How To Generate The Traffic You Deserve
Traffic, traffic and more traffic. The number one resource we all need in order to become successful on the World Wide Web! There are so many types of traffic generators online that anyone could easily become confused as to which ones to employ. You can test and test. And still, you will need to continue testing to refine your traffic generating technique until you come across those that actually work for you.
Traditionally there has been no one approach that works well enough to have anyone use one traffic generating program exclusively. Obviously, if there was just one traffic generating technique you could use to get all the traffic you would ever need, there would be no use for all of the many types of traffic generators available online today.
Here are some traffic generators that I have been experimenting with that I highly recommend: RSS Feeds, One-way Linking, Reciprocal Linking, Viral Marketing, Blogging, Article Writing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Of course there are many other types of traffic generators available to you. However, the ones I have listed here have been time-tested and proven to be effective.
The single most important thing anyone can do to build an online business is to employ a linking campaign creating links pointing back to their website or blog. If you have no links pointing back to your website how will you engage visitors? Especially if you do not have a top 10 listing on the major search engines. Additionally, linking programs work well because they are used to rank your website by the search engines. The more links you have pointing back to your site, the higher your search engine page rank will be.
And what is page rank? A simple definition is -- a search engines way of giving a specific value to how popular your website is. Page rank is measured by the number of websites and the "importance" of those websites that link back to your website. Again, the more websites that link to your website, the higher your page rank will be.
At one time reciprocal linking was felt to be the best type of link. But with an ever-changing internet and search engine algorithms changing constantly, it is now felt that one-way links are better than reciprocal links.
RSS Feeds - RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. It is basically a file containing information that can be accessed by other subscribers. Your information can be scanned by other website users to receive the messages that you may have otherwise sent as an email. RSS helps to increase your search engine ranking and helps to develop your business.
It is highly recommended that you research and obtain information on this method as it is fast becoming a very viable source for creating traffic in that it can replace your out-going e-mail marketing campaigns that are being blocked by ISP's spam blocking programs. With RSS this problem is eliminated. Of course, RSS can also be used in conjunction with your e-mail marketing campaigns.
Viral Marketing - This is usually in the form of an e-book. Here your your links are placed throughout the e-book which is in turn distributed over the internet. In most cases by giving it away free. The idea here is that one person gets your e-book with all of your links intact and that person is also authorized to "give it away free" to others. Thus creating a viral traffic technique containing all of your links to your program or product while being distributed all over the World Wide Web.
Blogging - Blog content can consist of news, stories, or articles that are used to build brand awareness for your website. It can even be a diary of your daily online activities. It is your pushbutton publishing tool. To my surprise -- by setting up a blog and linking it to my website; and most importantly by using the correct settings on my blog I was able to get links on Google instantaneously by pinging. This I found to be incredible!
Article Writing - is a great way to get links on nearly all of the search engines within days upon submission and acceptance of them to Free Online Article Banks that have a Google Rank of PR 3 or higher. You can also submit to Article Directories and have your work with your links distributed on nearly all of the search engines. Usually when one of the other search engine spiders see your link on Google they will pick it up and display it on their search engine as well. I associate article writing to the same concept as having an ad in a magazine. Most people save magazines; therefore, years later someone will pick up that magazine and place an order from an ad someone placed years before. Over time your articles will circulate all over the internet and your links will be available to your readers with your ad intact!
SEO - This can be a very complex subject. So complex that online entrepreneurs sometimes employ SEO companies to do their SEO for them and pay thousands of dollars to do so. So what exactly is SEO? To put it in a nutshell this consists of optimizing your website so that it will be search engine friendly. Of course it would be wonderful to have a top 10 listing on Google. However, that is not the easiest thing for the average online entrepreneur to do. Just keep in mind that being listed on the search engines in the top 10 position is not the only way to generate traffic. There are some savvy internet marketers that just don't worry about SEO because there are many other ways to get listed in the search engines. Some of which are right here before your eyes.
