If you could get high quality traffic that would grow larger
over time to your site on a daily basis free of charge starting
tomorrow would you do it? I’m going to show you exactly how to
do that right here free of charge.
Let me be completely honest with you, after reading this, I
guarantee you will never again have to pay any money to get high
quality traffic to your website. And no, what I am about to tell
you has nothing to do with emailing safe lists, wasting your
time with traffic exchange programs, or any other cheap tricks.
What I am about to explain to you in the most simple
straightforward manner that I possibly can is by far the most
powerful way to get the most long term high quality traffic on
earth. I want you to be able to fully understand the elegance of
the system that I am about to describe to you so I let me first
give you a little background.
When I first started to market affiliate programs online I went
the pay per click route. I didn’t really know what I was doing,
but magically it seemed to work. I can’t say that I made much
money through pay per click advertising, but I did get some
traffic that actually bought through my affiliate links. The
main problem with this method was it ended up costing me just as
much as I made.
Next I tried to generate traffic the free route by taking part
in traffic exchanges and mailing to safe lists. I’m not going to
even go into detail about these methods because it didn’t take
me long to figure out that these methods just don’t work.
Next, I started advertising in ezines. This traffic method does
work and can work well, but it can also cost quite a bit of
money and does put you at quite a bit of risk. There were times
when I was mailing to ezines that cost quite a bit of money and
I didn’t even make one sale and then there were other times when
I was advertising in ezines that I spent very little and I made
some pretty good returns. It’s hit or miss most of the time and
the traffic you generate is only transient.
Next, I decided I would try to start my own ezine. It sounded
like a great idea, but it really is quite a bit of work can cost
quite a bit of money in the early phase if you’re growing your
list using co registration leads. Having your own list is a
powerful sales tool and I do think that it is something that
everyone who is serious about their internet marketing efforts
should have, but I truly don’t think it is the best way to
generate long term hands free traffic.
Why?
Because you have to email your list every time you want them to
visit a site. It’s not hands free.
Now, let me get to the point…
What’s the best traffic secret I ever learned?
Hint: I’m doing it write now.
That’s right - Writing Articles!
Writing good quality articles about subjects that people want
to read about is by far the best high quality traffic generation
tool available anywhere. The great thing is this is something
that will NEVER change.
Why?
•People want high quality free information. After all, that’s
primarily why they search the internet anyways.
•Websites need good quality content to for there sites and
ezines.
By filling in that gap you’re fulfilling a need that is mutually
beneficial to all parties involved. The reader gets great
information to read. The website or ezine owner gets quality
content. You get to stamp yourself as an authority in the field
and you get to add a link in the resource box at the end of your
article (free high quality traffic).
Gaining website traffic through writing article works through
the principle of reciprocity. You first give something of value
and then you get something of value in return. You give your
quality content to other webmasters and then they give you
traffic.
What makes this tool so powerful is its viral nature. Not only
do you get free traffic through your resource box at the end of
your article, but you also get to establish high quality links
back to your website that the search engines love. Let me say
that a different way, when you post your articles to the larger
directories you will get a free high PR link back to your site.
Further, you have an almost infinite number of chances for other
webmasters looking for quality content to post your articles to
there website.
I didn’t know how powerful this method truly was until about 3
weeks after I began posting my articles to the larger
directories. I started to see my website traffic grow and I
couldn’t really place why. At that point, I had place my article
only in three of the top directories, but when I did a Google
search for some of the titles of my articles I found my articles
on dozens of website. “Wow” I thought. I got dozens of free in
pointing links within a period of only a few weeks and I really
didn’t have to do anything to get them. It was only when I saw
this with my own eyes that I finally realized how powerful
article writing could be as a traffic generation tool. After
that I was sold.
Give it a try. It’s the best hands free traffic secret that I
have ever learned. Write a few articles and then post them to a
few directories. you’ll be surprised with your results. Best of
all it’s all free! One last tip!
After writing your articles you need a few great places to them
to, so here are my favorite places to post; IdeaMarketers,
GoArticles, and EzineArticles.
That should get you off to a pretty good start. Happy Writing!
