Whats Everyones Favorite Traffic Generation Method And Why?

Facebook and video marketing.
Both of these ways can really show your personality and bring your prospects closer to your business.

Honestly, i found out good content is a great way of driving traffic to your site.

However, it needs some learning curve. I underestimated that and it cost me $0.00 for many years.

But once i understand it, started using my content on article directories, blogging, social bookmarking and pick the best out of them for SEO. This is something i just learnt last week.

Article Marketing - And Social Networking.

It depends on my goals. For things like Adsense and affiliate marketing, I like free search engine traffic (SEO). For building my email list, nothing beats article marketing.

And Lark is 100% right about video marketing. That traffic can be among the best there is for certain niches, like IM or MMO in general. It definitely helps to put a face/voice to your words. Goes a long way to building relationships and trust level with prospects.

Video marketing and SEO. There's no particular reason, I just don't use the other methods like article marketing.

Facebook Fanpages are really generating alot of traffic for me at the moment. If you have the budget, check flippa for Fanpages for sale on your niche, then start to build repour and lastly layon the advertising(CPA ect..)!

Article marketing and SEO because that is what I learned works for me.

Anything that i can automate or nearly fully automated!

Why? Who doesn't like automating their traffic generation.

The thing with free traffic is you have absolutely no control over where or when (or if) your ads show up. And you are at the mercy of Google and other search engines. And the worst thing is it's based on luck and not scalable like paid traffic. If it works you can't get more of it on demand.

When folks realize how much time and energy they waste trying to get free traffic, I think they'll open their eyes to the power of paid media, which is at least 3 time bigger than Google and inherently more trackable.

My favorite ones are:

Forum marketing
Article marketing
Seo
Web 2.0 websites

These work best for me. Only four of these drive tons of highly targeted traffic to my website. I also give services to people regarding these all and it is money making strategies.

hope this helps!

There are 3 methods that I like the most and pretty soon a 4th. I like ezine and credit based safelist solo ads, GetResponse Co-Reg leads, and gold memberships in listbuilders. These are my main 3 advertising methods that I tend to use consistently.

To keep leads constantly coming in to view my website lead pages I will use anywhere from 3 to 5 gold memberships in listbuilders such as list joe, viral url, etc. I take the one-time offer for the gold membership and after you pay that fee you are able to send your marketing messages to a new batch of subscribers several times a week with no charge. The lists are responsive and it allows you to keep brining new affiliates into your business each and every week without a recurring subscription!

The next thing I have to ensure that I always have eyes viewing my website is I like to buy the GetResponse co-registration leads for the Getresponse autoresponder. Since I use GetResponse for my autoresponder on one of my sites, all of the leads are uploaded into my sponder without the need for confirmation so my messages automatically go out to my prospects just as soon as they hit my autoresponder. I love this method because it keeps people taking a look at my site each and everyday all on autopilot and to top it off GetResponse has some fairly responsive Co-Reg leads.

Whenever I want to add an additional boost to my marketing I place solo ads in quality Ezines and Credit Based safeslists with a large subscriber base. I may choose to buy 3 or more ezine ads a month and that results in a brand new flow of leads that opt in to my autoresponder resulting in new leads and signups.

I am about to also add video marketing using Tube Mogul to distribute the videos I make as well as I am going to put my own video on my site. I like to do attraction marketing so video is definitely important to branding yourself as an expert to your subscriber list. I already have my name as my domain so adding video increase the self-branding factor that is key in attraction marketing.

These are my methods of choice. I know alot of people like article marketing and I see it to be effective but I have not gotten much into it yet at this point in time.

Well what I want and what I'm getting are two different things lol. I would like to have SE traffic first then ppc and so on. But right now it's pretty much article marketing and some you tube videos.

SEOHHHHH!!!

I do use Adword campaigns frequently when I really want to test out a market fast, but I also do a lot article submitting. Articles are the best!!

1) SEO! It's continuous and long-term.
2) SEO! It has focused keywords.
3) SEO! Off-page factors work!

Video Marketing without a doubt..Because it's definitely the one method who bonds the strongest with your prospect/viewer..

forum marketing gives very targeted clients and article marketing as once you have done and posted the article it is recurring.
