Traffic question

by Johnm1141

Okay, so I have niche and a website that I have yet to build but get about 200 searches daily with 50,000 competing pages. I am trying to do email marketing but I am wondering if I should make a blog or a just a squeeze page for the front page of the site. The squeeze page is basically a optin, but since I have yet to actually start generate any traffic to this site as it is brand spanking new I do not know which path I should take. I will be creating a ezine article, hopefully everyday, to generate traffic on site but will the squeeze page stop me from ranking?

    i think a static squeeze page does not rank well in Google. if you want it to rank, you might need to add search engine optimized articles to other pages on the site, and then make the squeeze page to stand alone an another page

    You can rank squeeze pages. I have many on page 1.

    Why is it squeeze page OR blog?

    Create both. And create many squeeze pages.

    Squeeze pages are much easier to maintain. Pop up several squeeze pages and focus on generating targeted traffic to the pages.

    Whatever you write for the blog...spin them into several articles...post them on article submission sites...with links to your squeeze pages.

    You could start with the squeeze page until you get a better feel for this business. If you're new to Internet Marketing, you've probably heard before not to stress about the small stuff. Worrying about the type of site to build, what to put on the page, etc. will only slow you down. In the end Google values websites with GOOD content the highest. So throw some valuable content on the site, start building backlinks yourself or outsource them, update the site every week with some blog posts or pages that are relevant and going to serve a good purpose to your traffic, and you should be on your way. Once you are actually getting visitors, that's when you can start toying with the logistics of things and mess around with email opt in's, affiliate products, etc.

      How would I implement this? Would I make front page blog and create popups for a my squeeze page? I know you suppose to create content for both your website and for article website but to do this everyday is tiresome. Is it essential to create a 500 word article for both ezine and content of your website everyday? Thanks for the replys guys

        The squeeze page would go on the homepage, and you would rank your homepage for the keywords you have picked out. Place the blog under yoursite/blog or you could even just install Wordpress on the main site and have everything under Wordpress. You would just pick one of your Wordpress pages to be the static homepage. Then pick another page for the blog page, that would probably be the easiest and would be the approach I would take. The content you put on your site should be unique, well written, and have some type of way for you to make money off the visitors. Affiliate products, email opt in then sell something to your list, adsense, etc.

        Don't stress about the link building. Ezines is for building links, but Ezines has been devalued considerably. You need to diversify. Pay for a service that offers many different types of links. Bookmarks, Wiki's, Blog Networks, Article Directories, Etc. You need many different types of links, and writing unique content for just Ezines would be tiresome like you said. You can write one article, have it sentence and synonym spun, then use it for links across many different sites.

    Don't spin your unique content that you wrote for your website. That's a good way to de-value the content.

    Based on experience I suggest you to focus more on your content to drive more traffic from several sources. When you have enough content you've got something to share to various sites like social media networks and bookmarking sites
