4 Ways To Drive Targeted Traffic To Promote Your Affiliate Products
November 20, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Traffic is essential if you want to make money online with affiliate marketing. However, not all traffic is good when you are promoting an affiliate product. You need to drive target traffic so as to increase your sales conversion rate. So what do I mean by targeted traffic?
For example, if you are an affiliate of an online florist which sells flowers in Singapore. You decide to use Google Adwords to start driving traffic to your landing page. However, not all keywords related to flowers will be useful. People typing in “Singapore Flower” may wish to know the flower that represents Singapore. On the other hand, people typing in “Online Florists Singapore” will be more likely to buy flowers online. So even though there will be people clicking through your ads that bid on the keyword “Singapore Flower”, they may not be the targeted traffic that you are looking for.
Now, let me share with you 4 ways whereby you can start driving targeted traffic to promote your affiliate products:
1. Google Adwords. Google Adwords allows you to place advertisements on Google, by bidding on selected keywords or key phrases that you think your target consumers may type as search queries. If you bid on the keyword “online florist”, when searchers type in “online florist” in Google, your advertisement will appear on the right hand side of the search result page of Google. Adwords can be the most effective way to drive targeted traffic to promote affiliate products, as long as you choose the right keywords to bid on.
2. Write articles. When you write articles about the topic that is related to the product that you are promoting, you are attracting readers who are interested in that subject to read your articles. If they like your content, they will visit the link in your Author Resource Box and find out more about the product that you are promoting.
3. Create a blog. You should create a blog with information related to the industry that you are in. For example, if you are into the forex niche, you can set up a blog and share your knowledge on forex with your readers. If you provide quality content and your readers start to trust your expertise, they will be more receptive to any forex products that you are promoting to them through your blog.
4. Forum marketing. This is another great way to drive traffic and promote affiliate products. However, do not ever think of registering to a forum and start posting a thread to promote your products directly. This is called forum spamming. You will not get any affiliate sale from this. Instead, join a forum that is related to the product or industry that you are in, and start to contribute valuable pointers to the forum. As your reputation starts to gain in the forum, members will visit the link that you place in your signature and you are now driving valuable traffic to your website.
There are still many other great methods to drive traffic when it comes to affiliate marketing. The 4 methods above are my favourite as they work very well for me. Hope that you will be able to see good results from these 4 methods too.

Avoiding SEO Brain Freeze Part 6: Attracting Targeted Visitors and Links
November 17, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
If you’ve been following along with the SEO Brain Freeze series and using your own website as a guinea pig, by now you should have researched your keyword phrases, created a keyword phrase map, tested out terrific Title tags, managed to make marvelous Meta description tags and have written awesome keyword rich copy for the most important pages of your website.
Phew! Are you tired yet? You may very well be, but I bet you don’t have SEO brain freeze!
If you have done all of the above on-page work correctly and have uploaded everything to your server, after a month or two you should most likely be seeing a substantial increase in targeted search engine traffic. The good news is that if you’ve done everything right, this targeted traffic will continue to increase for quite awhile — good SEO work only gets better over time. (It’s only search engine tricks that need to keep changing when the ranking algorithms change.)
That said, on-page SEO as I’ve been teaching you so far in this series, is only half the battle. The search engines also place a ton of emphasis on the popularity of your website as a whole. The way they measure this popularity is via links, i.e., which websites link to yours and how prominent they are. The more links from popular websites pointing to yours, the more popular your own website becomes in terms of its traffic and its importance in the eyes of the search engines.
If you’ve been working on a website that’s been around for a few years, chances are that it already has a number of links pointing to it from other websites. Depending on what you are offering on your site and how competitive those offerings are, you may or may not already have enough links to gain a leg up in the search engines. If there aren’t tons of other sites already offering the same or similar products, services and/or information, it may not take more than a handful of good quality links to do the trick. On the other hand, if you are in a more competitive space (and those are growing every day), you will probably need to put some effort into making sure that your website goes beyond what everyone else is offering. You just can’t do the same thing as everyone else online and expect to get very far.
The other necessary step to popularize your website is to get the word out about it. In order to do this, you need to find out where your target market is hanging out online and become part of those communities. I’m not talking about going in and dropping links to your website at relevant forums and blogs here. I’m talking about becoming an actual part of the conversation. You must become a recognized participant. It is only then, that what is now known as “social media marketing,” can work for you.
One of the reasons this form of marketing works is that people like to do business with those that they know. If you are part of the same online community as someone, and you have daily or weekly contact with them there, you really do become friends of a sort. When they’re looking for products or services such as yours, it makes sense that they would think of you first. It also makes sense that if they have the opportunity to tell others about you, your business and your website, that they will do so because they like you. They may do that through word of mouth referrals, but they may also do that by linking to your website from their own.
There are other opportunities to become part of the online conversation such as starting a blog or an email newsletter. But be forewarned, if you go these routes, there will be a whole lot of work involved. Reaching a critical mass of readers doesn’t happen overnight. Yet, if you work hard at it by keeping a schedule and writing unique and compelling content, eventually you will find it will pay off for you in the same way as participating in other communities does. Only in this case, it can pay off even more because you have the ability to really showcase yourself and even position yourself as an expert if you so choose.
Blogs are more fashionable than email newsletters these days, but I’ve personally found huge success out of my email newsletter in terms of bringing targeted visitors to my website who convert into customers. (The newsletter the High Rankings Advisor if you’re interested in subscribing!)
However you choose to do it, just know that you can’t simply stick up your website and then sit back and wait for people to notice it. You will have to work a lot of long hours making it great and getting the word out about it. Websites are no different than any other business – they all need marketing to survive.

Targeted Traffic With Adwords
November 12, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
One of the most important aspects in internet marketing is to have a highly targeted traffic visiting your site. Every webmaster knows the importance of driving quality traffic to a website. The design of the website is just one factor that may affect the success of a particular website. You may have a great product or services to offer and an eye catching website design, but if you fail to use the right techniques to advertise your site, you may not be able to drive quality traffic to your website. If you want your website to succeed or increase your profits, driving highly targeted traffic to your site should be taken into account. One effective strategy to drive targeted traffic to your site is by making use of Adwords, an advertising service offered by Google.
You may be thinking right now on how to make use of Google Adwords. If you have been doing internet marketing for a while, you should be aware that the largest part of people searching around the globe is using Google search engine. Due to its vast amount of user everyday, many webmasters are really serious in getting their website listed in Google search results. Because a high website ranking in Google searches result can mean a high traffic for the website. The search engine result page is also used by the advertisers to promote their products and services through ads and links. As a result, Google launched Adwords to let businesses promote their products or services to highly targeted visitors. And by using Google Adwords, you can guarantee to have instant traffic to your website. By using Adwords, Google will display advertisers’ relevant ads within its search engine results page termed as “Sponsored Links”. So basically, when a relevant keyword was searched within the search engine, Google will display relevant link ads that appear on a separate section giving an excellent visibility to the sites listed.
So how can we make use of Google Adwords? Needless to say, we have to create an account first to use Adwords service. Then while creating a campaign, you must indicate your target language and country. This step is very important because we want to make sure that our advertisements will be only shown to those countries where our product can be sold. After indicating our target countries, we now have to create an ad group. This includes creating the advertisement itself, selecting your targeted keywords, and setting your maximum bid or cost that you are willing to pay every time the user clicked on your ads. The most important part in creating the ad is the headline that will grab attention of your target visitors. When creating the ad, make sure that you describe your website clearly and accurately. Conveying a clear message through your ads is the most effective part in advertising. By doing this, you can make sure that you are attracting qualified individuals that eventually may convert to a sale.
There are literally many types of keyword research that you can use to build a list of highly targeted keywords. By having targeted keywords, the chance of closing a sale eventually increases. Broad match is targeting keywords in a freely distinct method. In broad match, your ads will appear based on your keywords queries as compared to exact match, the ads will only appear if the exact keywords were queried by the searcher.
After you have created your headline tag for your ad, you now have to set your daily budget to optimize your ads exposure. Although Adwords suggest a daily budget for your campaign, it is far better to set your own daily campaign budget based on suitability. You should also determine your maximum cost per click and Google Adwords also recommends you a cost per click. But again, you don’t need to put what Adwords have suggested because you are still the one who will decide on how much you are willing to pay for every click that your ads will get.
So basically, Google Adwords is a very powerful tool that an internet marketer can use to get not only maximum exposure for your website but also to drive qualified traffic to your website. Although, Adwords is one way to get targeted traffic, you should not rely alone to Adwords in driving highly targeted traffic to your site.

The exposure which you can get with this marketing strategy is huge because some of these article syndication sites have a significant readership following.
Most article syndication sites allow you to post your content for free. Once published, your content becomes available for all to see, and can be republished on other sites.
Most of these article directories allow you to include html links in your articles resource box (I do not advise you to publish articles to sites which doesn’t allow this, otherwise you waste your time).

Methods like search engine optimization, website directories submission, social bookmarking are very efficent as website promotion strategies, but none of these methods will bring you the results you can get with article marketing. Website promotion is crucial for online success.
The more popular your website is, the more organic traffic you get from search engines. Popularity can be gained in time by gathering back links to your website. But if you want to get an immediate result then you should use article marketing.
