Free Targeted Traffic - Get It Now!
Although it is much tougher to get targeted traffic to your site the odds that someone will buy your products will be much higher. On the other hand, if you can get enough non-targeted traffic to your site, even with a low percentage of sales, you can still increase your income by a similar amount.
Think about it. If you could get 100 highly-targeted visitors a day to your site and sell to 10% of those potential buyers, you would be making money. However, by attracting 1000 non-targeted visitors to your site each day and selling to only 1% of those viewers you would make the same number of sales. So the question becomes "which is easier to attract, targeted or non-targeted traffic?"
I don't think anyone would disagree with me when I say non-targeted traffic is much easier to get. One of the best and fastest ways to attract new visitors to your site is with autosurf programs. You can sign up with several paid autosurf sites and then almost immediately have hundreds of viewers looking at your site daily. And it is free to join many of these. No matter what you are selling a certain percentage of those viewers will in all likelihood be interested. You could be selling dog biscuits and at least a few of the 1000 visitors to your site will be interested.
Ideally you should attract targeted visitors to your site, and there are several good ways to do that. But while you are working hard to get good traffic to your site you may want to get others to visit too. After all, a few sales from low-quality visitors is better than no sales. While you are building up your targeted traffic you could also be getting non-targeted traffic for some extra sales. Why limit yourself to just one group of potential buyers?
If you are interested in quality traffic there are several methods that you might want to try. One of the best ways is with testimonials. There are two ways to benefit with testimonials. One, whenever you buy a product from someone else you can send them a testimonial that they can publish on their site. Internet marketers know that "testimonials sell products" and will many times love to add your testimonial to their site. A testimonial adds credibility and potential buyers are more likely to buy a product from someone that has lots of great testimonials. The trick here is to make sure you include a link to your site in your testimonial. When someone visits the other site and sees your testimonial they can click on the link to your site. Only people interested in what you are selling will come to your site ...targeted traffic.
The second way to benefit from testimonials is to put some of them on your site. If you can get email addresses for the people buying from you it is a simple matter of mailing a request for a testimonial to them. You can put these testimonials on your site which will increase your credibility with shoppers, even with the non-targeted shoppers.
Writing articles is another way to promote your site and get targeted visitors at the same time. There are many popular free article directories on the web that you can submit your articles to. Other web masters often get articles from these directories and then add them to their own sites. All you have to do is write an interesting article (like this one) and then submit it to several article directories. Not only will these article sites publish your article on their site (with links to your site), but others will grab your article and put it on their own sites (with links to your site). Some of the more popular article directories are ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, articledashboard.com, isnare.com and many others. Just type in "free article directories" in a search engine and you will be amazed how many there are.
These are two great methods for attracting high quality traffic. But what about the easier low quality traffic? The best way to get traffic quickly is to sign up with online autosurf programs. It seems like most of them are scams, but there are actually a few very good ones. Not only will you get your site viewed by many, but you can also make some very good money with these auto surf programs. Autosurfing has become an extremely popular way to not only make money online, but to get lots of traffic to your site.
Companies like you, that have web sites, can get lots of traffic from autosurf programs. When you join an auto surf program you have the option to list your web site in their "autosurf" rotation. Some paid auto surf programs even allow you to join for free. And you can usually join the others for just a few dollars. Thousands of other people that belong to those autosurf programs will end up viewing your web site every day.
But in addition to attracting others to your web store you can also make money autosurfing. For many, auto surfing is big home business. Some people are making thousands of dollars every month. You might actually end up making more from paid autosurf programs than you will selling your products online. Although there are plenty of autosurf scams out there you can also find some very honest auto surf programs where you can make a good return on your investment. You just need to do your homework before joining any of the hundreds of autosurf programs on the net.
So there you have it. We have discussed three successful ways to get visitors to your site. And remember, if you limit your attention to only targeted traffic you will be missing a lot of non-targeted traffic and potential sales. Keep an open mind about the type of traffic you want to attract and you can be successful with your online business.

Free Targeted Traffic

Free Targeted Traffic. Consider a Blog for Your Business.
Ok, so here's the thing. Somebody said you should start your own home business.You need to start developing residual income. So you took the plunge and signed up as an affiliate with XYZ company. You found out they give you a website with a url that you are supposed to market so you can sell products or sign other people up with. The only problem is the url is big and long and not search engine friendly. Don't get discouraged with your new online business. You have a couple of choices here.So you did some research and you heard it was a good thing to have a website. After checking into it with various website building companies you discovered this can be a bit of a bottomless money pit and you weren't sure about this route. After all you haven't even made your first sale yet.
Sadly I have watched this happen a few times. People who are naive spend a whole bunch of money setting up a website only to find they can't afford it in the long run and two months down the road they are gone. The truth is an internet business is not an overnight thing.In the beginning of your journey you are going to have to wade through a river of bald face liars to get to what really works or what the truth really is. Every time you hear phrases like "make a thousand a day " or "we do all the work" or even"we will generate $100,000 in business for you or your money back" you ought to take a step back and slap yourself across the face(like Jim Carey did in the washroom of his movie Liar Liar) because that's how it is going to feel when you sucker for any of these ploys. Ask yourself why you go to work everyday if everyone else does all the work for you. Not a chance! Only if you live in the twilight zone. We get to believing that the internet is somehow different than the real world and it just isn't.
Alright enough rambling and babbling. If you have a little work ethic I am going to lay it out for you with long range thinking. This is how you can be thrifty in the process of establishing a web presence over time.
#1 Get a blog instead of a website. What's a blog you ask? It's a journal or diary or a web log about yourself. The possibilities are endless but you are going to use it for your affiliate business. Why? Because it absolutely FREE to get one. You can put your big long affiliate link in the back office of your blog and people will only see the title you give it. A blog will do everything that a website will and the search engines love them because search engines are looking for good quality content. The one I use is www.blogger.com. and I am set up with the new blogger. Recently they have made some changes to their whole set up and it really is amazing now. There are a bunch of templates to choose from and you can change the template,colors,fonts, pictures, links, banners..etc every ten minutes if you wanted. Also you will be able to pick a domain name that the search engines will pick up on. It will look like this http://whateveryouwant.blogspot.com. Take your time and pick a good name.
#2 Next you are going to learn to write articles and join article submission companies. Don't let this scare you. It is easier than you think. They can be about anything you feel confident talking about. Stay at home moms can write about child raising. Men can write about good fishing techniques. It doesn't matter what type of articles you write about. What matters is the link you put in your articles that direct people back to your blog site. It is a little box called "resource box" or "about the author". You are going to post your articles with articles directories and on your blog site. Set a goal for yourself. Weekly I will join 3 article submission companies and write one article. Something according to the time you have to work every week. Every time you post to your blog you are going to use a little tool called pingomatic.com/ which simply lets the search engines know you have a new post. After a little while you will get the viral effect going as people start sharing your articles. You'll be amazed how effective this is.
#3 You are also going to be able to do link exchanges with other sites. Go to Google and punch in "link exchange with other websites" or anything along those lines. You will have a few million possibilities to choose from. After you pick one in your back office (or dashboard area)of your blog you will see posts,settings,layout. Click on layout. Then click add a page element. Then you will see html/javascript which is where you will paste any html you have copied from sites you want to link with. Don't do too many as this will make your blog look tacky. This is also where you paste banners from your affiliate back office. Paste it here and there it is on your blog. Simple! Now you are getting hits from other sites.
#4 Another way of getting free targeted hits to your new blog (and of course your affiliate site which is on your blog) is to participate in forums. All the articles sites I suggested earlier have forums on them also you can join or once again punch "discussion business forums" or "message board about marketing" into Google. In your profile area (on these article sites or message boards)you will have a box called signature. This is where you put your blog url. Some of them have codes to make them click able when you post but you'll figure it out. Usually it means putting [URL] in front of your blog url and something similar at the back.Once you figure it out start posting to these discussions and don't be afraid to ask questions. But be sincere and don't say anything too offensive. This is of course another way to get your link out there in cyberspace. These discussions don't go away and it's like they are trapped in time for future surfers. Set a goal like 2 posts a day and watch what happens over a month or two. If your affiliate program has key code tracking you will be able to see where your hits are coming from.
So there are a few solid ways I bet you didn't know about. Pace yourself financially before you start your own home business. This is a learning curve that takes time. Get going and remember we eat an elephant one bite at a time.
