Blogs, forums and Google groups, what a lot of people do not know, are very useful tools to use in driving traffic to websites. For people who have SEO training and have been doing search engine optimization for quite some time, they have made use of blogs, forums and Google to help increase page ranks in search engines. One powerful factor that makes blogs, forums and Google groups very powerful is the fact that they are able to bring visitors who are actually interested with the topic that your website holds. However, in making use of any of the three or all of them, you should remember this piece of advice. Make sure that whatever you do is related to the blog, forum and Google groups that you use.

Blogging, for quite some time, was limited. It used to be just a place for people to write what they think of whatever things they want to write about. However, the power of blogging to increase traffic to websites was discovered and since then, it has become a major part in advertising websites. How does blogging actually help in getting traffic to one's site? First, posting articles in blogs can help pull visitors to your website by making sure that the articles that you post are of relevance to the content of your website and hold a certain authority to the topic it is talking about. Also, by makings sure that links, usually a maximum of two or three, going to your website are placed in every article that you post, potential customers and willing visitors who hold interest in the topic that your website has will be directed to your website. Another way of using blogs to generate traffic is through comment posting in other blogs, not your own, that also share the topic as your website has. Make sure that the comments that you post are relevant to the content of your blog, project a certain level of authority to the topics they discuss and includes a link going to your website. This combination would be titillating for the readers to come and visit your website.

Forums are very effective means of getting your targeted website traffic and very easy too. It does not require you to post long articles. Instead, what you need to do is just respond to the whatever is posted in the thread. Make sure that you are responding to threads that are relevant to your website's content and your replies are also relevant to whatever ideas you want to comment in the thread. Also, do not forget to make use of the signature in your post. Here you can place the link going to your website. However, you must know if the forum actually allows you to place links in the signature. If they don't, then these forums might not be too ideal to use. Yet, there are sites that also allow you to post your links in the replies itself. Or, you can make use of queries that people have to direct them to your website, especially if they are looking for detailed answers, examples, among others.

Google groups are also a very good avenue to find sites which share the same content as your website does. In this way, it is very easy for you to find people who would be willing to agree to exchange links with you. Or, you can also agree to help each other increase your websites' visibility in the page rank.
