaries known collectively as "the media" decided who the
public became aware of.
Online, the public now decides who gets publicity. What a concept, huh?
It's been said time and time again that links are the currency of the web.
Without links, your odds of achieving significant online traffic (either from
other websites or search engines) without big ad bucks are slim to none.
It's not enough anymore to just get people talking... they need to be linking.
It's more important these days that they spell your URL right, rather than
your name.
It can be awfully lonely on the web when no one stops by.
If you're trying to do business online, lonely equals poor. Whether you're
selling products, services or advertising, you need visitors who not only stop
by, but return again and again. So it's not enough anymore to just get
people talking... they need to be linking.
Here's four crucial elements to gaining web traffic today:
First of all, you need to be blogging. Search engines and other bloggers love
the format, and it's the key to attracting traffic. You've got to join the
conversation and have something valuable to say before anyone will bother
acknowledging you.
Secondly, you'll need to learn some good old-fashioned publicity strategies.
The timeless things that have worked offline can also work great online.

3. Third, you'll need to examine how publicity strategies have been specifically
applied online. Be careful about violating the often complex rules of
"netiquette" that govern what is acceptable online.
Finally, you've got to make sure your focus is on your readers, and not
yourself. Publicity just for the sake of your own self-interest has a way of
backfiring, and online it can get really ugly.
