Massive Traffic

I’ve been looking at the numbers a lot closer lately since working on the Gold version of my free ebook Push Button Profits – $120,000 a year in 30 days on autopilot. Traffic seems to be the number one issue for most online businesspeople. The amount of work necessary to achieve the number of visitors and in turn the number of dollars needed to stay in business is going to take a lot of effort or a lot of cash.

Most people who get into Internet marketing tend to have more time than money. That means writing articles and finding outlets to post free promotional information. The problem for them is both volume and consistency. A business must reach critical mass in terms of traffic and in turn, conversion in order to make enough sales to stay in business.
I’m going to list 24 proven ways to build traffic to your website that will bring you traffic.
The issue is not what they will do for you but what will you do for the traffic. This is about 10 hours of work a week perhaps 20 if you’re serious. I’ll even list the tools needed to get it done.

There will be a lot more detail in the upcoming book Push Button Profits Gold. Ok, here are the 24 legal and proven methods of list building and traffic building for your Internet marketing business:
• Purchase expired domain names that still gets high traffic.
• Use fancy pop-ups and pop-under boxes that help to persuade people to join your list.
• Cultivate joint ventures to promote your squeeze page.
• Interview experts in your niche and promote your interview as a webinar or tele-seminar. Get them to promote the interview to their subscriber lists for added exposure.
• Set up an affiliate program and promote the heck out of it.

These are the top 25 legal and proven ways to build a big list. If you know of other ways to do it, let me know and I’ll add it to my up-coming book. Your goal should be to have a niche with keyword searches of at least 10,000 searches a month. That will be necessary to gain the type of traffic that will give you 2000 plus visitors a month. We can extract subscribers or customers from that kind of traffic easily. I’ll give you some links to help you in the goal when you subscribe to my free 30 day course.

One of the tricks I used to get a client of mine up to the first page of Google in three different critical keywords last month was blogging. Blogging can be useful for communicating to your audience as well as to promote your products and services. Another great way to use blogs is to key them in to a specific search phrase and combine your blog with videos posted on YouTube.

My client has been on the first page in one category of the Google search engine for some time. His original site was around for some time but he was not getting the traffic from it. I created a series of videos, a series of keyword optimized blogs, and press releases. This strategy was able to get him tons of traffic quickly.

I timed the videos to hit the first page of Youtube in his designated search terms. Very soon he was consistently at the top of the page. I then posted the same videos on several other sites including his blog. This was connected to his squeeze page which lead to his opt-in box. Very soon he was seeing inquiries to his opt-in from all over the world.

I managed to get his new website on the second page of Google in wo weeks in one of his most competitive keywords and on the first page in his other requested keyword  phrases. I was able to get his subscription rate up to 7-10 a day before his website officially opened.

This is just to show you that you can still use blogs as an SEO tool for driving traffic to your website.

Although I’m working hard on several projects today, I’m in a vacation state of mind. I have no vacations coming up but it doesn’t matter.

I’ve been taking Kevin Riley’s course in SEO dominance.  So far I love it and have started using some of his ideas in action on my client’s sites. It is important to note that using free information in this virtual world doen’t always mean free of cost.

Be sure to factor your time in all your projects to ensure your success. I’m working on several blogs and websites for myself and others day in and day out. My membership site will be open soon and that will make me even busier.

I’m looking at a few automation software for writing articles and blogging; haven’t found anything that I liked.

This video covers an easy way to build 50 to 100 keyword optimized articles for generating targeted leads.

The biggest challenge people have when starting a new online business is getting targeted traffic to their website. There are so many options to choose from and many of them cost a lot of money. What can a new website owner do to jump start the process? Your first strategy is to feed the search engines to bolster your rankings. You must be able to show up on the radar of the big 3; Google, Yahoo and MSN. That means articles, press releases, blogs and Squidoo lenses.

So you got your website up and running but you somehow haven’t gotten any business. What do you think the problem is? The problem is targeted traffic, of course.

1. Check the keywords that you chose and be sure to get them on your website. It is important that you have all the relevant keywords and phrases that relate to your topic on your web pages. Your articles should reflect the same keywords as well. When people type in your keywords, they will have a better chance of getting your website

2. You must submit it to search engines. The process is not complicated, the problem is that you really can’t get the impact you want from submitting your URL to the search engines. It is an important step towards getting more visitors, but is will not gain you immediate results because it will take some time for the site to show up.

3. Start your articles and submit them to www.ezinearticles.com. You will need to submit at least 300 articles to get the best bang from your article marketing efforts. It will pay off big if you do it. Many people quit at about number 3. If you spend a month creating high quality articles of between 300 and 700 words, you will be rewarded. To get massive results, go for 1000 articles and do them in four months.

4. Create Squidoo lenses and link them to your website. Make sure that there are great contents on each Squidoo lens for the search engines to find. Place links from your site to the lenses in order for people find from your website. You will be able to get a lot of mileage if you do it properly from the beginning.

5. Get on Google and pay for advertising. Use the Pay per Click program to boost immediate traffic. This will get you traffic to move some product. If you set up a squeeze page for your Pay Per Click advertising be sure to send it to a squeeze page in order to collect prospect information. This will come in handy later when you want to lead traffic to your blog and your Squidoo lenses.

It is very tough to get your website up and running without a plan. You should take the time to construct your plan ahead of time and track your progress as you go. This business is very rewarding once you get up and running. It will take money to build momentum but right now get your traffic moving with these simple though time consuming tactics. Within three months you will be glad you did.
