Everyone who has a website knows that to have sales you must



have traffic, but not just any traffic it has to be targeted



traffic.







What is Targeted traffic? It is simply visitors to your website



that are interested in what your website is about. For example,



people interested in buying jewellery will find jewellery



websites interesting.







How do I get targeted traffic I hear you ask? The following are



tried and tested methods:







Forums: Subscribe to forums that discuss your topic. Answer



questions and join in the debates there. Become an expert in the



field. Then with each article reply you write have a discreet



link to your website in the signature file. What can be placed



in your signature is often determined by the forum moderators.



Do not spam the forum or you will be stopped from posting. This



is one of the most productive ways of getting free traffic as



those who click your link have already read and liked your



style.







Linking from/to other websites: Contact website owners that have



similar but not competitive websites to yours, ask them for a



reciprocal link from their website to yours. Be sure to select



your link partner to match closely your customer profile.



Software programs such as Arelis are very helpful in this



process.







E-Zines: Contact e-zine owners that have your target readership



and buy advertisements from them. Be sure to have a test run to



see that the return on investment is sufficient to cover the



costs involved. If you are buying an extended run of



advertisements haggle with the e-zine owner over price. You may



save a considerable amount.







Newsletters: When people visit your website offer them something



of value for free if they sign up to your newsletter (like an



e-Book). Your newsletter should be written tightly geared



towards your topic. It should be published regularly at weekly



intervals.







E-Books: Often used, these are usually free informational books



for your clients and for others to give away free if they leave



your links in the book itself. You can place links back to your



website in the books you sell or give to your clients.







Joint Ventures: Contact online marketers looking for new



products to sell. They often have large mailing lists with eager



to buy customers. Normally they are willing to email their list



for a cut of the sale price. This works particularly well with



informational products. It has several advantages. It can give a



very sizeable boost to both your sales and mailing list within a



very short period.







Buy Traffic: This is probably the cheapest in terms of time and



most expensive money wise. It gives a traffic boost normally



within 30 days. What are you buying? You are buying traffic from



expired domain names which the company selling the traffic has



bought. They are domain names still registered on the search



engines which get a considerable amount of traffic. The previous



domain name owners have either lost interest in the name or



simply forgot to renew the registration. This means that the



traffic from the expired domain name is simply redirected to



your website. This is usually high quality traffic as only



websites with traffic such as you want is redirected to you. As



always, a test run to see if this traffic is suitable should be



undertaken.







When you combine these techniques and apply them consistently



over time you will find a rich source of targeted traffic coming



to your website. This, combined with quality products will



ensure the success of your online business.
