Several years back there was a product oversold on the internet called “Traffic Tactics”.  The price generally ranged from $97 for private label rights to $47 for just the Pdf download.  I still have access to this product but in good conscience I cannot sell it at these prices. If you want a copy I will tell you how to get it for $10 at the end of this article.  I think that is fair, you can still use it as a brainstorming resource for your own product or subject material for a series of articles.  I recommend you change the material substantially to avoid duplicating anything already circulating on the web.

A tactic is a maneuver that you use to achieve a goal.  The goal for a traffic tactic is to gain traffic to your website or blog.  It is not enough to just have an idea but you must tactically maneuver to accomplish your aim.  I am currently working on a Traffic Tactics Guide, hence the name of this website, which will reveal step by step instructions on how to do many of the ideas revealed in the old product.  If you want to know when it is released you should get on the mailing list.

Here is how you can purchase the old Traffic Tactics product in pdf form for $10.  Just subscribe to my email list and I will send you the details along with the first volume free with no obligation.

To get sales of your product or subscribers to your service or newsletter, then you need to get traffic, as without traffic you will not get either.

Yet generating website traffic is one of the hardest things to do, sure you may get lucky and invent the next Facebook or Twitter, but for the vast amount of websites then getting traffic is not easy. Indeed a lot of people who build their own websites struggle just to get their sites indexed in Google.

If generating traffic was easy we would all be Internet millionaires!

So if you have a website, or want to start one then how do you go about getting traffic?

Well there are two ways in which to do this, buy it or carry out Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in order to gain free traffic.

Buying traffic can bring goods results if your site converts its sales well, but can cost you dearly if it does not. There are various forms of what we can class as “Paid” traffic, from buying banner ad space on other sites through to using Pay Per Click (PPC) ads. Depending on how much you are prepared to spend then using paid traffic can bring in lots of traffic fast, but it is only the PPC traffic that is likely to be targeted and result in sales. Avoid buying in offers of 10,000 visitors for $20 etc. as you have no idea of where these visitors are being generated from, and you may find that major search engines actually mark your site down as a result of this traffic.

SEO is the best way to generate large volumes of free, targeted traffic that will keep coming to your website month after month, long after your PPC campaigns have ended.

SEO takes a lot of skill due to the large number of factors involved in relation to your websites on page and off page optimisation, and in addition the search engines are always changing their ranking algorithms, which means the factors involved in SEO are also ever-changing.

If you have built your own website then there is quite a bit you can carry out yourself, however if you are considering getting a website built by a web development company then it is worth looking at what SEO services they offer in order to help you generate long-term free traffic. A good web design company may not offer the Search Engine Optimisation services that a web development company does.

The first may help you just design your site, whilst the latter designs it and then helps generate traffic to it, and traffic is key to making sales.

Generating off page traffic can involve a very wide variety of activities from blog posting, posting on related forums, article promotion, press releases, ezine articles, and newsletters to name but a few.

Bad traffic generation methods to be avoided are banner exchanges – you have no idea where your banner is being displayed, link farms, bulk traffic purchases, and buying in poor quality back links, all of which can negatively affect your site’s popularity.

So consider these factors carefully when choosing how to generate traffic to your site, and ideally consult a web development expert in traffic generation and SEO.

Targeted traffic in online business is when you attract a potential customer who is interested in what you are offering.  Here are some prime sources of targeted traffic and yes, they are free.

Forum Participation and Posting

Do not go to a forum and try to game the system because you will be banned.  The whole idea is to find a topic or niche that you are interested in and participate in the discussions.  Some forums require a waiting period or a certain number of posts before they allow a dofollow signature link.  Your signature or resource box is 2-4 lines that describe you or your website. Some forums allow affiliate links but check to make sure before doing this.

Article Marketing

A couple years back this was highly effective but some recent changes by Google called the Panda Update made this tactic more difficult.  Article Marketing is still a great way to generate backlinks to your site but you must write high value quality content.  Remember that article writing is a long term strategy.  If you submit good writing you will stand out from the crowd and gain success in this area.

Here is a warning.  Only write about topics that you are interested in and have some knowledge.  If you write about a subject that you lack familiarity about,  it will show to the reader,  and they will be less likely to follow you for more expertise.  Don’t forget to use a good resource box that describes you and what you do.  Put some thought to which link or links you use because your articles will be online for a long time.

Blog Commenting

Blogs tend to be less interactive than forums but most allow for commenting,  and many still maintain dofollow links in a signature line.  For this tactic to be effective there are certain things to consider.  Do you like the subject matter of the blog?  Would you consider the blog to be a part of your niche,  or at least close to it?  Do you really have something to say or are you trying to just use the blog and its owner to get some links?

“Nice job”, “keep up the good work”, “way to go”, these kind of trite comments sound like spam.  Take some time to craft a thoughtful comment that will help the blog owner and their readers.  This is a great opportunity to maybe ask a question and tap into the expertise of the blog owner and regular writers.  Just remember to keep your comments sincere and you should do well with this tactic.

So there you have it; 3 Proven Free Sources for High Interest Targeted Traffic.  There are numerous other tactics to get free traffic but their value and proven track record of attracting visitors who convert into customers is debatable.  You would do well to focus on these 3 things and then you can try other things after you make some money.

Targeted traffic: the demographic

Assuming your business is motorcycles, my first guess at your target demographic would be 16-25 year old males and 50+ year old wealthy retired couples. Breaking it down further, if you sell Suzuki crotch rockets, you can safely discard the wealthy retired group. Narrow the demographic as best you can to target potential customers. Paying for traffic that isn’t dense with people interested in what you’re selling is a waste of your advertising dollar.

Once the demographic is well defined, you can begin identifying and sorting out perspective advertisers. Determining whether a particular advertiser or marketing group is going to work for you can be rather difficult, unless you’ve personally used them before. This is where experience and networking with other webmasters comes in very handy. Talk to other webmasters who’ve advertised with the company, find out what they were advertising, and ask them how the campaign went and if they plan to advertise on that website again. I don’t generally use an advertiser unless I’ve heard very good things from other webmasters or they have a trial ad setup, where you can commit a small amount of money to testing out the traffic before you make a real investment and buy several weeks or months of advertising with them.

An important consideration when buying ad space on a specific website is the focus of that website. If you’re considering advertising on a service oriented website, make sure your product or service compliments that website’s service. For instance, if you sell shoes, advertising on hotmail.com is going to be very inefficient and expensive. You’ll be paying to advertise to a bunch of people, the mass majority of which aren’t looking to buy shoes. However, if you’re selling a spyware removal tool, email services could be a great place to advertise. Most internet users have spyware on their computers, and most are aware of and concerned about spyware.

Advertising on content based sites

When I need to advertise, my favorite place to go is still a content oriented site with a close relationship to my product or service. If I’m selling Gregory backpacks, I’ll look for advertising opportunities on websites related to backpacking and hiking, such as outdoors guides and wilderness survival websites.

Web traffic at some content based sites is not particularly targeted, while others have a specific topic, like a gardening tips website. Finding a website with a very specific interest may or may not be as important, depending on what product you’re selling, or what service you offer. T-shirts may sell well on lots of different content based sites, while the gardening weasel isn’t likely to do well on places not related to gardening.

An update schedule of content based websites you’re considering advertising on is rather important, depending on how you advertise. A website that updates every other day or weekly will have many visitors who come for the updates and leave. A website that updates sporadically will have more people who come just looking for something new. When there is nothing new they’re more likely to look for other related links, which is where good advertising kicks into high gear. Of the three major advertising types, I tend to believe in doing my homework and paying flat rates for given periods of time. This seems to work best, because it depends more on you to build an intriguing advertisement, and rewards you for doing so.

Buying ad space on a per click basis can be a better bet if you’re trying to build a brand name, because your ad might get 50,000 impressions before the 1,000 click-through you paid for happen.

Conversion rates are key

For most of us on the web though, our main goal is to sell the product or service. This is why I contest doing your research, finding the best websites, and purchasing ad space on a weekly or monthly basis is the best method of promotion in the long run. If you’re smart, you’ll monitor your traffic from different sources and determine the cost per sale to see which sources are providing the best conversion rates. In the case of buying click through traffic, the monitoring program should give you the traffic conversion rate.

Internet marketing was dramatically changed with the introduction of social media sites including Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Since Twitter was first launched, people have wondered how they should use it as part of their Internet marketing plan.

1) The Basics of Twitter

Twitter allows you to post to your followers messages of up 140 characters in length. You may be wondering how much you can say in only 140 characters. Join the club. Everyone wonders that until they get the hang of it and you will. Follow a few simple rules and you will do just fine on Twitter.

2) What to Tweet

It is important that your tweets be more than a constant barrage of promotional messages. You will quickly lose your followers. The general rule to follow is the 80-20 rule. 80% of your tweets should be either useful or entertaining to your followers. The other 20% of your tweets can be direct promotions of your products and services.

An effective Internet marketing plan using Twitter should include humor. Humor can help you maintain long-term online relationships with your followers. People appreciate humor even if you are just providing links to humor sites, video clips, etc.

3) Promotional Tweets

What you say in the 140 characters of your promotional tweets is important. If you do it properly you should be able to bring targeted traffic to your website. Your promotional tweets must entice your followers to click on your accompanying link to read more about the promotion. Do not try to close a sale in 140 characters. Get them to your website. That is your sole goal.

Grab your followers’ attention quickly with a catchy line. Use questions (Do you want to save a bundle on a gift for Mom?), or exclamations (A sale so HUGE you won’t believe it!). The key is grabbing their attention and making them want more information.

4) How Often do I Tweet?

At the very least, you should tweet four or five times per day. You want to stay active on Twitter in order to get more followers and to keep your current followers engaged.

If you tweet five times per day that would mean you post four general information or humor tweets and one promotional tweet. If you follow these rules you can generate traffic from Twitter as part of your Internet marketing plan.

5) Internet Marketing on Facebook

Internet marketing has changed dramatically as a result of social media websites like Facebook. This social media site is a force to be reckoned with as millions of people from around the world are on it at any given moment.

The very nature of Facebook makes it an Internet marketing jewel, especially for pay-per-click ads. With scores of information about every user the site can be used to pinpoint your audience for advertisements.

6) Internet Marketing with Specificity

Pay-per-click ads can be placed on many websites and search engines including Google, Yahoo and Bing. These search engines reach billions of people which make them powerful. The one thing that is lacking is the ability to place your ads only in front of your specific target market.

On Facebook you can be highly specific with targeting your ads. You can dictate who sees your ads based on criteria including:

� Age

� Gender

� Marital status

� Interests and hobbies

� Education level

� Geographic location

Your ability to place your ads only in front of a defined target market makes Facebook a great Internet marketing tool.

7) Know Your Market & Learn Your Market

The first step in placing effective Facebook ads would be to know your market. You should have a deep understanding of who your market is and who it is not. The more you know about your target market the more effective your Internet marketing will be.

You can use Facebook to learn about your target market. By identifying customers on Facebook you can start to see what interests them by the groups they join and participate in as well as the types of things they post.

Create your own Facebook group and invite people to participate in it. This is an invaluable way to learn about your target market.

Grow your Facebook fan base by offering them incentives to join your group. You can offer discount codes and “inside information”. If you give something of value people will become a friend and fan of yours on Facebook.

Using Facebook is a great way to reach your target market and learn about your target market. Take the time to create a good profile and fan page. Update your pages often and stay in communication with your fan base and you will reap the rewards of Facebook.

How to generate web traffic will be an all important question, if you wish to drive traffic to your website. Let’s face it, if you want visitors to your website, you are going to have to put in the hard work and make sure that you advertise, advertise, advertise.

There are numerous ways of how to generate web traffic, whether this be free or paid for. Obviously, the free ways are more attractive.

Genuine High Quality Content

There is little point spending your valuable time setting up a website, if you fail to ensure that this is well written and the content well researched. It is essential that the content of your site intrigues visitors to read on and on and more importantly, make them want to re-visit your site over and over again.

The cheapest way of advertising is by word of mouth. If your website is genuine and interesting, visitors will tell others.

It is imperative to keep the content updated. Make sure there are no broken links. This is a sure way of losing your credibility.

Invite testimonials or feedback from visitors. In this day and age of web marketing and selling, the feedback and comments displayed can make the difference of someone committing to your products. We all know poor feedback can have a detrimental effect and is certainly not how to generate web traffic.

Newsletters and Archived Information

It is essential that you build up a database of the visitors to your website. The very reason why they visited in the first instance is because of the content or topic of your website.

This is a ‘free’ way of marketing your website. Your database of visitors is invaluable. A monthly newsletter will inform previous visitors of new products or new information. Although, this may not result in a visit every time, you need to keep your website at the forefront of their mind.

Have a link to archived newsletters and information on your website. Once you attract a visitor, it is essential to hold their interest and ensure that they navigate around your site.

Affiliate Marketing

This is another popular way of how to generate web traffic. Basically, this involves others spreading the word about your product and website. This will significantly increase your marketability.

The most profitable affiliate marketing is pay per sale. This method means that you only pay if their referral earns you money.

There are several different programs available for starting an affiliate relationship.

There are many other ways of how to generate web traffic such as utilising Social Net working sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

A common belief is that things must be complicated in order for them to be effective and this is just not true. Simple does not mean ineffective it just means uncomplicated. Many of the same proven methods used in building successful businesses in the offline world work quite well on the internet. Nowhere is this seen more clearly than in attracting traffic to your website.

This article can benefit the new internet marketer as well as more seasoned veterans. For you more seasoned, sometimes it is good to revisit the standards and practices that made you successful in the first place. During sales training you frequently hear the KISS method referenced and it just means keep it simple. I will let you fill in the last S.

Some of the more advanced traffic building methods are not necessarily bad but they are just not needed in the beginning. Pay per click, ad swaps, joint ventures, and other confusing terms for the new internet marketer are not required initially and should not be introduced into your marketing plan too quickly. All traffic is not the same and methods for long-term traffic building are the ones to focus on initially.

Here are some proven methods that you can use to build your business and when put in place you will begin to see a steady flow of traffic:

Start a blog or website. The first step to establishing a place for traffic to come begins here. This will be your home on the internet so which one you start will be important. Some marketers say there is no difference but I tend to disagree. Technically a blog is a website but a blog will be more conversational in format and a place where you can share information about your family, the area you live, and other things of a general nature. With a business website your focus is more on your product or service and it is less informal. Can there be a blending of the two? The short answer is yes. Many internet marketers have both and this seems to work well for them. This is my personal preference. You want traffic and you want return visitors if your goal is to build a successful online business.

Produce high value content. Imagine being enticed to visit a website only to be disappointed by low quality and useless information. Lots of traffic falls into this category. This is happening all over the internet and it can be a great area of possible business opportunity for you. Choose today to make the production of content that will satisfy your targeted audience your number one building method for your online business. In order to consistently author valuable articles you need to find a topic or area that you can passionately write about for the reader. This is called finding your niche. You can have more than one but make sure you find at least one niche to focus upon. If you do this you will gain traffic. The search engines love sites with good content.

Engage your targeted audience. If you build it they will come may work in the movies but it is a poor strategy for online business success. You must go after potential traffic and this can be done in several ways. Writing articles like this is a great way to become known. This is called article marketing and you can’t beat it for generating long-term traffic. Another way to find an audience is to visit other blogs in your niche and leave sincere comments. Remember I said sincere. One other way to find possible visitors is to visit forums in your area of interest and engage in the conversation. You will be rewarded by traffic to your website if you do this with the right motive.
