Okay, since you’re looking for information on targeted traffic, you already understand that such traffic results in prospects coming to your blog – repeatedly and for more information. This equals more exposure to you and ultimately more sales.
But if you wish to learn how to get such traffic, you must qualify 3 criteria:
Persistence Willingness to test Regular content
If you feel you can get those handled then here are 3 quick killer strategies for driving free targeted organic traffic to your site:
#1: Reverse SEO
Everyday SEO(Search Engine Optimization) deals with optimizing your site for a chosen keyword. But the painful problem with it is that you’re competing with literally millions of websites for almost no payback in the early stages.
What’s more is that SEO is more effective if it follows a strong PPC experiment or CPA campaign…which means shelling out cash first! We can’t all can afford that.
Here’s a realization. Most webmasters and content writers really don’t have much control over their content and search engine rankings anymore. Then who does? The answer – visitors!
The strategy of reverse SEO means to get any arbitrary people to visit you at first and then leveraging each visit to go up the search engines. Instead of just trying to grab contact details and build a list, you have them comment, like, share your site and then redirect them to one of 2 things:
1.) A free report or download that contains either your sales letter or a content sample and then a link directed back to your site. This is useful when the report is qualifying in nature and leaves a void to be filled in the reader’s mind.
2.) A forum where useful content is available and where the user can further comment and share their own findings and ideas. This is extremely powerful as it makes the visitor gradually manufacture UNIQUE CONTENT for you and this gets tracked by the search engines and raises your site value. This technique used effectively is the secret behind huge sites like facebook and youtube that have great authority with rankings but hardly manufacture any of their own content!
#2: YouTube Bomb
Make a YouTube video. Or better yet, find a YouTube video related to your business/product/service, that has a substantial number of views each month. Who do you think makes most videos on YouTube?
Business owners?
No.
Actors/stars?
No.
Social media experts?
No.
FIFTEEN YEAR OLDS that wanna share!!
“Hey kid! Mind if I give you $10 or $20 for your account. Or just to place a link at the end of your videos or in the description?”
Five in seven kids get excited for that small amount of money! And its way better than spending thousands on fruitless CPA campaigns. Once you have a mutual legal understanding with the owner of the video, you already have all the traffic it gets. Just get your link in there, and watch the traffic roll in!
Now, if you feel you can do well with your own youtube video, no problem. Here’s another bomb for you. Have your video loop over so that it starts re-playing at finish instead of switching over to a new video. Secondly, at the end of the video have a 2 to 5 minute stretch with just you pointing to the link in the description.
You say this every few seconds: “Okay great, now click that link.”
Keep appealing to the viewer to click the link. Ask them “why are you still here? Click the link”:-)
And to really blast it, in the last 30 seconds…they’re still there and you can get MAD!!
Pick up a chair or a cushion and say “Click the damn link!!” Show some anger on video. Then in the end smile and have the link flash for 15 seconds.
What do you think the click-through rate on that is going to be like?
It’s HUGE!!
#3: Article circuit
Write a couple great articles on a subject or have them written on a site like iWriter.com
Post them in an ezine or PR site or modify it for a Squidoo lens, or hub at HubPages. Then, instead of linking it back to your own site like most of your competitors, have it link to a discussion forum that flashes in the top 3 Google results for “your keyword” forums.
Now make sure you link it to a particular page of interest on that forum and not that site’s homepage. Next, on the page you linked it to, post a comment with a link back to your site or a similar article on your site. Two things happen here:
You get authority flow from the article directory as well as the forum website that had a good ranking. This indirectly causes a jump in your site value which translates into more organic search traffic.
You have an opportunity to filter readers at the forum level of the circuit by promising a benefit that can otherwise get your article rejected at the article directory. This makes the user mark out your article and pay more attention to it. Which means they’re more likely to join your traffic stream!
I hope these somewhat unusual ways of generating traffic get your wheels turning. Traffic is where you find it…now go get your share!
The Initial Frustration. A lot of website owners can find it really difficult to generate a good level of free targeted traffic. It’s really frustrating; you have a great idea that you know people will love, but you can’t generate the traffic to sustain the site, or get the sales you know your product deserves. However it isn’t as difficult given the right strategy as one might imagine. Knowledge as with all things is key and the more privy you are to it the further you will go, however having knowledge is a pretty easy observation to make, so lets discuss and highlight that knowledge.
WASTING YOUR TIME & RESOURCES.: Spending all of your time trying to find new ways to get free web traffic to your site and buying new programs and books that are supposed to help you generate the kind of free web traffic your site needs is no way to run a business. Some simple free procedures can takes care of all that.
DOMAIN NAME: From the beginning you should try to name your domain name as close a match to the websites content ie if your website is about cooking then a domain name such as bettercooking would work well.
KEYWORDS: That all important web content for your website should be fresh and as unique as you can get it and don’t forget the all important grammar and punctuation so spell check your content as search engines hate these grammatical errors, assuming all is well regarding the content you want to pepper it with keywords and these should be placed strategically about your site not all bunched up in one corner. At the same time you don’t want to overuse them. Your keywords should be wisely chosen and by this I mean conform to what you would expect your target audience would be looking for, so if you employ keywords such as free X (x meaning the product) and you are in the business of selling that product then you are only going to attract visitors looking for freebies while you want buyers, so be cautious on the keyword use. Keywords can be obtained from a number of places google keyword tool being a free and easy site to do your keyword searching. ( NB: try to imagine you are your target audience looking for your product and what you will consequently type into the search box to find that product.)
IMAGE RIGHT: Search engines will also optimise your rank if your photo’s and images have been tagged with text relevant to the search engines understanding of them. It would be worth mentioning at this point that keyword /phrases should be incorporated into the URL and other related file names also this should be applied to the title tag along with your meta description tags. (Nb be warned do not simply dump these keyword/phrases in your website as mentioned as you may be viewed as spamming. Remember strategic planning of your keyword usage.)
ARTICLE SUBMISSION: Back links are very important and helpful in getting you higher rankings. To achieve this it would be best to get links from high page rank pages. Submitting articles to article directories, blogs and forums is one of the best ways to obtain back links. It is important though not to abuse this method of traffic generation by simply and vulgarly using it as an outright advertising tool. You need to give good sound quality information. Several good article directories exist and these can be employed to help you get exposure you may even attract browsers as well to your website.
ARTICLE HOUSEKEEPING: As with your website so with your articles again try to give them relevant and catchy titles, together with keyword relevant employment to get web traffic and SEO value attached to your article. This will certainly help you generate huge traffic to your website. So to cap it all when writing an article keep in mind your readers buy also make sure that article is SEO value rated.
SOCIAL NETWORKING: Apart from article submission other ways to raise ones profile would be to use social network sites such as twitter and face book not to mention entering the bogging arena and advertising your website and consequently if you again strategically deliver product/website then you will get that targeted traffic and hence website traffic.
IT REALLY WORKS: Lots of people always ask about the best ways of increasing traffic to their website for free, and there are many tried and tested methods out there that just don’t do the trick. You’ll try lots of different products, but none will ever cut it. There is software out there that will take the drudge out of some of the aforementioned, however these simple methods above are free and readily available to all of us.
THE DON’TS OF GENERATING WEB TRAFFIC: So it would be prudent to give some of the mistakes to avoid in increasing web traffic.
Make sure not to choose poor keywords in other words make sure your selection is not highly unique and popular as these will draw respectively no customers and you will put yourself in a competitive arena and therefore face stiff competition.
Leaving out title tags which can greatly improve SEO.
Do not design your website only in flash as it becomes difficult for the viewers with slower connections to download it while at the same time the search engines find it more difficult to crawl. So provide HTML version as flash only sites can be ignored by search engines.
Forgetting to Provide your website with a sitemap as this will make a better impact on the search engines if it is included, Hence the search engines can index and crawl.
Using to many images in headings and menus
Using backlink farms stick to creating your backlinks via article submission on authentic sites. Also do not use too much interlinking.
Keep a close check on spelling and grammar as spelling mistakes in such as your links would not reflect well on the craftsmanship of your website.
So in part two I would like to discuss the pros and cons out there in actually buying web traffic and its comparative effectiveness.
There are a wide variety of tickets and citations that one get while driving. Some of these can be fought on your own while others you will need an attorney.
What is a traffic misdemeanor?
A traffic misdemeanor is actually a criminal offense that can earn one actual jail time. These would be things that include: driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, performing a hit and run, driving without insurance, reckless driving, or any other form of driving where someone is injured or even killed.
These differ from state to state in severity, but for each one of these since they are so serious a lawyer is needed to give you the legal advice needed in that situation.
A traffic infraction or traffic citation on the other hand is not a criminal offense. Something like speeding is breaking the law, but in most cases, unless one is going more than double the speed limit which is considered reckless driving, it’s a minor issue that can be resolved in a traffic court. These types of driving infractions do not require a lawyer in most cases.
It’s acceptable to challenge these types of tickets and one is within their rights to do so. Two of the best pieces of advice to keep in mind is to be respectable to the officer since you will face the cop in court again.
Also one should never admit guilt on any level. For example, Don’t agree you were speeding. Don’t give an excuse as to why you were speeding to the officer. Don’t admit in court you are guilty but think you excuse will somehow excuse the guilt.
