Hey guys... at the moment, 90% of my traffic is coming from search engines, mostly google of course.

I don't like the fact that google has so much power over my traffic.

So... what's the best alternatives?

My main sites are amazon affiliate sites.

I'm going to look into cpc... but any other recommendations?

cheers

    Okay, so let me say it loud and clear - ready?

    BUILD YOUR LIST

    You're already getting traffic - why not get the most out of it? When you have a list, you will be in power even if Google shuts shop ...

    Here's what you could do:
    • Add an email opt-in form to all of the pages of your site.
    • Giveaway a freebie related to the niche you're targeting.
    • Follow up with your prospects with great, value added content.
    • Give more value.
    • Promote relevant Amazon products along with this content (weave your recommendations IN the content - don't sell but pre-sell).
    • If you "drip feed" them good content regularly, your prospects won't mind you sending them any exclusive offers.
    • Help your prospects with the right offers and turn them into your loyal customers for life.
    • Always remember - the first sale is the toughest, the second on wards it gets easier.
    • Build a relationship with your list, make it yours. Treat it like gold.

    Hope that helps!

      100% agree with Mustafa

      Building your list eliminates any barrier or medium that you may have to communicate with your customers

      It is really important!

      If Google were to be a b*tch, at least you still have a way to communicate directly with your list

    Try other none search engine methods like blog/forum post within your niche, and article syndication. If you look around the forum, you will find others have spoken at length about article syndication.

    What is even more scary is that, Google is scheming on how to acquire Yahoo. Suprisingly, safelists (giveaways, especially work well) still gets good eyeballs.
