If you're just searching the web or have a affiliate website online, guess what? Visitors to your website is very important. Also the websites you visit help the owners get free traffic. Imagine traffic as a major highway full of automobiles searching for a exit. And the exit is your website.
One lane could be Comcast, MSN, AOL, Qwest; these are all lanes on the highway. Imagine the cars as millions of people traveling down the highway. Now guess what the exits are? Websites or weblogs! And guess what your desired goal should be? To get as many cars to YOUR exit as possible.
I'm going to show you how to increase online traffic FREE. Meaning as in the example above; show you how to make your exit shine brighter than all other exits. Drawling vehicles to your exit. If you're not familiar with a technique called "keyword optimization" you can spend major dollars alone doing this.
I don't know everything about increasing online traffic; but what I do know are simple techniques to draw free visitors to your website or web log. I'll give you the basics to keep this timely and simple. If you like in-depth information I'll leave my contact information before ending the article.
The majority of this information is for affiliate marketers because this is what I do, sale affiliate products. There is usually no startup cost, you receive a free affiliate website, and ClickBank.com has thousands of great products worth selling, check them out.
Now unless you have money for mega advertising that's good! But for the average affiliate marketer, this is not the case. You see the whole reason behind affiliate marketing is saving time and money! Now here is where your cost comes in, and you're trying to avoid extra cost, right?
If you are familiar with Pay-Per click advertising which is effective but costly. Visit: Enhanced.com or AdWords.google.com for more pay-per click information. But our main purpose is to get free visitors to your website.
Now your plan should begin with the proper (keywords) for the product you're trying to sale. Example: if you're selling apples your main or primary keyword should be apples. But this keyword is too general meaning competitive. Because there are literally thousands of people selling apples online. As a beginner you must work your way to the top.
Your goal should be to start at the bottom and climb to the top of your particular product market. So for your keyword you want to describe your product. So your keyword or key words should be (Little red shiny Apple).
Now there are search engine tools online available to verify if people are searching for your particular product. These tools show you exactly what people are typing into the Google, Yahoo or Alexa search engines when looking for your particular product. So to increase online traffic in the search engines you will need: freekeywords.wordtracker.com
Or you can simply type the words "free keyword tools" in any search engine and use those provided. When using these keyword tools simply type in the name of the product you are selling. Then start from the "very bottom" analyzing the keywords that best describe your product.
These are generally called (Long tail keywords). Remember your website success to increase online traffic is all about effective keywords. For more detailed information about the effective use of keywords please visit: goodkeywords.com they have free tools and information.
Once you have found the right keywords for your affiliate product, now let's change our affiliate website link to match the keyword we've chosen. Remember in our early example: Apples is your primary keyword, and (Little red shiny Apple) is your Long tail keyword.
Now affiliate links do not look pretty. These links are designed to credit you for your sale of a particular product. ClickBank.com affiliate links look like this: http://candyc77.apples.hop.clickbank.net my tracking affiliate code is candyc77. I get paid through this code.
Let's make this link more presentable to search engines and viewers. A great website at http://www.shortURL.com will allow you to make your affiliate link look like this: Apples.2fortune.com instead of the ugly long coded original affiliate link. Also giving you a .com highly ranked link for only $1.88 a year.
Now with your effective list of longtail keywords and your new pleasant looking affiliate link. Let's increased online traffic with a Web log, better known as a blog. Go to www.blogger.com or WordPress.com and get your FREE weblog.
I don't have time to explain the awesome advantages of using a Web blog instead of a website promote your affiliate products. The RSS feed advantages are tremendous and you can learn more at whatever Web blog site you choose to join above.
The RSS feed is already installed so you don't have to worry about that, just enjoy promoting your product. And no this one thing,(search engines love RSS feed) Now when promoting your affiliate website with your new Web blog use your primary and secondary and long tail keywords to promote your affiliate website.
Remember in the earlier example, your primary keyword was apples which is to competitive for now. You might use (candy apples) as your secondary keyword but this is still to competitive for the beginner. To increase online traffic you should begin with "longtail keywords".
As I stated earlier (Long tail keywords) are phrases with 3 or more words in the phrase. You have a smaller audience using Long tail keywords; but this is where you start for free search engine traffic.
Use all of these keywords in the paragraphs of your web blog to describe your affiliate product. Also include your more pleasing affiliate link you made from http://www.shorturl.com. The example Link: Apples.2fortune.com using a highly ranked .com address can certainly increase your online traffic.
Now if you really want to increase online traffic once your web blog is up and working and you are making posts daily or weekly. Visit: http://www.technorati.com this website keeps track of ALL web blog's. By clicking on blog on their website you can view the blog's that are related to yours. Learning from others is always an advantage. Don't forget the homework of studying the above websites I gave you.
Find your market and see what others are talking about! There you have it, this is a general guideline, due to time constraints. But if you follow these simple procedures you will see a increase in online traffic. Again using good Long tail keywords and a Web blog will give you an advantage.
