Web traffic is the key to a very successful online business. Without it there will be no visitors who will take action. We all look forward for these kinds of actions that lead to monetization of a site. These actions are sales of your own services and products, pay per click campaigns or affiliate sales.

So the number one priority of every website owner is to somehow break the code and finally start pumping in some healthy traffic. Unfortunately, its easier said than done. For majority of websites operators it seems nearly impossible to find an effective way to drive traffic, let alone to somehow increase website traffic.

There is a method that will lead you to increased traffic. This method is well known for its almost instantaneous results of generating traffic. Its not one of the most affordable options for many webmasters who has to worry about initial investment and marketing budget. Yes, you are correct, I am referring to different ppc programs: Google adwords, Yahoo Search and MSN adcenter. Googles program has an automatic approval system that helps you to generate traffic in a matter of minutes. The other two ppc programs have a manual approval system, which means that human has to approve your submission, so it will take some time to get your wheels spinning.

In any case, its the fastest traffic you can get. Few minutes or few days, it doesnt really matter since other methods could take months to bring you substantial traffic. And you dont have to be a computer expert or seo genius to get tons of traffic with ppc, virtually for any niche market you want. There is only one catch with ppc, but its a big one. PPC traffic is one of the most expensive types of traffic on the net.

How else could you increase web site traffic? The most obvious answer is to increase your website organic search traffic. You could boost your sites traffic by utilizing a power of press releases, web logs, social networks, article submissions, by exchanging links with other sites, implementing seo, publishing guest posts and using many other techniques to get your on line traffic increased. Its going to improve you search engine positioning and therefore drive more search engine traffic to your site.

The first thing for you to determine is whether search engines are aware at all of your existence. In other words, is your website indexed by search engines? You might be surprised by the answer. Of course, if youre not indexed then your site is not going to show up in search results for any keyword at all. So you will have to get your site indexed first (we will discuss later how to do this quickly).

A thing to notice: if you dont see your site when you type in the keyword you wish to rank for, it doesnt mean youre not indexed. It just means youre not ranking well for that particular keyword. But your site can still be found (theoretically) on the one of the thousands of search results pages for that keyword. Of course, no one is going to look for you there, so your site is as good as dead. But if its indexed, at least search engines are aware of its existence. And now you can start working on improving your rankings.

To check if your site is indexed do the following: in any search engine type - site:yourwebsitename. For example, if your domain name is www.instantfreetraffic.com then you type " site:instantfreetraffic.com. If you receive a message that no results found or alike response, it clearly indicates that your website is not indexed. - 18098
