What traffic converts the best?

I'm having great results with Traffic Vance, Adwords & Bing-Ads.. so in a nutshell - paid advertising works

Affiliate Traffic – Affiliates have been the #1 traffic source in our business hands-down. Imagine having 100′s of marketers driving traffic FOR you while you’re able to focus on higher leverage activities in your business.

Guest Blogging –Not only do you get a nice windfall of very targeted traffic but you also develop priceless relationships with the top people in your industry.eg. SmartPassiveIncome.com,NetProfitsToday.com, FamousBloggers.net and ProBlogger.net.

Solo Ads- With a solo ad, you’re sending a dedicated email to someone else's subscriber list. So it’s laser-targeted traffic and as long as you have your sales funnel setup correctly you should be good to go.

PPC: Paid Advertising – This is similar to solo ads but instead of advertising in other people’s newsletter you’ll be advertising on their website.. Try Google’s AdWords or Microsoft’s AdCenter, but you need big bucks to start.

Seo/Article Marketing- Some people might claim that article marketing is dead, however I sill drive tons of traffic with it… best of all it’s free!!

Ad Swaps- Once you’ve grown a list of 500-1,000 subscribers,you can then start leveraging that subscriber list to grow even faster. You do this by ad swapping with other list owners.

Forum Marketing- This is an ‘Old-School’ tactic that still works like gang busters! I’m always surprised how little people really take advantage of this.

What is ad swapping about? I've seen this but not sure how that works, how does one swap lists? Do they swap lists in the same niche to sell products that have not been marketed yet to that list?

How do you get affiliate traffic?

Yes, social media it really takes time to build. you can try facebook ads. you can base on the sex, age, interest, martial status, work place...to choose your target audience. so it's good for you to sell your amazon product.

By the way, you can buy $50 dollar ads coupon on Fiverr only $5. Try to test it, see how it works. The risk is low becasue it only costs $5 dollars.

Hope my answer is good for you.

Have a great day.

Cheers,

It depends on what you want to do with that traffic. For me, my best source of targeted traffic is Solo Ads.

As an Amazon affiliate, paid traffic is likely to be a money-losing venture for most niches. You're going to need to do a lot of SEO and build up a large amount of free traffic, probably across dozens of sites.

How did a single person yet fail to mention the word "targeted". It doesn't matter where they're from, how you obtained the visitor or what your website is about but targeted visitors convert the best.

It is all good ideas,however on my personal site most of them can't really help,I've a general niche,it will be hard to find forums to post on...
Affilate traffic is nice but a small website can really use it?

No one mentioned this source which now is becoming more prominent with all the panda and penguin updates: youtube. It is I believe the third largest search engine after google and facebook. I have been on youtube for a few years now and it converts better than any of my other traffic sources.

For saying social media not working, i will like to believe you are not going about it properly.

I implore you dig deep into any traffic source you want to do otherwise your might not be able to convert the traffic that come your way..

Direct traffic converts the best.

1. PPC (if done right)
2. Guest blogging (on relevant, high-traffic blogs. Oh, and if your article kicks a**)
3. Banner ads (not something that flashes a million times per second, use something that has a catchy title/phrase and keep it simple)

1. Social Media: you just have to learn the ins and outs of it
2. Guest blogging / and Joining forums
3. List Swaps

Don't agree with this actually Alexa. Of course I would mostly defer to your superior IM experience, said sincerely. If you start marketing off in the best way, with the most solid and tested information behind you, you'll be able to sell items in any niche! It's all about presenting the right products in front of the right sets of eyeballs in the most effective way. And I'm not convinced that IM beginners can't do this sooner rather than later!

You can throw as much traffic as you want a site but if you're not taking the time to properly split test your site for the best results possible I'm afraid you'll always have the same results. It will take testing with any traffic source you decide to use and what may work for some may not be the same for others. You have to always assume those who are profitable have taken the time out to get to that point.

Guesting posting can definitely get you the targeted traffic.

Sexy sue definitely nails it with her post...

Start a paid traffic campaign.

I suggest guest blogging as it is a valid way to grow your brand and name.

Alot of people are missing the point here.

There is no such thing. I have tested and tested and tested till blue in the face for my several niches, and different traffic tactics work better for different niches and the way you communicate and the way audiences interact with each other.

In the end, it comes down to massive traffic and tracking it like a hawk.

I think it might not only depend of your traffic source, but maybe change your sale funnel.
For me sale funnel is the most important aspect of a good conversion.

Have you check if there are video on YouTube related to your niche, and that got a good amount of traffic?

YouTube can be really powerful for reviewing product, because if you can rank your videos you will see an important increase of new targeted visitors to your site.

Be consistent in your traffic generating and good luck.

You can turn to pay per click ads if you have the funds, and throw in some solo ads for best results.

If you have the budget, then I would go for some solo ads...remember the most important thing is to build your list, try some free and paid advertising and see what works for you... but if you have funds then paid is the way to go.

Hope this helps

I have still to find a traffic provider that converts to sales

Traffic from EzineArticles still converts good. You gotta produce alot of articles for it though. Also, starting and promoting your own blog is a good idea. You will get good conversions from this too.

Solo ads is one of my best source, straight to the point direct subscribers and sales. Media Traffic from purchasing ads on related websites work GREAT too, more timely but once done properly, you can get a lot of targeted traffic. One of my campaigns cost $100 a month and over 500+ visitors a week to my squeeze page which has already paid for itself many times.
