However recently I changed that song-and-dance. And if you're a webmaster who follows that line of thinking, you should probably re-think your strategy too. It's flawed for one very simple reason.
People are online mainly for information. And no matter what you do - or don't do - many of your sites visitors are eventually going to click off to your competitors web sites anyway.
That doesn't mean they won't buy something from you, or perform some other desired action. It's just a fact of doing business online, where your closest competitors are really just a click away.
That's why avid, hard core golfers buy golfing videos, subscriptions to golfing magazines, they read golfing books, they may even have simulated golf course video games at home. People just want great information, and they'll continue looking for it even if they've read volumes already.
So in all actuality by feeding this desire for information (your information... other people's information) you might actually be keeping visitors on your site longer, and giving them incentive to come back. Cool huh?
But more importantly, by including other people's articles on your site, you can also enhance your own profits.
How? Follow these simple steps:
1) Create an article directory on your existing site.
2) Collect targeted articles from directories like ezinearticles.com, isnare.com, and so on. Add them to your sites article directory. Make sure that each article is given its own individual web page.
3) Add AdSense advertising or Affiliate Sensor ads to each article page.Their hot zone map will help you determine the best placement for advertisements on your web page.
By following these 3 steps you've done a couple of things.
First and foremost you've created an additional revenue source. Each time someone clicks on an AdSense ad, you make money. Or if you opted for Affiliate Sensor ad's, each time someone clicks on one, and purchases something, you make money.
And secondly, you've added some new content for your sites visitors. This will keep them clicking around a lot longer.
It's easy, relatively painless, and you can continue adding new articles to further increase you profit opportunities. Just think of it as your good karma for giving the article authors a little free publicity.
The question is: how do you do that? I know you've heard about start page programs with the great potential they have, but also the pitfalls if you don't use them correctly. First, let's stop some of the start page traffic myths they feed us on the net.
1) Use of auto credit software: scripts. Huge mistake. JUST DON'T DO IT. PERIOD. I cannot stress this enough. Do not buy any kind of automated software that will give you credits without using your finger. It won't work. Trust me I did that mistake. I can speak from my personal experience. It won't work because the serious start page programs that attract real visitors into viewing your site have anti-cheating technology. What is that anyway? It's a technology that traces the software and fake clicks and in return the start page program webmaster disables your account or bans your site for good. On the other hand, many programs don't have that technology. Why not use them? No way! Think. Many other webmasters will do the same with the auto credit software. The result? No human eye will see your site
2) No clicking and auto hits programs. Well I covered this in a way before. You have to click. I also wouldn't recommend the auto hits programs. Think again, you sign to 15 auto hits programs, you sit and watch TV and your site's sales grow. Do you really believe that? You think you're the only one doing this? No. Hundreds or even thousands webmasters do the same. So actually, nobody sees your site.
3) Promote your product or affiliate page and you boost your sales. Unfortunately it won't work. You have to grow and promote your down line. You have to get referrals. Other wise your efforts will go in vain. All start page programs have up to 5 or even 6 levels bonus traffic if you refer other Internet users. That is our goal: huge down lines.
For maximum results you can upgrade your memberships to pro in order to get much more benefits like thousands visitors to your site every month, better traffic exchange ratio, and big discounts on purchasing extra traffic.
Now let's do some math. How much can you click per day? Half an hour? One hour? If you click, one hour per day you can estimate that you will get around 100 visitors per day (not hits - visitors). Let's say that you click one hour per day for 20 days per month. That means 20x100= 2000 visitors per month and if we go on 2.000x12=24,000. Yes, we are talking about 24,000 visitors to your web site per year FREE! You don't pay a dime! Not bad!
Can you imagine the results if you do more? However, remember you must promote your referrals page that you must create. This advertisement industry has a future and webmasters who deal with it SERIOUSLY will get the big share of the pie. Do not miss yours.
