Are you asking about organic ways to get traffic, or advertising? Advice really depends on the niche itself, how competitive the niche is, who your competitors are and what they are doing. There's no "one size fits all."

If you're trying to rank organic, you still need links. Preferably good relevant links that send real traffic. Who links to your competitors? That's a good place to start. If you're a local business, you need to get profiles up on the local business portals.

If you're looking to advertise, costs vary depending on the niche and your competition - if you're thinking Adwords or Bing be very careful and read, read, read their tutorials - there's always an investment up-front before you see ROI, but noobs usually make very bad mistakes and waste a lot of money for nothing. If it's what's in your sig, you'll need a robust budget regardless, unless you can target a small micro-niche.

Social media - being active is good, varied results depending on where your target audience is and the channels they use looking for a product like yours. Paid (i.e. FB ads) - again, depends on how well you can target a demographic and whether they use social media to discover your type of product.

Fiverr has its uses - Videos are OK, but don't use fiverr to send traffic or links directly to your site!

thanks for the tip, yes its whats in my signature, binaryoptions or forex would be the targeted niches...ive been getting some traffif from google already and i havent even started advertising yet, also i am on clickbank

Enjoy it while you've got it! PPC for that won't be cheap, and I don't know how much of that target market is on FB (or would click on ads for that type of product)

FYI, for me, the site took several seconds to load. I know you have a progress display, but especially with PPC if the site doesn't come up FAST people click back. Might want to do some testing on that.

yeah i know, thats the one thing i noticed as well, we are working on it, thanks for all the help, i was thinking of using jemamedia.com for cpc

Not familiar with them ... not sure I'd want to be!

hmm, i see your point, possibly to start with them wont be bad, and once we generate more money we can move to more legitimate forms of traffic...

 

[enlytend]

That kind of traffic doesn't generate money because there's no purchase intent.

Smartmomstyle.com, that received traffic from Jema and Adknowledge. In one case, the entire site’s home page, ads and all, was delivered to users within an iFrame—that is, the entire site was rendered invisibly as a user visited another site.

It's cheap, but you get what you pay for. Could also hurt organic rankings (depending on the usage patterns it creates and what the search engines can measure.) You'd probably do better with a lot of research and smart usage of legit channels.

I would also prefer SMO because now a days many traffic coming from social network sites, for example if you have 10k likes on your facebook page that there are more possibilities that more often they will visit after watching your updates. So, it is not only for one time but also good for SEO as well.

If this is a business, why do you only have a one year registration?

As mentioned before, your main page, as well as others, load very slowly. You need to ditch the flash script.

If you want to give your site more legitimacy, then you should eliminate the privacy shield on your domain. Especially for this product you are marketing. I would want to know who I am dealing with and giving money to.

You should be updating the performance page daily. Your last entry is from August. I suspect that you have been trading since then.

I haven't seen another financial service website that offers trading advice have advertisements on them like yours. You should want to keep visitors on your site and not have them leave to a competitor. Sure you might make a little bit of money from the click, but wouldn't you make more money selling that person a course or service? In other words ditch the banner ads.

You should also have a link on your website about who you are, what expertise you have in this field, and your background. I suspect that people would want to know who they are buying and taking tips from. It goes to trust. For example, if I were looking for a site about option newsletters, then I would research who the traders are, where did they trade -- at the CBOE, how many years, who did they trade for, what pit, etc.

911waverly911 makes some good points about trust. Trust factors are especially important for SEO in the financial industry since the recent leaked manual raters guidelines reveal a focus on "Your Money Or Your Life" sites, and how they are held to a higher standard ...

"There are some pages for which PQ (Page Quality) is particularly important. We call these pages 'Your Money or Your Life' (YMYL) pages. They are pages that can have an impact on your current or future well being (physical, financial, safety, etc.). YMYL pages should come from reputable websites and the content should be created with a high level of expertise and authority."

Use social media, good quality up to date content.

Only way to increase a site traffic is to write unique content with unique concept. There is no other way which can bring traffic to a site. SEO tactics employed may help in a little way, but building traffic is solely dependent on the concept of site.

 

[iowadawg]

Really, write a unique article and you get traffic?
The only way?
Wow.....

Am sure there are tens of thousands of blog owners that will be glad to know that they will get visitors for their unique articles they post daily.
When though, is the big question.

So you're making an assumption that the original poster (who hasn't been around here for a few weeks) doesn't have unique content?

There is no other way which can bring traffic to a site.

Hmm - my clients, especially my advertising clients, would be amused to hear that...

You should do blog posting, social bookmarking, promotion on social networking sites, forum postings and press releases to improve search engine ranking!
