I make around $7,500 / month from PPV & POF paid advertising.

$3,000 / month from subscription and service blogs with free advertising. All from industry blogs and some forums.

$2,000 / month from consulting service for non-IM related companies. All word of mouth.

Definitely varies month to month a lot, but that is what's working for me.

Nearly anything can work if you put the time in, but just make sure you focus on sources with volume.

I can give you some tips about off page SEO, this works like magic for new site that barely have any network asset. You can try building back link TO you site, and the longer your web is on the internet, people will create back link FROM your site.
1. use SEOquake to quickly find the page rank of a RELEVANT site, I strongly recommend to make back link to a site that related with your web, for example when you are in weight loss niche then you should make back link in running site, yoga, health food, muscle exercise site, etc
2. make a unique comment, don't use lame copy ad or people will get away from your link, also put your link in above, not in the low part

good luck creating back link!

I like SEO and doing blog hopping and leaving comments on related blogs.

Twitter and Youtube working really well for me at the mo... All free passive traffic too.

[smodha]

Tumblr.com is working like a dream for me.

So much untapped, free traffic.

[neilrock]

Well, to be honest, I doubt that anyone would give up their own best method as, the aim with the internet is for people to see what you have to offer, not what anyone else has to offer but, as we all seem to be in the mood for sharing, I reckon that a combination of all of the above works and, it works really well... Some will for some people, some won't.... I live by the 80/20 rule, 80% of your traffic will come from 20% of your activity and 20% of your traffic will come from 80% of your activity... You just need to weed out what really works for you....

haha the internet

[eljeffe77]

Honestly, for me - nothing works better than youtube and fanpage traffic.

It's easy to build up HUGE trust on both with users, get them into your list - then hit them 3 times without seeming spammy.

The same people see my offers in their inbox, on FB and on Youtube - works out quite well

[MKCookins]

Facebook, and forums are my two favorite methods. Many people underestimate the power of traffic coming from forums - but if you leave valued post - you will get highly targeted visitors to your site.

[John_3771]

Paid traffic is definitely the quickest way to start seeing results, for the most part. I think it depends what niche market you're in and what you're promoting...an affiliate offer, a sales page, a blog, a squeeze page etc.

I agreed for niche. I just a PPC programs and almost immediately have more success immediately.

[Randall Magwood]

Blog marketing definitely. I get alot of results with it - despite being in a tough niche. All depends on your marketing strategy.

yeah, you have to bring something to the table doesn't exist in terms of value for the niche. Don't have to be anything major, but a little creativity goes a long way.

[paul nicholls]

I would say my best traffic method is my IM blog

Not only does my blog generate lots of traffic but i also build other traffic sources
and send that traffic to my blog too

It's not something that you can build up overnight it's more of a long term strategy but it's certainly worth it in the end :-)

Thought as much..

[prettysavvy]

Onpage SEO and guest blogging (Tumblr seems to bring lots of traffic too). I also network with my blogging buddies.

Is it possible to send messages to your facebook page fans?

[Malcolm Thomas]

SEO and Social Media Marketing is my best 2 traffic sources.

[Olu Joseph]

email marketing

No, not unless you are personally friends with them.

[colinph970]

both email marketing and ppc work for me

[johntan17]

Youtube works the best for me. It is not that hard to have a first page Google ranking for youtube videos. Next is social media traffic, especially Pinterest. I also do a bit of SEO for low competition keywords for Amazon products.

[bacardi]

Best traffic technique for me personally is just writing content on my site, however doing special things to the ones where traffic is flowing the most.

[zimzalabim]

Building opt-in lists through occasional ad swaps/reciprocal mailings with other list owners.

[techie86]

Forums is the my favorite method. You can generate good number of quality traffic through forum sites by posting valued post.

[gonzotrucker]

For me it's posting a new article every day.

[TheViralMarketingSystem]

Hey man,


Marketing techniques vary, and none are one-size fits all.

It really depends upon what type of product/service you are offering.

I have closed 7 major players including giants from the automobile industry, to direct competitors of vodafone, and those clients I got by walking straight into their doors with a hell of a pitch and enthusiasm.

Have had hundreds of video clients for doodle videos which I got simply from networking.

Have sold hundreds of web design, FB marketing packages by JVing with other big players via their websites and offering them affiliate comissions.

And well... as you see it all depends on who your target audience is, how expensive the product is, and many other factors.

If you would like a free of charge 30 - min consultation. PM me for my skype info.

[martimoney]

Solo ads and media buys.

[ymest]

Well, despite the many moaners you find everywhere about this particular traffic source, I have always found Ezinearticles to be quite good. I also rely on blog and forum commenting quite a lot. It's quite worth the effort of getting out there and branding yourself this way.

I never EVER pay attention to backlinks or what they're worth! I trust my instinct, and it works fine! If I see no results after a while -- it was the case with Yahoo answers-- then, I choose something else.

Hope this helps

solid free traffic!

[Raimundas M]

For IM niche - solo ads.

For other niche sites - SEO, social, Youtube.

[wakey7]

Facebook apps work for me. I make viral Facebook apps like quizzes/games/iframes. For example, when someone votes between two winners of a sports match, they are redirected to a page of my choice (usually a relevant offer or squeeze) and a message is posted to their wall so all their friends see. Very viral and relative. Also very compliant with Facebooks T&Cs.

[Cyber Star]

It depend on your niche, but social network works best for me, especially tumblr. Tumblr can boost a targeted traffic because of its tag system from each post. Tumblr user is a people who appreciate good image and they love to share it with their follower, that is the point of using tumblr, discover a good image, then share it to your follower. Imagine yourself working on a specific niche that depend on an image, such as design and art niche, then tumblr will work the best for you.
Here is some tips to gets quality traffic from tumblr.
1. Tags your post properly, the more detailed the better
2. Follow the big guys, so you can post a good picture to your fan
3. Only post good image, and don't post your product excessively

[ayu2013]

if you mean BEST, i will say Solo ads, but usually BEST=MOST EXPENSIVE. think about it.

[KrisN]

Content marketing all the way. Guest posting and blogging brings in a ton of traffic and really warm traffic.

[Jeffery]

Affiliate Traffic. Affiliates will send you all the traffic you want (and some you may not want) as long as they are making money.

The marketing strategy is "Why pay for traffic yourself when affiliates will pay for it - for you."

Jeffery 100% :-)

I agree, but also depends on how your define "best."

[Mark-Dickenson]

Product name Youtube videos...works awesome

And you don't need a lot of traffic to make good money because the traffic is laser targeted

I had one product I promoted that had an EPC of $17 and that 1 video basically covered the cost of living in downtown Seattle

Just my 2 cents

-Mark

[jamescanz]

Solo ads and or ad swaps ... easily

[ExpertSEOServices]

I use a mix of the following:

Social media - VERY powerful and targeted
Social Bookmarking
Forums - Also very targeted and effective if done correctly and easily outsourced.
SEO
Blog Comments

Hope this helps

[Austin Schmidt]

I like YouTube marketing and creating a massive network of places to direct traffic(all of them search engine optimized).

[Eric Marketing Firm]

I truly feel that the best traffic building technique nowadays is Social Bookmarking & Networking. If it is done in a proper way you can get instant traffic from it.

Forums are a great way to draw the traffic to your site. Putting signature links in the posts can boost your keywords, but, the forums you are participating should be dofollow forums or it is of no use.

haha, so funny!

There are like 34, 687 ways to get traffic, yes! I counted them all.

Anyway for our businesses, its forums, PPC, press releases and videos.

Once you realise when you build it THEY WILL NOT come to you, but you have go to the most likely place where you clients / prospects hang out and put your messages infront of them there.

Media buys is also another good way to do this.

Hope this helps.

[fcebri24]

I would have to say almighty Youtube! Give it a shot and you will see interesting results.

[clever7]

I thought that in the internet everyone is in a different country and that the word of mouth factor was only a myth, but to my surprise I saw it working into practice. Everyone has a relative or friend who will learn about the benefits the first user found with your products/services. And everyone has many online friends. It doesn’t matter from which part of the globe they are. Messages from online friends indicating something they found and they liked are wonderful ways to get traffic. If you can find a way to be indicated, this is a good method.


Another free traffic generating method that is working for me is the promotion of my Squidoo lenses. I stopped creating lenses and now I’m caring about driving more traffic to each lens and finding various ways to do so. I’m improving my lenses, and this is helping them become more attractive. I added more pictures, more links, I changed a few colors, etc. You have to keep updating your lenses if you want to get traffic from them and you need a pinging tool. I’m driving this traffic to my websites. It works, but the updates are time consuming. Nothing is perfect.

[alishapinto]

I think is and will always be the largest driver of traffic. Even if one uses paid ads, search may still trump it.
