Most effective!

Social sites make a good viral experience. I have Twitter to thank for some of the contacts that I have made over the past months.

Cool Man!

Thanks.

[NickMarks]

Just a note: the winner # I'm going by is the one in the top right of your post.

I suggest to use yahoo groups to drive traffic
to your sales pages or opt in lists.
They work in my opinion better than safelists,
and nobody already suggested them.

Another one (slightly more wild, but I couldn't resist):

Get Endorsed by a Celebrity

The Theory: Imagine if Oprah Winfrey were to say on her talk show, "Know what? All of you watching this show today should go online right now and visit The Warrior Forums to learn all about internet marketing!"

How Hard Is It: Practically impossible, unless you happen to know a celebrity.

How To Go About It: Stalk celebrities till they give in? Pester your friends to introduce you to Z-list actors they might know, then pester the Z-list actors to introduce you to Y-list actors as you work your way up the alphabet? Who knows.

Advantages: Please tell me you don't need me to spell it out...

Regards,

Forums make for a good method if your sig file is loaded and ready to rumble. Posting will increase your exposure.

[Ross Kenny]

Business Cards can be dropped through letter boxes in your neighbourhood

There are some run down areas not far from where I live with a lot of single mothers
who are desperate for extra work.

You can market to this group using offline methods bringing these customers online.

For example,

You could set up a eBay training Course teaching single parent mothers how to make
extra money online. This could be turned into a membership site and could end up being
a very tight niche.

Food for thought...!!

[CarlosGarcia]

Another great traffic tip is to create a cool training viral video
that you can submit to YouTube, and other video sharing websites.

You can even turn your articles into training videos.

[Dave777]

This is a double sided traffic idea, all explained in the following article. Keep in mind, you can apply this to any niche, even if you don't blog but have a great or unique product. And here's another food for thought on the other side of things, specialized businesses need blog brokers to help them match up cross promotions & jv's for their businesses...

How To Market Through Other People's Blogs:
Attention, Bloggers
For small businesses that can't afford a lot of marketing, the blogosphere offers a cheaper alternative

Has anyone mentioned word of mouth?

[barron5]

Imanswers is where most of my traffic is coming from. Great site!

[barron5]

I print up a few advertising flyers for more tangible products and do a direct mailing through the mailing list that I aquired through a list service.
And old yet effective method of direct marketing.

[NickMarks]

Congrats Ross Kenny!

Hey thanks..!

[Kate Carpenter]

Since every little bit helps, I use Yahoo Answers for a good portion of traffic & sales. Funny thing is, I use the same answer about 90% of the time and for every 3-4 I answer, I get best answer.

[Paul M]

Answer yahoo questions related to your product or site
and leave your website link with a call to action.

This also builds back links to your website.

[Rob D]

Here's one for you Nick:

Start a thread in a popular money making forum. Put your own name in the thread and a $ amount. Many people search for '$' in money making forums. They see the $ and ask who is (insert name here)?

[NickMarks]

Congrats p1a1u1l1 you just won $50!
for post 70

[Paul M]

Submit free reports to download sites with your
website or affiliate links included.

Also allow give-away and resale rights to help your
report spread virally.

Always make sure you create quality reports
so people will want to pass it along to there
subscibers, friends etc.

[zephyrwriting]

One last idea before I go to bed and deprive you all of my obviously under-appreciated humor.

Carve Your Website URL on the Moon

The Theory: Everyone who ever looks at the moon through a telescope will see your URL staring right back at them.

What You Need: 1x High powered laser, 1x Hideout where no one can find you to arrest you, 1x Good disguise to go out and buy supplies every so often.

How Hard Is It: Again, practically impossible.

Advantages: Well, it's on the moon... and hey, there's no such thing as bad press, right?

Okay okay, I'm done.

-Vish.

[Steven Wagenheim]

Not that it's any of my business, but this thread has become a joke.

You have members make 3 and 4 posts in a row with nothing more than a
line or two just trying to score and easy 50 bucks. Nothing really useful in
those posts.

Nick, I could have thought of much better things you could have done with
your money.

But like I said, ain't none of my business.

** EDIT ** I made sure I made this post during a time when I wouldn't end up in the "lucky"
spot...Not the way I want to make $50.

[Jose Delgado]

Just got $50 from Nick.

Thanks Nick.

[Ross Dalangin]

Create a viral report and submit it to forums, free downloads, torrent sites, friends and even enemies

[Michael Lee]

Set up your own affiliate program.

Nothing beats the power of leverage. Even if you get just one super affiliate with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, you're going to get enormous amounts of traffic.

Tips to Increase Ranking and Website Traffic

It is worth cataloguing the basic principles to be enforced to increase website traffic and search engine rankings.

• Create a site with valuable content, products or services.
• Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25 words in your page content and spread them evenly throughout the document.
• Research and use the right keywords/phrases to attract your target customers.
• Use your keywords in the right fields and references within your web page. Like Title, META tags, Headers, etc.
• Keep your site design simple so that your customers can navigate easily between web pages, find what they want and buy products and services.
• Submit your web pages i.e. every web page and not just the home page, to the most popular search engines and directory services. Hire someone to do so, if required. Be sure this is a manual submission. Do not engage an automated submission service.

[VinceNouvel]

Mmm..
Another Traffic Tips from me.. Hire some ppl on digital point or anywhere else for only 0.10/post to post on some niche forum related to your niche.. Make sure you give them hints before giving them the job.. Give them the job that suits their interest + you want to tell them that low quality post wont count.
Ask them to put your site on their signature ( You want to create the accout yourself and create and eye catchy signature yourself as well)

I get hell lot of traffic only by using this method..

or you can apply the same method for blog commenting

or create a thread like this to get a lot of exposure and buzz in the forum..

**and Hopefully ppl are paying attention to your signature

[Michael Lee]

Ezine advertising.

Pay for advertising on ezines related to your field. Test the results of different ads in various ezines. A good strategy is to collect subscribers using a squeeze page instead of a sales page, then set up an OTO after they subscribed.

[Rob D]

The WSO section can also be a great way of getting traffic. I haven't done this one myself, but I've seen it done brilliantly a few times by a few warriors.

Create a product that would sell for $47 or more. Pay your $20 bucks and then give it away to build your list. The best example I saw of this was a product that went through the wealth creation process, you signed up for the list to get it and then the autoresponder sequence just offered more and more upsells. Starting at resell rights for the report(including affiliate links and trackbacks to the signup page for MORE traffic) through to personal coaching at several thousand dollars.

[Tom Scott]

Traffic generation is nothing magical - mostly hard work.

The best tip I can offer is do your keyword research and find the right words. If your keywords are good you'll get traffic.

Then you either go free or paid. Free you would link articles and blogs to your page and then socially bookmark everything. Paid you look at PPC and advertising on niche sites.

Nothing groundbreaking, but as I said, it doesn't need to be.

[Ross Dalangin]

• Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and accordingly modify your web pages so your search engine ranking remains high. Use online tools and utilities to keep track of how your website is doing.
• Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content, keywords, etc.
• Use reports and logs from your web hosting company to see where your traffic is coming from. Analyze your visitor location and their incoming sources whether search engines or links from other sites and the keywords they used to find you.
• Make your customer visit easy and give them plenty of ways to remember you in the form of newsletters, free reports, reduction coupons etc.
• Demonstrate your industry and product or service expertise by writing and submitting articles for your website or for article banks so you are perceived as an expert in your field.
• When selling products online, use simple payment and shipment methods to make your customer’s experience fast and easy.
• When not sure, hire professionals. Though it may seem costly, but it is a lot less expensive than spending your money on a website which no one visits.
• Don’t look at your website as a static brochure. Treat it as a dynamic, ever-changing sales tool and location, just like your real store to which your customers with the same seriousness.

And we have another winner.

Yeah, this just gets better and better.

** EDIT ** This post above was originally made in order to get a place holder at the desired
position and then after getting the position, replaced with what is there now.

If these marketers could be as creative with their businesses as they are in trying to score 50
bucks, they might actually have some success.

[VinceNouvel]

Just fix mine Steve :P
I copy pasted it but just somehow I only copied part of it
I am posting when it was only #76 and suddenly its on the 80 lol

[guillopuyol]

Tweeter!

Add friends to your tweeter account and usually they will follow you back.

Tweet about interesting things and every so often tweet about your site...

That should get you some traffic.

[Tom Scott]

One of the best ways of getting traffic is actually KEEPING the traffic you do get. You can set up an autoresponder easily. Go to a free ebook site and look for a 50-tips or 400 tips or whatever title in your niche. Each of those tips is the basis for a new autoresponder post for you.

Now you not only have traffic coming into your site - but traffic coming BACK to your site.

[Michael Lee]

Viral Marketing.



Write short reports related to your affiliate products and give them out for free. Give them to your subscribers for free, and send them to other product owners to use as bonuses. Remember to include your affiliate links within the contents.


Make sure you give quality information in the report or people won't appreciate your affiliate recommendations in your report.


If you don't know how to create such reports, you can buy a private label right report and edit it to your satisfaction.

[John Rowe]

Targeting Longtail Keywords is the easiest
way to get top listings in the search engines
even without a single backlink.

Set up a free wordpress blogs and write
articles that target longtails only. Your pages
will get steady traffic from several top listings.

Longtails are four words or more to a phrase. Five
words or more are best for EASY top positions.

An affiliate marketer may have all the things needed for him to be able to succeed in a business such as affiliate marketing. He may have the necessary drive, diligence and perseverance to be able to understand how the system works. He may have all the tools necessary in maintaining the business, including a really unique and interesting website which could earn him a fortune if only the whole world could see it. However, all these would prove useless if he does not know how to drive traffic to his website. His business would sink into oblivion together with all the sales, fortune and dreams that he might have realized if he only knew how to do this particular task.

Getting people who matter to see one’s website is a difficult undertaking if he tries to consider the fact that there are rivals everywhere waiting to pin him down. The immensity of the internet as well as the affiliate marketing world has given birth to the fierce competition between affiliate marketers, each of whom has his own great product to offer. With all the websites piling on top of each other, how would one be able to stand out? The seven best ways to drive laser-targeted traffic to one’s own website would help those who are bent on sticking it out with this business wherever it is bound to take them.

The first step in driving traffic to one’s website is by relying on search engines and what they can do for the affiliate marketer concerned. Because they are popular for driving free targeted traffic, they should not be ignored by all means. Having top search engine rankings is vital in building popularity links, and the use of the right keywords is important in attaining this goal. Once a website is on top of the list, it is easily accessible to anyone who wants to see it for himself.

The second way in driving traffic to one’s website is by contacting other webmasters for a possible link exchange partnership. Locating websites that are related to one’s own website is the primary task. Once there, he should be able to establish communication by personalizing everything as much as possible. It is then possible to make reciprocal link exchanges between webmasters whichever way the affiliate marketer prefers.

The third way is through writing one’s own articles. This is an effective way in promoting a website, because good content that are appreciated by readers will lead them to visit the writer’s very own website out of sheer interest.

The fourth way is through joint venture marketing. This is one of the most effective ways of promoting a product or a service. Having a partner through ad swap or link exchange is beneficial to both parties as it allows them to reach a wide customer base in a short amount of time.

The fifth is through joining affiliate programs. Having affiliates to do the work means allowing them to bring tons of traffic to a website. Skyrocketing sales would be realized as a result, and both the affiliate and the website owner will benefit from the situation.

The sixth is by having a list of subscribers that one can refer to every so often, because they are those which would prove to be valuable assets for the marketer concerned. The use of autoresponders and personalized newsletters is one way of keeping track of them all, and holding on to them by letting them know about new products and services is an essential task that should be done by the affiliate marketer concerned.

The seventh is by knowing one’s market through and through. It is important for traffic to be targeted to those who might have a special interest in the theme or topic of one’s website. This way, a solid customer base is going to be created. Once a potential customer shows an interest in a particular website by paying it a visit, one must not waste time in trying to show him that his effort is worth it.

Traffic generating strategies are important in trying to make one’s affiliate marketing career inch forward. It is always advantageous to plan one’s moves in any business that he might undertake. This is particularly so in affiliate marketing. If one knows how to get people to see what he has to offer, then he is on the right track.

Well, like I said, it's Nick's money and he can do what he wants with it.

Oh, here's a tip. Run an affiliate contest for your list. Offer $500 for the
affiliate who makes the most sales for you.
