Attracting targeted visitors to your website is one of the most important objectives of thriving Internet marketers. Even though you may spend innumerable hours fine tuning your website and perfecting the sales copy to a fine edge, if you can t get targeted visitors to your website, your hard work is wasted.
You can purchase loads of visitors to your site. But, if those visitors are not targeted visitors, with an interest in what you have to offer, your money may as well go down the drain. Imagine the waste in having people interested in buying a refrigerator come to your web site that promotes cell phones. Once and a while someone might also be curious about cell phones, but that is not their pressing interest.
Yes, there are lots of ways to get traffic to your website, but only a few attract targeted traffic that will be responsive to your offers. Here are a few techniques that attract beneficial targeted traffic with consistency.
Blogging
You can construct a blog on your own site or on a site like blogger.com or wordpress.com. Select whatever topic you want to call attention to and begin putting your thoughts down so other interested people can read them. As you write your blog entries, keep two thoughts in mind. First, stick to the topic of your blog and don t write about just anything. Second, write consistently so your blog always has current information. These tips will help you because search engines like current, up to date content and other webmasters may add your blog s RSS feed to their site and give your thoughts further exposure. By including affiliate links or links to your money site in your blog entries you will attract targeted visitors for very little effort or cost.
Article Marketing
Write articles related to the website you want to promote. Distribute these articles to article directories to make them available to publishers of newsletters and webmasters looking for information to place on their website. The more your article is used all over the Internet, the more publicity you will get. People reading your article may be attracted to your resource box that promotes your website. Because the article is associated with what you have to offer, you will get targeted visitors to your web site. The more articles you create on your topic, the more you will be recognized as an authority and the more likely people will be to make a purchase because of your recommendations. Article marketing is an effective method to advertise your site, obtain more links pointing to your website and improve your standing in the search engines, which will draw even more targeted traffic to your website.
Pay Per Click Advertising
This is the fastest way to get targeted traffic to your web site. But, it is also the most expensive. You can place ads that will be displayed when people use certain search phrases on a variety of search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN s bing. Lots of people already utilize this method so you will be competing against lots of other advertisers. This means that the cost to reach the top of the displayed ads can be relatively high. While some people make good money at this, a beginner will often waste a lot of money on ineffective ads. It s essential that you know this technique before you jump in with both feet. But, once your have researched your niche and understand pay per click advertising, you can make a good income too.
By using one of these methods or several of these techniques in combination you can become successful and get targeted traffic to your site and begin making a living online.
