Did
you know that over 580 million people worldwide now have access to the Internet?
That's a lot of potential customers, yet most webmasters still have trouble even
getting a few hundred visitors a month.
Do you want to know a few secrets that
will explode your Internet business into the stratosphere? I'm sure you do, so
listen up because I'm going to share with you my most closely guarded traffic
generation secrets that have consistently generated hundreds of targeted visitors
to my websites everyday.
Traffic generation technique #1 - Getting listed
on Google
Google is currently the most popular search engine on the
Internet and is one of the only search engines that still list webpages for free.
If you get listed on Google, your webpages will also appear on Yahoo, AOL and
several other search engines, resulting in lots of quality free traffic to your
website.
Step 1. Find popular key terms related your website using
the search term suggestion tool. http://inventory.overture.com
Step
2. Check if your key terms have a lot of competition. Google ranks each website's
importance from 1-10 according to how many popular websites are linking back to
it. It displays each webpage's ranking on the Google toolbar. You can download
the Google toolbar here: http://toolbar.google.com
Search for your key terms
using the Google toolbar and if the top 5 websites for your key terms have a Google
PageRank of more than 5, don't bother trying to compete. Ideally, you want the
top 5 websites to have a PageRank of 4 or less.
Step 3. When you
have 2 or 3 good key terms, use them throughout your website.
Step 4.
Swap links with other websites. You want your link to appear on as many webpages
as possible that have a Google PageRank of 4 or higher. Create a new page on your
website to include links to your link partners' websites and swap links with as
many high ranking websites as you can. Google will find your
links on other
popular websites and list your website at the top of the search engine for the
keywords you chose.
Traffic generation technique #2 - Article submissions
Get your website published in hundreds of ezines and websites
around the world for free. Simply write an informative article
related to your business and send it out to ezine publishers,
article announcement lists and websites that accept article
submissions. If you include a small ad for your website at
the bottom of each article, you're guaranteed to get hundreds
of visitors to your website who already respect you and are
ready to buy! There are thousands of places on the Internet
that accept articles. Searching for "submit an article"
on Google returned 955,000 results! That should keep you busy
for a while ;-)
Traffic generation
technique #3 - Pay per click search engines
You can bid on keywords
related to your website and get a guaranteed listing in the search engines. You
only pay the amount you bid if someone reads your website's description and actually
clicks through to your website. Many pay per click search engines start bids at
$0.01 per click. That's 100 targeted visitors for only $1! Better still, may pay
per click search engines offer free advertising credits just for trying them out.
Do a search for "free pay per click search engines" and tap into to
this unlimited source of traffic today.
