NEVER buy another Internet Marketing product until you see this...

If you're anything like me, you've probably bought loads of Internet marketing products that promised the moon but barely got you a Snicker's Bar. Let's face it. People are in business to make money, and unfortunately, we're the ones they make the most off of... until now...

The long-needed resource has FINALLY been created--a user-contributed ratings and reviews website for Internet marketing businesses only. Now you can find out what other people *really* thought about a product they bought before you buy it too!

The site is called *Internet Biz Buzz*, and it allows you to get the "buzz" on a business BEFORE you buy from it...

http://www.InternetBizBuzz.com/?r=1004

Not only can you read other people's reviews, but you can leave your own. You can praise great products, and expose the crappy ones... You can even review businesses that haven't been added to the directory... It's GREAT!

Be smart, get the buzz BEFORE you buy.

Tips to Increase Ranking and Website Traffic

  • Create a site with valuable content, products or services.

  • Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25 words in your page content and spread them evenly throughout the document.

  • Research and use the right keywords/phrases to attract your target customers.

  • Use your keywords in the right fields and references within your web page. Like Title, META tags, Headers, etc.

  • Keep your site design simple so that your customers can navigate easily between web pages, find what they want and buy products and services.

  • Submit your web pages i.e. every web page and not just the home page, to the most popular search engines and directory services. Hire someone to do so, if required. Be sure this is a manual submission. Do not engage an automated submission service.

  • Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and accordingly modify your web pages so your search engine ranking remains high. Use online tools and utilities to keep track of how your website is doing.

  • Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content, keywords, etc.

  • Use reports and logs from your web hosting company to see where your traffic is coming from. Analyze your visitor location and their incoming sources whether search engines or links from other sites and the keywords they used to find you.

  • Make your customer visit easy and give them plenty of ways to remember you in the form of newsletters, free reports, reduction coupons etc.

  • Demonstrate your industry and product or service expertise by writing and submitting articles for your website or for article banks so you are perceived as an expert in your field.

  • When selling products online, use simple payment and shipment methods to make your customer’s experience fast and easy.

  • When not sure, hire professionals. Though it may seem costly, but it is a lot less expensive than spending your money on a website which no one visits.

  • Don’t look at your website as a static brochure. Treat it as a dynamic, ever-changing sales tool and location, just like your real store to which your customers with the same seriousness.

Build Your Targeted List with Niche Social Networks

If you are building a list in a niche market you should be a member of a social network in that same niche.

The trend in social networking is to build small niche sites instead of trying to be the next Myspace or Facebook. The idea of bringing a smaller group of people together with something in common lends itself to a more active site, as measured in percentage of regular users, than a broad interest site.

I have talked before about a targeted list is much better than a broad list. If you are marketing products related to your targeted list; your conversion rates and revenue will be much higher. Big business recognizes this, too.

With the increasing popularity of niche social networks, more and more businesses are targeting their ads to them. It just makes sense that a record company would target, and pay more, for an ad on a site like Mog, a network for music lovers, than on a place like Facebook. True there are millions of music lovers on Facebook, but submitting an ad to a targeted market will bring many more sales per impression than it would if running on Facebook.

Its like selling a product on safelists, a broad audience; compared with selling it to your niche-targeted list of names. Your sales will be much higher selling to your list than promoting it to the safelist membership. True, you may reach more people through the safelist, but most of them will not be interested in your product.

By becoming a member of a social network that targets the same group of people that your niche list does, makes sense. You create your profile and add friends, just as you do on any social network. Give these new friends a gift to join your list (you may even be able to add an opt-in form to your profile page) and watch your sign-ups increase.

Spend a few minutes every day on that site requesting new friends. The more people that you request; the more that will see your profile. If you have your free gift link on your profile, you will get sign-ups. The sign-ups from these sites will be highly targeted to your niche and add dollars to your online business for months and years to come.

Brand High Quality Viral Reports Free

When I saw "Free High Quality Reports", my first thought
was "Yeah, sure. Free AND High Quality!"

But I joined. Why not - it's free.

I joined with healthy skepticism. I am usually pretty critical
of the free content you find out there.

However, I soon found my skepticism melting away. In fact,
I was quite pleasantly surprised by what I found.

http://www.butterflyreports.com/axz/affiliate.php?id=2903

First, I have to say that this site is pretty ingenious when you
think about it. Branded, high quality reports you get to give
away - and make money from.

When I actually checkout out a few of the reports, I found
that they were much more than just "thrown together trash".
In fact, quite the opposite.

Along with the reports supplied by the staff writers of the
site, members can also contribute their own reports. As a
free member, you can contribute one of your original
reports every month.

After a while, once you have contributed a few reports, you
will see how viral this concept really is.

I've seen an increase in my traffic, as well as seen my own
credibility as an expert shoot through the roof.

My advice to you is simple. Join. Now. Why wouldn't you?

Introduction to Traffic Generation

Today, I want to discuss the various things that you need to check to ensure that your site is ready to receive traffic.

Think of this: If you were expecting company at your home, there are certain things you might do in advance. You would make sure your home was clean, that there was fresh soap and clean hand towels in the bathroom, and you might prepare some snacks, or even an entire meal.

Preparing your website follows the same concept. You want to make sure that things are neat and tidy. Make sure that your navigation follows a logical sequence. Make sure that you have plenty of good content, and that everything is spelled correctly.

You also want your visitors to be able to participate in your site – to take action. Look at each page, and determine what type of action your visitors can take. Do you have a forum or blog? Do you conduct polls or surveys? Do you have a subscribe box for your opt-in list on every page of your site? Make absolutely sure that your website is ready for company! Also make sure that your pages lead your visitors to take the action that you want them to take, no matter what that action may be.

That is the first and most essential step of traffic generation. If your site isn’t pleasing and welcoming, any traffic generation activities you do from this point on are wasted! Take the time, and put forth the effort to make your site as good as possible – and learn to look at it from your visitor’s point of view!

After you do this, make sure that you are using all of the best known Search Engine Optimization techniques, such as making sure that you have clean HTML code, that you’ve used your keyword effectively, that you have keyword rich text links and alt tags, and that the title of your website, in your HTML code, has your main keyword or phrase as well. Take some time to explore SEO techniques, so that you can draw natural search traffic as well.

Once your website is ready for company, you are ready to start inviting that company. You do not need any special tools for traffic generation. What you need is your computer, an Internet connection, your mind, a willingness to do the work, and knowledge. That’s all it takes.

Keep watching. There will be more traffic generation installments coming soon. Or, if you would like my full traffic generation eCourse for free you can click here to subscribe to the Hammer Traffic Letter. If you subscribe now you will also get my report on Traffic Exchange Secrets.

How to Generate Traffic Using Only Free Methods

How To Generate Traffic Using Only Free Methods


Putting up a company would of course require a lot of things, to get straight to the point, you need a capital. To make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or business in generating traffic.

While there are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent. Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods. Because it is possible, you don’t need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that a content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your on but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.
Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Getting the Word Out

You have created your own product that has been proven to have great demand, you have a salesletter that has a sky-high conversion rate, but all that would be futile and you will earn nothing if you don't have a single soul passing by your website since you will have no one to sell to! You might be a total beginner and therefore do not have a massive mailing list to sell to, and your website is on the 103th page of search engine results pages. We can change all that with a few tried-and-tested traffic generation techniques.

First and foremost, let me make it clear to you that search engine optimization is not the only way to gain massive amounts of traffic! You see, search engine result pages are in a sense just web pages – similar to regular websites around the web. It is only so lucrative to have your website listed on the top of search engine results because many people use the search engine to search for information and arrive on the search engine results page. Hence, loads of people see your site's link and you attract loads of traffic.

The effect would have been exactly the same if your website is mentioned in a website with very high traffic. For example, imagine what would happen if your website was mentioned on the front page of Yahoo's website! Your website will receive so much visitors your bandwidth might go over the limit. So, the trick is to get other high-traffic websites in your niche to link to your website. To do this, you must give them very strong reasons to link to you – maybe it's this very thought-provoking article you've posted on your site, maybe it's the ingenious solution to this lifelong problem everyone has had for all their lives. In short, give people amazing reasons or value to earn a link from them.

Alternatively, you may link to a certain high-traffic website that's related to yours and ask for a link back. This technique is called reciprocal linking and is a very common technique for gaining links. However, before you even ask for the link, check your own website and ask yourself if you would be proud to recommend such a site to your readers, and whether it will provide useful information to your readers. In short, make sure your website has its own value and not just an empty shell devised to attract traffic!

Using Traffic Exchanges to Build Your Downline

I am a member of over 50 Traffic Exchanges. Do I use them all on a regular basis? No. There are 10 to 15 that I use weekly. Then why belong to the other exchanges? To build downlines.

I usually will surf all of the exchanges that I belong to at least once a month. Those that I do not use very much only have my ads for the better exchanges that I use running on them. Why? To build downlines.

How does building downlines at traffic exchanges help my other businesses? Most traffic exchanges give you the ability to e-mail your downline once per week or more. If you can get your downline to opt-in for a proposal on one of your other businesses or to, say, a weekly newsletter from you; then you have opened up a large number of prospects.

What is the one thing that people who use the traffic exchanges look for? Ways to get more traffic. So it makes sense that building a downline through traffic exchanges is easier than trying to build one through your other businesses on the exchanges. Even on my more effective exchanges; 75% or better of my ads are focused on the other exchanges that I belong to.

Build that downline. Send opt-in e-mails to your people. Build your list and watch your other businesses grow.
