Traffic: Don't Under Estimate It's Importance

One thing that constantly bugs me about many of the products that get released is that they don't tell you how to bring traffic to your site. You get a large e-book that tells you how to build an amazing site but not one chapter on traffic generation

When I was starting out I spent lots of money on site building tools and keyword tools and nothing on learning how to generate traffic. I now know how stupid that was. The tools might have been the best in the world but without traffic the end results were worthless.

You can have the best looking site in the world, with the perfect keywords but if you don't know how to firstly attract the search engine spiders and then real human visitors then the site is going to have no value. Try selling a website and the first thing you will be asked is "What is the Income & what's the traffic" The income is not particularly important. If I am buying a site I actually want the income to be as low as possible as it will be cheaper for me. Given a choice of a site with an income of $100 a month and 1000 visitors or a site with $10 per month and 2000 Visitors I'll always go for the visitors.

You will never stop learning how to generate traffic. Spend time working on your own system and launching sites will be much easier. Only yesterday while making a video for my membership site I discovered a new way to get my site into Google in under 18 hours.

This was something new that I hadn't used before, needless to say I was pretty impressed. I used it on another site 3 hours ago and guess what? It's now showing in Google. That's 3 hours from creating an entry to it appearing in Google. I didn't even know that updated their database that often!

The method I used has not been mentioned in any of the traffic generation products I've read. However this is not too surprising as traffic generation is constantly evolving. Google change their algorithms and sites fall out of favor or become favored. It was only a few months ago that Squidoo was the best place to start your link building. Now it's fallen out of favor.

One great method of seeing what services and sites are worth putting your links on is by looking at Internet marketing niches. Internet marketers have never been slow in finding the best ways of getting indexed. Look at what sites are ranking for various search terms. If you find a web 2.0 site or a blog site test it on your sites and see how it performs. If it gives you results add it to your list of traffic generators.

By choosing keywords wisely and using all the sites you have identified you can quickly start to dominate a niche. For a recent product launch I had 5 of the top 10 positions in Google for the product name that was launched. Needless to say I generated quite a few sales from Google traffic without having to resort to PPC.
