Another technique we can learn about is through the use of Pay per Click advertising. Also known as PPC, Pay per click advertising is a fantastic way to generate tons of traffic to website, given that we know how to use it. Unfortunately unlike other tools we have discussed before, PPC is not free. But don’t frown. It has its own reason. I wanted to introduce this technique because for those that do have money, it’s one of those sites where you can get immediate traffic.

The techniques and tools we have discussed before probably require quite a bit of work to get traffic. But with Pay per Click, you will only need minimal work to get it, but it does cost money. For example, if we type “food recipes” in Google and search for it, you will see that apart from the search results, you will also get those ads on the right side.

In Pay per Click, what you can do is to bid on specific phrases and depending on how much you bid, that will be how high your ad can get. Because of these, it can result to a lot of tremendous traffic but, take note it can also result to a tremendous loss. Pay per Click can be very strict and brutal as long as you don’t know what you are doing. If you get in there and start bidding on the wrong words, you will begin to realize that your wallet is going bankrupt. So we don’t want you to end up like that. So y advice, think about it clearly and better be sure with the bid.

If then you are really sure and serious about using this technique, then start on learning more about the whole Pay per click process. Try to check on popular search engines and you will find other advertising site. Among others are Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN Adcenter. These are the top three ones in the market today representing the majority 90% of all the traffic in the Internet. That’s why it costs us money. There are also other smaller ones like but don’t work out well because a lot of the traffic in there is just those empty fraudulent clicks.

So check out if you have the money and get some immediate traffic to your site. But again, I advice to you be careful. What other people do is they build their site and find out what is working or not working, then they use Pay per Click. While other people do the other way around by investing in Pay per Click first then look for the most profitable situation they can find, they build their site into it. But I guess, both ways entail risk and opportunity. Using Pay per Click is just an option. But it all depends on your decision and instinct.

One of the best things that could happen to us is when people link us without having to do anything at all. I guess, this is the pure benefit of marketing. One of the ways to achieve this is by setting up your own bait. Just like fishing, we too need the right bait for the right customers. Unless we want to remain in the game of chances, which can happen if you have one of those boring and dull sites, having a creative and appealing website is the key to setting up the right bait. Truth is we will all need the extra effort to promote our site. There is no easier way than to get that bait and throw it in the water, then time to wait patiently for that big fish to come.

What constitutes a good bait? Here are some key points.

1. First, we need to find that good bait for ourselves. Meaning, we need the proper strategy, maybe in the form of free goodies and a trip to the moon.

1. Second thing we need is the right effort. This could also mean that we must have the right posture and method – the right package, the right process.

1. Third is patience. Like the fishermen in the lake waiting patiently for that catch, we may need to wait patiently too in order to attain success. No giving up, no surrender. Patience will have its reward.

    

And our bait could either be in the form of the following packages:

1. Free Stuff – These could be in the form of freebies. Most websites offer free stuff, or give away freebies. These are powerful baits when applied correctly.
2. Free Newsletters – Some websites out there give away free newsletters every week, or even everyday. They know that when they give their good advice to others for free, they will get more profit in return in the end.
3. Free Ebooks – Yes. Some authors even give away their newly written Ebooks for free. It is one way to promote his or her product or more of a preview on what interested visitors could find.
4. Free Videos – Other sites post their videos for free. Videos of course posses more value and meaning for the majority. This is a form of bait you shouldn’t miss out.

Considered as a social networking site equipped with a micro blogging service, users can send and receive messages in the form of tweets. These text based posts up to 140 characters are displayed on the author’s page and sent to the author’s subscribers, also known as followers. So Twitter is a great site to network although it could be very addicting for some. Still it remains to be a powerful conduit for sharing information from all around the world. Just this year, Twitter has recorded a 1,500 per cent growth in the number of registered users. Only in the first quarter of 2010, 4 billion tweets were posted. Now that is something to be considered seriously. So let’s have fun with twitter.

If you are into internet marketing, using Twitter should be your top tool priority. The good thing about twitter is that in this site, you get to be your own expert in your own field. This means that you can establish yourself in Twitter then people can follow you. It is more interactive since it involves an exchange of information. You can also get to check on other people in the site and follow them. Basically it is free, so it is very popular. You can find people from all age brackets and from all different walks of life. All of these wonderful features of Twitter make it a very ideal tool for promoting our own website or more – our product. So with some simple steps, we can start attracting followers and also begin leading them into our own web site as well.

So to best illustrate this technique, we need to:

1. First access the main page www.twitter.com

1. Sign up for a new account. You only need your email address and your personal information. Choose a username and password. Before you start tweeting, please have your bio written and attach a link of your website there. You may even post a picture there or an icon of your own.
   1. Once in, find people to follow you. Search for contacts in the site through the search option. Following is as simple as reading bios and clicking follow.

Communicate with the rest of the guys in the environment and try replying to other people’s post. Just start buzzing and soon enough you’ll find yourself closing that sale.

Today we will again raise the level of our training as we learn how to use affiliate programs as a tool for explosive generation of site traffic in our pages. If you have your own product or website, plus a strong desire to expand and grow your business, then I highly suggest that you consider creating your own affiliate program. Having other people to sell for you is a powerful way to expand and grow since you will use a very effective type of management tactic – delegation of tasks. This greatly enables the boss to fully utilize his time on more important aspects of the company – long-term goals, directions, mission and vision, and leading people while managing tasks. But more than just delegation, affiliate programs are internet based marketing practices where in a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer earned through the affiliate’s own hard efforts.

Like I said a while ago, creating your own affiliate program will generate more traffic and of course sales. Allowing other people to sell for you harnesses productivity and teamwork. It also divides functions into tasks. So if have a website and a product, you may need to create an affiliate program and hire other people to sell for you. Let’s admit it, we don’t know everything. We may have our own tricks but they are not enough.

Hiring an expert on selling can definitely work for you and your business. Another point that we need to admit is that other people are better than us. Our strategies may work for a while but won’t work in the long run. So as a business-minded person such as you may need to hire good people who are really experts in the field of selling. Trust me; it will do a lot for you. Then of course, the reality is that we can’t do it all alone y ourselves. That is why we need people to help us out. They may share the pie with us, but it will all be worth the pay.

If we ask others to sell for us, we are actually opening more doors that were not really open before we started. So here are some basic steps in creating an affiliate program:

1. First thing we could do is to invite or hire people to sell for us. So for example, if someone you know is into sales, you can ask that person to join your affiliate program.

2. You may also want to arrange a well planned and fair program so that others will join you. Give a presentation or set a meeting.

3. Explain the benefits of the program and arrive with a win-win resolution.

4. Seal the deal, and sign the contract.

This may not apply to all. I will not require you to do so. But if you really want more sales and create that passive site traffic, then creating an affiliate program is your buddy.

The next technique that we want to introduce to you today is something done in a more engaging and interactive way, that is by using forums as leverage for generating more traffic into our site. So if you are familiar with forums, you know exactly what we mean by engaging. Since forums usually involve asking questions and giving answers, this is a great way to enhance our marketability in the internet. So this is a very important technique and it has served me well since I started realizing the power of forums. I believe it will also work for you as it did for me.

Forums are like message boards that promotes discussion online about the site. It originated from the use of old traditional bulletin boards. So people with similar interests find the forums section a very important social function in websites, because this is where they can share tips, updates and useful information pertaining to their field of interest. Forums are usually organized into specific topics and usually updated by members. There are also moderators for the forums section. They govern how the forum postings are done and updated.

Forums are usually composed of two parts – the post and the thread. The post is the submitted message of the user, where other vital details are enclosed like date and time, and as well as backlinks. All posts are categorized in the form of threads. A thread is a collection of posts ranging from one topic to another. Thus these two create the forum in a discussion board. So basically what we wanted to do is create a presence in the forums of popular sites. Simply put, we want to get involved in the forums so that our product can get though.

Most likely, the engaging process involves interaction and the free-sharing of ideas. So by posting in the forums, you create a presence and appear concerned as well as knowledgeable to others. So there is a bigger chance that your sales percentage can go higher compared to the traditional ad posting since posting in forums seem more believable and interactive. People can hear from you firsthand.

So here are some easy steps in using forums as a strong medium for generating more traffic into our own web site:

1. First, look for a thread in popular sites. If you find a thread that is similar to your area of interest, then you know you can sell. If you find none, you can start the thread yourself.
2. Then after looking for a suitable thread, you can begin writing down your post with all the inputs and suggestions in it. You can give a helpful advice to someone who is in need of you.

1. Then attach in your backlink of your main webpage in your post so that others can follow you.

Then also don’t forget to have your own signature included in your post. It could be a good and timeless quote or a final word of encouragement to whomever you will encounter. So helping others can greatly help you too. The golden rule works well in marketing.

Having Facebook in our list of tools for marketing is a very fun way to deliver serious business. Facebook is a great place to connect with people, perfect for endorsing your website and product to millions of users. It is also a great place to exchange information – which is an ideal situation for marketing and promotion. So by taking easy steps in the registration process, you can hook up with friends and other people in the site. Some even create certain specific profiles about their product or what they wanted to sell. Strategically these business-minded people post their profiles in the Facebook platform and in no time attract other people with similar interest into their profile. In their created profiles, people can participate in posts or add comments and also check on their backlinks leading to the main website.

So for example, if we are promoting a site about cooking recipes, we can create a creative profile in Facebook and post good stuff. Examples of these can be pictures of good looking food, free mouth-watering recipes, and some simple basic cooking tips. I am sure that in no time, you will have followers and visitors constantly checking out your post. And since you’ve also added your own website link in the platform, people can continually follow you up to your main page.

Here is a recap on what we’ve just discussed as well as an example on how to keep up with the fever:

1. First we sign up the registration process in Facebook by typing in the site’s address – www.facebook.com.
   1. Then click Sign Up to register

1. Then after attaining member status, we can now start posting our page. In our page, let’s try to add up catchy stuff like pictures, activities, forum posts, other applications and of course the backlink of our own website.

   

    

    

    

    

    

    

Then we may begin inviting friends in the environment to draw more visitors and followers. So remember to be creative and use your strength zones all the time. Our goal is to get there, to get friends, to get promoted and to get huge traffic into our own main site. This is surely a fun way to do it.

YouTube for example, is a video sharing site in which users can upload and also share their videos. This is what makes most video sites very strategic for promoting one’s own.

Some advantages of using video sites as tools for generating great traffic include: Free uploading and sharing. Yes for free you can upload that video in these great sites. Also these tubes have millions of viewers daily so there is definitely a huge chance for you to close that sale.

Another benefit is that you can attach your backlinks into your video so that viewers A.K.A fans can follow you up to your main webpage. Also if you have a good video going, others can refer you to the other viewers as well. So sometimes it pays that we make a good and interesting video. Other additional benefit will be the strong traffic it will create to your site, plus the opportunity to be tagged in search engines. We will never guess everything that will happen solely because the possibilities are endless. Once its there, it will stick for long. Here are some concrete simple steps in using video sites as great tools for promoting our brand.

1. First we need to access any of these popular video sites in the internet – YouTube, Daily Motion, Google Video and Yahoo Video.

1. We may even need to sign up the free registration process for greater access.

1. Then for the video, even if you don’t have a video camera, you will still be able to make a quality one by using the windows movie maker, a default program installed in most windows operating system software.

1. Then you can gather clips of pictures about your product or website, and arrange them in the project board. For example if we were to promote out own cooking company, we could get pictures of deliciously looking foods and post them in the board. We may add a story line to it if we want or create a sequence of showings and spice up the video by embedding in it a sound or music file. That’s a simple way to create videos .

1. Once you have them saved and converted to a media field, you may access your account again in the video sites and upload your own personal video there.

To speed up your marketability, you may ask your friends to check on the video and comment on it. So once your video is posted, you can still continue promoting the video with backlinks on it.

There is this one Middle Eastern proverb that says, “Without a King, the Kingdom will perish.” For today’s discussion, we will talk about who is the King in your website. The proverb a while ago seemingly fits the realities of websites today – without a King, your website will indeed perish. This means that if your website doesn’t have a signature or a significant identity, you will end up in junk. What we mean is that most websites nowadays have lots and lots of links, posses good web design, has tremendous activity going on, but lack a very essential factor – good quality content. If we are to associate a website as a kingdom for example, the rightful king should be your site content.

Apparently, site links – no matter how many – are not enough. There may be a lot of factors to be considered in generating tremendous site traffic: web design, activities, applications, media, forum, friend profiles, but content defines them all. Yes, we can still get that needed traffic into our site but that will not happen in the long run. Chances are if you copied most or a majority of your site content from other sites, then visitors will find you boring, meaningless and dry in the long run. That is not a long-term solution to a short-term problem. Why would they bother checking on your site when it sucks? So we don’t want to get that kind of impression. We want to sound great, informative and professional. And we wanted to stand out above the rest, and that will mean that we create a high quality content for our site. Here are some tips in making great quality content for your own web site too.

So here are some random tips for great quality content:

1. Don’t focus too much on links. Links are just the icing to the cake. Links will be accounted to nothing if your site content is bad. A link is just a link, contrary to site content which is considered to be everything.
2. Make your own Brand or Signature. We do not want to be branded as copycats. We want to stand out in the marketplace. So if you are aiming for tremendous traffic explosion in your site, consider having your own signature and brand.
3. Do not try to copy content from other websites. Copyright issues are a headache; copying contents from other sites can degrade the integrity of your site. In the long run, you will end up in junk.
4. Take time to check on your CQ – Content Quotient. So basically most reasons of content problems stem from the inability to check the quality of the content. So it is a good pay off that we check the quality of our contents on a regular basis. Think of this as the Quality Control Process in your site.

1. Have the visitor’s point of view in mind. Yes it is very important that your content be somewhat related to what the visitors exactly need and want. Besides, you will never sell and profit without your customers.

Basically Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, with free online advertisements filled with sections focused on jobs, sales, services, forums and other personal areas of interest. Craigslist serves over twenty billion page views per months putting the site in the top 30 of the most visited sites in the U.S. It also boasts a record of over eighty million new classifies ads per month and receives over one million job listings each month, making it the top job searching sites in the globe. There it is folks, so much about Craigslist and its amazing feats and time to dig into using this great site as a conduit to promote our site as well.

Because Craigslist accepts almost all ads in their site, we might as well start posting an ad about our product there. Although maintained by only a few personnel, Craigslist is quite strict and tight when in comes to posting. Due to some spam issues in the recent years, they are strongly monitoring all posts and ads for approval. Most likely the good ads with good content are immediately accepted and posted. So in posting an ad in Craigslist, consider writing it well and good for approval.

Again, not well written ads can be banned in the site. The web site is highly considered a rough place with lots and lots of traffic. So it is possible that the site still contains those unwanted spam. But I guess it is a part of the risk you are to take. On most cases, you will not regret the move to post an ad there because of the great return of site traffic you will have soon after you’ve made the post. So you’ll be surprised at the site traffic afterwards. It also has a strong backlink, perfect for those search engines to find you and like we said, it is all worth it.
