Track all sources of traffic generation
Track where all traffic comes from and at what cost. It is crucial to know exactly how many sales, newsletter sign-ups, or other leads your particular marketing campaigns generating. This enables you to work smarter and not harder. By tracking all traffic to your site you can make twice as much while working fifty percent less.
Content is King
On the internet, people are searching for one thing....... Content! Load your website with as much content as possible. Then, continuously add content. Search engines love information and they will love your site if you've got lots of it. There's plenty of free content for the taking on the internet. You can load up your site with articles from article directories like ezinearticles.com.
Affiliate Programs
An affiliate program is critical to maximum traffic and sales. Lots of internet marketers don't take advantage of this powerful traffic-generating technique. An affiliate program allows you to have your own personal salesman spread all over the web. The best part about it is that there is absolutely no risk involved but tons of traffic and sales to gain. Your website simply cannot grow to its full potential without an effective affiliate program.
Take advantage of your virtual real estate
Take advantage of the different parts of your website. Don't let any of your web pages go to waste. You can do this by adding a link to another one of your web sites or pages on your thank-you or sales confirmation pages. If you have articles on your site, place links to related articles on the bottom of the page. The longer you keep a visitor at your web site, the more valuable they become.
It is very important to funnel traffic from within the multiple sites you may have.
Continually seek out other web sites to link to you. Now, we're not just talking about any kind of link here, but powerful, traffic-generating links from respected sites.
Online group participation can produce a no-cost stream of traffic and sales
Get involved in email discussion lists, online groups and forums that are related to your target market. Becoming involved in discussions makes you very credible. Traffic from forums can produce a much higher sales conversion rate.
This method can produce quite a bit of traffic for you just by helping others out. Not to mention, you'll learn a lot along the way.
1. Word of mouth is probably the best and the most effective way to get traffic to your site.
2. Reciprocal links is another popular method which you can use to gain traffic to your business website. Before starting your reciprocal links strategy, make sure you determine the keywords you want to use for your main index page.
3. Give the visitors a free entry into a contest on your site. The prizes for the winners should be something of interest or value. Most people who enter the contest will revisit your web site to get the results.
A Simple, Easy, Legitimate Way To Get FREE Traffic To Your Site!
by: Ian Simpson
In his ebook "Turn Words Into Traffic", Jim Edwards teaches you step by step how to create articles right through to getting your article physically ready for distribution. The author shows you how to take the hard work out of writing articles by drastically reducing the time it takes to write and produce them.
Many ebooks fail to keep the reader interested simply because the contents are just a re-vamp of another ebook and then filled out with "fluff". This is not the case with "Turn Words Into Traffic" and the author still manages to fill over 160 pages with critical "How To" information. I am impressed by the professional way that Jim has written and presented this ebook but it does not stop there. Jim follows up with a series of quality, unadvertised add-ons with even more tried and tested formulas for writing effective and interesting articles easily.
Jim Edwards is well respected throughout the internet marketing community and he has spent many hours testing his methods before putting them into print and he uses exactly the same formulas himself to sell his many ebooks and courses. In his sales copy as well as the text of the ebook, Jim Edwards claims that anyone, regardless of their previous experience can write articles to promote anything, including software and ebooks and any scepticism that I had has been confined to the litter bin.
In "Turn Words Into Traffic" I found the most value in the fact that Jim doesn't just tell you how to write articles as an effective means of marketing your products or services, but he shows you step-by-step exactly how to do it. There are short assignments throughout the ebook for you to complete ensuring that you are pro-active during reading. A summary of all the assignments make up your personal "article blueprint" for future reference on all articles you write.
"Turn Words Into Traffic" takes a truly hands-on approach, explaining logically and systematically, how to take a proven formula that has been rigorously tested and fine- tuned and apply it to your own personal requirements. The ebook is broken down into 2 Parts and a resources section.
Part 1 concentrates on the creation and production of your article and is further broken down into 11 steps each with an exercise for you to complete. These step by step exercises will ultimately form your first finished article.
Part 2 of the ebook contains 11 sections and guides you through the best way to keep organised as you create more and more articles using a recommended formatting tool and some clever promotional strategies and tactics. Also covered, amongst other vital information is the right way of creating a compelling resource box and subsequent submission to directories, ezines, websites and other effective places to get your article noticed on the web.
As with all ebooks that have a vast amount of content to read and learn from, it can take time and effort to become enthused to start reading, but once you start to understand the logical sequence of article writing shown in "Turn Words Into Traffic", it begins to become clear. In a nutshell, it takes the "thinking" out of article writing.
In the past, I have found that I have a short attention span when it came to reading and digesting information, so I did not believe reading another ebook would make any difference. I have been proved wrong in this case as not only have I read the whole ebook from start to finish but I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read.
I usually like to apply some constructive criticism when reviewing software or informational products but only when they deserve it. I cannot see how "Turn Words Into Traffic" can be improved upon as an informational product except to update the content when necessary to reflect marketing trends at the time. When you buy an informational product you expect it to deliver on its promise, especially when you have probably been sold it through some slick sales copy. Does "Turn Words Into Traffic" deliver on its promise? (Does a dog bark?)! I have no hesitation in giving this ebook 9/10 for its sheer professional content. I would certainly recommend this ebook to anyone who wants to write articles but does not know where to start.
Hopefully, Jim Edwards will continue to create and publish other ebook gems on internet related subjects that will compliment his current work.

Here is one you don’t see everyday and has generated a nice income for me!
It requires no work at all and it’s free!!!!
It's not an autosurf or surf exchange program. It's a toolbar application.
You simply install this little toolbar in your msn or firefox browser and everytime you open your browser and surf the web, you get ad credits. You can also develop a downline, so when they surf, you get more credits.
The difference with this tool is that you are not required to surf any particular site. Other traffic generators typically require you to surf other member sites to get credit. However, whenever I check my affiliate stats, search things in google, or just read today’s news in cnn.com, I get credit!
This utility is owned by Mike Filsaime, a very well respected internet marketer. The site has a terrific forum and a huge community of prominant internet marketers.
Do you have the instant buzz code on your website or do you just use the desktop tool to get credits and then exchange for the traffic.
Most of my sites being sales page websites,,, selling software I do not want to send my visitors away to other sites thus loosing sales.
Same would go for any adsence sites I own I want my visitors to click on the adsence sites to earn from that click and not send them away to another site.
I personally know Mike myself and chat to him all the time on MSN messenger...But have not tried instant buzz now for a long time,, I think I still have my account there lol but need to find my login info,
I think I'll chat to Mike about it some when I meet him next month in Sydney for the Internet marketing Super Conference.
Anyone got any questions they want me to ask Mike,, if so post them here and i'll make a list of them and then reply back with Mikes answers when I get back.
