Targetted traffic for long run by s jeet
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 .
