Traffic is really nutrition for your business.Without the influx of people coming to your site, seeing your product or service, you really don’t stand much of a chance to make any money.
What are the Basic Food Groups, then?
1. Natural (Organic) traffic.
This comes from the search engines. Plain and simple, if you rank high in the search engines, you get more traffic from people who were searching for the keywords you ranked highly from.
2. Paid Traffic.
Paid traffic can be highly targeted or total trash, depending on the source. If you are doing Pay Per Click correctly, you will get amazing results and make back any money you invest in getting that traffic.
3. JV Traffic.
If you are able to get affiliates or JV partners for your products, you will get a lot of quality traffic to your site. Often, JV traffic is higher quality than any other source, because your visitor has just been recommended your product, and they are interested, or they would not have clicked on the link.
Of the three Food Groups, you should always be trying to get some from each group. Your traffic plan should be a balanced diet of Natural Traffic, JV Traffic and a sprinkling of quality Paid Traffic to give it some flavor. The two most important are JV Traffic and and Natural, because with those, your visitors are going to be happy to see your product, because they went there because they were either searching for it, or they were recommended to go to your site.
Ross Goldberg has assembled a quality traffic guide (no, a guide is too soft of a word for it, this is more of a manifesto, ok, it is a Traffic Manifesto) that will expose all of the best ways to generate traffic Naturally by just setting up your site properly and doing the right things externally. One of the side effects of great Natural Traffic is that you often get requests to partner from other marketers once they see your successes, which increases your JV Traffic.
You Have Until 8PM EST Tonight!
Ross is raising the price of his Traffic Manifesto tonight (October 3, 2007) at 8PM EST, so you will want to make your way to his site before that time if you like to save money. (If you don’t like to save money, have a cup of coffee or two and wait until 10PM to get it – you will still get amazing information on making your website attractive to the Search Engines, but you won’t have to worry about that saving money part).
What About Food Group 2 – Paid Traffic?
PPC Classroom has just gone in session and now that the affiliate contest is over, the hype will die down a little (and people will stop over promoting it). I would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t tell you that if you are a newcomer to PPC (pay per click traffic), you had better get trained by experts. With PPC, you can easily blow a few hundred dol lars in a day and not see any results (or results that don’t even come close to paying your balance).
Anik Singal and Jeremy Palmer (Jeremy made $1.4 million in affiliate sales last year using PPC) have done the impossible by making PPC Classroom a place to bring people at all levels of Internet Marketing to the point where they can turn a profit with PPC.
I had been afraid of losing my shirt on PPC after spending almost $200 on ads to a few sites where I made $80 in Adsense Revenue that Google kept once they closed my account. Of course I learned that Adsense is the silliest way to make money online (for me – you may think it is the best for you) and that affiliate marketing is the best way for me to leverage my income. But I still had trepidations about using PPC.
Anik and Jeremy are experts at PPC and at first I thought it would all be over my head, and that they just had the magic touch, and I could never do what they accomplished myself. I am starting to see that I was way too scared for nothing. Jeremy really brings the information to a level I can understand, and I can see results already. I recommend PPC Classroom for anyone wanting to get quality PAID Traffic to their affiliate links and their own products.
JV Traffic Is The Bomb – But How?
The best place to get JV traffic is to frequent the places that marketers go. I have a little bit of a bias there, because I have been involved in this for almost a year and my business has exploded ever since I started getting JV Traffic. First, if you have an advertising budget, spend a little getting to know other JV partners by promoting their products (and making you and them a little money). Two sites you really need to become a part of are jvAlert and JV-network.
jvAlert is the site put on by Ken McArthur and Sid Hale. The monthly investment guarantees you get only top notch marketers and product owners and not people who only want to get free products and site memberships. Heck, for that reason alone, the monthly investment for jvAlert is worth it.
Mike Filsaime created JV-network with a similar idea,to get marketers and promoters together. The difference is that JV-network is free to join, but to place an offer to the members costs you. I really encourage you, if you are planning on offering a JV Product in the future, to take advantage of the One Time Offer, because it will save you a LOT of money of future promotions.
But the place to really get your JV relationships set up and cemented is to attend a live event like jvAlert Live in Long Beach this October 19 – 21.And Ross Goldberg is hosting a Workshop at the same hotel as jvAlert Live on October 18 and he is now including a ticket to jvAlert Live with a purchase of his workshop. Just go to http://doubleyourincomenow.com/ to get the details on this workshop. I guarantee your traffic will never be as low as it is now if you attend this course (unless you slack off after taking the course).
Have an amazing day!
