How to get more website traffic

When you are looking at building a website, the biggest thing you need - the lifeblood of your business - is website traffic.

How do you get it?

I am about to give you some big pointers here. (Follow this, and you can turn your business around!)

The options - free website traffic and paid website traffic - both have the pluses and minuses.

More than anything, you need to get targeted traffic.

Keep reading... I am about to show you how to get both.

First, what is targeted traffic?

Targeted traffic is people coming to your site who want to buy what you are selling.

For example, let's say you are selling car decals.

You would want to find people who want what you sell - it may be people who are into dressing up their cars with flames on the side of the car, it may be schools and groups that want their name seen on the windows of cars.

So where do you find them?

With this particular product, you could find a lot of people at car modification sites, and also can look at different community groups.

If you want to build your business, fast, your best bet is to buy targeted traffic.

It's not the ONLY way, just the fastest.

When you buy it, you want to go to advertisers that can place specific ads out there, in the sites of your potential buyers.

Internet advertising, more than anything, is going to make the difference in how fast your business grows... you NEED buyers!

I will slip in one little secret here as well - in case you don't know about it.

Have you ever wondered WHY you are always asked to enter your email address??

Most people feel that it is so they can get spammed with advertising - and a lot of people who use that method seem to feel the same way!

There is a valid reason to request that information, though.

By getting the email address, you can make sure those people remember you.

You can send them emails - NOT spam emails, but things that would interest the site visitor.

For myself, when people give me their email address, I do what I can of value - additional training on topics like this, for instance.

Don't underestimate the power of an email address - repeat visitors to your site are going to be more likely to buy from you!

So - no matter what your business is, make sure you get a capture page - this is the page that gets that email address.

EVERY person who has been highly successful, at ANY online business, uses a page to capture emails, and you should too.

Now - as for the methods of getting your website traffic, here are some specifics than can help you get that targeted traffic you nee...

For those who decide to buy website traffic

There are several ways to get traffic - here are two that are very effective.

1. Solo ads - this is an ad that is mailed out to lists that other people have. This can be VERY good to get prospects to your site, but make sure it IS targeted.

2. Banner ads - this places the images in front of your prospects. The banners - to be effective - should be placed on sites that your prospects would visit.

I will give you just one little tip here that can make a HUGE difference, even if you are buying the traffic.

Look for sites that do retargeting to your site.

What is retargeting?

Have you ever noticed that once you hit a site, it seems that you are constantly seeing ads for it, EVERYWHERE?

This is because of a pixel that has been placed on your site that catches that someone was interested in what you have.

It takes their web information and then makes a point to place those ads everywhere they go!

There are a couple of sites out there that specialize in it, so take advantage of it. Repeat visitors to your site are more likely to buy - and this makes sure they keep coming back.

For ANY paid traffic advertising, you should be using this one little tip and it can change the overall results to get your website traffic!

If you are looking for free website traffic, it is going to take a bit longer, but you CAN do it.

Free website traffic strategies

If you don't have a huge budget, but want to get the traffic to your site, you are going to have to take a bit longer and be more creative.

Those who buy website traffic tend to see very fast results, because they are getting the ads in front of a lot of people.

For those who are looking for free traffic, you need to work on your SEO, but that in itself isn't going to get you where you need to be.

Being creative, and getting out to the targets you want is the biggest thing you can do.

Three ways to do that are:

1. Post to forums related to your niche

2. Write articles that refer to your product

3. Share videos related to your product on youtube and similar sites.

Keep in mind - this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The point is, get your product in front of prospects!

Only when people know you are there are they going to buy from you!

A big point to consider here, as well...

Targeted traffic to a product that nobody wants is still not going to get you an income.

Maybe your business doesn't have the profit margin you want....

If you are selling something for $200 and only earning $5, you are going to find that your business is still going to starve. The amount of targeted website traffic you need, whether you get free website traffic or buy website traffic, is going to be HUGE.

The larger your profit per sale, the quicker you will be able to grow your business.

My point here - if you ARE struggling with the low profit products, find something better!
