[L320]Life Is A Traffic Jam

by Eric Toh, Eri

If you already have a web site but it doesn't have very many visitors, you must really give a serious thought to it. To stay in the competition, you need to increase your traffic flow and you must do it right now. You must work hard and be ahead of your competitors by getting as much traffic as possible to your web site.

If you don't know the sure-fire methods of generating traffic to your web site, then consider the following 7 points:

1. Advertise in good search engines.
The most popular places to advertise your site are Google Adwords and Yahoo's Overture. Advertising in these two places will ensure a good flow of traffic. However, placing ads here would demand some financial investment on your part. Many may hesitate to spend money on advertisement, but remember it is important that you spend some money on advertising in these places because you will soon realize that the money spent is worth it.

2. Link exchange:
With link exchange, both sites benefit equally. Link exchanges enhance traffic flow without a doubt. The more you exchange links, the more you can expect traffic to increase on your web site.

3. Use Viral Marketing
At little or no cost, viral marketing spreads information about your site and products. You can use your site link as your signature on forums and in all your email. This way your site gets from one person to another very quickly.

4. Use of relevant keywords and key phrases for your site's content
Keywords are important since they are what produce a search engine's result pages.
Good use of keywords helps get a better page ranking for your web site in the search engines. However, don't over stuff your content with keywords, instead maintain about a 7% keyword density. This will attract search engine notice.

5. Articles and press releases
Write articles and press releases and submit them to directories and e-zines. The articles and press releases must contain a link to your site. This will definitely generate traffic to your site. Also give brief details of your site and services at the end of the article or press release.

6. Join forums and form online communities
Try to build a good reputation. Once you do that people will more likely trust your site and also recommend your site to others. This will definitely enhance traffic flow to your site. Make satisfying your customers a top priority. Once they are happy with your products and services, they will keep coming back to you.

7. Distribute newsletters
Start sending newsletters. This is will arouse curiosity and they will definitely visit your site. And if they find what they want, they will recommend your site to friends and relatives.

How?

Conducting Joint Ventures!

It's creating a business partnership that has long term benefits,
a win-win outcome. And for you, it's growing your list!

In other words, if you've got something of value to give someone and
they've got something you want (their list), then start
'wheelin' and dealin'!

Not only that, joint ventures with several businesses can keep
your cost down to less than a penny, save you valuable time and can
create a stampede of targeted traffic.

It's even more quicker with the 'Super Affiliates'who can bring in
truck loads of hungry traffic to your site.

Furthermore, conducting joint ventures with other businesses can only
increase your chances of more sales, more exposure and increase
your opt in list quickly.

Therefore, search through ezine directories and article directories
for possible joint venture partners. Research their site for
compatibility, and more importantly understand their business needs.

Better still, subscribe to their eZine for further research.

Your GOAL with a JV partner should be the following:

1) Respect them and 'Help them to succeed and they'll help
you to succeed"!

If they win big time, you'll earn their respect, and they'll be drooling
for more in the future!

2) Make your Offer 'Outstanding'.

An offer that has two purposes for your JV partner, one is to benefit their
list and two, to benefit them 'Big Time'!

Again if your JV partner believes in your product, they'll market the
product for you.

3) Look for a JV partner that will complement your product (a targeted
audience or a product that will improve your offer)

4) Access to your JV's List

If you contact 10 people with a list size you are comfortable with,
say 1,000, and 10% from each list subscribes to your offer, your list will
grow from zero to 100 in 1/4 of the time!

The best part is you don't have to spend a cent on
advertising, and more importantly you'll have more time to plan on
other projects.

For a long term gain, plan an irresistible offer, like a greater portion of
the profits to your JV partners, and your sales force will continue to grow.

Your army of affiliates will be sprinting to advertise and market your site
to get that sale for you.

Not only will your sales grow, your list of customers will jump to the
roof!

It's as simple as that!
