Traffic is King, but this comes FIRST
The best way to ensure your success is to build automated traffic sources to send you visitors day and night.
Before we begin
The first thing you need to do before you start going after any traffic is keyword research. This is because you will building your traffic funnels around specific keywords. So you need to make sure the keywords you’re targeting are worth targeting.
A couple things to keep in mind when doing keyword research:
- Will you be able to rank for these keywords? You’ll have to analyze the competition and see what’s out there for this.
- Are these “buying” keywords? Certain keywords are good for generating a lot of visitors who don’t buy anything. This is not what you’re looking for.
- Will these keywords bring affiliates? If you want to build a huge business, you’re going to need affiliates to help you. So make sure you are also targeting keywords to attract affiliates.
Although this is an essential step, doing it all by hand can take a very long time. Experts are expensive and don’t guarantee results. And that’s why most people skip this step! What I recommend is using website traffic software to save the time of doing it yourself and the money of hiring someone else. Using tools like this speed up the process and improve your results, too!
OK, now we can talk about traffic…
Now that you’ve completed your keyword research, you can begin using these keywords to get traffic to your website.
Here’s a short list of sneaky traffic techniques:
- Surveys
- “Answer” Sites
- Video
Surveys
Here’s the thing – people love surveys. It’s human nature. And smart website owners know this, so they will include your survey on their site if you make a good one. And when they put your survey on their site, they will include a link back to your website. This allows you to get free website traffic from other people’s sites! This is a sneaky little idea that most people never even think of. So, get creative and make up a survey that’s wacky to get other people interested in putting it on their sites.
“Answer” Sites
Sites like Yahoo! Answers allow users to ask and answer each others’ questions. But, like the surveys, that’s not why you’re going to pay attention to these sites. You are going to generate traffic, leads and sales from them. One thing you can do is to visit sites like Craigslist and Yahoo! Answers and manually extract contact info to contact other users. So, if you’re smart, you’ll use website traffic software to do it all for you. These tools put the whole thing on auto-pilot and just deliver the leads to you each day.
Video Websites
Video is huge and sites like YouTube and Vimeo are extremely popular. YouTube is one of the most highly traffic and search websites on the entire internet! If you’re not taking advantage of this rich source of website traffic, then you are really missing out.
And don’t worry if you don’t have any idea of how to make a video. You can even take a webpage or article that you’ve written. And use free screen capture software to record yourself reading it. You can even get software that will automatically do this for you.
In Closing
Getting traffic is not that difficult. Use your noodle and come up with things other people aren’t doing. And today there are tons of options for software tools that can help with every part of this process.
So, start right now and:
- Do your keyword research
- Set up some viral surveys
- Take advantage of the “help” sites
- And don’t forget about video
