The 'How To' Marketing Forum

Hi,

What do you consider the best method for driving traffic to your website, whether it is an adsense and affiliate site, or similar ?

I guess article marketing is popular and cheap if you can do most of the writing yourself, but it can get expensive if you hire a company to write for you.

And another method that seems to be growing is social bookmarking sites, however that seems to be on the difficult and time consuming side.


Thanks.

To me it's not about 'one' method. I've never felt there was 'one' catch-all
method to do the best job.

I see things a little differently, maybe, but to me it's all about "strategy" not
method. The strategy is the cumulative result of using SEVERAL different methods.

Strategy will change depending on what you are marketing.

That's where my opinion lies after researching the Internet for so many years
that it seems like forever.

Sometimes you can get a lot of help to make things easier ... other times you'll
just have to clinch your teeth and go it on your own to try different things.

Just my two cents worth.

I agree with this statement. Marketing your internet business needs to be accomplished by taking on a number of different types and will be ever-evolving. You may find something that works now and for a little while, but then you'll find you will need to change it up a bit.

You have t implement a lot of different marketing ideas and strategies until they all just tie in together after a while.

Hi Ken,

Have you got the advice you want and need?
May I have a go?

Commit to just 2 traffic techniques. It is like split testing.
Focus on 2. If one does not work out, try something
different.

The main techniques are: JV partners, PPC (Google), SEO,
Article Marketing, Video and e-Bay! Also, Press Releases.
If you want a superb traininig course, try Matthew
Glanfield's BBO.

If your new to paid advertising it would probably be more wise to learn Web 2.0 Marketing Techniques first.
You can lose a lot of money on PPC if you don't know what your doing and that does hurt.

Some Web 2.0 Techniques include:

Article Marketing
Video Marketing
Forum Marketing

and so forth ..

If you would like more information regarding learning Web 2.0 Techniques, visit the link in my signature.

I akso agree with the web 2.0 technique. It is an absolutely free system to implement into your business.

find outdated sites for sale that already have traffic and buy them

Let me contribute my own opinion.

Different traffic techniques work for
different people and it is because
you may not be able to understand
them all.

A friend of mine asked ewen chia the
secret of getting his traffic.

What he said is that he used all the
traffic methods he understands combined
together.

When someone says use articles.The
question you need to ask is how.

Each traffic generation method requires
you to have a good knowledge of how
to apply it.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

There are alot of free traffic options.

Have you tried Link referral , its a traffic exchange site that works. I get up to 10 unique visitors to my site daily.
You also have the 100's of traffic exchange programs out there. I have had some success with these.
Safelists are another free option you could try. Safelists are a hard sell but dont forget the more your links are out there the more chance you have of a sale.
Plus the new fad of web social 2.0 , try them all

Kind regards

Jason

Hello,

There are many ways to drive traffic to your site. Some are free but can be time consuming and if your not sure what your doing can produce very little if any results.
The best way to go is with real professionals that knows what they are doing. That allows you to focus on converting your visits into sales.
Take a look at this site www.premieradvertising.net. It offers a performance guarantee and a free website evaluation.

I like to try two different marketing techniques to see which works better with the product or service I am marketing. I like forum marketing and affiliate.

Workingmom,

I totally agree with you. As I have said before, you have rinse and clean. "Choose the best and forget the rest."

Yes, there isnt just 'one' method to use I think. Its about meshing numerous methods together to fuse them and create a traffic generating machine for yourself.
