I would like to recommend that posts that contain information for newbies on how to drive traffic to their sites, traffic generation methods and how to star out as an affiliate or internet marketer should be stickied or made to remain permanently on the first page. This should stop newbies from making posts on how to drive traffic to their sites.

Thanks

NB: However, I am a newbie and I need information on how to drive traffic to my online biz. I have tried to search this forum for posts that answer my question but I have not found any yet. So please house help me out.

If you had an extremely specific question, perhaps you might not the an exact answer. You haven't yet posted a specific question, just some general "how do I get traffic?" questions. Those are answered about every 20 minutes in threads here in the main forum.

Thanks

Do this:

Click on "search" in the red toolbar above

Click on "advanced search"

Then enter the word "traffic" as the keyword in box on the left of that form

Click on "main internet marketing discussion" (or all forums)

and you'll find pages of threads about getting traffic

http://www.warriorforum.com/search.php?searchid=2441294

If every useful thread here was "stickied" we'd have to change the name to "WF sticky forum"

Traffic is easiest to find when thought of in terms of whom, not how. To whom are you speaking with your message and where are they going online.

Having said that here are all the methods I can possibly think of at the moment to find these people and divert them to your site.

Traffic:
organic SEO
Pay Per Click
Media buys
Joint Ventures
Affiliates
Email List
Article Marketing
Guest blogging
Free Software linked from Download sites
Social Sites - Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc.
Web 2.0 - squidoo, wetpaint,
Offline Advertising - billboards, tv, cars, business cards, seminars, joint ventures

Do even a few of those and you'll be a lot better off.

Lol What a substantial amount of links related to traffic. This is actually a great thread. I have always wondered what was the major questions newbies asked when it came to making money online and it is really not the links that people want it is the initial steps. Sometimes I think pushing them along is the biggest factor. Making money on your own can be a scary thing to do.

I am probably going to be laid off from a job after 10 years so far and have decided to really increase my income by stop thinking part time and thinking fulltime. Traffic-->Hungry Crowd--> Copywriting--> Attractive Offer>Testing> Testing> And so many different ways to make money.

I agree, The links in the post above are broken because something happened
when I made the post. The forum seems to have truncated part of the links.
It may be because I posted so many links at one time??? not sure???

I've been told the pdf file links work fine.

I'll post a new pdf version tomorrow including the new added links.

Hey Michael,

If you are going to post a new PDF with the links, try posting it as an attachment to the thread instead of posting all the links in one post.

This would be the better way as far as the SEs go, and for all the URLs to work.

Hey Michael,

If you're going to update your PDF keep in mind that some people are downloading the first PDF they come across as they read downward.

It would help to remove duplication (and create confusion) if you edited your original post and replaced the PDF there, rather than post it again.

Look at all this work you've created for yourself!

PS It would be good to have the PDF as a sticky, since it's all to do with Warrior Forum discussions on traffic gaining methods. Maybe a series of helpful stickies based on searches (traffic getting methods, building lists etc).

Just a thought

PPS I agree about the quoting post - prob not done intentionally but it's made this thread very long and hard(er) to read. Some editing wouldn't go amiss.

Hey Michael, thank you. That was was a bit of work to go put the list together.

To others here keep offline methods in mind too - classified in newspapers and magazines, and also direct mail and postcards. There have been some "guru" courses and a WSO or so about using postcards. Like it's some newfangled invention.

Postcards are as old as the hills, and still work. I was using them before the Internet to drive people to a free recorded message. (People don't want to call a live person because they are afraid of being given a sales pitch.) Just use them to drive people to a website.

Yeah, I know, how low tech!

This would be my guess: As long as none of the posts were from the War Room, I don't see why not. Anyone can read posts here in the Warrior Forum without even signing up for a free membership. You could even use it as a referral tool to get more members here. "See what's available in the Warrior Forum."

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't even think a link to a War Room thread would work unless you were signed in.

kaydee as you can already see, there is a lot of members who would be willing to help you out on how to succeed in this business.

However, I would suggest that instead of asking how do I drive traffic to my site, you should try to ask yourself some basic questions before. This would also make it easier for us to help you out.

I think that it is a good beginning to start of with asking yourself some "why" questions, so I am asking you this.

Why do you want to work with Internet Marketing ?

What do you expect to get out of this business ?

How much time and work are you willing to put into your business ?

How money are you willing to spend, what is your marketing budget ?

Which topics interests you ?

When you have answered these questions I will be much easier for us to help you. To get traffic to your site, you need to invest either time or money or at bit of both.

So let me know your answers and you will see a lot more specific help.

Thanks

There is a ton of information about getting all the traffic you need right from the warrior forum.

For me personally, I have found that it is best to create very high quality content that relates to your niche or site, then share or syndicate that around the web. As far as sharing this great content, focus on one method (such as You Tube videos, guest blogging,..ect) and practice doing it very well.

Hope this helps.
