Secret To "Massive Traffic"?

Cool! I'll go check it out now! Thanks!

There are essentially only 2 ways to get traffic.

1. Pay for it.
2. Generate it over time via a number of tactics.

But regardless of what method you use, you're only going to get as much
traffic as their are people looking for that information. In other words, some
niches, there just isn't that much traffic to begin with...especially if it's a
relatively obscure niche.

So, the first thing you have to do is see how much demand there is. That's
done by using the keyword tool of your choice (I prefer Google's) and looking
at the number of monthly searches for all your relevant keywords.

The next step is to look at the top sites.

1. What is their PR?
2. How many backlinks?
3. How much are they spending on advertising?
4. How much traffic through organic search?
5. What is their layout like?
6. What keywords are they targeting?

Essentially, if you want to beat these sites out for the traffic they're
getting, you need to be better than them and do more than them.

If they're paying up the wazoo for PPC, then it's doubtful you're going
to beat them with free methods, but you can try.

If they're not paying for ads and getting it all via organic search, then you
simply need to have a better page, better PR, more backlinks, maybe
even target more keywords.

To get this traffic, you may or may not have to do all the following
depending on how tough the competition is.

Articles
Bookmarking
Networking (2.0 sites)
JVs

And so on.

Point is, there is no one answer to your question. There are too many
variables involved to say this is what you MUST do or this is how little
you can get AWAY with doing.

Some niches have so much money thrown at them, in order to stay on
top, that you'd be insane to try to compete with them.

So without knowing your niche, impossible to say if the traffic you are
currently getting is:

1. Good
2. Bad
3. Okay
4. Less than you should be getting
5. More than you should be getting

And so on.

50 visitors a day, for some niches, is gold...whereas for other niches, it's
a drop in the bucket and to think that you should be getting more than
that literally borders on the insane.

Bottom line:

The more you do, the more you will get out of it.

Hope this helps.

Some websites only require a little traffic, and others require a lot more. It really depends on what the purpose of your website is. Are you trying to sell something, or build a community? There are hundreds of different methods of generating traffic, but the key for me has always been generating focused traffic. Trying to aim for those people who are hyper focused on what kind of information I'm offering.

Take some time to ask what your trying to accomplish with this website.

Having a blog, and using social bookmarking to bookmark your posts every time you write a new one is a great way to get traffic,

another great way is by starting a newsletter for your site. The more new visitors you can convert into returning visitors, the better!

MASSIVE ACTION = MASSIVE TRAFFIC

Whether you use any tools or not, do proper planning or not, make corrections and adjustments, it all depends on how much work you put into it eventually.

The secret to massive traffic is no secret at all. You just have to make a site that people love. Get that right and you will find yourself spending far less time on SEO.

For massive traffic you are going to have to diversify your traffic methods or pay for it. If you are going the free route you can generate some insane levels of traffic by:

1. Getting a large email list and sending them to your articles/offers periodically

2. Target high traffic keywords and perform some serious backlinking campaigns to rank highly. If you look in google for **** berry you will notice articlesbase ranking and just look at the views....

3. Participating in social bookmarking sites and web 2.0 sites by commenting on other peoples content and participating in groups.

4. Get traffic in classified ads

5. Send out press releases

6. Participating in high traffic blogs and forums

7. Posting your content on authority sites to generate traffic

8. Use video sites to generate views

Sites that get high traffic already are authority sites. My favorite way is guest posting on relevant blogs that already get high traffic. but, you have to do it right.

It takes a lot of work, but it is well worth it, and much faster than bowing down to google and hoping they will rank you for a keyword. Although seo is important, dont rely on any one source for your traffic. if more than 20% of your traffic comes from one place, you are screwing yourself.

When it comes to knowing how easy it is to rank for keywords I use Traffic Travis
just search it in google, i use the free version and its more than useful personally pro version does have its benefits but free version is more than adequate

Hope that helps a bit when it comes to keyword selection

I usually use Google Keyword tool then cross check it in TT to see if its doable to rank for the term

Hi,

The content plays a huge part. Deciding what content you are going to include on your site, where you are going to put it and how you are going to deliver it are absolutely crucial.

My first thought. If you want to get massive traffic rent a Jenny Craig list.

LOLz...

Yeah, I heard the traffic in the weight loss niche is "massive"

I would say the best links that you can get are .edu and .gov back links. But, these can be difficult to find, or should I say ones that allow you to leave a link in your comments without deleting them. So I will show you a sneaky little trick to use, that will allow you to copy other people’s hard work and not worry about link building.

The first thing you need to do is find any website from another Internet Marketer. The
reason is that if they were successful at building .edu or .gov links then there is a very good chance you will be also at the same sites.
What we are doing is this technique is a reverse lookup on these sites, and finding all their successful .edu and .gov backlinks. In order to do this, you will be searching in Yahoo and entering this search string:

linkdomain:URL-HERE.com -site:URL-HERE.com inurl:.edu
Where I have put: “URL-HERE.com” is where you need to place the URL of the site you want to do a reverse lookup on. What you must first do is go to Yahoo and type in the search string I showed above, but obviously you would have to replace the “URL-HERE.com” part with the website you are doing the reverse lookup on.

But before you push search, you need to make sure that SEO quake is turned on( if you don't have it you can review a previous post of mine that showed you how to get SEO Quake firefox Addon). To do this just click the icon in the bottom right of your screen, once you have it installed. Once SEO Quake is on, then you can push search.

Once the results show up, you now need to click the down arrow next to ‘PR’ so that SEO Quake sorts the results from highest page rank to lowest.
Then you will see all the .edu sites that are linking to that site that you can immediately start building your link to. Now all you have to do is repeat the process for all the websites you want to do a reverse lookup on to find these powerful links linking to them.

All the best.
