We all know that Google is constantly changing their algorithms. It’s really very difficult for webmasters to maintain website traffic in this regular changing scenario.
I have received a lot of questions from webmasters about what to do to maintain website traffic. How can website traffic be maintained without Google? It’s not easy, but if you are persistent and use the following guidelines, you will reap the rewards of your efforts.
Following are some useful tips that will help you maintain your website traffic without depending on Google.
1. Social Bookmarking Sites: Very few SEO professionals are aware that social bookmarking websites such as Reddit and StumbleUpon are good sources for driving traffic to their websites. To ensure these websites will be useful to you, you must follow their guidelines and post informative articles, relevant to the subject to which you are posting
2. Video Marketing: Today video marketing is a great source to drive traffic to your website. For your information, YouTube is the second largest search engine after Google in driving traffic to a website. YouTube has more than a billion user searches a day.

In Google+, Facebook and other top social media websites try to post in your relevant communities.

It’s much easier, and far more productive in most cases, to simply join communities designed to help you. Be sure to follow their guidelines.
4. E-Mail Marketing: E-Mail marketing is really a good way to drive traffic to websites. Most of you assume that this is time consuming and not productive, but statistics show that those who put in the time and effort to e-mail marketing will be rewarded.

This is very important when Google is going through an algorithm change.
