What to Know About Paid Traffic
November 11, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Everyone is already aware of paid and free ways of getting traffic to your web-site. Free ways of getting traffic are organic traffic from search engines, link exchanges and links in social network sites. However, these free ways are not the topic of this article.
This article is about paid ads that get traffic to your web-site. Many of you might ask: why would someone pay for it, if there are free ways of getting traffic? The answer is straightforward. Paid offers help you get specific traffic of higher quality. Under ’specific’ and ‘higher quality’ I mean traffic of visitors that really want to get to your site and visitors how are already searching a product to buy.
There are two models of charging for ads. Some charge you for how many times your ad has been show in their network. That is the case when you place a banner in a site similar to yours. The advantage of it, is that it is quite cheap. Some ads wholesalers only charge you a couple of cents for dozens of impression (that is, how many times your site has been shown).
The second way of charging for ads is how many times a visitor actually came to your site. That is know as Pay per Click (aka PPC). The advantage for you is that you know that a user actually has interest in something that he clicked and that you only pay for real visitors that came to your site.
When buying traffic, consider carefully the source of this traffic. There is a huge difference between buying traffic from pop-ups and pop-unders than buying traffic from ads places in mainstream search engines. You will see that in the first case it is much cheaper, however, this price has its reasons. People who click on pop-ups often didn’t want to do that, it just happened and they came to your site without interest at all. The CLR is clearly lower in price and in quality.
If you know how to deal it, PPC from mainstream search engines has the best result, but also the higher initial cost. Setting the right keywords can be a tricky business. They should meet a trade-off between being cheap enough and being relevant enough. With time and checking your site statistics carefully, you will get a much better deal from commercial ads. If you sell, for example, snow blowers, you don’t care if people from Florida is clicking on your ads. If you are in the real estate business, you only want local lead to your site.
Remember that pay-per-click marketing campaigns can be pretty expensive in the hands of an inexperienced webmaster. Try at least to get an expert on boat to evaluate your strategy. There are several pitfalls out there for a novice and even if major ads wholesalers won’t try to scam you, they only aggregate offerings of minor sites, that sometimes want to get your bucks away. So watch out for strange patterns like many users from the same IP coming to your site at once.

How I Got 70,000 Useless Visitors to My Site in One Day! ( Analysis of Social Bookmark Traffic)
November 10, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Copyright (c) 2007 Titus Hoskins
Recently, a page on one of my websites was bookmarked or listed on Digg, a popular social bookmark site. It gave me the perfect opportunity to study and analyze the traffic coming from these social media sites. Read to discover the advantages and disadvantages of social bookmark traffic and how it can be applied to your own online marketing or site.
Is Social BookMark Traffic Useless?
First, we must make the distinction that no traffic is useless. Any visitor to your site is a good thing and should be welcomed. However, all traffic is not created equally, there are great differences in the sources of your traffic. This article takes a close analytical look at social bookmark traffic from an internet marketing perspective.
In case you haven’t noticed, right now social bookmark and media sites are all the rage on the web. Social bookmark traffic comes from such popular sites as Slashdot, Digg, Stumbleupon… basically these sites are driven by their users – that is, users or members pick and bookmark the content they want to view and discuss.
These social bookmark sites are extremely popular; they command the high traffic numbers most ordinary sites can only dream about obtaining.
But is this social bookmark traffic useful?
Is it worth your time? Should you be actively promoting to these social media sites? Should you concentrate your online marketing efforts on these types of sites? More importantly, what are the benefits and disadvantages of getting a front page listing on a sites like Digg or Stumbleupon?
As a full-time online marketer I wanted to know the answers to those questions. Moreover, I wanted to discover how or if I could use these sites from an online marketer’s advantage; i.e. how can they help me create more online income.
Recently, the Digg listing gave me a first-hand opportunity to really study these sites.
Of course, nothing happens without a reason… I did actually court these social bookmark sites by placing the free Addthis.com bookmark on all my pages. You can do the same. Just use this simple bookmark to attract these sites.
But be careful; getting your site featured on the front page of these sites can drive 100,000’s of visitors to your site immediately, so much traffic that it may overtax your server and crash it.
So be warned; if you’re actively promoting to these social bookmark sites just make sure your servers or web hosting is up to the demanding task of handling all these sudden visitors.
In my case, it didn’t crash my servers but unfortunately, the page/link in question featured an old poorly written article I did on the history of the Internet. Why it was even featured on Digg is a puzzle and beyond me.
But still I am not one to waste an opportunity, so I put my Google Analytics into overdrive and starting analyzing these visitors and social bookmark traffic.
It pointed out some very interesting factors about this bookmark traffic.
Most of this traffic will:
* simply bounce back
* very few visitors will spend much time on your site
* very few visitors will even venture into your site
* very few will sign-up to your newsletter
* very few will enter your marketing follow-ups/funnels
(The unknown variable here being the content on your site, how good it is? How well does it perform?)
Regardless, one common problem with traffic from these sites, it’s very temporary traffic. The high volume will only last a few days… until your item is moved back from the front page.
These visitors will not stay on your site long and most are gone within seconds, never to be seen again. A few may sign up to your newsletter or venture to other areas of your site but not many.
Social bookmark traffic is very fleeting, like customers in the drive-thru section in a fast food restaurant, they grab the content and surf back to the major linking site very quickly and surf on to the next item.
This traffic will behave very differently than organic traffic from the search engines, or from your newsletter traffic or from traffic in your marketing funnels. Much different.
It was unlike getting one of my articles featured in Addme or SiteProNews, where I can easily get 200 or 300 new subscribers in a day. Plus, these visitors are interested in my information and have been exposed to my content (article) before coming to my site.
So there was no comparison; I would take the traffic from these sites any day over traffic from the social bookmark sites. And I would take free organic traffic from the search engines over any other source of traffic.
So the question remains – is social bookmark traffic useless?
First, as I mentioned before, you must realize no traffic is useless; any visitors to your site is a good thing. Without traffic your site is worthless, just a few files sitting on a server in the middle of nowhere.
Obtaining visitors is one of your first objectives as a webmaster. You must get visitors to your site or it’s game over.
The best kind of traffic is traffic coming from organic search, visitors who come from the search engines seeking exactly what you’re offering on your site. These are targeted visitors who will consider your offer, real your information, maybe buy a product or sign-up to your newsletter or follow-up system. They often become repeat visitors to your site. These are your ideal visitors. This is the kind of traffic you want.
Social bookmark/media traffic is different but it does have some saving graces.
Mainly it can help expose your site to millions and help brand your site or business. It can get the word out about your site. Start a buzz.
If you have a site that appeals to the mass market, then these social sites could be an excellent recruiting ground for visitors and traffic.
These social sites are good for another reason; getting your links on all these high traffic, high PR7 and PR8 sites can’t hurt your search engine rankings. Once featured on a site like Digg, your link will appear on many secondary sites around the web, so far 500+ and counting. Monkey see, monkey do. Although it has never been my main ambition to get featured on Fark.com, all these sites do have high PR ranks so from a SEO standpoint it is not necessarily a bad thing.
Since many of these visitors will be using the Firefox browser which has the Alexa toolbar embedded – your site’s traffic rank will increase. Over 50% of the bookmark traffic coming to my site were using the Firefox browser. Alexa’s traffic rankings are not a true picture of the web’s traffic but it’s a good measuring stick, nonetheless.
Google might even consider it when ranking your site. Google basically considers their whole indexing system as a democratic voting structure… sites give a vote by linking to your content; wouldn’t it also be reasonable to assume more traffic means more votes. So wouldn’t getting a lot of traffic or being featured on a site like Digg where the users vote to propel the best content to the front be the ultimate vote.
One strange thing I did notice, for some reason the traffic from Stumbleupon was different. These visitors stayed longer on my site and reacted more like organic traffic. Maybe the Stumbleupon site is of a higher quality and this may have been reflected in the quality of the visitors coming from there. It also reminded me, all traffic from these social media sites can’t be judged with the one brush.
This whole experience also pointed out another important factor; it made me realize how unsuited my content is for the general web surfer or the mainstream web. All my sites and content were planned and organized to first draw in targeted (warmed up) visitors from free organic search and from my online articles.
If I or anyone wanted to take advantage of this social media traffic, you would have to create your site/content to appeal to these surfers and then somehow draw them into your marketing funnels. I don’t know if the majority of the users of these bookmark sites would make good prospects, but my guess is not very likely, the nature of the beast. But it would largely depend on what you’re offering on your site and how well it is suited to these users.
So I am not drawing any conclusions yet.
Hopefully, I will have further chances to study traffic from these social sites and get the long-term effects, especially in regards to my keyword rankings in the search engines before making any final judgments.
For now I will keep an open mind but the jury is still way out whether or not social bookmark traffic is worth the interruption to the daily marketing tasks of your site. Just seems like much ado about nothing.

Organic Traffic: How To SEO Your Site For Free Traffic
November 9, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Optimizing your site for free traffic is crucial when building a website. Having an optimized site will not only save you a lot of money in advertising, but will always be working for you.
In order to have the success you surely would like for your website to have, this is one tool that will deliver that directed search engine traffic that you want. Organic search engine hits are the best and, if you can receive all organic hits, then your site is going to be very valuable. This is particularly true if you were to consider selling your website sometime down the road. Here are a few tips to get you started.
1. The first way to start optimizing your site for organic SEO traffic is to do link exchanges. You will want to find other sites whose content is of the same or similar theme as yours. Then, you can request that they place your link on their page in exchange for you doing the same for them. Obviously, the more of this you do, the more benefits you will see, so you can employ this tactic as much or as little as you like. Websites like linkmetro and what not is one example of such a site that allows for such link-sharing relationships.
2. The second technique you want to employ is setting up links with sites that are highly ranked and are related to your content. This tactic is closely related to the first, but allows you to expand upon simply exchanging links and optimize such link exchanges. You can also keyword optimize your anchor test for your link so that you have keyword optimization working for your in addition to effective link sharing. This technique is so important for organic SEO traffic because this is what search engines look for when they are determining the level of quality and worthiness your site has.
3. The third tactic to employ involves the optimizing of anchor text. First, while you are writing your anchor text, it is very important to have a few different variations. Use different keywords so that you can receive traffic from a variety of different keywords and keyword phrases individuals you want to market to may be using. Using different keywords helps prevent the distribution of duplicate content, something you always want to avoid.
Finally, keeping the content of your website fresh is very important to climbing the ranks of search engines. Setting up a content creation program that will allow you to add new keyword optimized content pages to your website will keep your site new and constantly refreshing. The more you introduce fresh content to your site, the more often the search engine spiders will have made their way to review and re-rank your site. The more that happens, the more your site moves up the ranks, delivering all the more organic SEO traffic that is the power behind the most powerful sites of today. So, now that we have that taken care of, go and turn your site into all that you dream of.

When this training session originally took place there was a 1000 people on the line and they maxed the line out and many couldn’t even get on! This is not stuff you want to take lightly, sincewithout these strategies and methods you have very little chance of success using Internet marketing. Envision having thousands go to your site each week and then call or email you requesting you to share your business with them. This is a Fact: Some are getting these results!Your website or product’s profitability and success is directly reliant on the amount traffic, qualified traffic, you can acquire. Consider how profitable you could be if your potential customers found your website near the top of search results for the keywords used in your industry. The process of getting your website to the top of the search engines is known as search engine optimization (SEO). Internet marketing analysis and investigations have proven time and time again that in the greater part of cases organic search engine optimization strategies (Organic/natural SEO services) are far more cost efficient than pay per click (PPC) advertising. As an Internet marketing approach, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. SEO establishes your website to reach a larger audience of online customers that are already searching for products and services like yours.Search engine optimization (SEO) is the progression of improving the volume or worth of traffic to a web site from search engines via un-paid or “natural”(”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which has to do with with paid inclusion. The acronym “SEO” can also mean “search engine optimizers,” a label adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Optimizing a website chiefly involves editing its subject matter and HTML and associated coding to both amplify its relevance to precise keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Search optimization is a ultra-competitive endeavour that requires intense focus and a complete, up-to-date knowledge of how the search engine algorithms and robots operate.Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves focusing on consumers by optimizing web pages in your sit to show up for the particular keywords and key phrases. With the advancements made in performance tracking and analytics, it is feasible to initiate an SEO campaign and gauge its effectiveness “in real time” to determine which sales strategies and conversion funnels (marketing tactics landing pages or keywords) are gaining the most significant traction through consumer response.SEO companies that use overly aggressive strategies can get their Customer’s sites banned from the search results. An SEO method is considered white hat if it conforms to the search engines’ guidelines and involves no trickery. Black hat SEO attempts to improve rankings in ways that are disapproved of by the search engines, or encorporate deception. The contention between SEO supporters and PPC fans about which is the most effectual internet marketing strategy is as old as SEO and PPC themselves. Many search engine marketing conferences are held throughout the year which can help you meet and learn from many well known SEO professionals. If you write a blog It would be very helpful to read the Blogger’s Guide to SEO.If you head on over to my Blog I have a link to my mentors Raymond and Ferny’s Blog, as they just posted an amazing training video on Generating Google Traffic.

Building Your Site Traffic Through a Good Link Building Strategy in 2009
In the seo world there are a few things you need to consider. First you need to make sure that you write your site naturally and in a very compelling way to the reader. Entice your readers with compelling content and they are sure to tell a friend, link back to your site from theirs or other blogs they write to, and if your site is interesting enough they will bookmark it or even write their own social network hub talking about your site.
Once your site is written and looks good, you will want to go back over it to set it up for on page optimization. This is only 10-20% of seo but if you think about it all your off page seo tactics depend on the on site value. It’s a lot like how a site promoting a meditation CD is the most important part in getting them to purchase it but if your site hypes them up and the product itself doesn’t deliver then they will never trust you again even tell their friends how you promise and don’t deliver.
Setting up your on page optimization is simple, just sprinkle a keyword people will most likely use when searching for your site in search engines about 6-8 times within the page, working it in NATURALLY to the content itself. Keep your page under 800 words in length, people like to read compelling articles but don’t over do it.
Your off page optimization will entail getting quality backlinks to your site and by quality I mean links from what are called authority sites. There are a few good ways to do this that are simple and effective. The most effective is to write articles for authority wordpress sites. This article should be around 500 words and should be written well. You include a link back to your domains main page in this article to provide you with a linkback. Write about 4 of these a month and over time you will build up an arsenal of linkbacks from authority sites. This takes time but is well worth the effort.
You should also get accounts with the major social networking sites like hubpages and squidoo and write a few pages on there too, including a link back. These are authority sites as well so your linkback will carry weight. There are services that you can write 100 word blogs with a link back to your site that will distribute these blogs naturally across several authority sites as well. You should sprinkle about 30 of these snippet blogs a month through them. They distribute them over several weeks so it’s a natural way to provide linkbacks quickly for your site. Make sure your blogs are quality and on topic.
You will want to use a keyword that directly talks about your site as the anchor text and the linkback points to your main page as well a several of your internal site pages. Between the article submissions, web 2.0 sites, and these blog networks you can generate an enormous amount of link popularity and you do it while adding valuable content to the web. The articles and blogs you submit will be there for ever so as long as you continue to provide new linkbacks every month the power of your efforts will only get stronger. For example if you publish 4 article submissions, 2 web 2.0 articles, and 30 blogs per month, at first it will be a small number of linkbacks (all be it all authority links so they hold alot of value) but after 3 months you will have amassed 90 linkbacks in blog sites, 12 article submission linkbacks, and 6 web 2.0 articles linkbacks.
Although your submitting the same effort each month your added linkback providing articles/blogs become more powerful because of the stack of linkbacks previously. In the search engines eyes if your old linkbacks age and no new ones are created your site’s ranking will diminish but if you bring in just a few new linkbacks every month all the old ones become incredibly valuable. The new ones are like watering the old ones as well as providing more link popularity as well!

Advertise Your Website For Free – Use Twitter For Free Website Traffic
November 5, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Most of you know by now what Twitter is and how it works. You may even have a Twitter account and some of of your friends following you. But, do you know how to use Twitter to advertise your website free? I’m not talking about a couple hundred more followers in months…I’m taking about THOUSANDS of Followers in a few months.
Wait a minute, you haven’t heard about Twitter?
Twitter is a “micro-blogging” site that allows you to post short “tweets” or posts about your daily activities. Or your thoughts. Or your products. Or anything. Not to sound trite, but Twitter is the new My Space/Facebook. Twitter is the “it” site. And YOU can still get in there early and be a superstar.
How early is it?
Well, Oprah just joined a few months ago. Oprah is the Queen of Marketing and Mass Communication, and she just joined.
Twitter followers are just like MySpace friends, or Facebook friends. These are the people that will read your Tweets. For those of you that are using, or are going to use Twitter for marketing purposes, you will need a completely automated Twitter growth system if you want to set a system up once and forget about it.
So, how much and how fast can you grow your Twitter following with an automated system?
How does 20,000 new Twitter followers in 6 months grab you? How about 500 new Twitter followers in 24 hours? Does that wake you up, grab hold of you and shake you a little?
All these followers can translate into “organic” traffic for your website or blog. You don’t have to be an international celebrity to be a Twitter Superstar.
