The Best Ways To Get Targeted Traffic To Your Website

Marketing online comes down to two key components:

a) Getting traffic.

b) Converting the traffic (meaning, selling your surfers on whatever you’re offering).

I generally refer to these as on and off-site marketing. Off-site is collecting targeted prospects and eyeballs. On-site marketing consists of tweaking your sales message to get your prospects to buy, subscribe or whatever (ie, do what you want).

Where can you find traffic?

Adwords and other PPC schemes

Email / Subscriber lists

Search Engine Optimization

The Overnight 3 Step Traffic System

Traffic trades with other sites (reciprocal links, etc)

JV deals

Affiliate program (having affiliates) Ads on other sites

Plugs (on blogs, sites, etc)

Viral programs (word of mouth, etc)

Offline marketing

How can you monetize your site?

Sell clicks (adsense, YPN, etc)

Sell ad space (links, ad spots, etc)

Promote affiliate programs

Sell your own products

CPAs (Cost-per-action: sending your surfers to a landing page/ website and get paid when an action has occurred. An action can be a product being purchased, a form being filled, etc).

Clearly, a dozen ebooks and reports could be written on each of these areas. But, because we are in the traffic collection and content delivery business (as this is what our software does), we are going to concentrate on the traffic end of things and leave the task of turning your surfers into dollars up to you (though we have touch on a few key ingredients).

Big Mistake to Avoid.

I have seen this one made many, many times. Like I said above, getting traffic often befuddles would-be online marketers. So we have noticed that people will spend all kinds of time on their site – tweaking this, prodding that and getting everything absolutely perfect. They will do this BEFORE working on getting traffic. At least when considering seo traffic, this is BACKWARDS. Why? Building significant search engine traffic takes time.

So, start your SEO NOW and work on your on-site marketing as you go. In addition, SEs don’t like perfect sites; they like sites that look like they were built by a human. In even more addition, myspace.com is crap in terms of design and optimization, and it’s still in the top 3 trafficed sites in the world. So if your site isn’t perfect, don’t worry about it. Work on your traffic and the rest will come.

Traffic, what you should know. Each of the categories of traffic sources above are solid. If you’re just getting started, my advice is to at first, stick with one or two and master them. And when I say master them, I mean become an expert. Know everything there is to know about your chosen sources, BEFORE moving on to others. A deep knowledge of these is what leads to results. Knowing one or two fully, is many times more powerful than knowing a little bit about all of them.

When you’ve mastered the first couple, then move onto the next two and set out to know everything in these new categories. This approach will give you the deep knowledge you need not to just excel using these concepts, but to be able to predict what’s coming.
