One of the most<br \/>\ncommon questions from webmasters is this:<\/p>\n<p>How much traffic do you need for your site to be<br \/>\nsuccessful?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, how you answer that question will be<br \/>\ndirectly related to what the objectives of your<br \/>\nsite are? What are your goals? Do you want to<br \/>\nearn revenue from your site or do you have it<br \/>\njust as a hobby to build up a community of like-minded<br \/>\nindividuals?<\/p>\n<p>I believe a common misconception is that you need<br \/>\na lot of traffic to earn an online income. In many<br \/>\ncases this is not true. There are plenty of sites earning<br \/>\ngood revenue with only 100 visitors a day.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a site promoting your own product or<br \/>\nproducts you only need 2 or 3 of those visitors to<br \/>\nturn into paying customers to earn a healthy daily<br \/>\nincome. Develop those customers into long-term<br \/>\nbuyers of your products and you can plainly see<br \/>\nyou don&#8217;t need that much traffic to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re promoting affiliate products like<br \/>\nme, a site receiving only 100 visitors can be just<br \/>\nas profitable as a site receiving 2000 visitors a<br \/>\nday. It just depends on how targeted the traffic coming<br \/>\nto your site is and how ready they&#8217;re to buy from<br \/>\nyou. Needless to say, selling big-ticket items also<br \/>\nhelps to increase your income.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the quality of your traffic is determined<br \/>\nby how well you have optimized your pages to receive<br \/>\nonly the interested &#8220;ready to buy&#8221; visitors. You really<br \/>\nhave to &#8220;pre-sell&#8221; your site or product BEFORE the<br \/>\nvisitor comes to your site.<\/p>\n<p>One of my most effective ways of &#8220;pre-selling&#8221; is thru<br \/>\nsimple article marketing. I write simple short informative<br \/>\nkeyworded articles on the products or sites I am promoting.<br \/>\nThis draws in only people who are actively seeking my content<br \/>\nand products. They&#8217;re in the right mind-set to buy.<\/p>\n<p>Even small amounts of traffic can be profitable if the<br \/>\nconversion rate is high. Some online marketers can even<br \/>\nearn a living by using small amounts of traffic from<br \/>\nthe PPC search engines. Although this can be risky<br \/>\nfor the beginning webmaster or online marketer &#8211; you<br \/>\nhave to know what you&#8217;re doing or you can lose your<br \/>\nshirt.<\/p>\n<p>So what if you have a website and you don&#8217;t have enough<br \/>\ntraffic and you want more?<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the methods I use to get more traffic:<\/p>\n<p>. Write articles and distribute them all over the web<\/p>\n<p>. Construct more pages on your sites directed at long-tail keywords<\/p>\n<p>. Participate in online forums and communities related to your sites<\/p>\n<p>. Use PPC advertising in Google Adwords, Yahoo! &amp; Microsoft Adcenter<\/p>\n<p>. Run Follow-up messages to keep subscribers coming back to your sites<\/p>\n<p>. Run a weekly newsletter to do the same thing<\/p>\n<p>. Use social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Digg&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>. Participate in online blogs connected with your sites<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you must also remember getting links, even reciprocal<br \/>\nlinks on popular sites will bring in a lot of traffic. So too<br \/>\nwill placing your links in FaceBook, MySpace, Linkedin&#8230; the more<br \/>\nlinks you can build the more traffic you will receive. Many<br \/>\nwebmasters forget links are also about getting traffic as<br \/>\nwell as for SEO benefits.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best strategies for getting more traffic is to<br \/>\nbe persistent. Build your traffic up over a period of<br \/>\nmonths, even years. Keep at it. Keep increasing your daily<br \/>\nnumbers until you&#8217;re satisfied with your results. And always<br \/>\nremember, even a small amount of targeted traffic can work wonders.<\/p>\n<p><b>o Social BookMarking Traffic<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Of all the things I have done to get more traffic<br \/>\nto my sites &#8211; this simple method has really produced<br \/>\nresults. Some years ago I started adding the &#8220;AddThis.com&#8221;<br \/>\nbutton to all my sites and content.<\/p>\n<p>This is a simple free program that lets your visitors<br \/>\nbookmark your content in all the social bookmarking\/media<br \/>\nsites like Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Google Bookmarks&#8230;<br \/>\nsomething so simple but it actually works.<\/p>\n<p>You just add the code to your webpages and visitors can<br \/>\nuse this AddThis button to bookmark your content.
