3 Tips For Dramatically Increasing Website Traffic

I've personally been doing Direct Internet Marketing and sales online for almost 11 full years now. I've been around literally hundreds of people who dive in and make fast cash, then get out of the game completely. There's a right way and a wrong way to do things online. If you want to make income online the rest of your life, you have to educate yourself on how certain sub niches within the Internet Marketing industry work. Then you have to get something setup, test it, and finally scale and optimize it if it's working. Scaling means ramping it up as far as you can. There are no shortcuts!

Website Traffic Tip #1 - Article Marketing

Since I'm now a full time Article Writer and Blogger, I can speak volumes on this subject. Each time you write an article and submit it, you are opening up a unique communication channel. If you open up enough of these, the flood gates start pouring in. There are over a dozen really top notch Article Directories you can join with High PR. Just to name a few are Amazines, Buzzle, Article Dashboard, Go Articles, Ezine Articles and Aff Sphere. There are even content hubs out there that pay you per thousand impressions like eHow. Make sure you read each directories Terms of Service to stay compliant, since some allow things others don't. Also you can get free Unlimited Backlinks simply by submitting articles.

Concentrate on providing high quality unique content and building a long-term relationship with these places and they will appreciate you, and send you lots of free leads. Article Marketing is not a fast way to generate leads, but it has a very pleasant effect when done in quantity. So I'd recommend writing one article around every keyword in your niche. You can write these yourself or outsource them to someone like Need An Article. They're just like a jukebox, pop in $5.50 and they'll pop you out a unique article. If you can't afford it you're much better off writing them yourself than not getting it done at all. I've found I can write 5-7 unique articles a day almost effortlessly on a subject I'm passionate about.

If you find an article you wrote is getting a ton of traffic, write a few more articles on very similar articles and submit these to Article Directories as well. This is the SEO version of scaling and will help you get a lot more free traffic.

Website Traffic Tip #2 - Start a Blog

I really think in a few years Websites will still exist but will be very uncommon compared to blogs. The reason I say this is because in just the last 6 months, amazing plug-ins for Blogs have just been released that will allow you to do almost anything. There's even a Blog plug-in that will allow you to run an entire Advertising Network. You can turn any blog in any Niche into a revenue cash machine with the right theme and plug-ins. There's a Blog plug-in that will let you use Google Analytics without having to hack the source code.

There's a plug-in that will allow you to create the title you want and change the URL to whatever you want. And most of these are free, and a few of the real good ones might cost you a one-time fee but in almost all cases are less than $100.00. So if you haven't started a blog yet it's something to seriously think about. The sooner the better, you want your New Blog getting authority and trust with Google as soon as possible. Plus a blog gets indexed much faster than a website.

Website Traffic Tip #3 - Pay Per Click Marketing

9 years ago back when Overture was around, I use to upload a big list of keywords and start making $60.00 or so per day within a few hours just by sending them to the merchant site. The game has changed since then. In order to become successful at Pay Per Click Marketing you need to find a good mentor. We've been using Pay Per Click Classroom and going through all the lessons in the back office. There's a ton more to learn than 9 years ago. It does cost money up front and you should know things like how to use the free Google Adwords Editor.

You also need to know how to research what your competitors are paying for each keyword and how to optimize your PPC Campaign once you evaluate it. You might bid on 100 keywords and find out that only 1-2 convert. These 1-2 keywords will be your cash cows, and you should scale these to the hilt. Meaning if you have a winner in Google, go ahead and replicate the winning keywords in Yahoo Search and the MSN Ad Network.
