Targeted Traffic and How To Get It

February 29, 2008

If you have a website, you know that traffic is essential, especially if you
have something to sell. Not just any old traffic, though - you need targeted
traffic.

How is targeted traffic defined? It means website visitors who have a specific
interest in the topic of the website. For example, someone who is planning
to buy a wedding ring would be interested in jewelry websites.
How do I get targeted traffic? Here are some effective techniques:

Forums:

Whatever your topic, there’s sure to be at least one forum about it. Subscribe
to a couple of forums. Join in the discussions, answer questions, and ask
pertinant questions yourself. Become known as an expert in the field. Then
with each article
reply you write, have a discreet link to your website in the signature
file. What can be placed in your signature is often determined by the forum
moderators.
Do not spam the forum or you will be stopped from posting. You should be
able to get a fair amount of traffic from a popular forum, and the people
who click
your link will already be familiar with your writing style.

Look for websites which are similar to yours (but which do not compete directly).
Ask the website owner for a reciprocal link. Be sure to pick link partners
who match your customer profile. Try using a software program like Arelis
to help you find link partners.

 

 

E-Zines:

Buy adverts in ezines that target your market. Perform a test to ensure that
the return on your investment is enough to cover the cost of the adverts.
You may save a considerable amount.

Newsletters:

Offer your visitors something of value, such as an eBook, in exchange for
signing up for your newsletter. Write your newsletter so that it’s tightly
focused
on your subject. You should publish your newsletter regularly, preferably
once a week.

E-Books:

Write (or have written) a free informational eBook which you can give away
to your clients and others. You can place links back to your website
in the eBook.

Online marketers are always looking for products to sell. They may have
large mailing lists with eager to buy customers. Usually they will
be willing to
send an email to their list for a cut of the sale price. This works
particularly well with informational products. It has several advantages.
It can give
a large boost to both your mailing list and sales in a short time.

Buy Expired Domain Traffic:
This may be the most expensive in terms of money, but also the cheapest in
terms of time. You will usually get a traffic boost within a month. What
is it that you’re buying? You are buying traffic from a company which has
invested in expired domain names.

They are domain names which are still registered on the search engines which
get a certain amount of traffic. The previous domain name owners have not
renewed the registration for whatever reason. The traffic from the expired
domain name
is redirected to your website. This is usually high quality traffic as only
expired domains with relevant traffic is redirected to you. As always, you
should undertake a test run to see if this traffic is suitable.

When you combine these techniques and apply them consistently
over time you will find a rich source of targeted traffic coming to your
website. This, combined
with quality products will ensure the success of your online business.
