subject: Inexperienced In Internet Marketing [print this page] If you are inexperienced in internet marketing, like all of us have been at one time, then you are in all probability curious how to drive traffic to your website.
Getting traffic is without a doubt the most difficult thing you have to perform, and the one thing that will be responsible for most of your time. Once you have decided what it is that you are going to sell and have set up your website or blog, all the rest of the work is just spent trying to generate quality leads.
There is a significant disparity between traffic and qualified traffic. In other words, if you are selling a book on golf, folks who are searching for cooking tips would not be purchasing any of your product.
You have to hit the appropriate people, so here are a few ways to start digging up qualified leads.
1. You will be able to generate quality leads by finding out where your potential customers hang out. If you are marketing an online marketing product, then join online groups for folks who are beginning their own home business.
Pursue your customers, infiltrate the groups, and start letting them see what you are promoting.
2. Write articles about your product, your blog, your website, and even yourself. The additional mentions you can get, the more likely you would be listed in the search engines, the more traffic you will catch.
3. You could also generate quality leads by buying them. Once you have figured out what your most effective keywords are, try a test of them on Google. If they work, go on with the program, if not, then try changing your keywords to better exhibit what your potential customers are looking for.
Just placing a website is not sufficient anymore. You must acquire folks who are fascinated in your product to locate you. Get your name out there and they will come to you.
