Targetted traffic for long run
Targetted traffic for long run .
Traffic . The lifeblood of an internet business .
What can any internet business dream off ? Sales of course .
But to have sales you need people . Not just people but people
who are interested in the product you are selling . Below are
listed the most effective techniques of generating traffic to
your website or sales page .
A little warning first . You would have come across
advertisements that you pay some dollars and the firm will
divert traffic to your website . If you sign up you will also
see a dramatic increase in your hit counter but rarely any sales
. This is because the traffic that is coming is not interested
in your products . You don't want some 12 years coming to your
website seeking fun but potential customer and newsletter sign
up's . Be careful before buying such services .
Here are the most effective traffic generating methods that
will keep adding to your bank account in yearss to come .
1 - Get a good search engine listing . This is where people
search for what "they are looking for" . They are interested in
the product or service they are searching and it can be really
rewarding to show up on the first page of search results in
Google , Yahoo and MSn .
You can hire a seo firm or do it yourself . If you choose to
hire someone then make sure they know what they are doing . If
you choose to do it yourself then make sure you have good place
to learn . Learning from people who are themselves novice can be
harmful .
It is although recommended that you Hire someone as you don't
want to waste a lot of time learning something and then implying
it . Let someone who knows handle the job while you concentrate
on other methods and products .
Although if you have sufficient time , then learn it yourself
and imply the methods on all your websites .
2 - Write articles
that are closely related to your website content and add a
resource box at the bottom with your link in it like your name ,
company name , a little intro and a link .Now send these
articles to publishers and submit to articles hubs and article
sites.Search google for article submit and you should find many
article sites which publish articles. An example of a resource
box is below this article . You can also mention some free offer
you have in this box like I have done .
3 - Start a newsletter . The most important of the traffic
program . I repeat it is the most important of any promotion
methods you can do .
Once you have a large newsletter you can simply send an email
and get many people ( subscribers) coming to your website to see
your offer . People even have 150,000 readers of their
newsletters.Just imagine that many people reading your offer
with all the interest you want .
It's not that easy although . Requires time,patience and a real
good skill to make people read your newsletter . It takes only a
click to delete an email.
People charge to write newsletter emails so the email gets read
and acted upon . The intention is that people open the email and
read it and click the link you have provided in it to your
affiliate product or your own product .

Remember the newsletter is one tool that drives targetted
traffic automatically .
4 - Email signature. Add a small line of your website intro in
your email signature .So next time you send an email , your
website ad goes along . My firm "also" designs websites and I
often come across poorly designed websites . I then send an
email to the owners suggesting them the changes that they can
make to have a better website and I also tell them they should
contact "their webmaster" .People contact me instead . I never
said that I can make the changes or this is the cost of doing
these changes but the signature line speaks for itself . Do it
with your emails also . Good work gets you references and more
business .
Don't send spam emails . I actually visit the websites and send
email only if I see something that can be improved .
5 - Banner exchanges. I am not very sure of the results that
this method gets but as said something is better than nothing .
If you are not doing anything else then try this method .
Exchange banner ads with other sites that are related to yours
.Like if you are a website designer you can exchange ads with
graphics designers.
6 - Place advertisements on pay per click . This is where you
PAY when someone CLICKS your ad . Two places which have very
good exposure are :
-Google adsense
-Yahoo publisher network (YPN)
You can bid on a search term and websites with related content
shows your ad . Example if you bid on "search engine
optimisation" then Search engine optimisation related websites
which are displaying ads with these programs can show your ad
automatically . Start with a small investment and if you see the
benefit then continue with more budget . Have a good tightly
targetted landing page here .
7 - Advertise on other high traffic websites . Get ready to
have a nice budget if you plan on this .
You can also run an advertisement in someone's newsletter . You
must although first make sure how many readers they have and the
quality of the newsletter .
You advertised and people deleted the email . What good is that
?
8 - Affiliate program . This is where other people promote your
products for a commission you have fixed . They get a portion of
money from each sale generated from their lead .
9 - Offline advertising . Advertise in newspapers and magazines
with your complete URL displayed in the ad .
Always and always track your traffic . Try to find out which
program is working for you . Where are your targetted potential
customers finding you . Be there a lot and you have a lot of
them finding you .
To sum up I have personally found that search engine listing ,
articles and Newsletters are the most effective of all . You
must concentrate on these more than other methods .
