Traffic Traffic Traffic!

Hey, i want opinions on how to get traffic to your website, without doing local advertizement, just internet.

Do you want that traffic to turn into sales (or other lucrative actions), or just want the traffic?

I want the traffic to turn into sales

Well, first you want to have a good, quaility website. Once you have a website that is beneficial to most, things are looking up. Then, if one person goes to your site, and they benefited from it, word of mouth will spread, hence slowly more and more traffic.

Traffic? That's easy. Traffic that turns to sales? Now that requires some hard work and thinking. You don't want a site that's beneficial to MOST. You want a web site that's beneficial to YOUR TARGET MARKET. That's the first step - finding out what your market is - who your customers are. THEN build your site around THEIR NEEDS.

Your site doesn't need to be fancy or expensive. It needs to solve your customer's specific problem or fullfills their desires. There are millions of expensive and beautiful web sites online that do absolutely nothing for the business that paid for them.

That doesn't mean you can throw just anything up there and expect it to work for you. It still needs to be professional-looking.

Three important words: TARGET, TARGET, TARGET!

Jagasoft, a lot would depend on what your budget is, but as Joe stated above, targeted traffic (the one that counts), is not cheap yet most effective. If you have a budget of $100 per month, then it is still worth spending it on targeted advertising rather than falling for 250,000 targeted visitors for $39 scams. Real targeted traffic, the one you achieve through search engines, specialized categories, cost a lot, but at least you market your web site correctly.

Best,

Yes, spend your marketing budget wisely. I find that local advertising actually gets more sales, why not try it?

Determining your niche market is key (similar to the ANVANA post). Finding the right phrases and getting inbound links to pages focused on those phrases from sites themed similar will move you in the direction you desire.

Consider this...

When a salesperson tells you to buy, what do you do? If you are like most people you back off.

When multiple people tell you that so and so business has a great product or service, you start to pay attention. The same holds true on the web regarding search engines. Getting themed inbound links from multiple sites is very much like personal referrals. The better quality the sites, the better the referrals. :thumbup:
