Generating Free Website Traffic

Jody G — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:39:11 +0000

The first step to driving massive traffic to your site is understanding the difference between traffic and targeted traffic. You only want targeted traffic visiting your site or you’ll get loads of ‘tire-kickers’ who may look around, but rarely purchase your product or service. Targeted traffic consists of visitors who are already interested in your niche market. Having highly targeted traffic will increase your conversions exponentially.

So, you want to promote your website, but don’t want to spend a lot of money. Truth is, the strategies explained below, are not only free but they are some of the most effective ways to getting that targeted traffic.

Ezines. These are free, although it may take some time to build a good list of subscribers. If there is one thing I have learned, it is patience, and you should too. Your ezine should be of relevance to the topic of your website, and should give readers lots of information. The more you contribute about a particular topic, the sooner you will be regarded as an expert….take it from the expert.
Article Marketing. Positive changes are abundant when using the article marketing method. This is a terrific strategy for increasing targeted traffic to your site and seeing a rise in profits. Be sure to write quality articles with good and unique content. They need to focus directly on your niche market, just as I mentioned above, relevant content speaking directly to the niche of your website. It’s also important to learn the importance of keywords when writing your articles, and use them effectively. There are many free resources where you can submit articles, and in doing so regularly, publishers may want to use your information in their publications…nice!
Viral Marketing. One of the best ways to get more traffic to your site is by giving out freebies. Most consumers will stampede if you’re giving something away. Chances are, they will let lots of people know about this, and so on. It is kind of like the equivalent of word-of mouth advertising.
RSS. This stands for Really Simple Syndication. If you have a blog, then using RSS feeds has become an invaluable tool in getting traffic. Input some RSS feeds into your blog and watch the targeted traffic come flowing in. If you’re not sure how to do this, I’m sure whatever service you use to post has information on how to add it to your blog, it’s really simple.
SEO. You need to learn the importance of search engine optimization and how it works. Search engines rule, and you have to know how to optimize your site in order to get your pages noticed. I go into this deeper in other posts.

Getting targeted traffic to your site is a continuous process that you will have to maintian. Experiment with different methods, but don’t lose hope if you try one and it doesn’t work as well as you’d hoped. Good things take time, exercise patience and determination and you will see results.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Why You Need It

Jody G — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:59:07 +0000

It goes without saying, that the internet has revolutionized the way we live our lives. I won’t go into how, I think it’s pretty clear, but obviously it has changed the way we do business. Having said that, many people are striving to merely get noticed on the world wide web. So how does one go about getting their site past the multitudes of others and be recognized by their target audience?

Search engine optimization – hereon referred to as SEO – aims to help you get more traffic to your site, by aiding it in getting a higher ranking. A high-ranking site ensures you will be among the top results when using a search engine to find a product.

Two methods exist to help you get recognized by search engines; Pay-per-click advertising is one. Google Adwords is a perfect example of this. Here, you can place bids on their ads to be shown when a keyword is searched and is relevant to your site. Quite simply, the highest bidder gets the higher page ranking. Some people spend a small fortune on this, but can be worth it if your site has a high conversion rate.

Organic searches is the second technique. Your site ranking is evaluated by ‘spiders’ which scan sites and gather information about them. They use the information and pass it on to the search engine, which will list the websites based on ranking determined by the spiders. It’s important to have good relevant content on your site, or your ranking will be lower.

Do not underestimate the power of search engines, it is one of the fundamental concepts of the internet. A recent poll revealed that 90% of web surfers use search engines to help them find what they are looking for. Do you know how to use the Google on the internet machine?

SEO is vital for the success of your website. It determines the position of your site in relation to your competitors. It generates traffic from target audiences, but more importantly, it’s a cost-effective way of promoting your website.

Google Adsense Broadens the Scope of Internet Marketing

It has become clear that Google Adsense is dominating the internet marketing business and is presently considered the simplest way to earn money online.

Placing ads on webpages that already receive high traffic volumes for high demand keywords is the key to success with Google Adsense. The formula is simple; higher cost-per-click to the advertiser equals higher earnings received per click from your website. Having said that, it evidently does not pay to target lower cost-per-click keywords and then post them up on webpages that don’t receive a significant number of hits.

People are now becoming aware of new techniques on how to optimize their earnings on Adsense, so it comes as little surprise that Google is frequently updating and improving their Adsense interface in order to maintain their already stellar image. With the number of people now using it, and possibly even more about to, little doubt remains the Adsense will continue to improve.

There is one money-making feature on Adsense, that is especially useful, and that is the ability to filter out up to 200 url’s, which now gives webmasters the preference to block out lower valued offers from their pages as well as competitors to their sites. So now they can take only the profitable, and discard the ones that are not. Quality vs. quantity. Smarter not harder.

The possiblities are endless with Google Adsense, and for now, it is here to stay. So long as people want to earn an income online.
