Is your traffic making you money?

Hey Guys!

Today I am posting an answer to the question that I am asked again and again.  I am continually receiving this question from people so I thought of answering it today.
Many people ask me that they are receiving 50-200+ visitors each day but they are not making good money and they are not making any sales.  Well let me tell you somethig, it does not matter how much traffic you have but it matters that what kind of traffic you have.  There are mainly two kinds of traffic:
  • Targeted Traffic
  • Untargeted Traffic

If you get traffic from surf for traffic sites then you probably will be getting untargeted traffic and people who have untargeted traffic are trying to do what you are trying to do, make money online, and they know what adsense is or what affiliate programs are and beleive it or not, if people know that doing a specific action profits or benifits you they are simply not going to do it and they will never buy your products or click your ads so the traffic is mostly worthless.

Targeted traffic is the traffic you get from search engines mostly.  Imaging yourself going to google and searching for "How to make money online" You get the results and you click the number one site, you have a very high chance of your visitors ending up giving you money out of their credit cards or at least click your sponsor ads or adsense because you have a personal feeling that if this site can make it to the top of google then it is a good site.  Now let's change the scenario and imagine a novice internet user going to Google and searching for "How to make money online" and he is unfamiliar of adsense, website advertising. He doesn't have any information about affiliate programs. What do you think he will do, maybe he does not buy your product in the first place but at least he will click on the advertisements because he does not know what is adsense and he does not realize that you are making money. He may bookmark your site and come later to buy what you have to offer. In short if you are on the top of Google then whatever kind of traffic you have will make you money. If you have untargeted traffic then you really can't make any sales or make money so my recommendation if you are getting a load of untargeted traffic then keep your journey going until you make it to the the top of search engine and after you do then you will see the profits.

How can you get traffic fast?

Hey Guys, What's up!

I hope you enjoyed my ebook and I hope it helped you. If you have any questions about my ebook please free to Contact Me.

Today I will tell you something avout instant traffic.  If you are a novice blogger then you proabably have been to site that tell you to buy their product and get instant traffic and they show you testimonials and stuff and all the other junk.  Many people beleive in them and many of them buy those products and unfortunately end up losing money.
Today I will tell you my view about fast traffic.  I beleive there is no such thing as fast traffic.  Now there are exceptions e.g. if you are running a PPC campaign then you probably will be getting more traffic and may be in some circumstances a lot faster but here my concern is about how to get traffic to your site free.  There is no such thing as 15 minute traffic.  You can get free traffic but you really can't get in 15 minutes.
I have seen a lot of successful bloggers that don't believe in free traffic,  let's take an example, Darren Rouse is the owner of Problogger and he mentions in his blog that nothing he does beleive in free traffic and so do I.
Let me tell you,
Forget the word "fast".  If you want to be a successful blogger you need to work hard and you should be patient.
I hope I made my self clear.  If you don't understand something or if you have questions please Click Here to Contact Me.
Bye, See you next time.

Getting traffic by searching google?

Hey fellows,

How's it going. Today I will tell you a traffic tip that is really simple but a very few people use this tip because it does not come to their mind. Many people spend a lot of time trying to get back links to their sites or blog. They join all kinds of fake programs to get back links and still they don't get indexed by search engines because the back links are from irrelevant sites and irrelevant back links are a disadvantage for your site.

Now the question is: How to solve this problem.
Well! the answer is really easy. If you have a site that shows people how to make money online then you go to Google or Yahoo (or any big search engine) and search for the keyword "how to make money online". You get a list of sites, go to each site on page 1 and try to trade links with them. Sometimes you can get links for free and the link you get from that site is good for you because that site has a good search engine ranking and it has the same topic as yours.

Note that it is possible that you don't get a link for free from the top ten results and the webmaster asks for some money. If you want to pay money then fine but if it is a blog then you can just comment on it and leave your link. This will get you a back link from that site free of cost.

Can surf for traffic sites be a good source of traffic?

Hey guys, What's up.

Today I want to show you a site that can get you free traffic. I have come across with many site that have all kinds of traffic exchange programs that give you traffic but you have to surf for it. First of all when I created my first site Web Design Training and tried to get traffic by free traffic exchanges and traffic for surfing sites I had no idea what to do. I simply got junk traffic from those sites and the result was that I lost my belief from them. Now when I know a lot more than when I started my first website, I like some surfing for traffic sites.

The reason for this change is that most of the traffic I am getting to this blog is from surf for traffic site and I know that most of my post readers know where they got to this blog from. So no the thing that traffic is untargeted, if you need good traffic from these sites you need to be very careful while selecting the directory of your blog. If you select the exact category then you will get traffic that is untargeted still good because they have a huge chance of stopping by as they need what you are offering, if you select any irrelevant category then you will get untargeted traffic that is just not interested in your site or blog. For example if I am showing people how to get traffic to your blog and I have my site listed in the arts category then people coming to that category will not be interested in my traffic site but they will be looking for something related to arts.

The other thing to care about is what site you are using to get traffic. If you are using a site that you surf using auto surf then you should expect visitors coming to your site using auto surf. This will be bad for your site's health because visitors won't even stay on your site for a minute and then they will just go away. Sites like Link Referral (that's where I am getting all my traffic from) will give you good visitors because on that site you go to the site select the directory you want to go and then you select each site and each site has its description with its name so visitors get some idea of your site before they even get there. If you want to join link referral Click Here.

Please Note that my WEB DESIGN TRAINING site is still under construction and I will soon add original content to it. I am working on it so please don't think that I don't add original content to my sites. I also wanted to show you where I started from.

Can good content get higher search engine rankings?

Hey fellows!

I am really sorry that I didn't post anything for so long but I didn't get a chance. Today I am posting and I promise that I will try to be regular from now on. Now here's the latest traffic tip.

You may have listened or read in many videos or blogs that good content is the key to higher search engine rankings. You can't be on top of Google if you don't have good content blah blah blah. Today I want to tell you that getting on the top of Google has nothing to do with good content. I know some of you may think that I am crazy after I told you that but let me explain.

When some one searches for a keyword on Google, the Google bot doesn't go and read all the website's content and then give you the results but it goes and checks for the number and quality of one way back links each site has and How many pages each site has and it mostly ranks the sites that have the keyword in their titles. Now here most of the people put Quality Content that Google looks for the quality of the content but I say Google looks for the Relevance of the content and the keywords each site. If you have any more questions you can contact me and I will reply.

Note that quality content is still the most important thing to you blog or website because it keeps the visitors returning and you know what I am not ranked high in Google because it is the second month I started this blog but I get a lot of untargeted traffic but after watching my content they subscribe to the posts, join my mailing list and they become my returning visitors.

How to get traffic by giving away free stuff?

Hey guys. How is it going.

Today I will give you a great tip on how to get traffic to your site by giving away free stuff. Many people start website but don't give free stuff on their website. They try to sell their ebooks or templates they create. This is not helpful in increasing site traffic. You can giveaway free stuff to get traffic. Confused! Let me explain. You create a new website template that looks real real cool and beautiful. You know a lot of people will download this template. Now what you do it that you put a link on the bottom (or anywhere want) of the page and it is like Website Design by www.yourwebsite.com. After you are done put it on your website (or blog etc.) for download. When people launch their website using your template you automatically get a back link from them (Cool isn't it). You can do the same thing with graphics.

Let's think that you can't create templates or graphics so can you get traffic this way. The answer is yes. You can write an e book or something and on it main page you can tell the people that they can't sell your e book but they can give the book away for free without changing or adding content. This will result in your website getting outside and known by people and if the e book is good and it helps someone then they will come to check your website out.

These are some really really simple but highly effective tips to get traffic to your website. Its really easy but you have to put in effort.

See you in next post.

Starting a Forum to Get Traffic.

Hey Guys. How are you doing?

Today I will tell you something about forums. You can get a lot of traffic and popularity to your site if you have a forum on your site. A forum has all kinds of question and they have great answers to them too so they have a great chance of being listed in search engines. You can promote many of your products through your forum. You can get great amount of returning visitors through forums and as I said earlier in my post that returning visitors are a greatest source of traffic to your site.

Please Note that forums are a great source traffic and respect to your site but they can also cause harm to your site's reputation. If you don't have traffic on your site, don't start a forum because an empty forum makes your visitors feel that your website is unpopular and infamous.

How to keep your visitors returning.

You can keep your visitors returning to your website or blog by offering them something of interest. Something that will help them a lot like free search engine submitter, free website template, try to add a free back link checker installed ( you can do that by contacting someone who has that and making a deal). Believe it or not you make most of the profits by returning visitors because they come to your site over and over again and they have trust in you. They have a personal feeling that you know more. They also keep on checking things around and they usually click the adsense ads. So you need your visitors to keep coming.
