You want more traffic to your website right? The problem is everyone is touting some new slick way to bring in floods of traffic at the click of the button. What you need are proven strategies for bringing in good quality traffic and leads that can positively impact bottom line.
Here is a rundown of the current methods for driving good quality traffic that will convert into sales.
Paid For Traffic And PPC
Pay per click advertising is definitely the easiest form of high quality traffic and it is also by far the most costly of all options currently available. PPC can be incredibly profitable is done correctly. This will require that you create very large lists of hundreds and even thousands of long tail type keywords that are related to your market in some way. It is also important that you shop around your PPC options before committing to the big advertising dollars, test several versions of your sales pages and ads with cheap traffic first.
Web 2.0 And Social Networking
Web 2.0 and social sites seem to be all the rage now.
While social networking sites can drive mind boggling amounts of one time traffic it is important that you carefully measure just how profitable it is and how well those visitors convert into sales. All too often people get lured into looking at the overall visitors that can be delivered from web 2.0 sources and neglect to realize the traffic simply does not convert and ends up costing you money.
Turn Articles Into Traffic
Article marketing is an awesome strategy for pulling in highly qualified traffic for a couple of reasons. First you are delivering an article right to your target market that shares an interest or passion in the topic of the article. Secondly the resource box or about the author byline generally will allow you to link back to your sites and this helps with initial direct traffic from people reading your article but also has the added benefit of increasing search engine ranking.
Regardless of what traffic generations strategies employed you should always be tracking and measuring in profitability how well each source or method converts into dollars. There are several tools available to do this including my favorite MuVar, Google Analytics or simply crunching the numbers using your web hosting providers built in logging capabilities.
