A Confidential Traffic Secret

By Hass67

Success in making money online depends on learning how to generate a lot of traffic to your site. Without a lot of traffic, you wont make any money online.

Learning traffic generation secrets is in essence what internet marketing is. Sales copy comes after that. There are various ways to generate traffic to your site.

Many will tell you to start PPC. In PPC, you pay for getting targeted traffic from the search engines. But over the years, keywords on PPC have become very expensive. One simple click can cost you $1 or more for a particular keyword. You cant compete against the big players with deep pockets involved in PPC.

If you pay for traffic and in the end does not recover even your cost of advertising, you are headed towards failure. You need a system that can generate targeted traffic for your site for free. Only search engines can provide that much traffic to your site.

You will think of learning search engine optimization (SEO). So again you will be competing with big players with lots of experience and deep pockets.

There is an entry barrier for newbies in internet marketing. Nobody will tell you this fact that it is almost impossible to get your new site ranked high in the search engines especially on Google. Google takes the age of a site into account before giving it importance.

Google does not want a few page sites on its search engine result pages. Google likes authority sites on a particular niche! Your website should have hundreds of optimized pages and thousands of backlinks before Google will rank it on its search pages.

You are again stuck! You cant compete with big players who have years of experience doing SEO! Can you beat them? You bet. You can. How about using these same authority sites to generate traffic for your site?

I give you an example to make my point clear, EzineArticles is considered to be an authority site by Google. You can submit articles on it. These articles can get targeted traffic to your site as well as quality backlinks that counts with Google.

There are many article directories, forums, blogs, social bookmarking sites that can give you lot of traffic and quality backlinks. Use them to generate traffic for your site.

As long as you dont learn how to generate free traffic to yours site, you wont succeed at internet marketing.
