More About Paid Traffic
September 25, 2008
Paid traffic can bring you thousands or millions of hits in 24 hours. Most of these hits visit your website for a second or two and then boom they are gone. Targeted traffic can bring you customers that are already interested in what you to offer they stay longer because they want what you are selling. You will therefore get more sales and make more money with targeted traffic.
The premiere paid traffic source is Google’s Adwords, as well as Yahoo’s and MSN’s versions of the same thing. You pay Google for each visitor to your site. Google publishes your ad on hundreds of other sites and sends anyone who clicks on those ads to your site. You pay Google for the traffic at a rate of 5 cents a click to 5 dollars ( or more) a click depending on the popularity of the keywords and what other competitors are willing to bid. You have to know what you are doing or it will eat your lunch. A simple description of the process is in no way enough information for you to make money. You need some serious training before you waste your money. As you will see many places on this site, I recommend Wealthy Affiliate Community as the premiere place to study and learn from the best. They are focused almost exclusively on making Adwords work for affiliates. Read more

So you have a website and you have a product that you want people to know about. That’s nice.
Now what?
Without traffic, and lot’s of it. You’re sunk.
Here are ten tips for generating traffic to your website.
(1) Commit To A Plan
If this is a hobby, you can feel free to skip this step. However, if like most Internet Marketers you are interested in making money then develop a plan for reaching your niche Internet audience and stick to it.
(2) It’s Never Too Late To Start SEO’ing
Even if your site is already built you can start SEO’ing with new content that you ad (like articles… hint hint 
). Don’t get carried away with this, just add your meta tags description, keywords & title. Your article needs to start with your keyword phrase as well as having that same keyword phrase appear near the top and at the bottom of the article. The best way to accomplish this is by using the bum marketing approach to article writing.
(3) Why Stop With A Website
Building a free blog while linking your website with your blog and back again is a really really good idea. If you create content rich pages (like articles… hint hint ) of interest to your niche audience and link your website and blog together at those pages you will be doing yourself a terrific favor.

Generating Traffic To Your Blog
September 14, 2008
People love highly niche related blogs. Search engines love blogs focused on a target market. Even your website loves the blog it is connected to.
So you really only have one choice.
Build a blog!
You can have a blog up and going within a couple hours tops. I know, because I do it frequently.
However, just building a blog is not enough. You also need to start generating traffic to your blog else all you really have is an electronic paperweight.
*** Be Creative *** One of the best ways to get that traffic you are looking for is by writing articles. I’ve tried this process with and without the bum marketing concept included. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s much easier to compete against 1500 different entries than it is 23 million. Further, while I would indeed use an article submitter software, I would also logon to all the key article directories that I want to use and setup profiles where that option is made available.
*** Hug A Blogger *** I got this idea from Ankesh Kothari’s blogclout blog, and I recommend you follow it.
First, find other blogs related to your niche audience using Technorati and get involved with them. Don’t market to these other blogs, but rather provide valuable responses to their posts. Read more
