Segredos do Marketing

Search engine optimization dominates the thinking and to a large degree the marketing efforts of many small and medium-sized companies, but have you ever noticed that many of the largest and most profitable companies in the world ignore many SEO techniques.

Of course these companies have large advertising and marketing budgets that drive traffic to their websites and generate leads, sales, and most importantly customers; and they achieve these results without having to twist their Web-marketing message out of shape in order to satisfy search engine criteria.

Their prime interest is in delivering their finely crafted, focused marketing message to their audience, not to search robots. Last I heard search engines are in the business of selling you their stuff not buying yours. But these companies also know something that you don’t; they have a secret that makes their marketing work without the need for search engine appeasement. This secret is not much of a secret, in fact it is out there for all see; unfortunately most search engine crazed entrepreneurs choose to ignore it and instead look for an easy fix, a magic bullet, search engine nirvana.

Google’s Mission

Google’s success is based on two very simple facts: one, it is the best way to find what people are looking for on the Web; and two, it has parlayed this ability into a series of paid-for services. Pretty obvious stuff until you delve deeper into why and how this works. Google understands the same thing most extraordinarily successful companies understand and that is they know what you really want. The keyword here is ‘really:’ they understand the unconscious primal need to survive, to be the alpha-ape, to be first on page one of a search for whatever it is you do, because in the SEO game, if you ain’t on the leader board you ain’t in the money.

The Google Paradox

Here’s the problem: Google can only be successful as long as they deliver relevant search results to a vast Internet audience. If they fail to deliver appropriate search results people will stop using them and their paid-for services will decline. On the other hand, you as a business executive want access to Google’s vast audience, and the only way you think you can effectively gain this access is to appear on that first search page as close to the top as possible; and you really don’t give a damn how you get there. Enter the search engine optimization gurus, boffins, and Svengalis who provide the promise of survival of the most index-able.

So now we have Google who’s success is based on delivering relevant searches and SEO companies intend on manipulating this ability to place their clients on page one near the top. Google of course being a smart bunch of guys foils the SEOs by constantly changing their methods and algorithms and trumps them by placing paid-for results in the most prominent places. And the game continues, bringing in huge profits to Google and wonderfully large fees to the search engine optimization experts, leaving you paying the shot with little to show for it.

Just as an aside, I can tell you that most of our website traffic and subsequent inquiries and worldwide clients come from Google searches, and our website is mostly Flash, concentrates on Web-video and audio, and basically ignores most search optimization tricks. We rely on providing our audience and Google with relevant material.

Back to Basics

The lesson here is clear: sound marketing practices based on the way people think and act should be your number one priority, not blind faith in the manipulation of some constantly changing mathematical formula that is increasingly playing second fiddle to paid-for placement.

Persuasion Techniques

The ability to make money on the Web is not based on traffic but rather on your ability to communicate. High volume expensive traffic that leaves your site within seconds serves no financial purpose. You should be spending your marketing dollars on methods that grab visitors’ attention and deliver a focused, informative, entertaining and memorable marketing message that resonates with your audience’s unconscious desires formed in the primitive reptilian portion of the brain.

The Lustication-Justification Process

Sales are generated by creating what Clotaire Rapaille, the reigning superstar of market research, refers to as the process of lustication and justification. Lustication is the psychological trigger of desire that makes your audience want to buy your product or service, while justification is merely the rational excuse used to expend resources.

Decoding the Motivating Triggers

Rapaille’s work is all about decoding the motivating triggers that prompt a purchase. Once found, the job of the marketing effort is to stay on code. The major research effort is to get past the excuses, the justifications, the rational left brain thinking that appeases the accountants, engineers and programmers, and to get down to the nitty-gritty, the elements and primal coding that make us tick.

Rapaille believes words carry more than their literal meaning and are ripe with unconscious associations, not a surprising revelation since all communication whether verbal or nonverbal is based on the associations we make over a lifetime of experience. These shared associations form the basis of the code we are looking to play upon in our marketing.

Where most corporations and advertising agencies use focus groups as an exercise designed to cover their collective asses, Rapaille takes a different approach. As a trained psychiatrist, he organizes his version of focus groups in stages. During the first stage he allows his subjects to gain a sense of accomplishment by justifying their reasoning through logical and rational thinking that he completing ignores. In the second stage, he pursues the more relevant hidden aspects of desire, and that’s the ultimate sales trigger he’s looking for.

An Affordable Solution

Most businesses certainly can’t afford the fees of someone like Clotaire Rapaille, but if you free yourself from conventional thinking and the need to justify and rationalize everything you do then maybe you to can find the hidden triggers of desire that form the code you need to base your marketing on.

Humans have two fundamental needs, survival and improvement; these essential requirements are subdivided into our need for food, shelter, reproduction, acceptance, community, status, and knowledge; these are motivational triggers for everything your audience does and for every cent they spend. While you’re knocking your brains out competing for top spot on a Google search, the big boys are delivering what people really want, and laughing all the way to the bank.

If you want your share of the Internet pie, you best discover what really satisfies your audience’s hunger, because that’s the basis for a marketing message and website presentation that works.

page rank

In order to optimize your website you need to keep feeding it with fresh and relevant and original text regularly. Frequently updating your website and feeding it with text content, increases the frequency with which the search engine spiders visit and crawl over your website. This greatly improves your page ranking. But if you do not update your web contents regularly, then such stagnation will keep the spiders away from your website as a result of which your page ranking drops drastically.

However, not all kinds of websites have got fresh text matter to feed to their websites regularly, especially company websites that rarely have any new text contents to add to their websites and update their content regularly. Such websites can make use of RSS feeds to solve the problem of stagnated web content. For other websites, there are numerous options for feeding fresh text regularly. These options include -regularly adding new articles and other topical information to your website, adding weekly, fortnightly, monthly or bimonthly newsletters and e-bulletins to your website, providing the scope for adding testimonials, reviews and comments for your website, adding new blog posts, and several other copywriting strategies.

The content of your website must be of some practical value for the visitors and contain relevant, useful and original content that the visitors would want to read and come back for again and again. Using duplicate content or promotional material like advertisements and brochures on your website I not considered as web content in the ideal context and will not fetch you any SEO results with any of the search engines.

Ensure that the content you provide for your website is not plagiarized, stolen or copied and pasted from some other website. If it is so, then your web content will be labeled as “duplicate content” by all the search engines and your website can be excluded from the indexing of search engines. What you can do to avoid this problem is that when you source any information from other websites, you can change the text of material available in their public domain to a considerable extent and then use it in your own website. Even in the case of product descriptions (which ought to be maintained the same in the websites of the manufacturers as well as the dealers), what you can do is that you can add exclusive comments or reviews about the product on the same page in order to escape being labeled as “duplicate content” by the search engines.

In spite of providing excellent web content on all your web pages, if your page ranking still does not improve, then there must be some unidentified SEO problems that you resolve in order to enhance your site’s optimization.

The best option is to approach a reliable SEO company or linking services such as LinkVana, which can identify the problem and fix them for you, in addition to providing fresh, original and relevant web content for your website. There are a large number of LinkVana Reviews that indicate the efficiency with which this service improves the page rankings of your website in different search engines.

Finding link building a REAL headache? Let the Linkvana link building service do the work for you. You can’t go wrong with high-quality one-way links!

The Most Explosive List Building

SEO services are alive and well all across the internet. It is easy to find some SEO firms that want to charge you $5,000 a month, and some that charge $9.95. Quite a gap isn’t it? SEO price quotes are among the widest array of price ranges in any market. So with that said, what SEO price is right for you?

When evaluating SEO services it is important to consider just exactly what you are getting for the price. For example, a $5,000 firm may give you all of the bells and whistles, it sounds nice, but only major corporations would ever need such quality SEO service. On the other hand some services charging $9.95 will simply optimize every site the same way. This of course does not work because every site and every webmaster has different goals with their website or business.

So when looking at SEO price quotes: What should you pay? My personal theory is that SEO services are overrated. Many people have bought software for $150-200 and are getting better results than the people who spend thousands of dollars each month. Now I don’t want to bad mouth the high end SEO firms, they are great, but you just don’t need them.

When evaluating SEO price quotes it is always safe to stay around the $200 mark. For this price you can get great, in depth software that will solve all the needs for the average online business. Unless you make over $250,000 per year, don’t bother with the $5,000 SEO price.

So in conclusion keep your spending relatively conservative. Your extra $1,000’s can be better served somewhere else when evaluating SEO price quotes.

What Have They Been Telling You Online About Traffic?

By the word ‘they’ I mean to say that it could be just about anyone. It means you may have heard about some great tip that is short and sweet and should promise to work.

The problem with this is that those methods sometimes are not practiced by the author themselves. If they do, are there any results to show on their website. Check this as well. Let’s get started about some common traffic mistakes.

• Submit Your Website To Web Directories. Sure you can get a little boost in your ranking or traffic by submitting your website to web directories. Thing is Google will soon find out people doing this regularly just to get a listing on their search results. So, its best you go natural and write content naturally.
• Create A Blog And Ping It Or Whatever. Okay, I have to be very careful here. This really works but sometimes its not explained carefully. You can ping but do not ping more often than once a week. You see, it really makes the search bots think that you are trying to draw attention. They might discount you out.
• Advertise On The Famous Craigslist. I know you have tried this and many marketers have even did it. Don’t you think its about time you found another pool which still have some big fishes to catch? Trust me, this big website is getting a little crowded for the little guy.
• Submit Press Releases On A Regular Basis. Again, press releases should not be abused just to get traffic. It acts only as an official announcement such as when Microsoft will make a new bid to takeover Yahoo! or something. Not as a lead generation tactic. If you got a new product out, okay this is for you.
• Leave A Testimonial When You Like A Product. Please be cautious when you want to submit a testimonial to a person who created a product. Examine his credibility by seeing if your URL will be made ‘active’ which means its instantly ‘clickable’. Also, leaving your testimonial means you are giving your social approval to someone. Do not just take it lightly.

There are many other mistakes that I might not be able to mention here. Just remember that the common ones are the ones you will see very often and those marketers which are doing so are sometimes teaching stuff which worked ages ago. Learn from someone in the now and is up to date.

High Page Rank Domains

As a network marketer myself I’m familiar with the trial and error process leading to success. In an attempt to help as many as possible I’ve compiled the ten best free ways that have worked for me to drive steady amounts of traffic to my business site. It’s not an exact science because all markets differ but I’ve noticed that these methods seem to be similar across the board as they can be modified to taste.

It should be no secret that video is proving to be the most effective form of advertisement today. Whether its video on the TV, computer, billboards or even cell phones and mp3 players there’s just something about video that captivates us as humans more than all the other forms of content out there. Perhaps it’s preferred because it appeals to more human senses than any other form of advertisement. In videos our eyes can see life, our ears can hear emotion and all of this interaction gets fed directly to the brain. There’s got to be a reason people are shelling out thousands of dollars for HDTV and surround sound setups and millions of dollars for Super Bowl commercials. Maybe it’s also because humans would rather watch a video that GIVES information as opposed to reading an entry in order to GET information. Whatever the reason is, video is a trend that should be capitalized on because there’s even the chance that a video can go “viral.” This isn’t a bad thing, this is when one person sees a video and then tells someone, who tells someone and so on until you have 1 single video that’s been seen millions of times around the world. We have yet to see a precise formula that would produce a viral video but if you’re lucky enough to ever publish one it could be the pinnacle of your career.

In addition, blogging is also a great way to increase traffic to your site for a number of reasons. First, blogs should be updated often. This works to your advantage because it allows you to keep things fresh which means you can stay up to date for recruiting purposes and still be able to provide for your preexisting traffic. Also, continuously updated, or active, content aids in your SEO efforts which will lead to even more traffic in the long run. The purpose of a blog should not be to sell. A blog should be an extension of yourself as a means to communicate to others with similar interests and provide as many tools as possible. You want people to come to your blog repeatedly for the up to date information that you provide. You don’t want just one hit from each visitor because you turned your blog into a pitch page.

Next, web 2.0 sites have really been earning a reputation for themselves lately. 2.0 sites are basically sites that allow you to share and network within your niche. Similar to myspace and youtube, 2.0 sites allow you to interact with other content and groups of people that are relative to your purpose. They also allow you advertise in many other forms including video. Examples of these sites would be squidoo.com and linkedin.com just to name a couple.

Since the written word, articles have always been a great way to get the message out too. With articles you have people typing specific key words in an attempt to find specific content that they would like to read. For example the key words that you used today brought you to the article you’re reading now and we can tell that this was the desired result because you’ve chosen to read all the way to this point. Once an article is published, it can be submitted to many sites but it doesn’t stop there. Just like a video, an article can become viral as well and can even be featured on other sites, not just talked about. You want to make your articles sincere, as unbiased as possible and your goal should be to help and provide for others with your work.

Ads are of a course another great way to drive targeted traffic to your site. An advertisement can be paid for or free and still result just as favorably. Your ads must be catchy, consistent and to the point fast. An ad is not really supposed to explain a product. It’s just supposed to spark the interest in order to drive traffic to a desired site where you can then explain your product. You’ll want to do lots of trial and error with ads because different themes will work for different markets. You can try humorous, colorful or even subliminal messages but whatever you do, be sure to keep it ethical and relative. You don’t want to advertise “Free Laptops” just to drive traffic to a timeshare website.

The next method of driving traffic would be setting up links. This is not an overnight thing but it will increase your chances of success exponentially. Think of the internet as a funnel. In a funnel, everything gets directed from a large area down a narrow path to a desired destination. We can apply this same concept to the internet. If all you have is a webpage, that’s a great start but this means that the only way people can get to your site is if they actually go to their computer and type in your specific url. The chances of that happening are far less than if you have multiple links or gateways leading to your site from other places. The great thing about setting up links is that they’re free, you can have an unlimited amount which helps with SEO and they can also be applied to all of the above methods. Setting up links should be an ongoing pursuit with an endless goal.

Offering free tools is also an excellent way to drive traffic to your site. By offering free tools you allow people to sample your work without commitment and also you leave an impression as a genuine helper. It’s a very sincere way to get your name out there and develop a trustworthy reputation. Examples of tools would be a list of free advertising websites, software, or an e-book. As mentioned earlier, the goal is to get repeat visitors so be sure to offer helpful tools and be sure to keep fresh offers out as well. Your tools can also become viral especially with the right marketing and a few testimonials so make sure that you brand all of your tools. Also keep in mind that when you’re offering a free tool, sometimes asking for an email address is just the same as asking for payment. If an email is necessary than by all means ask but if it’s a free download just brand it and let it go. They’ll be back for more.

Banner exchanging is another very powerful way to increase the amount of visitors your site gets. This only works well if you’re exchanging banners with people in your niche market. This is a favor-for-a-favor way to create additional links to your site because you’ll be putting links on your page to someone else’s site in exchange for somebody doing the same for you. This should only be done when someone else in your industry is providing something that you don’t and you should always check out the other party’s reputation first before you dive into a relationship with them. If your website only sells camping equipment, you may want to consider creating a partnership with someone who sells fishing equipment. By agreeing to trade banners and pointing people in the right direction, both parties will benefit each other so the relationship can grow into something a lot more lucrative and your perceived as a helper once again, all for free. Plus, the company that you’re promoting may even be willing to pay you a commission on your referrals.

The next method I present can prove to be overwhelming and its word of mouth/joint ventures. This happens casually during just about any conversation all over the world. This is a great way to generate leads and traffic because people trust their friends and people want to help their friends. Sometimes a consumer will feel so strongly about a product that they’ll go out and buy one for themselves and everyone else close to them because they want to share the greatness of that product. Word of mouth travels so fast and its validity is almost second to none because we are all real people who engage in real conversation. We’re not just paid actors who endorse products that we’ve never used before in our life. Word of mouth usually comes with experience and should not be your primary form of generating leads if you’re a beginner.

Finally, universalizing your theme is a great idea. In other words, make it have worldwide appeal instead of just local appeal. Doing this can be as easy as displaying an alternate language option, or converting specs into other units of measurement because inches and gallons only exist in certain areas of the world. Others use centimeters and liters, as well as a different currency, so don’t do yourself the disadvantage of limiting your target market. As a personal note to those of us who live in the U.S., according to Wikipedia the United States population is estimated to be 3rd largest at 304,437,000 while the population for the People’s Republic of China is estimated to be 1,324,592,000. That’s a huge difference of 1,020,155,000 possible leads in just one other region of the world! India alone is the 2nd most populated region with almost one billion more people than the United States as well and don’t forget the other continents. These are huge numbers and can work to your advantage immensely.

Hopefully this article was beneficial in at least one or more aspects of your online business venture. Internet marketing can be frustrating at times however its always good to fall back on what’s been working well in the past. Originality can be great but remember we don’t need to reinvent the wheel.

Until next time,

Search Engine Marketing

Having a top search engine ranking is like money in your pocket. However, search engine optimization is an ongoing challenge for companies and individuals who want to drive more traffic to their sites. One of the best ways to boost your search engine traffic is to populate your site with optimized content. Here is how to create it: with a keyword optimization tool.

Keyword optimization tools perform three extremely valuable functions that are hard to find anywhere else:

a. They suggest variations on your selected keywords that you had not yet thought of yet

b. They tell you how often each keyword is actually being searched for daily on the World Wide Web (note: the higher the number of searches, the more valuable the keyword)

c. They reveal how many competing Web sites feature the keywords you want to use (note: the lower the number of competing Web sites, the more easily your site will make it to the top of the rankings)

You can perform keyword optimization yourself by using any one of a number of free or fee-based tools, easy-to-use tools. I recommend starting out with a free tool like that available from Overture (do a search on your favorite search engine to find it).

Another option, once you get the hang of things and want to go pro, is to try out for free the leading keyword optimization tool, Wordtracker®, at: http://www.Wordtracker-Free-Trial.com

If you do decide to use a fee-based tool (which I highly recommend), the investment you make in a subscription will likely pay off in just a few days of use: making educated guesses about what people are searching for is no match for taking your advice from a keyword optimization tool. And, in addition to finding keywords for creating optimized content for your Web sit, you can use your subscription to a keyword optimization tool to do a whole bunch of other value-adding activities, such as:

1. Embed your Web pages with optimized keyword meta tags;
2. Write successful articles that get ranked on the first page and above the fold of top search engines and position you as an expert in your field;
3. Do preliminary product or service testing: see what people are thinking about and looking for in different product areas;
4. Write better, more eye-catching and successful ads for online ad sites;
5. Write blog titles that get more attention for your already-chosen topics;
6. Get ideas for new blog topics;
7. Find out what terms people are searching for in general and use the terms in your traditional, offline media such as brochures and newspaper ads;
8. Write subject titles for opt-in e-mail campaigns that get people’s attention because it is what is already on their minds;
9. Test which words to use for a new content Web site you are considering creating in order to generate income from Google AdSense ads;
10. Try ideas for various product or service names to see what is hot and what is already taken; 11. Look for popular keywords and try to extrapolate microtrends upon which your business could capitalize;
12. Optimize your Pay-per-Click advertising campaigns, in terms of both ad title and keywords bidding;
13. Etc., etc., etc.!

Creating optimized content for your Web site is one of the cornerstones to boosting traffic to your site. A keyword optimization tool is a no-brainer decision for getting you the optimized content you need.

Got optimized content? If not, your site is likely missing thousands of potential hits per month. Visit our blog at http://www.jcjinteractive.com/ for free tips and techniques.

Learn how to get High Page Rank

If you have been online for long, you know that one of the keys to success is in your email list. You can have a beautiful web site, a great product or affiliate connections, and lots of traffic, and still not make much money online. And that is what you are here to do, right?

There is a multitude of options for your traffic building efforts, but each of them must be managed correctly to be profitable. For instance, if you are purchasing your traffic and your and your per visitor expense is less than a tenth of a cent, then you can have a very low conversion rate (percentage of visitors who purchase from you) and still generate a profit.

If, on the other hand, each visitor to your site costs you $3, then, for example, on a $99 product, then you would need 33 visitors just to break even. That is a 3% conversion rate which is higher than most people expect to achieve online. So just to remain in a profitable position, you would need to have a conversion rate of better than 3%.

Building a list, on the other hand, changes the whole dynamic of traffic generation. It is understood by most internet marketers that it takes at least 7 contacts with a prospects before they are likely to make a purchase from you . What that means is that if you are just sending traffic to your web site without adding that traffic to your email list, you are probably losing most of the business you could be generating.

Think about it this way. If your web site converts at 1% and the average buyer purchases after the 7th contact, you are probably losing 3-4 sales for every one you get. That 1% conversion rate should probably be 3, 4, or even 5%.

Decide how much you want to earn, then do what you have to do to earn it. Here is where you can learn how to build lists and other aspects of traffic generation.

step to get high page rank

Who Else Wants To Work Less For More Traffic?

Can I tell you a secret? You can leverage your time for more results and get massive traffic to your website just by doing a few smart time saving steps. Just remember that this is by no means hype or hope marketing.

What we are talking about here is using repeat traffic to help get you these kind of visits again and again. You know, the more exposure someone gets onto any web page the more they feel they are familiar with it. Hence, developing trust as time goes by.

Step 1: How To Get Repeat Visitors Easily

A very clear way of defining this is that if you get about 250 unique visitors a day and assuming those are fresh visits and not old ones you can certainly start using list building as a strategy. Leverage on this traffic to come to your site again and again can be done effortlessly.

Now, the way to improve your traffic is that you see the same person will visit your site 3 times if they are online for an entire month. There is a chance and that will mean 3 unique visits from that person monthly. Just don’t sell to this person and present them with a web page that offers a free gift instead of selling him and he will come back.

Step 2: Catch Their Attention And Get Subscribers

In reality subscribers can give you good targeted traffic to your sales page if you treat them right so here is how you do it. Firstly, you will need to offer your visitors something of value as I mentioned earlier.

Something that catches their curiosity and gets them to take action and sign up to your opt in list (collect their names and email addresses). Then, in that email sequence you will send to them (using an autoresponder) just give them useful free information and then occasionally repeat your recommendations on certain products for sale.

Step 3: Never Offer More Than Enough On Your Website

Now, before we go any further one thing that is very important is how you offer your free information. It is free but it should not be readily available anywhere online.

Do this by sending your subscribers information only when they are reading your emails not on the front of your web page. Your web page should only be a kind of name collecting tool and if anyone wants something from you they have to give their name and email addresses.

Finally Getting 1,000 Visits Regularly

Like I said, long term customers are made up of genuine visitors who will turn into subscribers and soon will get you the repeat visitors you want. Heck, they are your loyal fans so you can be sure they will visit your webpage as long as you send them an email regularly.

SEO, search engine optimization

Have you been banging your head against the wall trying to come up with ways to increase your website traffic without emptying your bank account?

Anybody who tells you that starting a website is a low-cost way to start a business obviously hasn’t paid for pay-per-click ads or tried to place ads in half-decent ezines.
Paid online advertising doesn’t come cheap.

However, there are no-cost or even low-cost alternatives that will cost you nothing but your time. Here are some of my favorite ways to drum up website traffic:

Free Ebook Traffic

1. Create a free ebook or report that’s filled with valuable information that people will pass around and share. This is called viral marketing because it spreads all over the Internet quickly like a virus.

Your ebook doesn’t have to be long, it can have anywhere between 15 to 50 pages to be considered valuable to people. You can fill your ebook with articles that you’ve written or pick a topic and create some valuable information relating to your website. If you don’t enjoy writing you can always hire someone to ghostwrite the ebook.

Make sure you have links throughout the ebook back to your website and that you encourage people to distribute it freely.

eBay Traffic

2. Use eBay to create traffic to your website. You do this by listing your website link on your “About Me” page in eBay and directing people to your “About Me” page within your ad listing.

You don’t even have to be selling anything directly related to your website to drive traffic to your site but selling something compatible will increase your targeted traffic (i.e. your customers will already be looking for what you’re selling and may be thirsty for more and click on your website.)

You could also use the free ebook or report you created in # 1 to sell on eBay for $.01. eBay buyers do search out penny auctions, generally to increase their feedback, but also because they’re genuinely interested in the topic.

Blog Traffic

3. Blogs have become another easy way to increase your traffic. By just setting one up you create another link into your site. People love blogs and love to read what others have to say.
By creating a blog on a subject related to your website you already have targeted visitors who won’t hesitate to click onto your website if they want to learn more information.

Setting one up is extremely easy and most blog websites are free. I recommend trying out Blogger.com as it’s operated by Google. Also, by setting up a blog on Blogger.com you can almost guarantee you’ll be picked up by Google spiders quicker than if you manually submitted your website to them.

MySpace.com Traffic

4. Using MySpace.com to advertise your website has become a new way to increase your traffic. This site is mainly a “people meeting” site but you can list your website and create friendships with thousands of people in a very short time.

You simply need to mention your website URL when you send a message to the community bulletin board. This can create a tremendous flood of traffic to your website as there are over 35,000,000 subscribers to MySpace.com.

By spending a little time and using some creativity, promoting your website doesn’t have to drain your bank account. Take some time to check out these opportunities and you’ll find yourself with a steady stream of website traffic in no time.

High Page Rank Domains

What can you do right now to create a traffic jam at your website? Well, let’s see… You can sit there and stare at the computer wishing it will happen, or you can pay someone to send you traffic, or you can put your fingers to work steering traffic to your website.

1. Create an Aura

You know how the Hollywood Lights lift up the clouds and mark the spot of the next big movie release? Well, you want that kind of aura to surround your website. Give it a highly-visible domain name and be seen on Google, but more importantly than that, give it Internet Presence.

* Links back to your website make the site more prominent on Google.

* Search engine Optimization increases visibility on Google.

* Traffic to your site increases visibility on Google.

Some will be on your website, but more will be on other sites leading and directing traffic back to your site to create that traffic jam you’re wanting to experience.
