Quick Tips and Tricks To Get More Traffic To Your Podcast
By Bill Griggs and Kingsley Grant

Podcast By Friday Episode 28:

In this episode, we discuss the various ways -tips and tricks - to get more traffic to your podcast. These tips and tricks can also be used to drive traffic to your website and other aspects of your online business.

So many people will pay very high fees to get traffic from those who promise them their "winning strategy" on getting traffic.

Sadly there are always those vulnerable people who don't know better and who out of desperation to get traffic to their business online or otherwise, will purchase these gimmicks.

Not all of these offers are gimmicks. Some are legitimate. The problem is trying to figure out which ones are valid.

What we have done is looked at a number of tools that you can use, which we have used ourselves, that result in you getting more traffic to your podcast.
Here is a summary of what we covered:

Pretty link - an URL shortener, user-friendly, Free & paid version .. prettylinkpro.com
Place keywords in title/heading including your name
Use Headers in your shownotes
Images: Alt Text, Size of image (1400x1400), JPG format, the type of Color and Art Work
