I'm sure you've probably heard that you need a lot of traffic to your website to make a lot of money online. Well you can get a lot of traffic using a lot of non-effective methods, or you can spend most of your time implementing quality traffic techniques that will actually bring you good traffic.
In today's lesson, I want to share with you some of my favorite ways to get traffic to my website. It doesn't matter what you sell online. You can use these same strategies (or a slight "twist" of these strategies), to boost your traffic count and get you more sales. I have been using these strategies for a long while now and I can tell you that it just flat out works. Here's traffic method number 1 that I'm talking about:
1) YouTube
I use to hide behind the camera when making my YouTube videos but yesterday, I actually went down to my local Walmart and saw a camcorder that I wanted to buy. And yes... I bought it. So far the image quality is good, and I look forward to using it a lot to develop my YouTube videos.
But anyway, you too can use YouTube to get a lot of traffic to your website. I once ran across one guy who had over 10,000,000 views from his videos, and he had over 100,000 subscribers. These are the type of numbers that can take your internet business to the next level, and in some sense... promoting yourself on YouTube can be better than using paid advertising!
I'm serious about this. YouTube is the #3 ranked website on the internet in terms of website traffic (Google is #1 and Facebook is #2. Yahoo comes in at #4). So with all of this traffic that YouTube gets everyday, do you think you can take things to the next level and start getting the loads of traffic that you are looking for? I think so. Here's another traffic method that I like:
2) SEO
SEO or "search engine optimization" simply means that you are preparing your website for optimal placement in the search engines. The 3 major search engines are Google, Yahoo, and Bing. All of these search engines are places that you can rank high in, and start getting free traffic to your site. But one thing that you don't want to do is to rely solely on search engine traffic alone.
Google is by far the largest search engine, and they change their algorithms everyday. So optimize your site and continue to do SEO, but just don't put all your eggs in one basket. You never know when an "update" will come around and will affect your search engine rankings.
These 2 traffic techniques are things that I use in my internet business today, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results that they give me. If I were you, I would learn how to use these 2 traffic methods also so that you can have the success that you're looking for in your business too.
Good luck with getting more and more traffic to your website.
