Not Just Any Traffic!
The one thing which is absolutely critical, if you
want to make money on the internet, is that you must
be able to generate traffic.
After all, you can have the greatest product in the
world, but if nobody knows about it you aren’t going
to makeany sales.
There is a saying that goes, “nothing moves without a
sale.” When it comes to the Internet a sale does not
occur, if you do not have website traffic.
There are three types of traffic:
- Free traffic
- Performance traffic
- Paid traffic.
Free traffic is generated from sites like MySpace,
YouTube and from Blogs. By free, I mean you don’t
have to pay money for the traffic.
Performance traffic is traffic that you do not pay to
get, but you pay if something happens. Like having
affiliates selling for you. Let’s say you are giving
(paying) your affiliate 50% of the sale. You only pay
your affiliates when they generate sales. That is paid
based on the performance of the traffic that was
driven toward the website.
Paid traffic. Finally there is paid traffic. Probably the
most popular paid traffic program is Google
AdWords. This is a simple program where you have
Google display your ads in their search engine results
as well as on other related websites. When people
click on your ads to go to your site, you pay a certain
amount they you have agreed to in advance.
To really succeed continuously on the Internet, you need to utilize
all three types of traffic described above. There is not one
perfect way or one hallowed path for generating traffic.
It’s more of having multiple methods of generating traffic that are
efficient and effective. Methods that work together as a system
to give you the expected results.
Your traffic generation strategy should consist of as
many efficient and effective ways as you can
properly manage to ensure you get the maximum
traffic directed to your website so that you get the
greatest profits possible from the same traffic generation efforts.
