Online business owners all over the world often ask the question "How to get more web hits?". Why is there such a need for web traffic? Can an online business be successful without performing any kind of web traffic generation?

Web traffic is important for online businesses. It is the being from which an income will be generated from. Without traffic, an online business will very quickly go out of business. It is simple, really. No Traffic = No Sales = No Profit = No Income = No Business.

In the physical world, in order for a business to make any form of a sale, it must first do some marketing. Without marketing, it would be very difficult for the business to make any sales at all. No one would know of its existence in the business world.

The same thing applies to an online business. Even more so. An online business has no physical presence. It exists only in the cyberworld. Hence, if no marketing is made to inform everyone about its existence, no one would know that the business exists.

The marketing strategies required in the online world is a the differing factor. It is far simpler and less costly to do marketing on the internet. Don't believe me? Read on.

1. Signature Marketing

Everyone sends out emails today. Everyone read emails today. How many emails do you send and read every single day? Dozens, I suppose.

The sheer number of email exchanges we see everyday makes it one of the best marketing strategy for your online business. How? Simple. Just add a line or two at the end of your email. Better known as email signature.

Many include their name, position, and contact numbers in their email signature. Only a few include their website url in there too. That's such a waste of cyber resource.

Just think of the number of people you reach out to with emails everyday. Each one of them is your potential customer or partner, if they are not already.

All you need to do is write a line or two about your business and include the URL of your website. Set it up once and it will be included in all your outgoing emails. All your email contacts now knows about your web site. They will certainly at one time or the other click and visit your web site.

This signature strategy also works quite well in discussion forums. Apply the same strategy in all the forums you frequent and watch how your traffic soar.

2. Blog Comments

How many blogs in your niche do you frequent daily? Have you ever posted a thought or two on any of these blogs? If you have not, you better start.

These relevant blogs, is also another source of marketing for your business. In almost all blogs, you are allowed to post your comments. One of the fields you have to fill in when posting your comment is a field named Website URL. Does that sound familiar?

Yes, put in the URL to your business website when you comment on a blog. Don't fill it with your blog URL, unless you want to drive traffic to your blog.

Don't know what to comment? One thing's for sure. Do not comment with just phrases like "Hi there. Nice post." or "I agree with you too" or "Cool looking website dude".. you get it right?

3. Connecting With Links

Websites basically live on link love. Yes, no website can survive on the internet without sharing some links with other sites. What am I talking about?

They are probably better known as a blog-roll in blogs. This is where the blog add links to other blogs they frequent. Business sites, on the other hand, have an area or page which lists down their partners, affiliates and perhaps customers. Personal sites will have links to other family member sites or friends.

Those are connecting links or in internet marketing lingo, reciprocal links. It's where two parties agree to put links to each other's website on their site. So, all you really have to do is to contact the webmaster or owner of the other website and request for a link exchange. Then both sites will put up a link to each other.

Signature, Comments and Links. That's the three simplest and probably cheapest marketing strategies. You can certainly and surely utilize the above mentioned for your online business. One thing is for sure, they will not cost you a single penny.

Are you an online business owner? Have you implemented the 3 methods above? Do you think they are worth doing?

If you haven't tried them out. Perhaps, it's about time to start doing them. What have you got to lose? You're not going to lose traffic. They don't cost a single penny.

Time? How long does it take to make a signature for your emails and forum posts? 10 minutes? That would already be too long. You don't have 10 minutes to spare?
