Traffic Generation
In the 2+ years that I have been working fulltime online the single most important lesson that I have learnt is that without getting traffic to your website/blog you will never get your business off the ground.
I have read countless E-books on this subject and even attended off line seminars to try and get the magic bullet that will get that all important traffic to my websites. I have come to the conclusion that there are numerous ways to generate traffic both paid and free methods.
Whilst paying traffic give you eyes on your site, as soon as you stop paying you get no more traffic.
I have always used the free method because apart from the obvious I have found this type of traffic to generate more conversations thus improving my bottom line. Plus the methods I use keep the same and new traffic coming back.
I personally use 2 types of free traffic generation tools.
Firstly I write articles like this one, them post them in between 20 - 40Article directory’s that I know have a good page ranking and get spidered by the search engines on a regular basis. By using articles I get a steady continuous flow of traffic to my website each and every day. I have only written the article once then posted it. Over time it gets copied and posted in other directory’s / websites thus driving yet more traffic to my website.
Secondly I use free Manual Traffic Exchanges where I place a squeeze page to obtain potential customer details then they are added to my list and sent emails from time to time advertising my products.
