Amazing New Discovery Drives Tons of Targeted Traffic to Your Website. Free!
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010How to Avoid Web Traffic Disasters, Part 15
Monday, December 28th, 2009Disaster #19. Skidding Wildly Off The Road Because Of Bald Tires
If you don’t have enough friction or conviction in your website then you will end up totally careering off the road. You need to be determined, committed and totally convinced that your website and its goals are true to who you are as a person.
Think I’m being wishy-washy here? Let me tell you – if you aren’t totally passionate about the subject matter and overall mission of your website that it will show in your copy.
Also, whenever you face challenges with traffic or anything else then you are not going to have what it takes to continue. You will not have enough friction to stay on the road towards success!
Disaster #20. Caught Dangerously Tailgating
Tailgating is when you follow the volatile hot trends of search engine optimization or traffic generation methods, rather than adapting the long-term strategy of developing quality content.
If the people you’re tailgating or following closely behind with these hot trends and new borderline acceptable techniques actually end up crashing and burning, then you’re going to crash right into the back of them. Hence the phrase tailgating.
So be your own manager of traffic. Don’t be tempted to start tailgating the latest hot trend or new killer technique just because everybody’s talking about it. It’s easy to forget that there are still traffic techniques available that are just as effective now as they were one, two, and even five years ago.
So there you have it. You now know the main traffic disasters to avoid. I hope this information has been useful to you. Although you’re now armed with what you shouldn’t do, I’m sure you’ll still need some further information on what you should do.
Disaster #21. Falling Asleep At The Wheel
You thought I said there were only 20 Traffic Disasters? Well this last one – Falling Asleep At The Wheel – is the BIGGEST killer of them all.
You can easily get caught out thinking that you know all there is to know about traffic or that you know enough to get by. But meantime – other people are over taking you all the time as they perfect new Web Traffic 2.0 methods.
You cannot afford just to rely on two or three different traffic methods. What you learned about traffic six months ago is no longer relevant.
“You must not fall asleep at the wheel – you must stay ahead of the competition by learning the best and most advanced traffic techniques!”
That’s why I’ve created a powerful series of how-to videos that show you step-by-step how to generate masses of traffic from virtually any source you can think of. I’ve created these videos from my 12 years’ experience online and they include lots of traditional methods, some new totally undiscovered methods, and also some methods that are so off-the-wall you won’t believe how effective they are.
The big thing with traffic is that there is no one big thing for traffic.
You need to be using multiple sources in parallel with one another. If you go where everyone else is you’re going to be splitting a small piece of the pie. However, if you employ some of the techniques that I show you in the videos, there’s next to no competition in these areas and you’re going to get a large slice of what is sometimes an even larger pie.
I wish you all the very best for you in your traffic endeavors – all I ask of you is that you be honest to yourself and continue to learn all the time. The more knowledge about traffic that you arm yourself with – the further and quicker you will travel!
How to Use Simple Written Articles to Drive Lots of Traffic to your Website – Part 1
Friday, December 18th, 2009For a long time now, article marketing has been useful in helping people drive lots of traffic to their websites. Unfortunately, many people do not think they can write very good article pieces and as a result, most of them give up. Article marketing can be hectic in the sense that you have to consistently write articles to meet the demands that are needed by those who may need your information.
Article marketing requires a lot of research and knowledge. If not, you’ll end up turning out garbage like most articles out on the internet. There are two major ways of writing your articles. You could either decide to write yourself or outsource –contract it to another person. Writing takes a lot of patience. If you have not been writing prior to this time, it will only take you 1 hour of practice every day for the next 1 month to become pretty good at it. All you need is the ability to gather your thoughts together and put them down on paper.
If you do not want to write by yourself, outsource your article contracts. For a little amount of money –say between $10-$15 depending on the length of the article- you could get article writers to write your articles for you and have them pass on all the rights to you. Whether you want to write by yourself or outsource, the best way to approach writing articles is by doing your research. You need to know what questions people are asking as you do not want to deal with issues that have been overflogged already.
Articles that are specific usually get a lot more high quality traffic than a generalized one. For example, if you wrote an article on autoresponders, you may get traffic but may not make any sales. But if you wrote an article on a topic like “How to make money using your autoresponder”, “How to suck in cash every time you send an email to your subscribers” etc., you’ll find people will readily listen. Reason? You are providing a specified content, giving high quality information and more importantly, answering a question that many people are asking. A typical example is this article you are reading. I could have titled it “Article writing: A general Overview”. Some people would sure take a look at what I have written just for looking sakes. But with the topic, “How to Use Simple Written Articles to Drive Lots of Traffic to Your Website,” you are bound to click through. Why? Because there is promise of my solving your traffic needs with the information in the article. Now, assuming I have a website at the end of this article with the title: “Article writing: A general Overview” or one with the title: “How to Use Simple Written Articles to Drive Lots of Traffic to Your Website,” which would you more likely click? Yeah, this one because I could solve your traffic generation or website promotion problems.
So, your article should be very highly targeted to the audience who would need the information you will be passing across to them. In the Part 2 of these series, you’ll find out the various techniques you can use in writing highly needed articles and generate lots of traffic from it.
Remember today’s lesson: Research the market, field, niche, or topic properly so you can know what questions people are asking and then solve it through your article.
More Web Traffic
Sunday, December 13th, 2009The more web traffic you get the better your sales will be and the more you will profit. I am sure you have heard this statement a thousand times but still the big question remains, “So how do I get more web traffic?” there are several easy ways.
Be sure that each marketing method you use is really suitable for your business. For instance some promotions like Google Adwords are very good for a niche market but social marketing might appeal to a broader market. Examine each marketing method before you use it, to be sure that it will really benefit your business.
Another thing that will bring more web traffic is testing each promotion. When you do this you will be able to see which promotions are working and which are not.
One of the best ways to get more traffic from your Google Adwords campaign advertising is to do split testing. You set up one campaign then set a second for the same product with a different ad. Try to out perform the first ad. Once you have done so you can replace the first ad with a third ad and try to out perform your second ad. You can duplicate this action until you have an ad that is pulling well.

Using Free Web Traffic to Build Your Business
Thursday, December 10th, 2009When I first ventured forth into the world of Internet Marketing, I was a bit intimidated by all the information that was out there about building a business on the Internet. While the majority of the marketing guru’s seemed to have their own opinions as to the best way to proceed, they all seemed to agree on the importance of building a list of customers that you could send your offers to. The problem was that in order to accomplish this, you needed to have lots of targeted traffic visiting your website. Since I was low on funds, I explored several free ways of increasing traffic such as FFA pages, blasters, safelists, etc. While most were useless in building my web traffic, through trial and error I eventually stumbled upon a few that actually did increase my web traffic. This article looks at several ways to increase website traffic that are completely free including reciprocal linking, traffic exchanges, writing short articles, and posting to forums.
One of the methods of increasing web traffic that many employ is linking to other sites. While there are a multitude of linking stategies, the one I’m referring to is exchanging reciprocal links with other sites. The first time I used this strategy was with an ‘Oldies Internet Station’ I had started several years ago. While our site was mainly about Oldies music, I was aware that there were many related sites such as collectibles, movie posters, CD and record sales, nostalgia sites, etc., that would be very interested in a reciprocal link exchange. After emailing several related sites, I received replies back from a few that were very interested in exchanging links. These savvy site owners quickly realized the advantage of linking to none competitive related sites. This has a been win-win situation for all of us, and I still receive targeted traffic from many of these sites today! If you decide to try linking to other sites, look for websites that are related to what your site is about, but don’t try linking to sites that are virtually identical to yours, such as trying to link to another Oldies music site if that’s what your site is about. Linking to related websites can be an excellent way to build long term residual traffic. The thing is, you just never know how much traffic one site can bring you over time.
Another method of building traffic is through the use of Traffic Exchanges. The mistake that many people make in using them is that they try and sell some product directly on the exchanges. A much more effective way to use traffic exchanges is to build a network of people who will continue to build traffic for you years from now. There are a couple of basic approaches to achieving this. First, you join numerous traffic exchanges and link one to another. For instance, you would advertise site A’s link on B’s site, B’s on C, etc. A more effective way to do this is to advertise one U.R.L. that has numerous exchanges intergrated into it so that by simply joining one site, your prospect could conceivably sign up for numerous exchanges under you. A couple of things to bear in mind; a great percentage of prospects that sign up will do nothing. This is the reality of this form of marketing, and you must have patience and understand that it’s simply a numbers game. You need to be persistent and understand that sooner or later you will sign up a go getter that joins all of your programs and actively works at building his and your business. It’s also a good idea to set-up your own unique pages. There are a ton of people using the same affiliate pages, consequently diluting the effectiveness of these types of sites. Create a simple page or two and advertise them on the exchanges. Traffic exchanges can be a great way to increase web traffic but it does take time and patience.
When looking to build long term traffic, one of the most effective methods I employ is writing short articles for article directories. There are numerous benefits to be had by writing and distributing articles through Article Directories. The first benefit is the direct traffic you receive from people clicking on your link in the Resource Box provided at the end of your article. But the real kicker occurs when a webmaster or some other person with a website decides to post your article on their website. Not only will your article be posted for all interested readers to see, but your article will also include your Resource Box with your links pointing back to your site. Finally, as your articles and incoming links increase, more weight will be given to your links since search engines often give added weight to sites with many revelant incoming links. Undoubtably, writing articles for directories is a real win-win-win situation!
Lastly, another great way to increase website traffic is through posting to forums. An online forum is a place where people come together to exchange ideas on subjects of interest. The way to use forums to increase traffic is when you sign up for a forum they will allow you to include a ’signature’ at the end of your posts, which is usually three or four lines of text which allows you to advertise yourself and your website. The key is that everytime you contribute a post, you are literally advertising yourself and your business. A very important benefit that comes from posting to forums is that Google indexes popular forums looking for relevant content, so if you’re a regular poster you could receive lots of advertising and traffic from them as well. A couple of things to keep in mind; when posting make sure that you’re adding something of relevance, don’t just add a ‘me too’ sort of post. Also, when joining a forum, make sure that you’re allowed to include your signature. Some forums require you to post 50 times or more before your signature is included. Be certain to understand the Forum’s rules before joining.
While building long term traffic takes time and effort, it will help lay the foundation that produces tomorrow’s success. Start today by using some of the free traffic builders, and be patient. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but…it was built.
How To Get Tons Of Free Web Traffic
Sunday, November 15th, 2009While some believe that attracting more people to their web site is the key to having success on the Internet, increasing web traffic is only a small part of any success where web sites and web pages are concerned. The point many miss when trying to up their web traffic is the quality of said visitors as opposed to the quantity of people viewing a web site. The reality is that a high number of visitors do not always correlate to increased profitability. One of the keys to success is attracting the right kind of traffic and not just increasing the traffic to your website. One of the problems in achieving this however is that most legitimate ways of attracting targeted prospects to your business such as PayPerClick advertising can cost a small fortune. While most methods of free advertising are a waste of time, there are legitimate ways of increasing your traffic that won’t cost you a dime. This article explores some of the best free methods of driving targeted traffic to your web site.
One of the most popular ways to advertise online is article directories. It begins by writing a simple article about the type of service a business operates in or a product the web site in question provides. Your next step would be to publish your article through one of the numerous article directories. This is particularly advantageous because articles published through these directories tend to stay published for a long period. In addition, a published article has the likelihood of showing up in multiple places throughout the articles lifetime. From there, two possibilities exist. The first will rely entirely on people reading your published article and clicking on the link, which will direct them to the web site mentioned in the article. Another avenue is to continue writing articles in hopes of gaining a following of devoted readers. With a faithful contingency of readers, one can expect their readers to seek out a writer’s works much in the same fashion as they would their favorite author or columnist, as well as spreading the word about the writer’s works, and in turn promoting the particular web based business through word of mouth advertising.
Another way of free advertising and increasing web traffic is through online forums. It is likely that most people have been on a forum at one time or another, but what many business owners fail to understand is the huge potential an online forum has for increasing web traffic to a particular web based businesses site. Since there are literally thousands of online forums, choosing the proper ones to post to is vital. The first thing is to find forums that will allow a short signature when making any post. These signatures normally consist of a few sentences and these sentences allow the author to give a brief but descriptive overview of the web based business in question. One consideration when posting on an online forum is to keep on point. Trying to use the forums to advertise your business is a no-no and people will be able to quickly ascertain what your motives are with your postings, and this will have the opposite effect of your goal of attracting people to your website. In addition, it is advisable to keep up a regular schedule of postings. Not only is this allowing hundreds if not thousands of people to view cleverly constructed advertisements disguised as posts, but also major search engines routinely indexes the many forums for listings. This means that the more often posts appear, the better the web based businesses site rankings will be. Forums are often thought of as the Internet’s equivalent to social marketing, so do not ignore this viable and effective form of free advertisement.
The last suggestion in generating increased web traffic for your business is through news groups like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. With these organizations, a business can post ads on these particular sites by creating what is known as a group. These groups can be created to reflect an individuals or a businesses interest. While a business can join an existing group, attention must be paid as to whether the group is delineated as public or private. If it is a private group, then joining that group will not be possible. In many cases, in order to effectively advertise a business, it is advisable to simply create a group. This allows a business more control over the group and its subject matter and can thus implement its advertising plan as it sees fit. The over whelming issue with this form of Internet advertising is how easy and simple it is to get going. All that is required is to select a name for the group, create the group, and begin posting. As always, keep the post relevant and regular, otherwise a business might find its group one day has disappeared.
Web traffic is indeed any web based businesses lifeblood. It would be more apt to say that targeted web traffic is indeed the one sustaining factor of any web business. Using any one of these free advertising models not only can a start up web based business save money advertising, but the business can have a fighting chance in a highly saturated and competitive world of Internet based business.
