Traffic Building for Newbies

By MLMAbsolute

When you have decided to establish your online presence, the next thing you should do is to get people to visit your website. You must have enough people visiting your website so when a percentage of them buy, you will still make sales.

Say your conversion rate is, of every 100 person who view your website, 3 person buys. Then you know that in order to make 15 sales a month, you need 500 people to view your site.

There are many methods to direct traffic into your website;

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

This is to make your website appear in search results, by having your website more appealing to search engines.

Social Media

It is a very popular way to get traffic through social media now. You can network on social media platforms like FaceBook or MySpace to know more like minded people from all over the world.

Article Submission

Another way to get traffic and promote your website is through writing articles. After you write articles, you submit them to article directories, you get traffic when people read them. You are able to get backlinks to your website, and you can also position yourself as an expert in the field.

Pay-Per-Click (PPC)

Pay-Per-Click is a good way to get target traffic from search engines. You pay a small fee when someone clicks on your advertisement. You can advertise your advertisements in Google, Yahoo, and other search engines. Cost ranges from a few cents to a few dollars for very competitive keywords.

Forum

Another way to get traffic is to participate in relevant forums to increase exposure or advertise your business. You can take part by asking questions or by helping people with their questions, or just by simply participating in the discussion.

Video Submission

Like articles submission, video submission allows you to increase the exposure of your advertisements. There are many software available to help you automate the submission of your video to multiple video sites and video directories, such as; youTube, PeekVid etc.

Classifieds Marketing

Classified marketing is another method you can use to obtain traffic into your website. You basically place an advertisement in the classified site and interested people will click on the link you provided and visit your website.

After getting the traffic into your website, it is important that you obtain their email. You can do so by adding an Opt-in form in your website. One good auto responder you can try is Aweber. After obtaining their email, you can send updates and product information to them regularly to maintain contact.
