For most people, building a web site is simple. Even a 10 year ancient can add all the bells and whistles. But for some reason, getting people to visit your site often proves to be a small more hard. In fact, it’s not at all unusual for a web site owner to never receive a single visitor and soon give up any plans to have a successful site.

So how can you boost your web site’s traffic? According to Internet Marketing Consultant Gaston Collins at http://www.GastonCollins.com – there are a few quick ways to get traffic for a very minimal cost, but one of the first things you should do is setup a web site stats system that will allow you to track where your visitors come from. “It’s vital to know what pages your visitors will be coming from to visit your site. Otherwise you won’t know what works and what doesn’t,” Gaston says.

So with that out of the way for now, let’s look at some ways to get traffic. First of all, you can use the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) method. Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing are the most well loved PPC search engines.

Second, you can get free traffic by marketing your site through organic search engines. The major players are Google, Yahoo, and MSN – in that order.

The third way to get traffic to your site is through various methods of posting links to your site around the internet. The top methods of choice for this is contributing useful information to message boards and writing articles.

Finally we’ll discuss an often over-looked method of traffic generation, which is Ebay. You can look all day long, but you may not find a larger, more laser-targeted source of traffic at such a low price.

Now that 2010 has arrived, it is the habit of many people to make a resolution for the New Year. While many people focus on self-improvement, some opt to make resolutions about their business. Usually this involves a resolution to increase their revenue for their online business.

But did you know that it is really quite simple to increase your online revenue?

The trick is to drive more traffic to your Internet business(es). As you know by now, more traffic generally means more money.

No matter what type of site you have, your success hinges on getting as much traffic as possible. But like many online business owners, you have probably exhausted many sources for increasing traffic.

Recently I have found three incredible ways to drive more traffic to your site. The excellent news is that all these methods are not being done by many webmasters.

So if you want to increase traffic for 2010, be sure to use each of the following three traffic-building mechanisms:

1- Data Feeds

Do you like the thought of making hundreds, even thousand of pages of legitimate content?

With a data feed, this is possible.

Many online businesses utilize data feeds as a way to help their affiliates. If you are not familiar with this concept, a data feed is file that contains a list of products, descriptions and prices for individual items that are sold by a company.

With a data feed, you can make a specific content page for each product. So if an affiliate program has thousands of products, then you can make thousands of pages of quality content. As you probably know, the more content usually leads to more traffic.

Data feeds are fantastic for getting natural search engine traffic because they list specific products that people are looking

for. If you can find a data feed that is related to your specific website, then you can easily generate more natural traffic for your online business.

2- Viral eBooks

Another tool that can dramatically increase your website traffic is a viral ebook or report. Most of the time, a viral ebook is a PDF that people send to their contacts, which contains your marketing message. It is called viral because every person that receives the ebook is given a reason to pass along your material.

Before starting a viral marketing campaign, it is vital to make a reason why people will want to pass along your marketing message. Some of the best reasons can include simple greed or a desire to provide entertaining information to their friends. If you can develop a hook that will take advantage of either of these, then it will be simple to make a successful viral marketing campaign.

What I usually do is make a special 5 to 10 page report on a specific topic. Then I find an affiliate program that is related to the topic. Then I make a mechanism where people can easily brand this ebook with their own affiliate link.

This type of viral ebook is valuable because you can place a mini advertisement or sponsorship on every copy. In addition,

you can let the reader know that he or she can make money by offering this viral ebook. As a result, there is a chance that every person that reads the book will click over to your site.

3-Blogs

By now, you have probably heard about the power of blogs. If you haven’t made one, then you should use the New Year to take advantage of this traffic pulling tool

With blogs, you are providing your audience with fresh new content about your topic. People like to read them, because most

blogs contain new information in an entertaining and simple-to-read format.

The best part about blogs is how much they are valued by search engines. The majority of search engines consider any information on a blog to be vital current news, so they pay special attention to articles listed there. As a result, you can use blogs to drive a larger part of traffic to your Internet business.

For 2010 you should make a resolution to get more traffic to your site. By implementing these three tools into your marketing mix, you will learn that your web traffic (and income) will dramatically increase.

Compared to most industries the Internet is still relatively “young” but it has seen many highs and lows the .Com boom, the .Com bust and lately the global economic down turn!

One of the oldest yet still more effective techniques in driving targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers is information-based marketing. This is why article writing, submissions and publications are at an all-time high.

There are many tools that you can use to make the process of distributing your articles simpler. But, although this is invaluable in getting your article exposed to more sites, there are common mistakes that some people make before submitting their articles to directories.

Let us take a look at the more common mistakes made in 3 key areas:

1) Confusing the reason to promote articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, the main benefits of you promoting them is branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.

But, there is one reason why you write articles, and that is to inform your audience about a subject. It is greatly vital that your article is based upon this fact, or else you stand to fail in the promotional benefits as outlined above.

Of course, it is also highly vital that you figure out how to get people to read you article, and then to click on your site link in the resource box. I have produced a couple of articles that cover these areas so please check them out .

2) Failing to realize and maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing.

You will more than likely already know that your article can generate links back to your site from the article directories themselves, and also from any sites who publish your article from these directories.  But, did you know that you can attract more visitors and better search engine results from the same article?

The first step to achieving this is to provide relevant keywords at strategic places in the article. But, do not overdo this.  A excellent benchmark is to aim for between a ten to fifteen percent keyword density. I won’t go further into this here as I’ve discussed this in other articles but if you want to find out more, look out for more of my article marketing articles.

You shouldn’t just aim for your article to be accepted by article directories, but should ultimately aim for it to be used by publishers who scour the directories for website content. You should not underestimate the potential that this can have on your promotional efforts, as many of these publishers may have hundreds or thousands of regular visitors who could then view your article.

Start out by having a plot of what you want achieved and make sure that you reach your targets. It is vital to do this so that you can reap the maximum benefits of every article that you write.

3) Making articles with content that does not help your readers.

Maybe your only plot is to make an article and get links back from article directories, and that any visitor that you may get from this is fine.

Well you may need to reckon again. Many article directoriesclamp down on the amount of articles that they accept that are simply not up to standard. And even if a poorly written, uninformative article does make it into the article sites, then the potential of being picked up by webmasters seeking quality content is certainly lost.

The benefits of one publisher with a hundred thousand website visitors picking up your article should be enough incentive for you to write an informative article. This is by no means impossible, and you may find that this value is conservative in what you may achieve from a number of publishers running your article on their site.

Researching into a topic that is sought after is vital. There may be many readers of this article who will feel that this information is all well and excellent but feel that they cannot write an article well, or may not know enough about a certain subject to write an article. This is by no means a dead-end. There are many places where you can research into a topic, or hiring a writer might be an option worth considering.

The choice really is yours on how dedicated you are in increasing the exposure of your article, and consequently your website. On a basic level you can choose to gain a few backlinks from article directories, or with a small more effort you can delight in massive exposure from providing quality content.

Many have questioned me this very question: “Why do some affiliates make less than $200 per month while the top affiliates go on to make as much as $3,000-$30,000 per month?”

The Truth of the matter is most affiliates are not willing to take the path that the top affiliates are taking to make such insane income. They want a get-rich quick system.This hardly works with affiliate programs. But, there is excellent news for affiliates who are willing to get their hands dirty a small bit. Successful affiliate marketing today is based on the following 8 factors.

A excellent friend of mine who is an affiliate applied it and made over $100,000 in pure profits from sales generated by him.

These factors seem so simple and are often neglected but they are immensely powerful once applied.

1. Identify A Niche

The success of most affiliates comes from their chosen niche. If you find a profitable Niche, you can make a ton of money. As an affiliate you have to research an area or an interest you are very excellent at. Find out if people are interested or are really researching for your area of interest. Locate reputable affiliate programs in your Niche market and contact them. Also do some findings about these programs to authenticate their credibility.

2. Build A Simple Website

Once you have identified your Niche,the next thing you do will be to go online and research for information that you will use to build your website. Please take note that you will need to build a free content website with all the information you can get concerning your subject. Dont be worried to give away this information, once you give away and over deliver to your prospects, they will always come back to you for guidance. But do not sell anything on your site.

3. Grow An Opt-In Email List

When you build your website one of the goals of your website will be to get email leads. This you can achieve by providing a simple opt-in email webform on every page of your free content website. This will make it simple for your visitors to subscribe to your email newsletter or tips of that subject. You should cultivate the habit of getting information that will be useful at least once every week to your subscriber base.

4. Publish More Free Content

Each article you find online that will be helpful both to your subscriber base and prospects should be posted on your website. Try to only provide high quality information and newsletters to your website. Give out freebies on your site to enhance subscription rate and practically over deliver on your information generousity.

5. Find Out What Your Prospects Want.

In the course of writing your newsletter. Try to build relationship with your list by constantly replying each and every email. Show them you Really care for them by pre-selling yourself. Let them know you are interested in them as a person and not just someone who is interested in making a quick bucks. Give off yourself freely and you will earn their trust and confidence. Find out what product they really need.

6. Get The Product For Your List

After you have built trust with your email list they will be in the mood to buy from you as a recommendation from a trusted source. You have to get products that you are affiliated with or that you have bought licence for or products that have Master resell rights. But this product must be of high quality or else you will loose the credibility that took you time to build.

7. Sell The Products To Your List.

Send out your recommendation or review on the product and make it seem like a special offer that has a time span within which the price will be increased, this will make your offer to be sold out quick. You will be amazed at the result you will get this time. You can easily make tens of thousands of Dollars this way.

8. Go Back To Step 4 (Publish More Contents)

Repeat the steps from 4 to 7 for every 2-4 months to your email list and do not overwhelm them with products they dont need.

There you have it.This is the exact steps and strategies that the top affiliates are using to take away your competition. If and when properly done you can generate $60,000-$100,000 per annum.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel. If you are looking for a quick way to instant wealth, chances are that you may never see it.

Analyzing your competition is a excellent place to start when optimizing your web site for search engine placement. SEO or search engine optimization is about topping your competition. By looking first at web sites that rank high for your key word phrases you will have an understanding of the time and cost involved to have high rankings in the search engines. If you are going after a competitive keyword phrase the amount of time involved will dramatically increase.

When analyzing the competition, search for your keyword phrase or phrases in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Look at the top sites and especially look at the sites that rank high in all three of the major search engines. You now have a list of competitor web sites; these are your targets to pick off one by one.

Check your competitors’ backlinks or links to them from other web sites; this is going to be the best indicator of how much effort you are going to have to place into your search engine optimization project. You can check backlinks in Google and MSN by typing link:www.yourdomain.com. In Yahoo you would type link:http://www.yourdomain.com. Yahoo also has a special command that will show you all the links to an entire web site. This can be done by typing linkdomain:www.yourdomain.com. Now you can see all the links to the home page and sub-pages in a web site. The linkdomain command is the most helpful when evaluating links. Be sure to check links in all three major search engines so you do not miss anything. Also check backlinks on competitors sub-pages. You will not need as many deep links but this can make a huge difference when trying to get a keyword to rank on a sub page.

When evaluating your competitors’ links, keep in mind that this can be a link source for your web site. See if the web sites linking to your competitors accept web site link submissions. When submitting to other sites use your keyword phrase for your anchor text when ever possible.

Using the Google toolbar can be helpful too when evaluating links. Google assigns each page a page rank score based on a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being the highest. Do not solely look at a page’s page rank score; it is better that the page be on topic rather than an irrelevant topic and a high score.

Next look at the competitors’ title tags; are they using keywords in the tag? Be sure to check the keywords tag and description tag – I always find excellent keywords this way. There are some fantastic free SEO tools on the internet that will automate these processes. Just do a search for free SEO tools and you will have a lot of tools with different and unique features for your needs.

Links are very vital but if you are smart you will not need as many to beat out the competition. Build your inbound links slow and steady, and from a variety of sources. Make sure to use your keyword phases in your anchor text and vary the text for some of the links. This will appear natural to the search engines and should help you to avoid over optimization or spam penalties. If you are trying to buy one hundred inbound links to your web site, space your acquisitions out over a three month period or longer. One hundred backlinks appearing all at once looks very unnatural especially if you do not keep building backlinks at that rate. Make sure you have well written relevant content. When optimizing your web site stay with in all search engine guidelines. The guidelines will give you a excellent thought of what and what not to do for you web site to rank well in the search engines. You do not want all your hard work to go to waste because of an over aggressive tactic or simple mistake that is outside of the search engine guidelines.

Search engine optimization is increasingly being accepted as a powerful and critical component of the marketing plot. With the costs involved in other forms of online marketing growing significantly, it has become nearly a necessity for companies to include SEO in their overall marketing mix.

It’s thus no surprise to know that professional SEO today is huge business and this industry is growing at a quick pace. There are but many different types of SEO firms out there and finding a reliable service can be a daunting task.

Search engine optimization firms use varying methods to get high rankings for websites and not all of these techniques are considered ethical. With the increasing number of ‘black hat’ SEO firms, (companies using unethical and unfair methods and techniques to manipulate search engines), and the thin line between actual ‘black hat’ and ‘white hat’ SEO practices, it is crucial to be well informed of the methodology the company plans to use for your website before you choose to hire them.

Here are 8 simple tips to help you in your evaluation and selection of a trustworthy and professional search engine optimization service:

1.Educate yourself with the basics
Make sure to do your homework carefully before you venture out to hire a SEO service. It’s imperative you know in advance exactly what a firm can and will do for you to enable you to evaluate them. There are several resources online dedicated to search engine marketing and search engine optimization and taking the time to know and learn the basics will go a long way.

2.Fee structures and your budget
There are no standardized fee structures and most companies offer a range of packages instead. A package may in itself contain a variety of services like keyword research, optimization of a certain number of pages, directory submissions etc. Selecting a company should not be only about cost. A firm that charges more may not necessarily be better at SEO and likewise a firm that charges less may not necessarily be providing you the same services. Use prudence while understanding pricing models and the risks behind them. One way to go about deciding what your budget should be is to first identify your website’s and business’ unique needs, tailor a package to meet these requirements and then compare firms’ pricing models to choose a realistic baseline budget.

3.Size and specialty of the firm
Depending on the size of your website and requirements of your company, it might be a excellent thought to check out whether the firm is adequately staffed and what their customer to SEO team ratio is.

Another vital thing is to ensure that the company specializes in all areas of SEO and has a team of professionals experienced and accomplished in each of the areas including design, development and actual coding.

4.Location
The location of the firm largely depends on your comfort level. You may favor a local company or one at least within your country or prefer to outsource completely to another country to benefit from their lower costs. There are also few companies using a blended offshore delivery model with marketing and client services offices in one country and the actual design and development work being done in another. With the combination of lower costs plus client servicing available within reach, this upcoming balanced model may be a excellent option to consider.

5.Client testimonials and references
References are a fantastic way to start and should be freely available. If they haven’t been provided, question and make sure to use them to find out exactly how credible and trustworthy the company really is based on their past client’s experiences.

6.Guarantees
Most firms won’t guarantee top position results and shouldn’t. It is justifiable for a company to guarantee increasing your traffic or rankings from its current positions; but if any SEO service is guaranteeing you a specific position/ranking in any search engine, make sure you read the fine print of the agreement.

7.Ethics / Spam
Ethics is of paramount importance when it comes to selecting a search engine optimization company. There are a variety of unethical practices a firm can use right from while selling their services to you, to, the actual methods they use while optimizing your site (keyword stuffing, cloaking, etc to name a few). Make sure to question as many questions as possible and specifically about the methodology they use. If the firm does not offer you ready explanations of the process they undertake to optimize websites, you probably need to look elsewhere.

8.Reporting and success measurement
Some of the key questions to question – How long will it take to see results? What type of reports will the SEO firm furnish and how often? How will success be measured? Will a maintenance plot be included?

It is largely up to you to define the goal and success level of your SEO campaign. It may be an increase in the traffic to your site, potential leads from a mailing list subscription, or an increase from last years sales. Make it a point to discuss and articulate your goals with the SEO firm and come to an agreement before you hire them. It is but vital to set realistic expectations. Unlike PPC and other forms of paid advertising, SEO is a time consuming process, both in terms of implementation as well as results.

To conclude, hiring a SEO services firm can have a significant impact on your company’s bottom line, but the choice to partner with a particular SEO firm should only ensue after a careful evaluation of the firm and after you have done the groundwork necessary to help you choose your own goals for the program.

Most sites contain links page – why? Well, the two vital reasons why a web developer must look into having a links page.

1. Search Engine Optimisation or SEO is only one way of getting the search engines to pick up that you are there. Something else that you must not neglect if you want your website to be noticed is obtaining links.

2. Your website is offering a service to your visitors – links provide them with other sites of interest which they may want to visit. Although the retail industry might say they want people to stay on their site, rather than going anywhere else, carefully chosen links may be able to get people even more interested in the product you are selling! You may have to reckon laterally!

In the eyes of a search engine there certainly seem to be excellent links and terrible links. Excellent links will get you higher up the page rankings and onto the top of the listings, terrible links at best will be ignored and at worst could really could against you and your site be listed much lower.

- A excellent link is one from a site which has high relevance to yours, and which is has a excellent page rank.

- A terrible link is one from an obvious link farm, and has no contextual links to your sites.

Before we go further, lets talk a small bit about page rank. Page rank is the ranking that Google gives to website pages and shows their importance as Google sees it. The Google Toolbar, which can be obtained from http://toolbar.google.com for free, is a useful tool as it can show the page rank of any web page you are looking at. The page rank (or PR) of a site ranges from to 10 – is where you start, 10 would be exceptional! Although Google keeps the algorithms for working out PR very close to their chests, the progression through the numbers is probably on a logarithmic scale – that is, a site ranking 2 is many times more vital than that ranking 1, not just 1 point.

When you are link building you should be trying to get links to your site from sites with a higher page rank than yours. Links from sites with excellent PR will immediately signal to the search engines that yours is a site worth indexing! The more links the better!

So should you only link with sites with higher PR? Well, if everyone practised this the chances of you getting any links for your embryonic site would be zero! A site may be today, but that site may also be working hard to increase its rankings and you may benefit from their progress. Also, do remember your human visitors, a site may be useful to them, even if not for your purpose of increasing your rankings! So golden rules to remember:

- Aim to get links from high ranking pages

- Place up links from any site which has high relevance to yours.

First reckon of sites which it would be useful for your visitors to be able to go to from your site. For example, if you are a specialist site, are there some national organisations that promote your sport, leisure activity or industry? Your first step will be to email these organisations and question if you can have reciprocal links with them.

Now this may a small bit of a David and Goliath situation, and many people feel place off because they reckon their new immature website is far too small. You may not get any response to your emails, you may get a response refusing you, but you may find a national organisation with excellent page ranking agrees to link to you! Be very pleased with this!

Immediately someone agrees to have a reciprocal link with you, place up their link on your website – just in case they choose to check!

Now, reckon again about your customers or visitors – even if the huge organisations have refused to place a link to you on their site, it may still be useful to place a link to them on yours for your visitors’ information. Always remember the whole goal of getting website traffic is to get and keep loyal customers or visitors – not just to attract search engine bots!

Now the hard work starts. Search the web for sites on the same subject matter as yours, but which are obviously NOT competitors. Keeping an eye on the Google Toolbar look for sites which have a better page rank than yours – ideally the websites you are looking for will be ranked about 4 or 5 (higher ranking sites may be a bit snobbish towards novice sites).

What about people who supply goods and services to you – can they link to yours? What about customers? Try and reckon outside of the box here – if you have a sporting site how about a link to a local photographer?

Sometimes you can do excellent research away from the computer (yes, you can turn it off sometimes!). Trade magazines are often a excellent start – write to any email addresses and question for a reciprocal link. You may find even if they do not have a links page already they may choose to add one! It never hurts to question!

When you are looking at websites check that they have a links page. If they do you may find there is a form on which you can submit the details on your website asking to be added to their links page or a suggest site add new link button so that it is simple to add your site. You may need to email a website if they don’t seem to be canvassing links. Don’t be too place off if there isn’t a relevant category for them to list your site in – they can always add more categories. If you don’t question you don’t get! If you do question – you may well succeed!

So don’t be worried about emailing and asking for reciprocal links – but do make sure you place up the links you promise! This may lead you to reckon a small about your site – some people don’t want to have their link at the end of a very long page. You should consider rotating banners so you can show more links, but keep the page simple. You make also need to restrict non relevant links.

If you know your subject show it! And one of the best ways is to join a forum. When posting or answering a topic on the forum always use a signature with your website address on it – if the forum users like what they read about you they will click on the ljnk to visit your website, and hey presto – you have more links coming into your site! If your hosting company has a user forum, there may well be a section where you can showcase your new site – if so, you will get a number of visits through this. Lovely links for search engines and fodder for the link spiders!

Also, if you visit the Guestbook of a relevant site you can also leave your website address there. BUT PLEASE ONLY IF IT IS A RELEVANT SITE!

Article writing as a technique for building links and traffic is a less obvious area which a lot of people don’t know about or know.

Presumably you are an expert in your area – or at least have useful information to share with others. So write an article! Not sure if you can? Well, start with the content of your site as a basis – you may already find you have done the hard work. Can’t reckon of a subject? Well reckon laterally again. If you are selling artistic candles, for example, what about an article about the history of candle making? If you reckon hard enough there probably is something you can write about! You made need to do a small research, but articles will really help build your traffic and ranking. (And of course you can use them as content on your own site!)

Articles do not need to be lengthy – in fact shorter is better. Probably no more than 600 to 1000 words. What you want to do in your article is write about something related to your site.

Now there are a number of websites that you will publish your article for you. Other websites can use your article for free, but they HAVE to include the author details – which off course means your website details. People using your article will form links back to your site – the more different sites using it, the better the links!

Better still you can submit your article to any number of article sites. Ezine Articles is one of the largest, but any search on Google will reveal a number of others.

Now, no one can pretend that this is an simple activity – it does take time. No one is going to use your article if it is not well thought out and tells them something new. It must not be dull either. But article submission is a really brilliant way of improving your website’s position in the search engines, and should not be ignored.

Of course articles are also vital resources for Webmasters in another way – free content for your site! There are sites out there which cater for an incredible number of subjects, and in themselves can be very useful and informative! Free articles for web designing, for example, can bring you other hints and tips for making the best of your website.

If you use an article you must place on the full author’s bio and a link back to their site. But the benefit to you is ready made content hopefully keyword rich which will attract the search engine bots like bees to honey!

Web rings are another way of building links – again, check the page rank of the web ring you are joining. Web rings give you links, and also provide your human visitors with other sites of interest which they may wish to visit.

Let’s face it – website design and publishing is really a lot harder work that you probably first thought when you started designing your home page. But there is nothing more demoralising that having designed a wonderful site which you are extremely proud of – only to find you have no visitors at all!

You probably do want to spend all of your time fine tuning your existing pages, and putting up new ones, and anything which drags you away from this will be resented, but if you want a successful website link building is something which has to be done.

The best advice is to place one day a week aside for what we should call your marketing activities. Link building, along with SEO, are activities are extremely tedious. Build SEO into the way you construct your pages from the beginning (or in other words, consider not only the impact on the human eye as you design your page, but consider the spiders and bots at the same time!). And use your day a week to build links.

A tip from experienced developers in this area is not to aim to get hundreds of links in a small space of time – this will again make the search engines suspicious. Instead just aim to get one quality link at least once a month.

Website marketing is not a small sprint – it is more like a marathon. Many will start the race, but a large number will fall beside the wayside. But if you acknowledge it will be hard work and keep slogging away you will get to the end. There will come a time when you will receive a request from a reputable, well ranked website, asking for a reciprocal link from you! That may not be the end, but be assured that will give you a real buzz, and you will know then that most of your hard work will have been worth it!

Many new computer graduates come up with their own websites and launch it. But very few are aware of what does link building really mean. Many might have heard the term but still interpret it in the incorrect way and reckon that it means getting connected to other websites. Their interpretation misses the most vital word- relevance.

Relevant link building is the essence of a successful link building campaign and very few have got the intellect to really go ahead with it. For such reasons, numerous expert and adept professionals have come up in the online arena who now the A-Z of link building with all its importance and requirements.
