Getting Hoards of Targeted Traffic
October 28th, 2009
Some people sell products from other website owners while others sell products and services that they offer. Regardless of what your online business model is, we need to drive tons of traffic to our website. You don’t just want any traffic - what you want is targeted and buying visitors.
In the early days of my internet marketing career, I learned about many techniques on traffic generation. Some of the software or services that I bought did me no good.
Listed below are the three traffic generation techniques that I found most effective:
* Placement of Links
Linking can be by either paid or unpaid methods. Adding links in e-zines or in other websites are some examples of paid linking methods. Make sure you need the traffic from that source before buying advertising space to make the most out of your money. In most cases, if ezines are accepting advertising, you know they must have at least 500+ subscribers, or I should say, be sure that they have at least 500+ subscribers before advertising in their ezine.
Creating articles is one way of placing links for free . This requires hard work on your part, but the return will be seen in the long term. Keep in mind, your articles should be relevant and address the subject matter of your site and products.
* Pay-Per-Click
If you have some advertising budget, it makes sense to put it in pay per click. Here you create an ad or ads relevant to your affiliate program, and place a bid on the keywords you select. This method can be quite tedious but there are software programs to help you like the ones used in the google secret loophole program. I would advise that you read your affiliate programs and pay per click rules before doing pay per click.
* Website Optimization
This involves targeting a particular keyword and optimizing your website for that particular keyword. Although you get free traffic with SEO, optimizing your website can be time consuming.
These are traffic generation tactics that are the most effective.
