If you really want to increase web traffic targeted, hungry and ready to flash the credit card, then it’s probably time to quit believing there’s a magic wand to wave and it’s a done deal. Building big traffic demands time and or money thrown at it, but most of all it requires persistence.
In fact to increase web traffic targeted, hungry and ‘just looking for now’ is just as crucial because you will need to build a list to capture this traffic. If you stake everything on one hit, one chance to get them to buy from you, you are greatly reducing your income potential. So before we study methods to increase web traffic, do make sure you have a gateway page or pages, linked to your autoresponder with follow up e-mails queued up.
Nailed that? great. OK, let’s look at throwing money at the traffic subject initially. Unless Google have banned you from using their Adwords programme – which has happened to at least 50,000 marketers this year, then this is a great way to begin. If you have been banned you can use Yahoo! Search Marketing, Bing, and Ask.
Why begin with pay per click? Because this, especially Adwords, will give you immediate and fantastic information as to which keywords are bringing traffic, and most crucially which are bringing actual buyers. You do this by ensuring your ‘destination link’, in paid or unpaid marketing, has a code at the end like this: yourwebsite.com?t=trafficsource.
This way, when you see your subscribers recorded in your Autoresponder, you can see where the traffic has originated from. Pay per click is the best tactic to begin to increase web traffic targeted to specific keywords because as you zone in on keywords that draw buyers you can set up the next phase of your traffic campaign, unpaid or ‘organic’ traffic.
By deploying pay per click to begin with, you have learned which are the ‘hot’ keyword phrases. These are almost impossible to second-guess, so the paid search phase is very useful. Also, if you pay to get a subscriber on to a list, you’ll have many opportunities to monetize them later, plus the fact that someone who put your hot keyword phrase into the engine is by definition an ultra-targeted prospect.
So, on to the unpaid side, and you have a whole gamut of options to increase web traffic targeted to your hot keywords. You can set up a blog using Wordpress.org with your best performing keyword in the url. The search engines love blogs, and if you regularly post articles optimized around targeted keywords with one or two links to your squeeze page (using the keyword as the anchor text) then your blog will pump targeted traffic into your list for years to come.
You can also write articles, or have them produced for you at elance.com or rentacoder.com, again optimized around keywords that your pay per click results have proven to be ‘hot’ keywords. Submit these articles to sites like ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and articlebase.com. You can also automate this work with article submission software. This can be a huge time saver. You can 'spin' your article (substituting synonyms for many of the words) and submit automatically to hundreds of article directories. This will create lots of backlinks to your site - improving page rank - as well as bringing extremely targeted visitors.
You can also post comments to blogs in your niche with a ‘signature’ below your post that links back to your blog – which constantly improves your blog’s backlink status and thus its page rank.
You can also use Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo, Hubpages, and Scribd to submit keyword-optimized content. Social bookmarking sites such as Technorati, Stumbleupon and Digg are great ways to create buzz for your blog. Web 2.0 opportunites to build huge free traffic is a topic in itself, and certainly worth mastering.
In short, if you make a concerted and preferably daily effort to increase web traffic targeted to your ‘buyer-bringing’ keywords, then you can build a traffic-pulling system which will work for you 24/7. Isn’t that what we all want?
