I am sure by now you've found out that there are a lot of different things you can do to generate
traffic on the internet.
Some take a long time. Some are instant. Some are free. Some take a lot of time.
However, one of the best things you can do for your business to generate traffic is to start a blog.
A blog is a great way to get traffic because you can use a variety of different methods to promote it.
You can use SEO for each blog post that will help you build traffic over time.

engine plug-ins that will help you with doing seo.
This takes a lot of the technicality out of getting good rankings for your websites.
Another great thing about a blog is that you can focus solely on creating great content without
having to worry about getting top search engine rankings.
If you create useful content, people will start linking to your blog.
You'll start receiving visitors from another trusted website.
When people link to your blog it's like they're giving you a vote of confidence.
They're telling their readers that you have a good website that will provide them with awesome
content.
Automatically you already have trust in their eyes. Whereas getting traffic from a search engine
you'll have to build the trust.
Blogs are interactive so people love them.
You'll be able to read some of the comments on your blog and be able to respond accordingly which
is another great way to build trust.
One of the other positives about blogs is a thing called an "RSS Feed".
This will make it so your content can get syndicated by other websites and this is why it's important
that you have interesting headlines for your readers.
The feed will pick up the headlines and the person will decide to read depending on how interested
they are in what you're offering.
So if you're looking at starting a blog, you can now see the benefits of doing so.
You'll get traffic. You'll build trust. You'll build relationships.
In the end you'll make a lot more money.

How to Generate Traffic Using A Facebook "Like" Button On
Your Site
In the age of Web 2.0, driving traffic to your website is not all about search engine optimization
(SEO).
Part and parcel of an effective Internet marketing strategy is to ensure that your website is also
present in the realm of social networks and media sharing.
Visitors do not only arrive at websites only through search results, but also through links that their
peers share through these social networks.
What social networking platform could be more important than Facebook, the world's largest?
With over 800 million active users, your website stands to reach a wide variety of audience through
Facebook, and sometimes all it takes is one "Like" button in your webpages.
How to generate traffic using a Facebook "Like" button on your site?
A Facebook "Like" button is a stamp of approval that visitors may click when they literally like the
content of your blog.
Experience with video-sharing site YouTube indicates that visitors prefer a like-dislike system
instead of a rating system when expressing approval or disapproval for content.
Facebook modifies this model and only has "Like" buttons that third-party content may use in their
customized pages.
What makes the "Like" button extra special for Internet marketers is its content sharing component.
Visitors who click the "Like" button automatically share the links to their Facebook profiles, which
can, in turn, be viewed by people in their respective networks.
If your content is good enough, the Facebook "Like" button serves as a form of endorsement by the
people potential visitors trust the most--their personal contacts.
Viral blog posts are created this way.
When putting Facebook "Like" buttons in your website or your blog posts, remember to put it in two
positions: the top and the foot of a webpage or a blog post.
With the now-familiar appearance of the "Like" button, approval and sharing should only be a click
away.
SEO should still be of high importance, but you will never go wrong with a few Facebook links here
and there.

How To Generate Traffic Using Ad Swaps
We all know how important it is to build an e-mail subscriber list as part of your online strategy, but
it can be difficult to get enough traffic to your squeeze page.
You can use a lot of different traffic generation methods in order to send traffic to your squeeze page
and build your subscriber list including pay per click advertising, search engine optimization, and
article marketing.
There is one powerful method, however, that many marketers overlook, and that method is known
as ad swaps.
This concept is pretty simple because all you have to do is contact another marketer in your niche
who also has an e-mail list and you agree to perform a simple swap so that both of you can receive
additional subscribers.
You would send an e-mail to your list promoting the other marketer?s opt in list, and he or she
would do the same for you.
This is generally a simple and effective way to add subscribers to your list, but you need to keep
some precautions in mind.
If at all possible, you should verify that the other marketer has the number of subscribers claimed.
Otherwise, you could be wasting your time even though no real damage will have been done.
For best results, you should contact marketers who have roughly the same number of subscribers as
you do in order to make the whole process worthwhile for both of you.
If you have 500 subscribers, for example, and the other marketer has 1000 subscribers, you might
still be able to work out an arrangement if you are willing to send two e-mails to your list in order to
make up for the difference.
If you don't currently have any subscribers but still want to participate in the swaps, you need to
build a list of at least a few hundred subscribers as quickly as possible in order to be taken seriously.
The fastest way to achieve this would be to use some paid advertising such as pay per click
campaigns so you can begin participating in ad swaps as soon as possible.

How To Generate Traffic Using An Affiliate Program
An excellent and often overlooked way of getting traffic is establishing your own affiliate program.
If you've been involved with Internet marketing for any length of time, you probably are already
familiar with the concept of affiliate marketing and have probably already made some commissions
for yourself.
In this case, however, we?re talking about joining the other side of the equation -- in other words,
you're going to have affiliates promoting your products!
Many people are interested in making extra money (and possibly a full-time income) through
affiliate marketing because they don't want to deal with selling their own inventory, processing
credit card payments through a merchant account, or shipping products from their home or office.
With so many people looking to get started with Internet marketing by becoming affiliates, this is an
excellent opportunity for you to generate more traffic and revenue for your online business!
You see, those affiliates can take care of much of the groundwork and generate traffic for you by
sending people to your website through their affiliate link in exchange for commissions.
Of course, you probably already have other traffic sources, but an affiliate program can simply make
you even more successful by expanding and diversifying your traffic generation methods.
An easy way to start an affiliate program is to simply join one of the popular networks that handle
all of the annoying tasks like tracking and commission payments for you.
Clickbank is very popular and user-friendly when it comes to digital information products, but some
Internet marketers prefer to use other affiliate networks in order to avoid commissions theft.
A few of the other affiliate networks include LinkShare, ejunkie, and Paydotcom.
You can, of course, establish your own private affiliate program if you're confident in your abilities
and for some reason want to avoid the popular affiliate networks.

How To Generate Traffic Using An Email Newsletter
begins with a list of email subscribers.
This list can be made up of customers or prospective customers.
Both of these lists should be kept separate, but combined for the purpose of a newsletter.
An email newsletter can generate the highest quality traffic that any website can experience.
This is true because those people who have subscribed to your email have opted in by making a
purchase from your site, or through some other means, have opted in because they are interested in
your websites? products and content.
Whether through an advertisement, or simply signing up for a newsletter after visiting your site,
these people are the best candidates to buy from your website.
The first group of people are your customer base and are the lifeblood of any business.
Repeat customers are an important percentage of sales and they should be given special treatment.
The second group of people are also important as they are prospective customers and may be
making a purchase in the future.
These are the customers who will replace older customers that drop off over time.
They are also the future of your businesses expansion.
Once these people have opted into a newsletter, it is an opportunity to entice them into making their
first purchase with specials such as sales and coupon codes or perhaps a free giveaway.
The people who read your email newsletter and go to your website represent the traffic that will
have the highest percentage of conversion into sales.
Your list will be the most important part of your business and over time you will come to understand
that the list is everything for online sales.
Getting quality names for your newsletter is the ultimate goal because it will result in expanding your
customer base and creating a successful online business.

How To Generate Traffic Using Article Marketing
You have probably heard people say that article marketing is dead.
It isn't!
People, who claim that, have never used article marketing the right way, you see.
They have been doing "article directory marketing", which is sending lots of traffic to the article
directories, instead of to their own site or blog.
So forget about the Google Panda scare.
Here's how you can generate traffic using article marketing:
1: Write longer articles - aim at 600 - 1200 words.
2: Give it your best - fill the article with valuable content.
If you struggle with writing 400 words in an article at this point, you might ask:
"How in the world will I ever arrive at 600 words? Or more?"
Crazy, right?
You'll be surprised how easy it is, though, when you start out with a different aim - giving the best
quality, you can.
If your goal was to produce articles, which would make your readers click at the link in your
resource box and buy the product, you were promoting, yes, then it's hard to write small 400 word
articles.
With a different point of view, you'll be amazed to find yourself plotting out long, content rich
articles in no time.
At this moment, you might be wondering:
"Why? Why should I write longer articles and give away valuable content?"
To understand the answer, you have to go back to the basic definition of an article directory.
Article directories are here - not just to show your article and make money themselves through ads but to be a middleman between writers and ezine owners.
In other words: Your goal with your articles should be to get them syndicated.
If ONE big list owner picks up your article, you can look forward to thousands of incoming readers.
Believe me, this is much better than earning a click now and then, directly from the article directory.
The really successful article marketers all agree on this one:
The best way to generate traffic using article marketing is to write with the sole goal of getting your
article picked up and syndicated.

How To Generate Traffic Using Blogger
When building your own websites or blogs, one helpful tool that can help your site succeed is to
learn how to generate traffic using Blogger.
No matter how interesting your own website or blog may be, if no one visits it you are guaranteed to
make no income from ads or affiliate programs.
Of course, keyword research is an essential part of any successful blog, so you can rank high in
Google when someone types in the specific keywords you are trying to rank for.
Aside from SEO, however, you can get traffic to your site in many other ways, and one of the best
methods is by using Blogger.
Blogger, also referred to as blogspot, offers free blogs that can be built in minutes and carry the
benefit of ranking quite highly in Google, unlike your new blog that stands on its own.
Though quite simplistic in features, you can make a very nice looking blog and even monetize it
with Adsense and other affiliate programs, so it not only helps generate traffic, it can be another
successful revenue source.
With Blogger, the url you choose will have blogspot.com attached to the end, but you do have the
option to purchase a domain name, to make blogspot. com disappear, giving it a more professional
appearance.
Because Blogger ranks so quickly in Google, it can be used as a tool to point traffic to your main
website or blog, instead of waiting for your site to mature on its own, which can take a long time.
Though people use Blogger in many ways, the key is to build Blogger blogs in your niche, so that
the visitors have reason to click through links, which will send them to your main blog.
For example, if you have a main blog about auto parts, which you are trying to generate traffic for,
you can build a free Blogger blog very quickly that is just about car batteries or floor mats, then put
in links to your main site.
One word of warning, however, is that Blogger does not like "pop up" blogs that are all pointing to
the same url, so be sure to have links to other useful articles that you've written on other sites, like
Squidoo or Hubpages and other interesting, relevant material on the web.
Blogger has been known to shut down blogs that they feel are spammy and, because it is a free blog,
they have every right to do so, so be sure to produce quality when building a Blogger blog, or you
will be wasting your time!

As Digg is one of the biggest social bookmarking sites on the internet, with the right techniques, you
can use it to generate lots of traffic for your website.
You have to create an appealing profile with Digg as it is your profile that uses will first look at to
learn more about you.
The more attractive and interesting is your Digg profile, the more users and Diggs you attract to your
website.
Digg is used mainly for sharing favorite things with others however site administrators don't like
people who spam the network so spamming is not at all favorable to generate traffic from Digg.
After setting up an account with Digg, you have to make sure you get regular, fresh and interesting
content on your website so that visitors who visit your site because of a Digg by a previous visitor
will also Digg your site to maintain your website popularity.
You have to provide a means for visitors to Digg you, which is best done by inserting a bit of script
at the end of each of your website posts so that visitors who feel your post is interesting will just
have to click a button to post it on Digg.
Once you get a Digg in favor of your post, you will slowly find others stopping by to check your
post and perhaps bookmark it too so that you get an increasing number of visitors to your post and
your website.
Always be active on the Digg network and pay attention to the comments other users leave on the
posts or articles you post to the system to build relationships with them.
If you participate and comment on others' posts and articles on Digg, they too will reward you by
Digging your content for others to see.
Make as many friends on Digg as they are the ones who will help you push your content to the front
page and Digg worthy.

How To Generate Traffic Using Forum Marketing
If you need more traffic to your website (and who doesn't, honestly), you should definitely consider
forum marketing as an additional source of potential customers.
Discussion forums are great, and they're available in a variety of different niches from dog training
to music to Internet marketing.
The thing about forum marketing, however, is that you have to be very careful and take the right
approach so you don't anger your fellow forum members and even risk getting banned from the
forum.
The best thing you can do is to become a member and start giving as much useful information as you
can.
You can simply go through the forum and look for questions from other members you can answer,
and then you would simply provide helpful and relevant information that other readers will
appreciate.
Of course, if you have your own questions about a topic, you can certainly add these as well as this
will further contribute to the overall discussion and community.
The whole idea here is that you're not going to put any sales messages directly in your post, but
instead you're going to develop a reputation as something of an expert who is willing to help out the
people in this market.
Members of the forum will be able to visit your website by simply clicking on the link in your
signature, so this is a really low key and safe way to promote your website and get more targeted
traffic from people who are interested in what you have to offer.
Just make sure to follow all of the rules of each particular forum especially when it comes to your
signature and whether or not you can include affiliate links or other kinds of promotions in your
actual post.
If you focus on helping others consistently day in and day out over the long-term, they will gradually
take notice and visit your website.

How to Generate traffic Using Google AdWords
Any webmasters are aware targeted traffic to their website is essential for business.
It will really pay off if they learn how to generate traffic using Google AdWords.
Google Adwords is the most effective means of getting targeted website traffic.
Google is the preferred search engine by webmasters and it is beneficial .
Adwords is a pay per click advertising service provided by Google, the top search engine with
around 200 million searches daily.
When a certain keyword is typed, suitable links are placed in another section which provides them
great exposure.
These are listed as ?Sponsored Ads? in search results.
You will need to create your account by visiting googleadwords.google.com.
Enter your language and country.
You would not want yon products promoted in countries your merchandise can?t be sold.
Next, you will create your ad by choosing the price, design, and keywords as well as analyzing the
highest price per click.
The title is the most essential part of your campaign so make certain it is catchy and brief.
Give a clear description of your website and your services.
A clear message will draw in qualified leads which could generate more sales.
It can?t be stressed enough to use the correct keywords and keyword phrases.
You can use the Adwords keyword tool to choose relevant keywords.
Applying variations in keywords will help you reach more clients.
When you use assorted phrases, misspellings, and derivatives you increase the chance your ads will
be seen.
You should now determine a budget to gain maximum exposure.
Set a budget that you can afford and the greatest CPC (Cost Per Click).
Adwords will offer a suggested CPC but you are not obligated to accept it.
Your best bet is going for a number two placement since sites at number one can get unwanted
traffic.
You have learned how to generate traffic using Google AdWords.
It will help you get traffic but shouldn?t be your only method.

How To Generate Traffic Using Guest Posts
One of the most powerful traffic generation methods which is often overlooked is becoming a guest
writer by submitting your content to other websites.
Now, many marketers submit content to article directories, which might have some benefit but is
not quite as powerful as guest blogging.
The idea behind becoming a guest writer is simple -- you contact the owners of blogs and websites
within your niche and offer original content in exchange for a link to your website.
This has tremendous benefits for search engine optimization because other websites within your
market are going to be linking to your website, often with the anchor text of your choice!
This isn't just about improving your search engine rankings, however, since submitting guest posts
can bring lots of direct traffic as well.
How do you go about doing this?
The simplest approach is the direct approach, meaning that you would contact webmasters within
your niche by looking for the top ranking websites for many different keywords in your market.
This can certainly be time-consuming, especially if you're trying to build a list of many different
websites to contact, but you could easily outsource this part of the task.
Not everyone will agree to accept the content, of course, but that doesn't matter as long as you get a
certain percentage to say yes.
As you can imagine, it is important to focus on high-quality content as this will improve your
chances of syndication. The more successful the website is, the more traffic you will be able to
generate to your own website, but this in turn requires you to provide very high quality articles in
order to succeed.
This is really another form of article marketing, but you're actually going directly to important
websites instead of just hoping that publishers will come to the article directory and pick up your
articles.
You can think of this article marketing on steroids!

How To Generate Traffic Using HubPages
HubPages is an online writing site that can really increase visitors to your blog, and learning how to
generate traffic using HubPages is very simple.
No matter how great the ads and affiliate products are on your site, if only a handful of people visit
your blog every day, you aren't going to make enough income to sustain your business.
HubPages and other easy, online writing platforms like Squidoo, offer you the opportunity to place
links in articles you create on the site, directing traffic to your website, in addition to allowing you to
generate income via ads and affiliate links.
To clearly understand the role of these writing platforms, picture your main website or blog as being
the dartboard, visitors and traffic are the actual dart and Squidoo or Hubpages are the flights that you
put on the dart, to get it to the dartboard.
When you begin writing on HubPages, you will be allowed two outbound links - one method that
works well is to direct one of the links to another article you've written on a different site, such as
Blogger or Squidoo, and have the other link take readers directly to your main target (blog).
By writing an article, referred to as a "hub" on Hubpages, you will be able to take advantage of
ranking faster in Google, which drives traffic to your blog quicker, because these sites are considered
authority sites in Google's eyes.
Your own blog takes a long time to develop, and Google won't give it the recognition it deserves
until it builds a reputation and has quality content, so that is why these sites are so important for
bloggers.
However, do not plan on putting up low quality content or creating a hub that is not search engine
optimized because, for the hub to rank in a Google search, it still requires the same qualities as your
main blog does.
Hubs on HubPages are very easy (and fun) to create, and as long as you make them interesting and
relevant to your blog or website, you will be amazed at how quickly your traffic will grow!

How To Generate Traffic Using LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a great social networking site that if used properly, can help increase your website
traffic.
Not only do you have to create a LinkedIn profile, you also have to submit the name and the link of
your business website to the Website Section of LinkedIn so that people visiting your profile can
visit your site too.
Keeping the LinkedIn status message constantly updated with a few words about the things you
work on or the product or services you offer helps generate website traffic.
Make sure you add the blog link widget to your LinkedIn profile so that it automatically informs
your profile visitors about the latest blog and Twitter updates you make.
Just becoming a member of LinkedIn will not help generate website traffic; you have to be active
with regular visits to the site and constant update of your profile.
By joining various groups related to your field of work, you increase your website visibility and also
draw in more traffic to your site.
You have to apply to a group in LinkedIn before you can become a member of it; so make sure you
select only groups with many members in it so that your site gets maximum exposure and visibility.
Answering some of the questions posted in the LinkedIn website helps draw traffic to your site.
Start group discussions by posting interesting questions to the group or by offering helpful
information that is perhaps located in your site, and use this as a means of gaining exposure for your
business.
You have to increase the number of LinkedIn contacts you have by asking other members of
LinkedIn to become your contacts.
Once you develop the number of LinkedIn contacts you have, you have to send them messages to try
and understand their needs and if you have something they may be interested in, you could slowly
offer them a solution to their problem.
These tips will help you dramatically increase your website traffic just by becoming a part of the
social networking site, LinkedIn.

How To Generate Traffic Using MSN Ad Center
There are many different types of marketing you can do to get traffic to your website.
Pay-per-click (PPC) is well known to be one of the more successful techniques you can use to get
immediate results.
Most marketing methods require you to do a great deal of work before you start seeing traffic,
however PPC is different.
Yes, it does cost money to get started, but it is one of the few methods that can give you traffic to
your site on the same day that you start.
PPC is the process of paying for your ad to show up when people search for a particular keyword.
Your ad will show up in a separate area from the organic results, but it will be prominently
displayed.
Every time someone clicks on your ad, you pay a fee.
This is where the pay-per-click name comes from.
You will start out by creating an account within the MSN Ad Center.
The next step is to pick the keywords you want to start with - this step is crucial.
You have to decide how much you are willing to pay for each click to your site.
There will probably be many keywords that you would like to use, but their cost is simply too high.
Don't be tempted.
It's usually better to start out with keywords that are less expensive and then build your campaign up
as you begin to have success.
The trick to succeeding with PPC marketing is to analyze your results.
Some words may get a lot of clicks but no conversions - you should drop those.
When you find words that are getting a lot of conversions, you should increase the budget on those
words and find other similar words to start targeting.
PPC can be a great marketing method if you have the budget to get started and the willingness to
analyze the results and adjust your campaigns.

How To Generate Traffic Using Yahoo Answers
If you spend any time whatsoever searching through Google or other search engines, you have
probably come across a website known as Yahoo answers.
Yahoo answers is a great site where users can post questions on just about any topic imaginable, and
then other registered users will respond with their best answers.
As we said, the topics are many and varied, and they include everything from sports to health and
fitness to topics about celebrities.
The user who posted the original question can select the best answer from the bunch, and this answer
will be highlighted on that webpage.
Users can earn points by answering other people's questions, and believe it or not some people really
get into this by accumulating thousands of points over time!
How exactly can you use this for traffic? Well, one simple method is to include a reference or
source at the bottom of your answer (in other words, a link to your website).
Not every post on Yahoo answers has this kind of link, but many people do include a link to
Wikipedia or other websites that have additional information on the topic.
All you have to do is include a simple link that will lead people to a webpage of yours that contains
additional information on this specific topic, but you do have to follow some guidelines and be
careful. The members of this website can get angry and report you if they believe that you're simply
spamming the website for inbound links and sales messages.
If you're going to use Yahoo Answers to generate traffic, we recommend spending a little bit of time
each day and slowly build your content.
You should answer a variety of questions and also post questions of your own that don't include any
links to your website.
You can also occasionally link to other websites like Wikipedia.
You will, of course, link to your own website as well, but you want to be careful to make things look
more natural.
Above all, be sure to provide useful answers in your posts instead of just providing a link to your
website.

How To Generate Traffic Using Yahoo Search Marketing
Yahoo Search Marketing is the search engine's pay per click system which allows advertisers to bid
on keywords for advertising on their results pages.
Whilst the system is in the process of being phased out in favor of running Bing's Adcenter ads, the
roll out of the new system has been delayed in many countries, so there is huge opportunity to pick
up traffic.
The European market still uses Yahoo Search Marketing driven ads on search results, and this is one
market which converts extremely well with the correct approach to PPC campaigns.
The system works by bidding on keywords to allow your advertisements to appear next to search
results for those terms on Yahoo (and their partner networks).
The key to success with any pay per click campaign is tracking results as extensively as possible for
analysis.
By continually reviewing performance at the keyword level, you can identify which search terms are
providing a strong return on investment in order to expand further into that area, and those which are
under performing so than you can try to improve them or delete them completely.
Using simple techniques such as regularly rewriting ad copy to split test can create much more
powerful click through rates over time, which will mean more qualified traffic for less cost.
All of the main search engines have a primary focus on relevance, so by focusing on providing
searchers with the solutions to their needs, you will be able to complement the intentions of Yahoo
themselves, and create a sustainable advertising campaign.
Proper tracking from ad impressions on the search results through to conversions on your website
(and even repeat purchases in the future) can enable you to have a huge advantage over your
competition, as few companies track this performance fully.
Only by fully analyzing your pay per click performance in Yahoo Search Marketing will you fully
exploit the value of the traffic available, which will translate in more revenue and repeat, loyal
customers for your business.

How To Generate Legitimate Business Opportunity Leads
One of the most difficult tasks you will face as a businessman is generating legitimate business
opportunity leads. It is certainly difficult generating any kinds of leads, but finding the ones that will
benefit your business the most is the challenge at hand. So where do you start?
Before you begin generating your business opportunity leads, you have to do a few things. First, put
together a plan of what your target market is and how you intend on reaching them. Your plan can
and will change over time, but it will assist you in the beginning phases. Having a plan will help take
you from the mediocre leads to the diamonds in the rough.
Next, study up on the business and know everything about it inside and out. Selling people on your
business opportunity is not an easy task, especially when you are unfamiliar with it. Knowing
everything there is to know about the products and business as a whole will make it much more
comfortable while selling to potential leads.
As soon as you have developed a plan and become an expert in the business, you are ready to begin
generating your business opportunity leads. It can be difficult determining where the best place will
be to look. But to make things easy on yourself, ask friends and family first. This way you can
potentially reel in a few easy ones to build up your confidence.
Building a list does not happen on its own. You have to be willing to work at it and be direct with
people. When talking to your friends and family members, do not be afraid to ask them if they know
people you can contact. Keep in mind though that you want a list of people that will truly benefit
you, not just take up space.
Part of being direct is collecting information from people. Whether it is in person, over the phone, or
online you want to collect as much information as possible for your list. This means getting people's
phone numbers, email addresses, business cards. Whatever you can get from them, try not to leave
without something.
If you are struggling to come up with business opportunity leads, do not give up just yet. You can
purchase leads for your list through most business opportunities, but be cautious. Make sure you
look into the quality of these leads because they can sometimes be random people with no interest.
Putting together a list of business opportunity leads is critical to your business for a number of
reasons. It will allow you to stay in touch with customers, inform them of specials and new products,
and it will allow you to keep a personal relationship.
