Concluding Thoughts
Generating traffic is what it is all about. If you can crack the code you are pretty well guaranteed to make money on the web. If you can’t then there are few sources – except (high yielding investment programs (HYIPs) and paid surveys – that will give you any hope.
Our recommended approach is:
-
Optimize your site for the search engines through its keywords - because, why not? But as a newbie don't expect much in the way of rankings unless you are part of a program like SiteBuildIt where you can expect much better results than the average player.
-
Use pay-per-click early on. If you are generating highly targetted traffic from this approach, it will tell you quickly whether what you are offering has a market. If people are not buying, revise your approach immediately. Try this even if the early keywords are expensive - to test the rest of your sales approach. Yu can play around improving things later to drive costs down. Remember, whatever you earn, even if it only a few cents, means there is a market out there. After that it is a matter of playing around until you get the formula right.
-
Once you know that people will buy, move on to writing articles and driving content to the site. This will get a viral movement going that will underpin steady traffic in the long term. Plus it will put you into a better position with the search engines. You can exand this into viral books and other tools in this category - including blogs. Content is the core of the web - very powerful, particularly if the content is fresh and new.
-
If you have a product of your own, tie up with a strong affiliate network such as Clickbank to amplify your marketing through others. Remember, unless you are well known and have a following, be generous. By-and-large the business you get this way would not otherwise come to you, so it is pure gain. Plus, this traffic can be converted into a list - extremely valuable!!
-
You can then add the other techniques such as classic advertising and so on as you have time and energy.
-
Remember: regardless of what you do - ALWAYS COLLECT THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES. If you do you have an accumulating asset, if not you are throwing opportunity to the wind.
-
Measure your results, without it you are working in the dark.
The secret to traffic building is persistence. Without it you are lost!!
