Traffic: Making Or Breaking Your Site
|
One thing that constantly bugs me about many of the products that get released is that they don’t tell you how to bring traffic to your site. You get a large e-book that tells you how to build an amazing site but not one chapter on traffic generation
When I was starting out I spent lots of money on site building tools and keyword tools and nothing on learning how to generate traffic. I now know how stupid that was. The tools might have been the best in the world but without traffic the end results were worthless.
The best looking site in the world means nothing without human visitors. If you can’t attract the website spiders and then organic traffic you will be left with a site of no value to you. Have a look at the forums where people buy and sell website and each thread will have 2 questions. How much does the site earn and how much traffic does it have. On a personal not i prefer traffic over income as I know I can turn traffic into income easier than generate new traffic.
Take time to develop your own traffic delivery system and you’ll have one less thing to worry about. Take time to find out what works and what doesn’t. I created a video for my members yesterday about how to get a site indexed and start generating traffic and I found something that got a new site into Google in less than 18 hours.
This was something new that I hadn’t used before, needless to say I was pretty impressed. I used it on another site 3 hours ago and guess what? It’s now showing in Google. That’s 3 hours from creating an entry to it appearing in Google. I didn’t even know that updated their database that often!
I’ve read lots of books on traffic generation and not one of them has mentioned this service. This is not surprising as the reason for this is that the Internet is changing on an almost daily basis what worked great last month doesn’t work as well this month. Take Squidoo for example, it used to be the best way to get a site indexed but not anymore.
I constantly monitor Google to see which sites are ranking well. I find an Internet marketing product and search for it in Google’s index. I’ll then take note of what sites are showing links and test them for myself. The reason I choose Internet marketing niches is that Internet marketers are usually at the forefront of any developments in ranking strategies.
By constantly monitoring whats working and what isn’t you’ll soon build up a list of good sites. When it comes to launch a site use these sites to generate traffic and to get your site ranking high for your chosen keywords.
