Traffic methods...

Some good info here for newbies, thanks for sharing.

as an SEO person, I would say this is a perfect article... However, I don't think this article will help newbies as it's too much generic. each one of those mini-paragraphs that you wrote, can be detailed to be a large article that is even larger than the whole article that you've written.

Overall I would say excellent - keep up the good work

To expound upon what Wassim said, it is indeed a great point of reference for newbies conducting research on effective internet marketing.

Thank you for taking the time to post it :-)

great post very helpful

Good post for newbies about the importance of traffic/visitor generation.

Get those landing pages up and get busy generating traffic to those pages.

Master 1 tactic to begin with and then master at least 3 or 4 for traffic diversity.

Too many people do everything except master traffic.

- Fast selling products are a dime a dozen:

- Anyone can slap up some type of landing page:

Master traffic generation and you will earn your freedom as it separates the men from the boys.

QKZ283,

Many... Many thanks for the details and resources supplied in your post.

So far, no one else has stepped up and added any REAL VALUE to the conversation.

I see a lot of blah.. blah... but no REAL VALUE ADDED!

I give you HIGH PRAISE for providing not only ideas, but TACTICS and RESOURCES!

Thanks Again!

I'm a newbie. Thanks for the info.

Great stuff...what a list.

Traffic is the easy part.

Conversion is a bit harder.

Thanks for the good information QKZ283.
I never realize they are so many ways to get traffic.

thanks
Jim

Good stuff! Thanks for the traffic listing information. You are the man!

Great post
It helped alot- I was wondering about a couple of things and was afraid to ask. Thank you very much

It's a great overview for newbs. Put a bit of so-called 'blackhat' stuff in there and bingo. Away you go.

Wow ... that is a very impressive list and a great help to Newbies.

However, as mentioned previously, encouraging them to follow just three or four methods until they are completely familiar with those will benefit them sooner.

But, you have done a fantastic job with this thread.

Good luck to you.

Great Post! Thanks for the information, it will come in good use I´m sure.

Thanks for the resources. I learned some new information.

But from my experience, for generating traffic, its best to start off mastering 1 resource, get really good at it and then move on the next one, else my focus is divided between 15 different things-to-do and I see a drop in my productivity and also in my returns.

Video traffic rocks !

thanks,a very good one for newbies

thanks you, but you did not say that where I can get good traffic?

thanks for that informative post

I am a newbie, great info!

Wow! I better get started on this right away! So much to do, so little time.

Seriously, thanks for posting this! Having these methods written all in one place is a great resource.

When you see big lists like this - be wary.

OK - full of great ideas, thanks qkz283.......but how much time do you have in a day?

Try just doing 3 or 4 of these things and you will see your time get eaten up in a flash.

The key is to find a method that works well.

Some methods work a whole lot better than others.

Better to spend your time on the methods that work best. Also, remember;

You want targeted traffic - not just any crappy traffic.

It makes a real difference to your results - and results are what you need.

That was an awesome post. I printed a pdf of it so I can refer to it later.

Email: Email is a very significant marketing tool. Send emails to your friends and people that know you, but don't spam.

Thanks great post. Regarding email how would you go about using optin/ double optin lists you can buy from the interent. Is there a way to send to these lists cheaply.

Any recommendations on sites to buy from and where to send to from would be great?

Great post! very helpful information!
Marketing online is by far the best way to build your business but the fact is, that it can be difficult at times.
The main thing is to stay consistent and keep pushing forward.

Thank you for the great information.

I am going to look into this list.

I hope to find some things on there that I haven't tried yet.

Have a good day.

Paul

This is more than "simply a list of ideas." It provides gold for a newbie and silver and bronze for those who have forgotten the basics. When you keep at something long enough you either get better or you get lazy, depending on when you become successful.

good stuff might help me

awesome, thanks for the great information.

paul

There is a lot of info in this initial post. I agree that all of the ways are great. The problem is, if true entrepreneurs are like me, they do the crazy thing and try to make them all work at once!

A strategy that works, is taking on one, maybe two at a time and getting good at them. Really learning what to do, how to do it, and implementing it as you learn.

Expectations are high for newbies. Many, like me probably have a low budget to start, and can't power buy traffic, or outsource everything all at once.

It takes time to build traffic on a low budget. You must find the good sources of specialized knowledge and follow them. This is why I created my video series ... to stop the fruitless, expensive, and wasteful searches for others.

Also, new online businesses must loose the idea that they are going to create a business for free. That isn't going to happen. Businesses costs money, and maintaining and sustaining traffic flow costs money ... in one way or another (direct or indirect).

So, all the points in the lead post are great, but don't go after them all at once.

I can see you put alot of effort into this. I will bookmark this page. Thanks for that.

Awesome post! I have bookmarked it

Very good article, I saved it for future reference.

Dude your awesome! Thanks for the list man!

Just in case people want to take this article another step...

You could probably create a 47$ product on each of these topics. Use this article as a base of research then explore, expand, and package into something new.

Reading is great...but packaging information into a new product is what IM is all about

Cheers,

Wow, some great traffic info, covered so much. Thanks for sharing!

Generating traffic is an important aspect. Thanks for sharing this information . This would really help a lot of people to generate there leads .

Useful information.Thanks for sharing.

Wow that is some great info! Allot more than I have time to do at this time but definitely great info!

Thanks I plan to apply some of your advice.

I've heard a funny traffic suggestion... like bring a banner/board with your URL and get behind TV reporters on scene...

But one that worked for me, create a useful resource/tool and give it away for free.

Let me give you a few examples... I have my MiniSiteGallery.com, which is a free mini-site template gallery. Designers can submit designs and others can download and use them for free. They'd have to register to download though. But I am getting new members signing up everyday. Though getting designs is much harder... I approach designers individually and request for a design and interview.

Another example is where I created a simple Countdown script with PHP-Javascript. I post it at HotScripts.com and it's been sending steady traffic, from HotScripts.com and from organic searches. Look it up, it's hosted at MiniSiteGallery.com too...

My simple traffic idea -- awesome useful resources/tools for free...

thanks for the info. you have just create a very useful checklist for me although i am not a newbie anymore. I find article marketing combined with social networking a very powerful combo.

So much good information, Thanks.

There are too many work involved if applied all the methods in this article. We just need to concentrate a few methods consistently will help to increase traffic.

awesome post. thanks for sharing that. I think this is very important to have a list of things in one place. Thanks again!

I did not know about prweb.com, thanks!

THANKS for a really useful post! And it cannot be emphasized enough: get BACKLINKS, BACKLINK, BACKLINKS

Hi cool post! but just wondering with the rss feed (still new!) Is it ok to post your ezine articles to 55 Rss directories? or would you only post to some?

That is one very big list of how to get traffic and build backlinks. Some of those I really didn't know or didn't think of using.

Usually I don't read really long posts, but this is a good one, so good that I think I'll have to bookmark it for reference.

Thanks

Oh one more thing - the 55 RSS Feed Directories - what a valuable source, that is fantastic.

Thanks
again

Articles are so easy to do and use. They can be posted all over the place. Hire somebody to write them for you if you can't do it. I write just a few per week, maybe 5-10 of em' and easily do a few hundred bucks a week just doing that. No trouble at all, then if you do some web 2.0 stuff, like socialmarker.com on your articles, and submit the articles with article marketer or submityourarticle... add 1 post or so every now and then to a blog and have some kind of list building you are pretty much set with a plan of action

This is heavy and need repeat reading to digest all the information here. Thanks.

I'd say - pick a few methods that appeal to you, focus on them and screw the rest. In my experience when people try and do it all they often end up doing nothing....

A couple of offline suggestions. You mentioned flyers and newspapers.

What about the old standby..direct mail (postcards)

Also, talk radio...buy 1/2 hour and answer people's questions about your niche.

A little more off-the-wall...bumper stickers or T-shirts "ask me about..."

an absolutely stunning post. I really like the way that your first step is to identify what you want from the traffic. Sadly too many people start building traffic without thinking it through.

Thanks for the info mate =P
have only read half yet but more when i get home

Excellent List. Anyone reading should be able to at least find three options that they can start driving traffic to their website(s). The most successful affiliates use traffic to build a list, which is a long term asset if treated with respect and care.

Very informative, concise and straight to the point

Hey qkz,

to tell you the truth, I haven't read all
of it, only the first 3 paragraphs, but skiping
through the bold titles... you did a great job
of compiling a great resource.

Thanks.

Igor

thanks for you nice sharing

Excellent list! Thanks a lot. I am exploring some of the methods you listed and am curious what other people of these methods.

I am a newbie and this is just fantastic! thanks a bunch for sharing this !

Thanks for the info. Good article.

Thank you for sharing this to us, it is a big help for newbies like me in here.

This is an excellant bullet point reference overview on how it's done. Could also be used as the basis for a table of contents... in fact it's not too far off from the TOC that I have right now for a book I'll publish later this year...

Newbies - just take each paragraph, and search the keywords and phrases in the WarriorForums for tons and tons of great information that is more in depth on each paragraph.

Great job OP!

Matt

I have a question. If you have a backlink with anchour text as (1) "XXXXproductreviews.com"

Is that the same as having anchour text (2) "XXXX reviews" since the first link has the two key words present.

Or is link 1 not as good as link 2

wow! thank you for sharing them. im going to keep a copy of this post, as a referrence that i could always look up when ever i go astray.
i hope that's ok.
thanks again

I found this to be extremely helpful in learning how to get my site on the 'engines'. When you promote local bands though the keywords you find have such a high competition rate that they are almost un-usable... I need to know HOW to build an xml sitemap and where and how to upload it so i will do as you say and search Google! Thank you for the help!

really really useful information especially for newbies like me. thank you very much.
