You might have a great looking site which has been properly monetized with a number of affiliate links on it. Yet, if you can't get people to visit your site, you're doomed to fail. When I first experimented with creating websites, I spent too much time on design and putting money producing links on my websites, but too little time on generating traffic. The result? No traffic and no money. If you are just starting out as an internet marketer, don't make the same mistake. 75% of your time should be devoted on generating traffic. Here are 4 of the most effective ways to get targeted prospects to your site.
1) Make a Blog. Your blog should be highly targeted. Don't try to cover too many topics. Concentrating on just a single topic will be better. Be personal. Give your own opinions about that particular topic. Blogs attract visitors that are generally looking for whatever you have to say or even offer. Additionally, publishing a blog keeps your thoughts in order. The online business is constantly changing. The more you write things down, the better prepared you will be.
2) Write Informative Articles. Submitting articles to top article directories is a very effective way to attract people to your website and simultaneously improve your positioning in the major search engines. Don't write garbage. Your viewers should learn something when they are reading your articles. You will become an authority in your field as the number of your articles increases. Viewers will come back to your website for more information and become your regular visitors. They will eventually buy from you when they trust you.
3) Put Ads on Related Websites. These websites don't have to be offering the same kind of products or services as yours, but they must be related in some ways. For example, you may put an ad about dog training on a home improvement site. Concentrate on high traffic websites. Putting ads on other people's websites costs money. You have to be sure that you get the amount of traffic worthy of the money you spent.
4) Pay Per Click(PPC) : The next and toughest technique is to place ads on major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. In recent years, this method has become extremely competitive. Before trying this, study thoroughly about Pay Per Click advertising. If you don't know what you are doing, it is not unusual to end up losing $300 in a single day.
