15 Powerful Ways To Drive Traffic To Any Website…
I was surfing in digital point forums when I came across a good post by NCmedia. They run an affiliate network similar to Clickbank.
Took the gist of it out, and this information will certainly benefit you, regardless of what you're promoting online. In fact, if you can create a daily routine to work on some of these free traffic generation tactics, it will stand you in good stead. If you've heard or read about some of this techniques but haven't tried them, hopefully this post will motivate you to get started.
Quote
1. Rather basic but sneaky and works - http://answers.yahoo.com/ create 2 accounts or get a friend to help - one asks questions - one answers. - Seek out questions related to your promotions - drop answers with your domain in them. - good for quick ranking - don't overdo it.
2. http://www.hubpages.com - make a hub - include your domain on keyworded text links and graphics - use SEO wisely (whole other thread - go learn basic seo if you don't know it). Link to your domain which goes to your quick lander.
3. http://www.squidoo.com - Same as #2
4. Make blogs on BOTH http://www.blogger.com and http://www.wordpress.com - if you have time hit up 5 more - follow suit with #2 tactics.
5. Join forums related to your topic/prouct: Use signatures - put in the time once/twice a day to start or stay inolved in hot topics/threads with well thought out posts - IT WORKS. << Especially when NOT in the IM markets. Seems like a BS daunting task right? Wrong! So is writing 10 ezines, waiting for approval, resubmitting, etc. but you still do it - this is instant and free without moderation (well - without approval/denial) - DO IT.
6. We've had good discussion on review style landing pages - try both but pick one and stick to it - landing page domains are still in my opinion the strongest and most focused way to go - use them.
7. Visit http://www.onlywire.com - see the list of sites? SIGN UP TO THEM! Don't be lazy - make the same username/pass at all sites - then when you update your blog/wp/content - use onlywire to submit to - all at once.
9. Get a http://www.feedburner.com for your blog/wp - import it into DP - in your settings you'll see it - See my username? See the text line beside it? That's the headline of my newest blog title - whenever I update my blog - this helps me rank HELLA fast in SE's - I know it's basic but some of you are probably going "Oooh!" right now 
.
10. Craigslist and USfreeads + Autoresponders:
"Are you looking for a HOT new home based business opp that can finally skyrocket your life? Email me for your reserved free info session at 'email'" << Post an ad like this on Craigslist without an afflink but a gmail/email account that has an autoresponder attached - when someone emails you - your autoresponder sends them back your canned email pitch + domain name. << If you get NO response = you got ghosted. To check if you got ghosted - simply go to the category you submitted to, if you see your title in the list - you're good - if you don't - you may no longer be allowed to post publicaly and will have to outsource this now. <<There are many 'CL' types of sites however they are still god among all of them.
11. Don't do mishmash review catalog sites: If you own one of those CB malls or blogs FULL of products and categories and graphics and different niches and comments and banners and adsense and alternatives and blogrush and and and << It won't convert for you NEARLY as a focused marketing path and customer journey to your endorsed products. Become a marketer not a reviewer of anything/everything all at once, that's just random endorsements like throwing jam at the wall to see what sticks…
12 Offline - whole thread about it somewhere in here recently - READ IT. Offline is just as lucrative as online - remember - you have a domain name, all you need to do is distribute it with the right messaging and bang = income. Get Radio ads * Printed flyers * Small bold newspaper ads/full page color ads * tv ads * event ads * Leave stacks of flyers wherever * Bulletin boards at supermarkets or colleges or communities * Might go to jail but get some spraypaint and tag up a bit white wall with your.com << Don't do that…
13. Make a .pdf - submit to warez/torrents sites and create a listing for "Get product XX download and crack here" - when they download it - it's just your pre-pitch with your domain <<Actually works rather well.
14. Adwords targeted banner placement - if you aren't having any luck with adwords textual - try to look for a great high traffic site that you see has google ads on it - now you know you can target it - so get banners for your product and target that site with your banner and your.com
15. NEVER EVER EVER buy traffic in bulk << EVER - no matter how great the copy or graphics or price or reassurance or 'new' method/story - can't say it enough - and i'm sure no matter how much I preach - I'll still see some of you aff's try 
You're wasting your money and my bandwidth and you'll just say 'he was right' someday - this includes bux type sites, any ptc/ptp etc. site.

"How do I receive money from the internet?" And Other FAQs
1. How do I receive money from the internet?
- You receive a check every month to your home
- Commissions are wired into your banking account every month
- Commissions are wired to payoneer which you withdraw cash from every month
Your banking account grows and you can pay for your mobile, electricity bills, insurance, kids education, home loan, car loan.
2. What amount would you consider as a full time income?
More then or at least equivalent to the working salary you would receive working for someone.
So if you're receiving $5 from Adsense, or $100 a month, unfortunately that is not a full time income. Having said that a recurring $800 per month can pay off quite a number of life's necessities.
3. Is an Internet Income stable?
Yes. And it can only keep on growing.
4. Any other tips?
Have a diverse portfolio of products focusing on the same business model. Example, if you're into selling golf items, then establish yourself firmly into that market and offer complimentary golf items, accessories… the same way Macdonalds asks if you would like to upsize your fries to go with your happy meal. A wrong way of diversification is to sell golf, then do ebay, adsense, CPA, try to start a forum, etc…
5. How much should I aim for?
$10,000 per month is the minimum one should aim for, then keep raising the bar. Do more revenue generating activities. Example, if PPC is making you money, then expand your keyword list, tighten your ad groups etc…
All the best to your internet business!

Focusing On Your Internet Business…
What is the business model that you want to do that's going to earn you $3000 - $100,000?
Have you been looking at:
- CPA (I want people to fill out my forms!)
- Adsense (Google, I won't click on my own ads..I swear!)
- Run a forum with openX advertising (Ogilvy..step aside)
- Participate in over 20 affiliate programs (I'm an affiliate junkie!)
- Sell wholesale products over ebay (I want to retail stuff bought from someone else!)
- Market your own ecommerce products
- Consulting…(Bain & Mckinsey love me!)
- PPC Affiliate marketing
- Data Entry from home (I type stuff!)
- I blog for a living…
- Filling out surveys for cash (I'm a multiple opinionated person…!)
Succeeding online requires FOCUS on 1 business model. If we try to do too many things, its easy to get burnt out, be a jack of all trades and master of none. The only time we can try a few things is when we're starting out, testing to see what we like to do. Afterwards, we aim to focus in 1 direction until we hit our income goals.
1. Example, say you want to do Adsense:
The best way to succeed with Adsense is to run a community forum. Golf site, Cosmetic site, IT site, any kind of kind discussion niche that captures interest. That way, you can leverage on content added by other people. Alot of people are interested to share ideas just out of passion for a topic, and that will help the site can ranked high in the SERPs, generate tons of free traffic for you.
2. Or, say you want to have your own info product:
Never write about what you like, find out what people want, and provide a solution to their problems. Have your work published by authority sites as well good article directories. Build up your subscriber list and ask them what they want to know. Produce your own work afterward, submit it to a network affiliate site.
3. Or, become a PPC Recurring Affiliate master:
Send PPC traffic to a landing page and offer a free download or ecourse. Share good information for 7 days then recommend a product that has worked for you. I've made tons of money this way, and its almost a brainless way to pluck cash out of thin air.
then…
Having said that, many people desire to earn a huge recurring income online. Here's the thing, intentions and feelings don't make one rich. Its similar to men wanting 6 pack abs and ladies, a figure like Keira Knightley, but when it comes to the crunch, few people will step up to the plate.
That's why there're folks who drive BMWs, and others that .. don't drive BMWs. Intentions, feelings, desires, wishing, talking, can't make anyone rich, as the Kungfu Panda said,"Enough talk, lets fight…"
Are you ready to grab the bulls by the horns and turn your internet business into a success? Before we answer a resounding "Yes!", we should know that its difficult to run an internet business whilst having an employee mindset. As an employee, we can "look" like we're working and still draw a salary. Entreprenuers, Internet business owners are "can do" people, problem solvers…result & bottom line driven.
Stay focused & all the best to your internet business!

Affiliate Marketing- How to create $100,000 in affiliate revenue in a few days…
If you're looking to generate $100,000 in a few days, this post will surely interest you…but before I write further, here's a video you can watch. Its me in the background, "sounding" muffled…
Anyways, check out as I log in live to one of my specialty sites, and you'll see some very interesting stats, from $0.00 to $203.00 to…..
Click to watch $100,000 revenue generated in a few days (opens in new window)
From my experience, there're 2 ways you can generate $100,000 in a few days.
1. Have a large mailing list generated over the years. Say you have a large database of customers in the health market. Simply sending them information about a product that helped you, lets say, gout condition can earn you a repeat income this month and every month when consumers continue consuming the product. The revnue generated is thus in the numbers.
2. Have a few clients in the luxury niche. Luxury clients have alot of money to spent. Just 1 client can spend anywhere from $2000 to 100,000 in a matter of days. Not everyone is into "making money online". Some folks want to buy yatchs, diamonds, ships, etc. Close a big sale for a big client and you have yourself $100,000 generated in a couple of days. 
"Sherman! Gimme Some Tips On Pay Per Click Marketing!"
Pay Per Click Lucrative Marketing is a skill practiced by mostly serious individuals who make online affiliate marketing their full time income, and rightly so because PPC is not as simple as picking up a book and reading about it. Google has courses on this subject and they have Google Qualified individuals that take these tests to help Google clients. Some internet business owners hire PPC experts to construct PPC campaigns for them.
This is my motto when doing Pay Per Click Marketing.
"For Every $100 I put into PPC, my return profits will be $700 - $1200." Having a goal setting Pay Per Click Internet Marketing mindset allows us to focus on what we're doing. If we do not set any goals, its hard to achieve income goals, as a product owner, affiliate marketer, CPA etc…
If you've heard about how PPC is turning ordinary folks willing to learn this art into minimum 5 figure earners…its absolutely true, and its 100% faster then building blogs, writing content, hoping that the search engines will pick up your work…although there is nothing wrong with those approaches, especially if you have the time to sit at your computer and write.
PPC is for the lazy person who just wants to construct campaigns and use money to make money…
Here are some tips to help ya out if you're thinking of stepping into PPC.
1. For most folks selling 1 time cj, clickbank $30 com products, don't send traffic directly through an affiliate link. Spend money to get a domain name and webhosting and send traffic to your own website 1st. If you cannot afford this, hmm, its hard to enjoy the "internet riches" lifestyle…
2. Don't bid more then $0.30. Go for low hanging fruit, if you cannot bid $0.80 to be in the top spot, don't get into a bidding war with another competitor. Try thinking out of the box and search for another keyword.
3. Always send PPC traffic to a landing page…whatever niche it is.
4. Market residual income programs with PPC, this is the surest way to give you a good ROI.
Pay Per Click Marketing can quickly and easily earn a person residual income when used correctly. The PPC mindset is = "For every $100 I put into this machine, I get $700 in profits", so $200 = $1,400…
Find a good residual income program, set aside a $200 budget and give it a spin!

Affiliate Marketing - Pay Per Click Marketing For Instant Success
Pay Per Click Marketing is an affiliate marketing skill practiced only by successful affiliate marketers. The reason for this is that most affiliates do not fancy the idea of spending money everytime there is a click on their ads and one can lose money if there is not a solid business plan in place. Pay Per Click Marketing in the right hands is the fastest way for anyone to get results online, in hours or days from the day the ad was placed.
Getting started in Pay Per Click Marketing is very simple. All we need to do is go to any one of the major search engine providers such as Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN Marketing and Google Adwords Marketing and setup an account. Setting up an account requires a debit or credit card. This is also a possible hurdle for some interested in online marketing but unable to get started because of lack of this tool. Many banks now allow their ATM cards to function as a visa card.
Pay Per Click Marketing never gets saturated. Compared to other forms of advertising such as ezine advertising that can generate sales…however one needs to place ads, or solo ezine ads to test if the subscribers to an ezine newsletter is responsive to an ad. So its either a hit or miss. For this same reason, PPC is especially good for affiliates in the MLM or network marketing arena that are looking for ways to generate leads for their business. For example, while your upline may have success advertising a business opportunity in a certain ezine with 5000 subscribers, over time that pool becomes saturated with the same ad and this resource pool will no longer be beneficial to the sponsors downline.
PPC however takes some skill and time to understand the intricacies of the advertising system. The best way to succeed in PPC is to have a business model that is long term, in other words, we need a business plan that either has got many products we can introduce in time, a recurring charge business model such as a membership site or a high ticket item. Once the business model is in place, we can send instant traffic with Adwords, Yahoo, or MSN. Such business models will give you a high chance of earning $1000s with PPC in net profits!
All the best to your internet business,

Pay Per Click Marketing - How To Make Money With It?
Pay Per Click Marketing also known as PPC is a form of paid advertising. While the sound of paying money per click sounds like a big hole in your pocket, PPC is potentially lucrative in the right hands.
There are many services that offer PPC advertising. A few that I've used with good results are Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN, Google Adwords, Adbrite and Bidvertiser.
The main thing when using Pay Per Click advertising is to have some sort of tracking. These tracking codes are provided by the advertising services. All that needs to be done, is to simply copy these codes and paste them before the /body tag. If that sounds difficult, its actually quite simple once you give it a try.
Once the tracking codes are in place, we can understand what is making money, and what is not. For example, if a keyword is only giving you 10% conversion rate, then either we lower the bid for that keyword…or discard that campaign altogether.
When doing PPC, its important to understand the life time value of a customer. Ultimately, your goal for PPC is to bring a curious surfer to a customer. This is also known as conversion. From my experience with Pay Per Click Marketing, the best way to succeed with PPC is to have a product that is recurring in nature, as compared to a 1 off sale.
Products that are recurring in nature can be webhosting, membership sites, dating sites. Any product that requires a monthly subscription gives you a good chance of making good money with PPC. Alternatively, if you're looking to sell a 1 off product, then, you will need a different strategy. This will involve building an email list. This is because after a customer purchases a product from you, by being on your list, you will be able to introduce complementary products to the same customer.
Mastering Pay Per Click Marketing is an excellent skill to learn because it generates results very quickly. I have been doing pay per click for 2 years and its one of my top recommended money making methods. Give it a try, you may like the results!
