webtrafficSince you started your website, you’ve probably noticed that there is a continual quest to get a high ranking in Google and the other search engines.

The reason why a high ranking is so sought after is the resultant traffic that accompanies being listed at the top of Google’s results lists. Google is the biggest referral source on the planet. It can send you more referrals than any human being can. It’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and whenever a person has a question, his first step will usually be to “Google” it to find the answer.

If you can get your website to be #1 in the rankings when people search for topics related to your niche, then your website can get around 8.5 times more search engine referrals than the website in the #5 spot.

That’s a substantial difference – you can see why website owners are panting after the #1 spot!

A website owner presented an interesting question to me the other day. He had been doing article submissions consistently for a while. His website was ranked very high for his keyword terms, but yet he still wasn’t receiving the massive amount of traffic that he was expecting. He wondered what was wrong. Why did the high ranking not result in a ton of traffic?

Let’s think about this for a minute. Each phrase that a person types into Google (or any other search engine) is called a “search term.” From the website owner’s perspective, it’s called a “keyword term.”

If you have a lot of people searching for a particular term, then the keyword is in high demand. If you can rank highly for that term, then you can see a huge traffic increase. That is a keyword phrase with a big potential payoff.

If, on the other hand, there are not that many people searching for that phrase, then even if you rank high for that term, you won’t see a dramatic impact on your website’s traffic. You can be ranked high, even #1, for a keyword phrase, but it won’t necessarily translate into a traffic breakthrough because the demand for that phrase is not very high.

What does this mean for you as you’re starting to use article marketing to market your website?

You need to do keyword research. Look at the demand that a particular phrase has (how many people are searching for that term each month) and compare it to the supply – the supply is the number of websites that are competing for that term.

Ideally, you would be looking for a keyword term that has high demand and relatively low supply – that would mean that with a little effort, you could rise to the top of the rankings for that term, and you would see a dramatic change in the number of website visitors you receive.

If you’re in a competitive niche that already has lots of competition, this might not be an option for you. You might have to work harder to get to the top of the rankings for your keyword terms. That’s okay, as long as the demand for the term is still high. When you rise up in the rankings, you will see your traffic grow too.

You could also choose to target a keyphrase that had a lower demand (fewer people searching for it), but also low competition. You could have a relatively easy time getting to the top of the rankings for that term. One thing to keep in mind though is that the benefit will be in proportion to the popularity of the term. If there are not that many people searching for the term, then being ranked #1 can only get you as much traffic as there are searchers for that term.

I hope this explains why you can have a high search engine ranking and not see a big boost in traffic. The traffic you receive is dependent on how “in demand” that term is – how many people are searching for it. Do your keyword research on the front end of your article marketing campaign, and you can decide which keywords are worth your effort to pursue.

webtrafficNow that you have your website is up and running and the debate about web page design, shopping carts as well as charge card processors,every website owner eventually comes to the astonishing realization, they need one more thing to survive – web site traffic! Without site traffic it’s just like creating a pricey billboard and, rather than putting it alongside a lively road, you conceal it in your basement where no person is able to see it.

On recognizing they need site visitors, most website owners run out and begin wasting huge amounts of time and money trying to get “hits” for their web pages, but they are not aware that all “visitors” aren’t created equal.

Throughout their pursuit to get visitors to their sites, nearly all online business owners don’t understand there is a huge difference between driving “standard” site visitors to your web page and driving “targeted” website traffic. Simply getting just about any traffic is the same method Television advertisers work with. They display ads on the screen before people who may or may not really want the product. While they will get product sales, they are going to close more deals together with targeted advertising.

Since normal marketing can’t reach certain target areas, they hit anyone and expect that someone within their target audience is in fact viewing at that time. Banner ads, “email safe-lists” and similar website traffic methods fall into this particular “general” group. Even though all sorts of advertising are generally profitable, and you can acquire a good deal of sales together with banner ad campaigns as well as safe-lists, you will obtain many more product sales once the traffic is extremely targeted.

Targeted website visitors is actually made up of those who are genuinely serious about just what you have got to say or sell online. These people either share exactly the same interests or have an immediate need or maybe a dilemma these people are trying to solve. Focused visitors are the best because the people hitting your website possess a much higher chance of realistically purchasing.

Targeted visitors derives from individuals following suggested links upon various other sites, typing in pertinent keywords and phrases into the various search engines, and even looking at content articles you have created on a particular subject, then clicking on over to your website to learn more. If you don’t know already how to locate the most effective sources of targeted prospects for your website, you will need to experiment with a lot of different sources to get the types which bring site visitors which give you the most “bang for your dollar.”

The fastest method to determine which concepts supply the best targeted traffic is to apply an “ad tracker”. An “ad tracker” is a simple program, located on your web server, which monitors the number of site visitors your website gets from a specific resource in addition to what number of them ordered. Even though it appears easy, most Internet businesses will not perform this! The majority of Internet businesses can not let you know their particular website visitor to buyer conversion percent and, for that reason, do not know exactly how much they can invest in traffic generation and continue being prosperous.

Whether you pay for the website traffic using money, or you pay for it with all the sweat of your own brow (article syndication), you need to recognize your very best and most lucrative sources of targeted visitors that convert directly into customers, website subscribers, or prospects. The inability to spot and also track wherever your buyers originate from after which, determine how much these people really cost you, in the long run translates into catastrophe for your online business.

webtrafficUsing local SEO and targeting local organic traffic is a large section of any internet marketers campaign and this is mainly because there are so many small businesses operating today. It has been estimated that there are close to thirty million in the United States alone and of these the majority of their first time customers have come through looking for a solution to their problems on search engines like Google.

Because of this, local visibility has become more important than ever before. It is not important whether you are a work from home business or a large corporation, by employing a local search engine optimization strategy it is possible to directly increase the amount of first time buyers. You do not need to create a complicated local SEO strategy in order to encourage local business, there are a few easy steps that you can implement to generate more sales.

A simple thing to do, especially if you are an online home based business, it to claim your own business profiles that are already in existence. It would in all likelihood amaze you just how many search engines and major websites have your business profile already online. Included amongst the most common examples are Google Places, Yahoo Local and Bing Local. If you go through all the verification steps, you will then be able to claim your business profile and modify it so that it is easier for people to find, and also to be sure that the information is actually correct and useful.

It is essential that you take control of the information that is already in existence about your business online.

The majority of local listings come through aggregation sites that search through the internet collecting the information that can then be displayed in a single place.

If for some reason these aggregation sites find information that is not right about your business it is possible that they will be unaware that they are displaying something that is incorrect. A common error is that phone numbers or addresses are not displayed correctly. This results in the possibility of a prospective customer who could be trying to get in touch with you will be unable to do so because of incorrect data. In most cases they will not really try too hard to contact you, they will simply move on to the next local business in the same line of work as you.

Another great idea would be for you to set up a central data location of your own. It is incredible just how many information aggregation websites are online that have information about your business and the best way to take advantage of this exposure and generate more local organic traffic is to have a place where your prospective customers can go directly which could be either your own website or a social network such as Twitter or a Facebook Fan Page. This will ensure that any customer, no matter where they learn about your business, will be sent to the same place. You must allow these sites to send you traffic, but at the same time you need to still be able to take control of this traffic as quickly as you can.

So you can see from this that there are numerous methods that you can use to benefit from local organic traffic for your business. The key is to understand why local SEO strategies are necessary to your online income business and the way you can get the best leverage from the aggregation websites. The three main steps you can take is to be sure to claim all of your business profiles that are already in existence, to take control over that information that is being displayed with regards to your business, specifically the phone numbers and the address, and finally you must make sure that you have a central location to which all of this organic traffic is sent such as your own website or a social network profile.

website trafficIf you want to get more traffic to your website, you have to understand how to find the best keywords to use, that will bring you the results that you’re looking for. And, surprisingly, just getting more traffic to your site is not usually the prime objective.

What most sites really want is visitors who take some required action, when they get to the website. Whether the action is to sign up to a list, or make a purchase, if the action isn’t taken, then the visit is essentially wasted,

And, getting people who will take action when they get to your site, is the real purpose behind finding the best keywords to use.

Now, you can only know the conversion rate of your keywords, after you’ve been using them and monitoring results. And this is why it’s important to understand the two different types of search results that will lead people to your site, organic searches and paid searches.

Simply put, organic searches are effectively free and paid searches cost you money every time someone visits your site, regardless of whether or not that results in a conversion.

Consequently, when you’re using pay per click methods, it’s possible to pay out more in advertising, than you get back in sales, and this is the reason that you might use different keywords to achieve pay per click leads, from those you use to get organic search results. And here’s why.

1. Using Organic Search Methods

For organic search results, there is no cost per visitor, so by finding keywords with high search volumes, you can increase your chances of getting clicks to your site without adverse results, if visitors don’t convert.

Although a high search volume doesn’t necessarily relate to a high conversion rate, there is no return on investment to consider here. So best to start with these high search volume keywords, to see if they get more traffic to your website.

For any keyword, you also need to consider the competition, that is, the number of other people using it. The more competition, the more search results will be delivered in response to it, and the more difficult it will be for your site or article to appear near the top of these results.

So, you’re looking for keywords with the highest search volumes and the lowest competition.

Then, you can test them, using Google Analytics, to see which ones perform best.

2. Using Pay Per Click Methods

Now there are benefits to using paid search methods and, probably the most common one, is that it’s the quickest way to get more traffic to your website. But, when you’re using pay per click to get visitors to your site, rather than relying on organic searches, you’ll need a different approach to finding the best keywords.

Again, you can use Google’s AdWords keyword tool to tell you the average cost per click and the search volumes of any given keyword, but, you won’t know the conversion rate and the consequent return on investment, until you actually test the keywords. And here’s where the main difference to using organic searches comes in.

High search volumes tend to relate to shorter, less specific keywords or phrases and result in lower conversion rates. OK for organic searches but not so good for paid results.

What’s required with pay per click, are fewer searches, since you pay for each one, but higher conversion rates, i.e. more targeted traffic. And for that you need long tailed keywords.

When you start using these long tailed keywords, you’ll find far fewer visitors, but more conversions. And the reason for the better conversion rates is that people using the long tailed key words are normally looking for something to help in solving a specific problem and, if your site provides the solution, they will be more open to buying.

To find these long tailed keywords, it’s best to spend time on forums and social media sites looking for the questions people are asking, that your product can solve. Check the phrases they’re using. These are the phrases people will be typing into search engines, to find what they need to solve their problem.

And that’s why, when they visit, you’re much more likely to get a conversion.

When you’ve found some good long tail keywords, you need to test them again with Google Analytics. But remember with pay per click, do make sure you monitor the performance and costs closely.

webtrafficWe discussed earlier the first golden rule in keyword research about finding relevant keywords for your niche. Now that we have obtained our relevant keywords, we now proceed to the second golden rule:

Finding High Traffic Keywords

The only time you actually welcome high traffic is if you generate it because of relevant keywords that drove people to your website. It’s a fact that some keywords generate high levels of traffic while other keywords generate low levels of traffic. Receiving little traffic is not enough and is disappointing.

One of the best ways of improving your traffic that will really make a significant difference is by using the Market Samurai keyword tool.

Let’s discover how this works.

When you enter a word or phrase in the search engine box of Google, for example, it will then generate page results that will display related articles to your chosen keyword or phrase. Generally, a high percentage of people will choose to explore the website ranked number one. A smaller percentage of people will choose to explore the number two ranked website and so on.

According to Market Samurai, the average breakdown of these percentages is as follows:

The number 1 ranked website receives 42% of clicks

The number 2 ranked website receives 12% of clicks

The number 3 ranked website receives 8% of clicks

The number 4 ranked website receives 6% of clicks

The number 5 ranked website receives 5% of clicks

The number 6 ranked website receives 4% of clicks

The number 7 ranked website receives 3% of clicks

And the remaining clicks are shared between all the other sites listed in Google.

Clicks refer to the number of times people actually clicked through your website upon seeing it in the Google page rank results. Clicking through the link will, of course, direct them to your site, ergo, providing traffic. (Just imagine the stark difference in percentages from the number 1 ranked website to number 2. A whopping 30%!)

SEO Traffic

However, lest you get disappointed with a “more or less” results for the traffic you want to achieve and the actual traffic your website is actually getting through your manual efforts, Market Samurai has the nifty tool SEO Traffic (SEOT) which gives you an indication of the maximum daily visitors that the #1 ranked website in Google could potentially receive from each keyword. SEOT features a trends column which provides a visual representation of the monthly traffic trends for each keyword. The graph always provides twelve months of trend information. It is also particularly useful for identifying keywords that are very seasonal.

There are actually easy steps that you could follow in this tool that helps you identify high traffic keywords and are worth targeting:

Set a traffic filter. In SEOT, all you have to do is just click the plus sign (+) next to SEO Traffic and enter a minimum traffic value. The suggested traffic value is 80.

Any keyword or keyword phrases that do not have the potential to deliver at least 80 visitors a day to the number 1 ranked website in Google will be weeded out.

Set a Phrase to Broad match filter of 15%. Also discussed in the first golden rule, this is used to filter out any misleading terms from Google.

Relevant keywords? Check.

High traffic keywords? Check.

webtrafficIf there is one thing that every Internet marketer wants it is more visitors to their website. This topic has been covered in various ways in the past. As a refresher here are 10 of the most popular ways to get more website traffic.

1. Pay per click advertising. Google Adwords continues to dominate this advertising strategy. However Yahoo Marketing, 7Search, Bidvertiser, and many other paid search engines offer affordable alternatives.

2. Blogging. A well-written blog article can bring search engine traffic. It can also increase the number of subscribers to your RSS feed which can lead to repeat visitors and more traffic.

3. Social bookmarking. To bookmark your blog URL into some of the top social directories use a bookmarking sites such as Social Marker. This helps the search engines to find you and can lead to more website visitors.

4. Article marketing. This is still a great long term strategy for promoting a website. So the reader can easily find you include a link to your website in your resource box.

5. Article videos. There are services such as Article Video Robot that will convert articles into videos. You then submit it to the top shared video sites such as You Tube and Yahoo.

6. Video marketing. Google owns You Tube which gets 85% of all video traffic. Doing video marketing is a good way to show up in the search engines and create website visitors.

7. Email marketing. Anytime you send a mailing out your list you can include a link back to your website. This should include blog updates and announcing new products.

8. Publish a newsletter. These are known as Ezines and have been around now for almost 15 years online. This is a good way to provide useful information to people as well as promote products in your online newsletter.

9. Viral marketing. It is a good thing anytime you can get somebody to tell somebody else about your Internet business. Ways to create viral marketing include reports, articles, ebooks, and so on. This could also include posting the video on You Tube that goes viral all over the Internet.

10. Go offline. You can still drive traffic to your website the old fashion way including flyers, business cards, newspaper advertising, and radio. Many times this is dependent upon what your actual budget is as off-line marketing can be expensive.

These are 10 ways to get more website traffic. Rather than concentrating on one specific way if you spread your advertising tactics around your traffic will increase

webtrafficIf you’re looking for a free web site traffic counter, you really don’t have to look very far. There are many websites that provide this service to you. If you’re not familiar with the basics of a free web site traffic counter, here’s just a brief explanation. You sign up for a free account, enter in your contact details or whatever other information required, and you are given a code which you can then paste into your website so that the program can retrieve the necessary data. If you want the number of website visitors to your site to also be shown to your web visitors, you can choose a code for that. And often times, you can choose a specific graphic of how you want the counter to appear. Or, if you don’t want that information shared (like in the instances of newer websites), then you can choose a code that will make it invisible.

Here are just a few of the traffic counters out there.

Let’s start with Google, for one. They offer a service called Google Analytics. Now this service is completely free if you are a Google Adwords customer and you’ve paid your bills. If you are not a Google Adwords customer, the service is free until you reach five million pageviews per month per account.

Stat Counter is another service which is offered for free until you reach one and a half million pageloads per month. The price then goes up from just nine dollars per month for 1.5 million to 7.5 million pageloads, 19 dollars for between 7.5 million and 15 million, and 29 dollars per month for over 15 million.

Free Stat Counter, as the name implies, is free. However, you do pay a price for that, if not in actual dollars. This service includes a sponsor link that is built into the code you display, so they generate revenue from advertising, but you might now want the sponsor information on your site.

Website Hit Counters offers a great variety of counter graphics to choose from, in all sizes, shapes and colors. This service also adds a sponsor into their code that either links back to Website Hit Counter’s website or the sponsor. This informative site also offers good resources, tips services, guides and information for webmaster. Free Hits Counter is yet another free stat counter. This is a very basic site, with a few counter designs to choose from. Just plug in your site information and you are ready to go. This site is also free because the counters are sponsored by advertisers who receive a small link.

If you do decide to go for one of the free web site traffic counters, make sure that you do not alter the code (for example, to take out the sponsor link) as this violates their terms of service.

webtrafficWhen I browse forums, I constantly see webmasters asking the question, “What is the best way to drive traffic to my website?”

On the surface, this may seem a logical and simple question to answer, but the truth is that there is no one “best way” to drive traffic to any website.

In the forums, I will say that the “best ways” to drive traffic to a website are: article marketing, SEO, forum marketing, social media, paid advertising, etc.

But between you and I, that is a canned answer given to those people who are not yet equipped to handle the “big picture” answer.

What is the Big Picture of Traffic Generation?

The big picture is that there are literally dozens of methods to deliver traffic to your website, AND there are millions of sources through which you can get advertising.

Furthermore, no one can give anything more than a canned answer, until they fully understand your online business and its target market — the people “who are most likely to buy what you are selling”.

The big picture is that if you are not bringing the right kind of traffic to your website, your traffic is doing nothing more for you than feeding your hit counter and stroking your ego.

Traffic for the sake of traffic is vanity.

Choose Your Target Audience Wisely

Just because the word FREE is still one of the most heavily searched keywords online does not mean that your online business will be served well by FREE.

Back in 2000, I did a consulting gig for a small business owner. He was complaining that his website was getting 2000 visitors per month and people were signing up left-and-right for his mailing list, yet he hadn’t made a single sale online!!

I discovered that in order to “build his mailing list”, he was giving away one free office chair every month.

His site had a free link to it on hundreds of “giveaway websites”.

On the surface, this may seem a good thing, right?

Wrong!

An old girlfriend spent all of her time online, going from website to website, signing up for “free giveaways”.

She was winning about $500 per month in free stuff — ranging from computer hard drives to food.

Twelve years later, she still does not spend any money online!

She is a freebie-seeker, not a buyer.

And my client had a big list of freebie-seekers looking to get a chance to win his “free stuff”. Those people did not care that he was in the business of “selling office furniture”. They were not on his list to “buy”. They were on his list to “get”.

I advised the client to kill the “free office chair giveaway” immediately. He did. His traffic dropped 90% in 30 days.

I advised him to construct really cheap product offers for his freebie-seeker mailing list, but not to hold his breath. I also advised him to create a new mailing list for “buyers only”. He did both.

Then we started rearranging product displays on his website. Within 30 days, he was making money from his website, and 90 days later, he was making money from his buyer’s list too.

With 90% less traffic, he was finally making money, because he was able to focus his time and energy on the people who actually wanted to buy what he was selling.

Your Traffic Building Should Follow the Same Profit Principles

Traffic for the sake of traffic is a fools’ game. Don’t do it!

When people start to buy traffic from Google Adwords and other PPC (Pay-Per-Click) providers, the natural inclination is to construct the advertisement, so that MORE people will click the link.

Many people believe that all they need to be more successful is “more traffic”, but that is dangerous thinking — especially when you are buying traffic by the click!!

“More traffic” is NOT the answer. “Better targeted traffic” is the real answer to profits and success!!

Instead of using the word FREE in a PPC ad, I always pre-qualify the people clicking my paid ads!!

If I am paying for traffic by the click, I want to make darn sure that the people clicking my ad are more likely to take the action I want them to take!!

For example:

* Our $27 Ebook.

* Submit Your Email Address.

* Submit Your Telephone Number.

* Our inexpensive service.

* For a one-time payment.

As you can see, I am telling people what to expect when they land on my page, before they click my link and make me pay for their visit.

When people know you are going to expect them to take a specific action, they will decide how serious they are to learn about your offer, before they click. Those “stop words” in your PPC ad copy will STOP the freebie-seekers and tire-kickers dead in their tracks! The freebie-seekers and professional tire-kickers will go to your competitors, instead of to your site…

This is to your benefit on two counts:

1) You don’t have to waste your advertising budget on untargeted visitors. After all, you want buyers and action-takers to visit your sites, right? And,

2) Your competitors get to waste their advertising dollars chasing people who have little or no commitment to buying the offer or opting in to the sales funnel.

Let your competitors spend their advertising dollars and time serving those people who are least likely to take the desired action, so that you can focus on closing more sales.

When you are paying for traffic by the click, pre-qualify the people who are going to look at your offer.

When you are paying for your advertising by a set price, such as with daily placement or display advertising, then it is fine to pursue those people who are a little less targeted, with a FREE offer.

Warm Up Your Prospects With Your Promotional Copy

There are dozens of free and paid traffic generation methods you can use to build traffic to your website.

Regardless of the traffic methods you choose, if you can pre-qualify and “warm up” your prospects before sending them to your website, you may find as I and others have done — that you can increase your conversion rates for the traffic you do receive.

This is why professional article marketers take so much time to fine-tune and perfect their articles. When you utilize article marketing to its fullest potential, you can talk directly to those people in your target market, pre-qualify your prospects, and warm up your readers to the possibility of purchasing what you are selling.

But honestly, article marketing is not for everyone.

If you don’t fancy yourself a writer, there are still dozens of additional methods you can use to deliver targeted traffic to your websites.

With experience, you will find that the better you target your traffic, the more likely you will be to close the sale.

And with a better closing ratio, you might even find that you have more advertising dollars available to grow your business at a faster pace.

Unless You Sell Clothing, One Size Does Not Fit All

While “one size fits all” seems to be a “perfect fit” for clothing manufacturers — pun intended, it should never be considered as a workable marketing plan for any real business.

Article Marketing works for me, but it may not work for you.

But the good news is that there are more than three-dozen free and paid traffic generation methods available to help you drive traffic to your websites — get acquainted with them. Then figure out which ones will be the “best fit” for your business.

The first step to learning how to increase your traffic is discovering the diversity of traffic sources available. Reviewers are praising Bill Platt’s new Traffic Generation Report for its quality and attention to detail. One reviewer called it, “Comprehensive!!” Another said, “You could always spend $1500 or more for one of the ‘guru’ courses and still get less info.” Get your copy here: http://thephantomwriters.com/multiple-traffic-streams/.

Adwords is an incredibly easy way to drive traffic to a website. While it is by no means low, it can be very competitive when compared to others forms of website promotion. Using Adwords as part of the marketing mix will help you to increase website traffic quickly.

Adwords Marketing

If you are trying to advertise with Adwords you are putting your faith in Google. Google has a selection algorithm to determine what type of advertisement that goes on the most appropriate pages based on criteria such as keywords. This implies that your advertisements are going to go on pages that cater to visitors who are similar to your target market visitors. They will be drawn into your website, as they are already interested in the services, products, or information that you have to offer.

It is important for you to understand that your advertisements will not get lost in the world of Adwords. Websites are looking to push Adwords advertisements as much as possible because of the revenue that they receive every time a visitor clicks on one of the advertisements they have placed on their website. They are likely to place the advertisements in prominent spot, as they want to get revenue as much as you want to get website traffic.

Adwords marketing has become a simple and somewhat cost effective way for websites to advertise. They cost less than they would be for large and prominent advertisements, as they are grouped and are small on graphics and flash. They are simple word advertisements that help to bring individuals to the information they are looking for.

Adwords On Your Own Website

If you are trying to get website traffic through Adwords you may also want to consider putting advertisements on your own page. Initial visitors to your website may find a link that they are interested in through the Adwords advertisements on your page. They will be more likely to visit your website again because they found more information and more sources through your website. Any website that can help someone to find something else on the Internet is generally seen in a positive light, leading to possible trackbacks.

Adwords is not a perfect fit for each and every website. While some websites would benefit from paying for those small ads, others would benefit more from link redirection or from backlink purchases. You simply need to understand your website and understand the various benefits that come from all of the different marketing tools that are available to you. Use Adwords if you have the money to spend and want to reach out to various viewers who may be interested in your website. If you do use Adwords, you should use analytical tools to make sure that you are deriving the net benefits.
