Other Methods to Get Traffic to Your Website

Besides writing articles and press releases, there other methods you can use to get traffic to your website. Consider the well-known online marketing strategy of linking. There are actually two common linking methods that are quite popular for getting web traffic. One is deep linking and the other reciprocal linking.

Let’s first take a look at deep linking. If you haven’t heard of the term deep linking it simply means linking throughout your website. You’re basically building a link that links from one page of your website to another. However, you’re not linking from the main home page to another page on your site, but rather you are linking from within your site to your websites main home page.

Here’s an example to make you understand this strategy completely:

So, let’s just say you have a site called www.yourdomain.com. Your inner page www.yourdomain.com/branding.html which in this case is also known as your sub-page… this would link to your main page www.yourdomain.com. So, you can actually link within your website back to your main page. This will help pull your website to the top of the search engines and gain more traffic!

You can use your sub-pages to let the search engines track you back to your main page. The search engines like this strategy and it really does work! This is an essential linking strategy all website owners should use to pull in more search engine traffic. Make sure that your sites linking structure does this as it has been known to rank websites much higher for their search terms. And you know what that means… Better search, more traffic, more money!

Another well-know strategy is trading reciprocal links. This is another great source of traffic. Although trading links with other websites can play a huge role in getting your site more traffic, it can also be a risky endeavour. Here’s why…
You have to be extremely careful about who you’re linking your website with. If the person whose website you are linking to is part of a link farm you will be penalized by the search engines. You want to be really careful about this because Google does pick up on these kinds of things. But trading links with regular website owners who are ethical in how they link their site to other sites is always a good way to make trading links work for you.

The one disclaimer I’d like to make is to always make sure that the individuals that you are trading links with does fit inside your niche. If you’re niche’s are unrelated it really doesn’t matter how many times you trade links. The search engines recognize bad link partners. No relationship means no traffic… A common relationship in terms of niche means good search – as long as your links are traded ethically. Remember, link farms are a killer for websites. Research your link partners and these tips should allow you to start reaping the rewards of your hard work!

Joint Venture Deals – Compromise is Key

Joint Venture deals are a great way to build your business to exponential levels that can sometimes be unimaginable in the beginning. However, by establishing partnerships with companies in a complementary business it’s an excellent way to grow and leverage your business.

So, why is it that so many online businesses are now jumping on the joint venture bandwagon? Well, it can make both parties a lot of money!

Most joint venture (JV) partnerships are usually limited to a certain project which allows both parties to share in revenues, expenses and management of the venture. The JV partnership can either be for one specific project or a continuing business relationship that draws in revenues and profits for both individuals. Although JV’s sound like a good deal you have to ensure you have trust between you and your new partner. Regardless of how big or how small the deal is you need a certain comfort level to establish a healthy and fruitful relationship. It may be a short lived partnership or it could be longer depending sometimes upon the results and relationships you establish.

But what if you are entering into a JV deal that you’re not comfortable with? What do you do?

Well, I know a story of one online marketer who entered into a partnership with another website owner to sell their eBook. However, when given the link to promote this eBook it lead to a squeeze-page for that other website owners website. The joint venture partner was capturing the names of this other website owner’s visitors. However, the web owner promoting the book didn’t feel comfortable having this JV partner capturing the names of his list.

If you are uncomfortable doing anything make it completely clear with your JV partner. In this case, if he is not willing to change your link to a direct link to the product then perhaps you shouldn’t be doing business with him. Although capturing the names of your JV partner’s web visitors is common practice in online marketing, if you’re not comfortable with it, let your partner know and he should be able to establish something that better suits you. Remember, this is your business and you have the right to choose how and what you do with it. If your JV partner wants to keep the squeeze page consider compromising by getting paid for the leads you’re sending him. You can also find out if those visitors will be tracked so that if he makes a sale you get credit. Do what feels right! Compromise and comfort are two of the most important things when building relationships that will grow your business and the business of your JV partner.

Building Your List and Meeting the Needs of Your Visitors

One of the only ways to build an online business is to build a list. After all, if you spend all of your money advertising to get customers or potential customers, why not try to capture those names so that you can make them offers on a continual basis. This saves you a ton of money in advertising but it also saves you a ton of time re-doing what you’ve already done. Why market to random individuals who will buy and never come back to your website when you can have your own list that you can market to again and again. As they say, it’s all in the list!

Well, if you have a list that you have grown for some time it is important to maintain your list and continue giving those visitors what they want.

If you have a decent list that you are selling to and offering information to it is important to offer those people exactly what it is they are looking for. You are the expert and need to address their concerns so that they continue to refer to you when they need expert advice in your particular niche. A great strategy to ensure you are offering your list the exact information or products they are looking for is simply by asking them. Send out a message to your list and ask them what their biggest problem is or what it is they are seeking. Combine all of your responses and review them. This ensures that you are giving your list exactly what it is they are seeking.

You may get some of the same responses and if so you know that a lot of your list seeks the same things. This is a huge opportunity to see what you need to offer them.

What do you do if some of your list wants one thing and the other half of your list wants another? Well, what you do is segment your list.

Never ignore your list. If half of your list is looking for one thing and the other half looking for another, continue to offer them the same tips and offers but you’ll need to segment your list. However, in order to segment your lists you simply make the offer to your main list and then have your readers choose if they want to act upon that particular offer. You’re basically creating sub-lists. These sub-lists are separate name-squeeze pages that will capture the names of those people from your main list that want to take you up on your particular offer – the offer you sent to your main list.

Don’t ever try to create several lists, autoresponders and businesses in the beginning, as you are re-inventing the wheel. Simply continue offering your main list the same thing and break up your list that way for easy manageability and to maintain your organization and peace of mind.

Joint Ventures and Affiliations

There seems to be much confusion over the differences between joint ventures and affiliations because they seem to serve the exact same purpose. In all actuality, they do! However, when you joint venture with someone, this is more based on your personal relationship with that person(s) versus becoming an affiliate where you really have no relationship with the organization you are representing.

So, is one better than the other? Not necessarily, but it can be more beneficial in certain situations to joint venture. One obvious reason would be if they don’t have an affiliate program set-up, you could work out a deal with them to sell their product or service for a set commission. In this case, you can usually ask for a higher commission because a lot of times you are the one that’s responsible for doing all of the promoting. I usually accept nothing under 50%.

Another reason is that sometimes companies prefer to deal with a small group of joint-venture partners. They believe that most affiliate programs produce little in the way of results with only a few affiliates generating a significant amount of sales. So, rather than wasting their precious time developing an affiliate program they focus their energies on building solid business relationships with partners they specifically choose.

By selecting their own partners it gives them two big advantages. First, it allows them to spend extra time with quality people whom they know will go out of their way to make sales. Secondly, by establishing these relationships they have more control over who is representing their company and products. They want people who will give good customer service and sell their products ethically. Affiliation does not give them these luxuries.

Article Submission – Do’s and Don’ts

Many people ask whether article submission is a viable solution to bring more traffic to a site. Well, the answer is yes, if some conditions are met.

If your articles are not filled with enough good content you are probably not going to get as much traffic as you had hoped for. So try to submit only good quality content because this will generate a lot more views through positive feedback from other readers. The more interesting and informative your articles are the more people will actually want to know more of what you have to say and click through to your website.

If your goal is to sell something then you really have to be careful that your articles do not sound too salesy. Keep your pitch to a minimum. Instead, offer unbiased information about why someone might need such a product or service. Talk about its features and benefits and then offer a link to your site to learn more. Remember, people do not like to be sold to and reject anything that sounds like a sales pitch. The more you can relate to your audience and make them feel as if they can trust you the better off you will be. So give them something of value and they will reward you with their loyalty.

Another thing you want to do is make sure that your articles are broken up enough. Try to write shorter paragraphs so that your articles are more legible and easy on the eyes. Many people find it harder to read from a monitor to begin with, so the more white space you have in your submission the more reader friendly it will be.
If your articles are being rejected by the publisher, don’t give up on them. Look at other submissions that were accepted and try to duplicate their style and format. This may mean rewriting the entire article, but it will help you for future submissions.

Something you may want to consider if you keep having problems or you just don’t feel like writing is finding someone else who knows how to write articles and have them write for you. A couple of places you may want to consider is Workaholics4hire.com or Elance.com. However, with Elance you have to be more careful and make sure you find someone that speaks proper English, otherwise you will spend a lot of time editing their work. This, of course defeats the purpose.
In all, if you follow these simple pointers when you write your articles it should be fairly easy to see the positive results of your efforts.

Can Buying PR Links and Press Releases Lead You to the Top of the Search Engines?

Purchasing PR links has become the norm all over the internet as businesses are desperate to expand their reach and gain more visitors. But before you decide to throw a bunch of cash into buying top spot PR links like PR1, PR2, PR3, it’s important for you to realize that these positions are highly competitive and quite pricey. However, although these spots seem like the logical choice you are better off purchasing PR links like PR5, PR 6’s and PR 7’s for greater visibility and away from the congestion of the top positions. These link positions will get you to the top much faster and you’ll have a stronger position in you niche due to the fact that you’re lower in PR but to the human eye a PR rank of 5, 6 or 7 has been tested to achieve better results than a rank of say PR4. PR rank is important but placement is a key factor!

So, for those of you who are looking to enter into a niche that is quite competitive, please don’t be discouraged. Remember, there are thousands upon thousands of sites in your niche that know nothing about SEO, rankings and traffic generation. Their lack of knowledge will give you a definite advantage! Many of these website owner’s sites aren’t totally optimized to combat or to win at the SEO game. They probably have no idea how to succeed online. You have the tools and everything you need to get to the top of the search engines. You have the knowledge to get a top ten ranking and you know how to get to the front page. Just use the techniques and strategies that I talked about and you should do quite well to make your site a success.

However, purchasing PR links is not the only way to rank well. You should also consider the strategy of using press releases to improve your rank as these can give your site credibility and help you jump to the top of the search engines because these press release sites rank extremely well.

If you decide to submit a press release do so on the top PR sites. I would highly recommend you using PRWeb Direct. PRWeb Direct costs about $250 to submit a press release. If you decide to use PRWeb Direct to submit your press release, just make sure you use keyword hyperlinks so that you can rank well for those keywords in your niche. If you don’t know how to do this PRWeb Direct has an area on their site where they explain how to do it. However, if you have no idea – no worries! For a few extra bucks you can get PRWeb Directs editors to help you to optimize your press release for the search engines! Now that’s what I call great service!
So, consider these tips if you want to be the top website in your niche!
