1. Submitting to Free Major Search Engines &
Optimizing Your Website for SEO in Just Clicks
The best way to get effective and targeted traffic is through search engines. There
are two ways you can get your site listed in the search engines. One way is Pay Per
Click advertising which can be very effective and your site is instantly placed in the
sponsored results of search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. However you have to pay
each time someone clicks on your ad, which can add up to a lot of money over time.
Don't get me wrong, Pay Per Click advertising, especially with Google Adwords can
benefit in many ways, but we are going to focus on free organic traffic.
Organic traffic is where your site is listed and indexed within the search engines and you
won't have to pay for any clicks. Getting listed in major search engines such as Google,
Yahoo, MSN, etc. is very easy, but getting to the top of the search engine can be very
difficult and quite challenging. First, you must submit your site to the search engines,
and 1StopSubmit.com will submit your site to 48 of the major search engines for free.
Getting listed in the search engines after submitting your website can take anywhere
from 1-5 days to be indexed and shown up on searches depending on the individual
search engine.
However, as I indicated earlier, you want your site to appear in the top of the search
engines so that when someone does a search, they can find your site in at least the top
20. More than likely after submitting your site to the search engines, it will not appear in
the top 20 because it is brand new and needs to get optimized. This is where search
engine optimization (SEO) comes into play. Basically SEO can be very complicated and
takes a lot of knowledge on how to get your site optimized, but it is the key to getting
your site listed in the top 20. Now you can pay thousands of dollars to companies that
specialize in this service. On the other hand, this website: SeoBook.com offers free
SEO tools that you can perform on your site by yourself and get it optimized. SEO can
take a lot of work and time to get your site optimized and then it may take months to get
your site listed in the top 20 depending on how competitive the keywords are on your
site. Nevertheless the benefits will be great in the long run as you will be getting free
search engine traffic. There is also another site that will do all the SEO work for you in
just a few clicks at SeoElite.com. If you don't have the time or energy to do the SEO
yourself, this is a great tool that will do it for you.
2. How & Which Banner Exchange Programs
Produce Profits
If you're serious about making money online, you will need to get a banner for
your website. Banner-exchange works and it’s also free to display banners on other
sites. In turn you will display banners of other sites on your site. Simply by joining a
banner exchange program, you get powerful promotion of your business or affiliate
programs on hundreds or even thousands of websites. The right banner-exchange is
capable of exposing your banner to new targeted leads every day. Banner-exchanges
have in fact been around since the very beginning of the web and are far more effective
than typical text links. Banners give you the ability to show off your colors, logos,
designs, and flash animations your site has to offer. If you don't have a banner yet, you
can get a free banner with flash animation at Flashiness.com. They give you the ability
to customize your banner plus you can add your own logo or design that fits your
website.
There are many sites that claim to show so many impressions of your banner for a
certain charge, but we tend to stay away from these sites as you can't guarantee they
are actually showing your banner for a long enough period of time. Your banner could
be rotated on their site with hundreds of other banners and the inconsistency in not
being shown regularly will lose visitors. With banner exchange, your banner will be
shown on the websites that you choose so you can pick targeted sites that will generate
quality traffic to your website.
One thing you don't want to do is put a competitor’s banner on your site because this
could cost you sales by the person buying from their site instead if you're selling similar
products. Instead, you will want to put banners that have relevance or compliment your
site. For instance, if you have a website design site, you can put a banner for web
hosting because someone who needs a site designed will also need web hosting. On
the flip side, if someone is searching the web hosting site and purchases a hosting plan,
they may need a web designer to setup their site, so they would see your banner. This
is the power of targeted banner exchange.
3. How to use the 87 Million People on
MySpace.com to Your Advantage
This ever growing website has at last look, over 87 million registered users, so
you can use this as a huge networking tool to get great exposure to your website.
First you will need to setup a MySpace profile if you don't already have one. It's free to
setup an account, and you can do so at MySpace.com. Once you setup your profile,
you will want to put your website link and even give a brief description of your site so
others can see it. You can even include banners and other images on your profile to make it look attractive for people to click on your link. The key here is to add as many
friends to your profile as you can. You can start by adding other friends that you know
that are on MySpace and soon your friends list will start growing as more people see
your profile. You can also join groups that cater to your website. It's a very easy way to
get your website out there to many people and your friends list will only grow over time
and this will require no time or work on your part.
You can also send out bulletin board messages to all your friends that you have listed on
your list. Now you probably don't want to flood people with just a simple ad for your
website, but you can simply send out a joke or something along those lines that people
would read and put a simple signature at the bottom with your website URL. There are
also tools that you can use to instantly add up to 500 friends to your profile per day. It's
called Badder Adder which you may want to use this if your interested in sending out
bulletin board messages so all your hundreds or thousands of friends can see your
message and website. Go ahead and post comments on your friend’s site as your
picture will show up on the front page of their profile. Users can then simply click on
your picture to access your profile. Your friends probably have friends that you don't, so
it’s just a great way to get more exposure to your profile and ultimately lead to website
traffic.
4. Why the Power of Affiliates will Drive More
Traffic than You Could of Ever Gotten
Having someone else promote your site for you is free traffic to your site. You
usually pay the affiliate a certain percentage of the sale if one is made from the buyer
the affiliate referred. Having affiliates are one of the keys to making your site successful
because each person has their own way of bringing in a variety of traffic techniques.
For instance, one affiliate might have their own opt in email list of 50,000 subscribers
they use on a regular basis to promote various programs and websites. This is 50,000
potential visitors that you would have never received without having an affiliate. There
are many affiliates out there that are just looking for another product, program, or
website to promote. You only pay commission to affiliates that bring in sales, so you’re
never losing or putting up money before hand.
So how do you find affiliates? It's very easy if you have a digital product as you can get
your website listed in ClickBank.com as they are the number one digital processing
marketplace. They have thousands of merchants listed and many affiliates go there to
look for products to promote. Just sign up for your ClickBank.com account if you don't
already have one and get listed in their marketplace. They will handle all your
commission tracking and payment for you. If you are selling physical or tangible goods,
you could list your website in AffiliateGuide.com as they have thousands of affiliate
programs and many affiliates look to this site to find a website to promote. You can also
list in Affilorama.com as it’s a new directory that is growing that you can add your site to. It's free to list your site in these directories. However, you will need a tracking system for
your affiliates to use if you don't use ClickBank.com. One good system that you can
setup for your website and affiliates is iDevDirect.com. They will give your affiliates
unique linking codes and handle the commission and payments for you.
Another way to get affiliates is by doing a search on Google for your particular market.
For instance if you were selling an e-book on how to train dogs, you will want to contact
the sites that are listed in the top of Google and tell them about your e-book that they
can make commission on. If they are offering tips or have their own information that
caters to dogs or training and rely on ads or Google Adsense to make a profit, they
would be more than happy to add a link or banner for your site as it will increase their
revenue as well. Now you just gave yourself a link in the top of Google for good
keywords that match your product or service. This is a manual process of contacting
each site one by one and some may not even respond to you, but if you only grab a
couple of affiliates and they turn out to be super affiliates by converting sales to your
product well, it's definitely worth the time and work.
Treat your affiliates well and offer them high commissions to attract them to your website
so they can promote your product. Many digital product programs pay out at least 50%
and some up to 75% commission. For tangible or physical goods, its best to give at
least 10-20% commission on the sale. Using the power of affiliates to promote your site
can drastically improve your traffic and website ranking which will in turn get it listed
higher in the search engines. Again, its traffic and sales you would have never had if it
wasn't for your affiliates.
5. Using eBay to Drive Loads of
Traffic to Your Site
eBay is a very high traffic site and almost anyone looking to buy something online will
always go to eBay first to see if it’s available. Today, people can get great deals on
eBay and the sellers can definitely benefit from purchases on eBay by driving their
customers and more business to their website. If you intend to sell your products or
digital goods such as e-books on eBay, it looks more professional if you have your own
website with more products and can drive in more business from your existing eBay
customers. You can drive free traffic to your site by using eBay to sell physical or digital
products.

If you have digital products such as e-books or physical goods, you can list your
auctions on eBay and sell the product for a discount of what they are on your website.
As I said earlier, people that buy today on eBay are looking for a good deal and if it’s not
a good deal, they will go elsewhere because of all the competition on eBay. I'm not
going to go into profiting on eBay because this is a whole different lesson. Rather, you
are going to use eBay to your advantage of driving the traffic and ultimately the sales through your website. It only costs as little as 20 cents to list an auction on eBay and the
keys to having a successful listing to getting the most exposure for your site is to put a
link to your website right in your auction. People that view your auction will see your
website link and they may click on that link if it appeals to them to see what else you
have to offer. Make sure you put up high traffic related products. For instance, if you
sell electronics, make sure you have a Sony product or DVD player up for auction
because these are high traffic keywords that people are searching for which will in turn
get more views to your auction and website link.
The second way of driving more traffic to your website with eBay is by getting your
customers that won your auction to browse your site for more products that they might
be interested in. Simply send them an email after they have paid to thank them for the
purchase and include a blurb about what other offers you have and then include your
website link. This is very effective as it can be used for repeat business and you can
also cross promote other products on your website. If sending physical products,
include a simple note or business card with their package that includes your website link
so they can get to your website easy. You may also want to include a coupon off their
next purchase so they are more than likely to buy more from your site.
Basically, all of this traffic that you get will only cost you as little as 20 cents for your
eBay auction and as I indicated earlier, you shouldn't be concerned with making that
much money from the sale of the product. You are more interested in getting your
website link in your auction for driving the traffic to your site and relying on repeat
business from someone that bought your product from your auction.
6. The Article Marketing Viral
Everyone is looking for fresh content they can use to put on their site to keep it updated
and by writing articles about your site, you can have them published on major sites that
are ranked well and even in major article directories such as EzineArticles.com. The
benefit of writing articles is that with each article that you submit to an article directory is
that it contains a resource box that you can put a small bio of yourself, your website, and
include your website link. By submitting your articles to an article directory, anyone can
use the article for their site or as an email newsletter that would contain your website
link. It's beneficial to write an article about your website so that you get targeted traffic
when someone reads the article.
For instance, if you run a retail store online that sells outdoor equipment such as
propane grills, patio furniture, etc. you can write up an article about how propane grills
are better than charcoal grills and the benefits of propane grills. This could be an
interesting topic for people to read and put on their own website to use and then since
your website sells propane grills, they might be in the market of searching for a new
grill. Thus your website link is right there for them to click on and purchase a new grill. Once you have written your article, you can submit it to major article directories such as
EzineArticles.com or iSnare.com. Each article site is free to sign up with and they allow
you to submit the articles to be published on their site at no cost. You can also submit
your article to hundreds of article directories all at once with this software and can save
you a lot of time then doing it manually and knowing where all the article directories are
located.
If you don't have the time or desire to write articles, you can simply use other peoples
articles that they have written that come with rebrandable rights. This means that the
person will allow you to use the article that they wrote themselves and you can simply
put your website and info in the resource box. There are hundreds of articles in all
different categories that you can choose from here. Otherwise if you do want to write
your own content, but don't know where to start, a good resource is to start browsing
some of the articles on EzineArticles or iSnare and see what they have to offer. You can
get a lot of ideas to write your own article by just viewing some of the topics there. You
can also check out ArticleCashProfits.com as they show you how you can write your
own profit pulling articles on your own easily.
The other benefit of writing articles is that when someone else publishes the article on
your site, it will have your website as a backlink and each time this is done, it not only
increases your traffic, but will increase your page rank in Google so you will have a
higher search engine ranking.
