There are a number of questions I get asked often by my clients about developing and growing their business using their websites.
But I’d say one question is asked more than any other – “how do I get (more) traffic to my website?”
So last fall I began mindmapping all the ways I could come up with to get more website traffic. My first goal was to reach 100 ways to get more visitors. I quickly, however, crossed that boundary into 147 ways. Then I stopped listing them and taught a couple of teleclasses from my list.
Some time in January, I picked the list back up and started adding to it. Soon, I was past 200 ways to get more traffic. And I settled on more than 220 different ways to get more website traffic. I’m sure the list will continue to grow, and I’ll definitely continue updating the materials I have.
So now I had this list of all these ways to get more website traffic – the next thought, “what should I do with it?”
Of course, being a blogger I know a list like this would make incredible link bait. I even began a post on the topic. But the more I thought about posting it, the more I felt that just giving it away for free would dilute it’s value. I thought about how many lists you can find in the blogosphere and how often those lists get hot for a couple of days, then dropped.
My business is about helping business owners find hidden profits in their business and exploit them. So I didn’t want something of such value that could help so many people, go to waste.
So I’ve decided to, once again, offer my traffic driving booklet as a teleclass – 220 Ways to Get More Traffic to Your Website.
What’s great about this format is that I can provide a booklet listing all my website traffic generating ideas AND make myself available to answer questions about how to use them. So that’s what we’re going to do.
Next Wednesday, July 1 I’ll lead a 60 minute teleclass for you that covers (some of) the materials in my booklet, 220 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Website. Half the call I’ll speak on some of my most successful tips in the booklet and briefly on topics like qualifying traffic and tracking traffic sources. Then, the second half of the call is yours to ask me any questions you like about any of the methods I list in the booklet.
UPDATE: I have 60 8 copies of the entire course materials, including the 53-page booklet, my series of mindmaps and the 60-minute audio recording available right now for purchase. Click here to buy now for only $69.
Let me be clear here, the 220 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Website booklet is not just a list. I’ve included some tips in the beginning and have tips and commentary on every single traffic generation technique I cover. And you get to keep the booklet.
What’s more, I’ve also decided to include the mindmaps that helped me initially create, organize and structure the more than 50 pages that make up the booklet. So you’ll get the booklet and the mindmaps together.
Also, I’ll be recording the call and forwarding the a link to the recording so you can download it. So if you can’t make the live teleclass order right now and you’ll receive the booklet, the mindmaps and the full 60-minute audio.
One last thing – since I want to give ample time for you to ask your questions about driving traffic to your site, I’m limiting the number of copies for sale to 60 8. After 60, I’ll won’t have any more for sale.
Here’s what’s included:
- My 53 page booklet 220 Ways to Get More Traffic to Your Website & Increase Your Business, with tips and commentary for each method.
- A Series of Mindmaps summarizing each of the traffic driving methods – use as a resource when deciding which methods to use. I used these mindmaps in developing the course materials.
- A 60-minute LIVE teleclass with me, talking about how to find the right traffic for your business.
- Time for you to get your specific questions answered. There will be ample time to take your specific questions. And since conversation often leads to the most interesting teaching, the more questions, the merrier.
- I’ll record the teleclass and send you a link to download it in full.

There was so much in the booklet that when I got it before the class, I was overwhelmed. But your calm voice and simple explanations took me from overwhelm to excitement. Can’t wait to launch my website.

What’s inside?
This isn’t just some random list I’ve come up with that I’m tossing at you. Rather, I painstakingly put together the booklet and the mindmaps over a number of months to give you the most complete resource I know of. Then, I divided the booklet into 13 different categories for building your traffic. Here’s those categories:
- 7 ways to drive website traffic using General Office ideas
- 8 ways to drive website traffic by getting Published Offline
- 22 ways to drive website traffic through Direct Marketing Offline
- 16 ways to drive website traffic through Networking Offline
- 12 ways to drive website traffic through Email Marketing
- 59 ways to drive website traffic through Marketing Online
- 7 ways to drive website traffic through Backlinking
- 28 waysto drive website traffic through Blogging
- 14 ways to drive website traffic through Social Bookmarking
- 22 ways to drive website traffic through Social Media
- 11 ways to drive website traffic through Online Paid Advertising
- 13 ways to drive website traffic through Offline Paid Advertising
- 21 more ways to drive website, my Final Brain Dump
There it is. You can see the breakdown of how many ideas come from which sort of categories. And there’s something there for everyone – offline marketers, social marketers, paid advertising, even email. And if you add up all the ways, there’s actually 240. I just got tired of changing the name of the program.
Here’s the details:
- Teleclass will be Wednesday, July 1 at 1pm eastern / 10am pacific U.S. time I’m making this available for a limited time
- There are ONLY 60 8 COPIES of this course available
- The cost is $97 SPECIAL SUMMER PRICE $69!

Dawud, why haven’t you been teaching more often. I love your way of explaining complex ideas with simple language. The course and your enthusiasm helped me believe I could actually get more people to see my website. Thank you.

I’ve had more 300 people take this course. All have told me that they would have paid more knowing what they know now. And many are now using my suggestions to actually get more clients.
So if that’s the case, why would I lower the cost to $69? Just like the hundreds of others who have these materials, I know that you’ll get a huge benefit from taking this course. My clients constantly ask me for information about driving traffic to their website. So I’m simply making it easier for more people to get access to this all-important information. After all, no website traffic, no business.
Now, let’s get you registered before you lose your slot.
Now there’s two things left to do:
- First, order your copy right now.
- Second, tell 5 people who need to get more traffic to their websites. Send them an email, make a phone call, text message them, Tweet about it on Twitter, Write a blog post – however you can reach the people you want to help.

Great idea presenting this as a teleclass – in my opinion, it’s the best way to present material online because you can distribute the content in an electronic format and discuss it live, at that moment.
I’m going to be out of town on business, but I’ll be sure to recommend this to friends. Given the usefulness of tips in the past, I’m sure this will be the most informative yet.
Good idea to not release your info for free and dilute the value, though it would have made fantastic link bait. I for one can only think of a few ways to get traffic (very unimaginative person) so I’ll probably tune in.

Learning more than 200 ways to get more traffic to a website, this could be a lot of way and I pretty sure that all of these will work just fine.
I will be recommending some of my friends to these I just need to get their permission that I will be referring them for this wonderful knowledge that you wish to share on how we can improve traffic to our website….
That live telecast is very interesting. I’ll spread it to my friends. Those 200 ways to get more traffic to a website is something worthy and a must to be learned.
Pretty cool that you’ve done this. But I would have liked to see some examples from this list of 220. Surely a couple of freebies would be a good idea to give the buyer an idea.
Thanks for info. Defenitely a good way to present your tutorial. I’d do the same thing, although I think it would do a great post. I’ll recommend it also to some of my friends.
I use Twitter to drive traffic and build my personal brand.
Web owners one of the major problem is gaining the site traffic. Nice to have these tips. This is an additional information for us.
It would be a very great idea if we keep on reading tips that could help the improvement of ones site.
WoW, Dawud. You’re really an amazing guy! If you want me to list out the 220 ways to drive more traffics to our websites, I might be completely surrendered, as I very suck in driving potential traffic!
I used the social bookmarking sites to build up my website traffic. It seems to work pretty well to me, Dawud!
Interesting, it’s too bad I missed the July 1 date. It looks like it’s still available for purchase, though, even though you said you won’t be making it available after the class. I’m considering buying it but I’m going to think about it some more and come back later to see if it’s still available. On my own, I probably can’t think of more than 20 or 30 ways to drive traffic to a website.
If the traffic would be a more concentrated and targeted traffic then i would be not hesitant to give a shoot at your list of ideas.
Having these tips available are a very useful source for business owners. Increasing traffic to your site helps increase the success of businesses a lot.

You did well with the title. I thought this site would give me that “220 ways.” Anyway, thanks for trhe info. I hope you would give some copies for free.
Thanks for the great post! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many ways to market traffic to a website in one place. I’ve got a couple of friends that will be interested in this post, I’m going to tell them about it. $69 is cheap for so much info.

How about a YouTube video walkthrough instead of a teleclass? Not a lecture or presentation but a session with us viewing your desktop and you can have it annotated and talk us through how you do what you do.
Having these tips available are a very useful source for business owners. Increasing traffic to your site helps increase the success of businesses a lot.
This would be a great list to have and $67 isnt a bad price! I bet offering a money back guarantee would help you sell them!
There are so many positive comment here about your product. Hmm.. may be I can buy your product next time, or may be you want to give me free? 😀
Thanks.. I bookmarked this site.. You are so trusted blogger! You are in the top list of Google too..
Perhaps I can follow you too. I’m from Indonesia. May be your price is so high in my land 🙁
If it is a well known company you do not need to drive traffic. But for any company needs more customer those are really important ways
$67,,its too expensive..i have an advice.why you dont put the 10 way to get traffic first. give the beginning one but its proven.then you will easily to sell your product.
give some prove then people trust you.
@berita
I appreciate your advice. Yet, one thing it seems you’ve not considered is that I’ve had more than 300 people take the class before I made it a product with no complaints and no refunds. If anything, the depth of the information has overwhelmed people. Secondly, this is the second time I’m making the product available. I’ve sold more than 100 copies these two times as well. And, once more, I get only positive feedback from people.
One thing I’ve learned is that trust is built in more ways than just giving away free products. For instance, there are than 400 quality blog posts on my site. These posts offer the same sort of advice and guidance as my paying clients get from me – client’s I’ve helped double and triple their income. Now, of course, my blog isn’t giving you the direct, customized one-on-one advice you’d get from me for your specific business needs as you’d get working with me directly. Yet, much of the content on my blog can utterly change how you do business. In other words, people who actually use my advice find that their business works better, they get more clients and they make more money. So I see trust as built by the quality of content and by reputation far more so than giving away free products all the time.
So stick around. Try what I suggest. And see for yourself if I’m trustworthy.
Again, I appreciate your response. Thank you for providing me with an opportunity to share mine.
I think twitter is the best way to get traffic to your site nowadays. That and digg. I also like to use article marketing but am awaiting the benefits of this.
very expensive… share your knowledge and you will blessed a hundred folds. 🙂
Great ways you are defined to get traffic to our website.wonderful knowledge you are share with readers.Thanks for sharing 🙂
220 ways is just amazing! But, with this so many ways, won’t the entrepreneurs get a headache studying all those stuffs and testing what definitely could work for them? Well, for somebody who is dedicated to really make their business work, buying a booklet and spending time to study it is worth their while. This must be a good read since I’ve been reading your blog and I learned a lot.
I sure could use that booklet. I’m learning a lot reading your stuff!
This is really an excellent way to help web business get more traffic. However, what is the schedule for the live teleclass?
This is really great advice here. The confusion I always had when I was starting out was that I didn’t realize the relationship between solid backlinks and traffic. The backlinks move your site up the SERPS and from there you get the traffic because more people will see.
So it all starts with backlinks and a sensible linking campaign.
Best wishes,
Sal.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have to admit that creating a website isn’t the hardest thing to achieve. Getting traffic is most difficult but with this post you should really help a lot of people like me to achieve this.
Nice post there.
Making a website needs some hard-work but gaining a proper view from many visitors is a very hard-working objective.
Getting website traffic is a difficult job.
I mostly do, submissions for my site and link building with sites having good traffic, but I mostly believe in banner ads which is improving my traffic.
My goal during the slow season of my Irvine CPA practice is to develop leads online and that includes getting traffic to my website. Im just checking things out, but this is a possibility to get my CPA website more traffic.
I got used to pay attention on a comment people, and they are all positive here, consider that a product is necessary. Informing article. Thank you.
I agree with Reggi, getting a website up and running is easy, the hard part is delivering the traffic. Will look forward to hearing future tips on this area.
nice post, thanks for your ideas!
I agree with Website design tampa , nowadays twitteris the best way to built your own brand and have faithfull followers but of course delivering the traffic is a subject which needs so much time , hard working and patience !
Very useful info. Social marketing & twitter worked well with my site. But I still need more traffic so i will try the others you suggested. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas.
Articles tend to give slow promotion of website in the beginning, It needs time to work, Most impotant thing authors have to do is to avoid submitting exact copies of their articles to multiple directories !
Hey nice blog it is really informative and quite useful really working for my site , suggest some more tips like this thanks and keep rocking
Very informative post. Thanks for sharing your insights in building traffic to websites. I normally used to do SEO linkbuilding for getting organic traffic, but I also found that we can get lot of targeted traffic using social media sites like facebook if we create a relevant group and add fans.
I also think that 220 ways is just way too many to study. Finding the best/most effective 20 or less of these ways would be alot better.
Having these tips available are a very useful source for business owners. Increasing traffic to your site helps increase the success of businesses a lot.
I used the social bookmarking sites to build up my website traffic.
Targetted traffic from social sites is an important part of a varied profile
This is really an excellent way to help web business get more traffic. However, what is the schedule for the live teleclass?
It’s very hard to pick and choose which methods of driving traffic to your site are the best and most effective. Testing all 240 methods would be painful and costly, so breaking it down to manageable chunks would be helpful.
