If you want to have a successful online business, you must drive traffic to your website. Without traffic, your website is pretty much useless. Traffic is the same online as it is off-line.

In this article I'm going to give you three key components that will allow you to start driving massive amounts of traffic to your sites. So, enough with the fluff, lets get into the meat and potatoes of this article.

1. Articles

Articles are a fantastic way to drive traffic to your sites. Obviously I believe in articles because you are reading this article written by me. So, as you can obviously see I do what I preach. So, I know that article's work.

You must write good quality articles in order to drive traffic. Putting up crappy articles that were written by people that can not speak proper English will not do you any good.

Also, you want to make sure that you have a well-written resource box. A resource box is where you are going to put links to your sites. When you are writing articles you must first give information. Then, you can add links in your resource box.

2. Blogs and Seo

Properly optimized blogs are a fantastic way to send traffic to your sites. The search engines love blogs. Blogs are continually updated and always giving the search engines new content to index. So, if you can maintain a properly optimized blog that targets long tail keywords in your niche, you will be above the competition when it comes to driving organic traffic.

Unfortunately, most people do not know how to optimize a blog or even know what a blog is. So, if you can use a properly optimized blog you will definitely have a head up on the competition.

3. Affiliates

If you are selling your own information product it is great to have affiliates. Affiliates go out and drive traffic to your site for a percentage of commission for doing so. So, if they send you a ton of traffic that results in 10 sales you do not need to pay them until those 10 sales are made. So, it is just like getting free traffic. You are not doing the work, and you do not have to pay for that traffic until sales are made.

This is a great way to drive traffic, but you need to have an affiliate program. There are many ways to start your own affiliate program. You can use your own hosted solution or there are many other solutions you can use that are hosted for you. It is all up to what you are trying to accomplish.
