Learn Effective Methods of Website Traffic Generation

When I was new to Internet Marketing I didn’t want to take the time necessary to learn effective methods of website traffic generation. Experienced marketers were more than willing to teach me, but I was too impatient.

So, I decided I was going to show everybody how to fast-track my online success! I would use a way to get tons of website visitors that was quick, easy and effective – or so I thought.

What I did not understand at that time was that there were two kinds of traffic – targeted traffic and untargeted traffic – and only one of those was truly effective for the purpose of online sales success. Can you guess which one?

Well, I spent a lot of money to learn that lesson, and while I did save some time and effort, I definitely did not earn much income through the process and it did absolutely nothing to improve my business or my brand.

When I was an online marketing newbie and I was searching for effective methods of website traffic generation, one of the methods that I happened upon was a “guaranteed visitors” service, of which there are a number. That is where, for a fee, the service sets up an automated process to send traffic to your website. They guarantee a certain number of visitors, depending on how many you choose to pay for.

Now, I don’t want readers to think that I am criticizing such services, because there are many and I can only speak to the few I tried, but the guaranteed visitors that I received were extremely unresponsive to my offers and promotions. Despite receiving many thousands of visitors through several attempts, I did not make enough money even to pay for the services. As a result, I lost faith in the process of “guaranteed visitors” and no longer trust their marketing claims.

I suppose you could say that with experience, I have grown wiser and now recognize the value of learning and applying proven techniques to generate targeted traffic to my websites.

Targeted traffic is visitors who are drawn to your website because they believe you have something that will solve a specific problem for them or make their life easier in some specific way. If your ads and promos state clearly what specific solutions you have to offer, and if those solutions are honestly made available on your website, then the visitors who land on your site will be perfect prospects and very possibly responsive buyers.

What methods does a person use to attract targeted traffic? There are a variety of proven methods and each could be the subject of a separate post, but some of the more common methods are article marketing, video marketing, product reviews, forum posting and other forms of social networking, press releases and various other forms of back-link building.

Please understand that the quality of each of these methods is just as important as the method itself. For example, if you submit an article to a directory, make certain that the topic in the article is acutely focused on the specific interests of the type of prospect you are targeting. And make sure that the page or website you point them to in your author resource box is directly related to the topic in the article. If you fail to connect on any of these vital points, your visitor will not be targeted and your sales success will not be likely.

You can learn effective website traffic techniques from a variety of qualified resources easily found on the Internet or through your usual circles of influence.

If you are interested in a free resource that I have just made available to my readers and subscribers, then I invite you to take a minute now to read my blog post, the Top 25 Ways To Get Free Website Traffic eBook. It is an excellent resource filled with effective methods of website traffic generation proven to work for any website.
