| Category: Traffic and Tracking | Date: 2003-08-15 |
what is the one commodity that every Internet Business needs? Traffic of course! Without a fresh flow of leads to your website, you will not be able to inform your prospects about your products and services. You will not make any sales, get any subscribers for your Ezine or find affiliates for your Affiliate Program. You need to market your website effectively!
You have many marketing methods at your disposal to promote your website. You have probably come across thousands of methods that claim to bring tons of visitors to your website. Be careful when selecting your marketing methods, as many will cost you a lot of money without bringing the promised results. The following 9 methods have proven to bring you a fresh targeted lead flow, over and over again. From the historically most successful methods to the two most revolutionary methods of 2003, this is your guide to a fresh flow of red hot leads. After all, "All you need is leads"!
1. Pre-Qualified Leads
What is the Secret to Successful Internet Business? Answer: There is no secret, all you need is Leads! Leads are essential. They are the life blood for ALL online businesses. And you dont want just any visitors, you want targeted visitors. You want peole that are already interested in what you have to offer. Without a fresh flow of targeted leads your sales will dry up or stop altogether. Your source of leads is very important as well, as you dont want just any leads. You are looking for visitors that are in the right frame of mind and responsive to your offer. You want leads that are red hot, and ready to buy your products, subscribe to your ezine or join your affiliate programs.
2. Pay-per-Click Search Engines
Pay-per-Click Search Engines are the best method to get instant targeted traffic to your website. They charge a pre-determined clickthrough charge for every visitor they send to your website.
The amount of your bid for a specific keyword determines the ranking your listing will get. The more you pay, the higher your ranking. Pay-per-Click Search Engines like Overture usually place a sponsor link for the highest bids on some of the Webs biggest and most popular sites (like Yahoo, Msn, Lycos, Altavista). These premium listings are the ones you should bid for, as they are seen by millions of internet users and get much more clicks.
My favorite strategy with the Pay-per-click engines is to get your website listed under as many keywords as possible (at least 50-100). Dont bid for the most popular keywords, as they are really expensive. Instead use those keywords that still receive a considerable amount of clicks, but will not cost you more then about $ 0.15 per click.
Especially when you are new to the internet, or just started a new website or business, Pay-per-Click Search Engines can play a major role in bringing targeted visitors to your website. Over time you should start using more cost-effective marketing methods, like Free Classified Ads.
3. Free Classified Advertising
Classified ads are a great marketing tool as they bring targeted visitors. Although classified advertising can be expensive, it is an effective method to find hot leads and to promote your website and products.
Dont waste your money paying for classifieds, as there are many sites offering free classified advertising. The most effective are the self-replicating websites. They will give you your own classified website with your personalized ad. Your free classified ad is then replicated on all websites in your downline With a little promotion of your free website, your ad can be seen on thousands of websites in a few weeks time. For a small fee you can usally upgrade to a PRO membership, allowing you to earn commissions from all the people in your downline.
4. Major Search Engines
The major search engines are not as important for your traffic as they are often made out to be. However listing your site with them is still important. It should be one of many marketing methods you are using to attract leads.
Of the major search engines, you want to look at the seven that bring you 95% of your traffic. Of those seven, four will bring you 80 - 90 %: Those four are Google, Yahoo, AltaVista and Excite . Dont use automatic submission programs to list your website, as many will not list your pages properly, or only after waiting several months. Submitting by hand is faster and now you know that it is done correctly. Dont worry about resubmitting your site monthly, as this is unnecessary and might even harm your rankings. Spend your time getting reciprocal links instead.
5. Reciprocal Links
The major search engines are not as important for your traffic as they used to be. A listing in a search engine is simply a link to your site, like any other link pointing to your website. With over 800 million pages on the internet, you have to constantly fight to stay near the top of the search engines. Spend this time finding reciprocral links instead!
Reciprocal Linking is an agreement between two webmasters to place a link (usually a text link or banner) to each others websites on their own websites. Reciprocal Links are the number one source of traffic on the Internet today. If you have a lot of links to your site out on the net, ALL of the search engine robots will find you quickly and re-visit you every few days or weeks. Reciprocal links will increase your search engine listings and bring in qualified visitors. After all these visitors came from a site with themes similar to yours and they have a good idea of what type of site you are. Great tools to find reciprocal link partners are the Zeus Internet Marketing Robot by Cyber-robotics and the Internet Success Spider by Neil Shearing.
6. E-mail Marketing
One of the most important steps in your marketing plan, should be to capture your prospects e-mail addresses. Email marketing is crucial for every online professional. Nothing is more cost effective and nothing works better. Once you have established a large and responsive mailing list, you can use it to inform your prospects about your products and services. You have a chance to build a relationship or "rapport" with your prospects, increasing their responsiveness. One of the best ways to generate a large mailing list is to create your own Ezine.
7. Create your own Ezine
By Creating your own Ezine, you have a chance to capture the e-mail adresses of your prospects. You can promote your products in your Ezine and publish articles about your field of interest. That is why the "Top Dogs" all use their Ezines to explode their subscriber lists.
Publishing a successful ezine could take months or even years. You need to find the right combination of tools & methods that go in your Ezine. Many Marketers spend a lot of money when starting up their Ezine, and give up after a only a few months. You dont have to!

There is simply no better way to get high quality visitors to your website. Use Web Hit Machine to open up a viral traffic stream of hungry visitors, again and again. (Released December 2002).
9. Get Expert Help
My last piece of advice: Get Expert Help. Dont be afraid to ask the Internets Marketing Experts for help. Why re-invent the wheel? Ask the experts for their honest opinion about your website, your products or your marketing methods. Ask them how they get their traffic!
They are often happy to provide invaluable feedback for free. Dont pay thousands of dollars to attend seminars from self-proclaimed Internet gurus. Spend your money on informative (e)books instead, join forums about your field of expertise, or simply write them a letter or e-mail. You will be surprised by the results.
My marketing coaches are Mark Joyner & Jay Conrad Levinson. They are recognized as two of the worlds leading marketing experts and personally share all their knowledge and their biggest secrets on internet marketing and traffic generation. Their forums are among the most powerful on the Internet and their promotional tools are unsurpassed.
