Have you got the advice you want and need?

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.

I agree you can drive your self looney trying to implement all the different ways possible. However I like article marketing because of the many things it can do for you:

1. Submit to directories other website owners can use on their sites to drive traffic and create links
2. All the links will help you greatly with your SEO (search engine optimization and ranking)
3. submit to newsletter and hit your target audience
4. Raise your credibilty as an expert
5. create a newsletter and put a link to it in your resource box at the end of your article to create a list of people looking for what you have to offer

You get the point this is by far the one technique that has so many multiple advantages than say to link exchange

Like many have said and like ive said before, 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.

I agree that one than more technique should be used all i am saying is that article writing will bring many benefits and should definetly be one of the the techniques used.. Just make sure if your going to use the article on your site put it on your site first then submit so it is not seen as duplicate contect. As as we all know content is king!! And in my opinion is more about quality then quantity!! Make sure you submit to your niche category versus submitting to every directory.

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.

Personally I use a combination of social marketing and short promo videos that are super simple to produce and distribute. I am getting results, that is organic traffic from the search engines in as a little as 12 hours. Some times more some times less. Recently I got the #1 and #2 rankings on Google for my target niche with 1,770,000 competing pages.

What I do is look for any site that I can post my link. I use squido, blogger.com, blog comments, article directories, yahoo groups, etc. I do this every day, then just wait for the search engines to find the links. I will do this a little each day and I hope by the end of the year I will be getting a good amount of traffic to my newest site. I alway try and use my keyword in my link if possible.

The most important idea is to stay driven and have confidence in what your promoting.

Traffic Rule #1: Target your marketing to
a single individual buyer.
Traffic Rule #2: refer to TR 1.

The goal of marketing is not to create a traffic jam,
your aim is to find people who will buy.
People who will become your customers for life.

Targeted is the key: select your keywords
with care and imagination to ensure that your
advertising is really well targeted, and your costs
will be minimised. Select the exact bookmarking tags
that your visitor would type into search.

Set up tracking to aim for a high conversion rate,
then your targeting efforts will be paying off.

Offer visitors a free gift (related to the product
you're offering) in exchange for their email addy.

Don't think in terms of traffic in the thousands:
think of marketing to an individual person.

When you meet one, you can start building
a relationship with her

Just find your niche and passion for what ever it is your promoting or advertising and get into it.

This is enlightening one...

Just take 2 methods and test each other out.

Hello Everyone,

I agree there is no one great way to drive traffic to your website. It is best to use several different methods track each method and how it works for you that way you know what works and what doesn't. Before you worry about driving traffic you have to be sure that you website is optimized correctly your on page factors are very important because if your site is not optimized correctly you will never rank that well in the search engines. If your on-page factors look good then you can look at your off-page factors such as link building, web 2.0 submissions, article submissions(which works very well). etc. so as you can see there is a lot that you have to look at and test to find out what works for you. If your looking for a professional marketing firm that can handle these task for you and help you save time and money take a look at www.premieradvertising.net

I agree that you need a strategy that combines several methods. The best traffic method, though, is the one that works for you. Start out with one and then add another.

The most targeted traffic I get is from article writing and press releases. Ezinearticles and iSnare have been great. I also send press releases to PRWeb.

Another method that works well is a "Recommended by" list on your Del.icio.us page. Link to it in your email sig.

All the best,
Benedict

Hi keblack:

One very beneficial long-term strategy is to start a Wordpress blog with a theme
related to your main Web site. The results traffic can be instantaneous.

Web2.0 promotion and blogs are a match made in heaven.

I agree with what others have said about using videos and other web 2.0 methods. There are two main reasons I've switched to these ad methods. The first is that they are free, which is a good thing. The second and probably most important is that you attract highly targeted leads. When you utilize these methods you are selling yourself first. People see that you are a real person with real hopes and dreams. They either like or don't like what you have to say. But the ones that like you, they are golden. They are attracted to you as a person. After that, then you sell them on your opportunity or service.

For an example type in: mlmgoldmine on youtube. Or visit my myspace page: www.myspace.com/secretwealth

To your success,
