Twitter Business Tips and Tricks

If you have a website or you promote someone else's' website as an affiliate, you need to drive traffic to
it.
Without traffic, you won't get visitors. And without visitors, you won't make money, sales, get
subscribers, etc. What good is a website without any traffic? And if the site is getting traffic, what good
is it if it's not targeted traffic?
There are many ways to drive traffic to your site, both free and paid. But we are not going to talk about
paid traffic right now. That is a totally different topic and could take hours to cover.
So, back to free traffic. Some ways of getting free traffic to your site is by Search Engine Optimization,
surfing for traffic, or getting it passively.
SEO takes time and a lot of work. When you join sites that are surf for traffic sites, you have to look at
other members' sites in order to earn advertising credits for your site to be displayed when another
member is surfing.
The only problem with this is that although the traffic is free, it is not targeted. Everyone who is a
member only surfs for the credit and very rarely even looks at the site, they just minimize their window
on their PC and multi-task. So, the traffic is crap and worthless.
Now, let's talk about the best way to get free targeted traffic. It's called Instant Buzz. Instant Buzz is a
service that gives you advertising credits as you surf the web like you normally would. What you do is
download the toolbar for free, it only takes a minute. Then, you set up your ads in the members area.
And bam, you ads are being displayed on other members' tool bars as they surf.
You can also put Instant Buzz ads in emails that you send to your friends. These are called mail space
ads. And your ad will get displayed in other members' emails. The last thing you can do is put a
hyperspace ad on your website which will help you refer other members.
When you refer other members, you will also get a percentage of the credits they earn which will go
towards your ad credits.
If someone likes your ad and is interested in what it says, then they click on it and end up on whatever
site it was that you were promoting. Now that's targeted traffic! And it was free.

"Or How to Monetize Your Traffic So You Get The Most Out of IT Everyone tells you that to increase
your sales all you need to do is to increase your Traffic. But that's only part of the equation. Fact is,
there's something else more important than Traffic, and that is CONVERSION.
Doubling your Traffic Volume does not necessarily = sales. Doubling your conversion rate however, =
more sales You CAN make money even with little traffic, and generate more sales
from the same Traffic. Instead of always looking for the next best Traffic Method why not spend the
time on converting your existing traffic into sales. This will put more money in your pocket in the long
run, than spending time and money getting more Traffic Generating Traffic is not an easy task. You
have to contend with so many competitive sites to generate a good flow of traffic. And there are so

All that excitement of being overcome by a flood of Traffic is a false euphoria and could leave you
with the feeling of being among the spent bottlers and debris as the circus rolls out of town, or
in this case as your visitors leave your website as quickly as they arrived

Traffic' you have number of potential customers that are willing to pour money into your coffers

click on a link, buy a product.
It's more cost effective to spend time making sure the keywords and content is relevant to our website
or Blog. It's equally important to improve our website design to make it easy for our visitors to take
action Long Tail Keywords attract Traffic in general but individual keywords create sales. For
example "Sports Cars" will attract car enthusiasts, But "Red Masarati Sports Cars" will attract that
unique visitor that will will be more susceptible to take some form of action, according
to the strength of our sales copy. These UNIVERSAL website conversion strategies work whether you
have your own products or if you have an affiliate website, or whether you use it on a direct response,
blog etc Also you kneed to monitor your Traffic. You need to know where your traffic is coming from,
where your sales conversions are coming from. There are plenty of good Tracking programs to help
you do all this. I highly recommend Googles' Free Tracking software " Google Analytics.
Simply sign up for a Free Account with Google Adwords, Copy and past a simple script into the Page
that you wish to track, and it will give you all the information you need to help monetize your website
and increase your conversion rate. You can easily find out where your Traffic is coming from.
Whether it came direct , from organic search engine enquiry or Referral links. How Many Visitors a
day - Absolute Unique Visitors - Page Views - Time spent on you website - Bounce rate in % -
Visitors Profile and even the Browser they used, and so much more. A very powerful tool to add to
your marketing arsenal. And it's Free.
If your just getting started and do not have any traffic to speak of, then I also recommend you use
Google Adwords to generate your initial Traffic. Use your keywords wisely to get the most clicks for
your dollars and put a cap on your spend. What you trying to do is drive targeted traffic to your website
in the shortest possible time to enable you to analyse and monitor your conversions per 1000 Visitors.
Where the sales are coming from, What is not selling. Bounced Visitors etc
In this case it's not "Who you Know", but "What you Know". If something is not converting into sales,
you have the option to put it right or drop it and concentrate on the things that are making you
money.
I hope these few tips have helped you to get more control of your
sales strategy and increase your sales

So you’ve just finished creating your new website. It looks good and you are ready for the visitors, you
can’t wait for the traffic to come. So how are you going to get traffic to your new site? You will now
need to promote your new site. Here are a few things you could start with:

1. Submit your site to the Search Engines

If you want people to find your site then you should start by submitting your site to the biggest 3 search
engines, which are Google Yahoo and MSN. They will find your site eventually without submitting to
them but why wait. You should also submit your site to all the other lesser-known search engines
because some people don’t or can’t use the big 3. Can be time consuming to submit your site to most of
them so Search Engine Submission Software is recommended for this.

2. Submit your site to Directories

People go here to find other websites. Provides good incoming links when your site is listed on
directories, which can over time increase your website’s popularity and SE rankings. There are so
many directories that this can also be time consuming.

3. Submit your site to Classifieds

Was once considered to be an excellent way to get traffic to your site but not as effective today,
however, it still could be worth your while submitting your site to the classified sites using Search
Engine Submission Software because most of those sites are considered high traffic sites.
The above three methods are great ways to promote your site and start getting traffic but they can be
very time consuming if you decide to submit your site manually to the above, however, there is a much
faster and incredibly simpler way to get your site on over 700,000 Search Engines, Directories,
Classifieds, Online Malls and Link pages by using Search Engine Submission Software like this

You could also consider other ways of getting visitors to your site like

1. Article Distribution – Writing articles about what can be found on your site and distributing
them to article directories with a link to your site included in every article you write.

2. Participate in Forums that are related to your sites content - Post your opinion or expertise on
the subject matter, and over time you’ll be allowed add a link to your site with every post you
make.

3. Add lots of related links to your site – This is reciprocal linking where someone adds your link
to their site while you agree to add their link to your site – make sure the sites you link to are
related to your site in some way, this will improve your search engine ranking for more traffic,
eg. If you have a weight loss site you should link to other weight loss related sites like health,
fitness, diet, exercise.

4. Use Pay Per Click (PPC) – Brings in quality traffic but it can get costly if you don’t know
what you’re doing. Every time someone visits your site it will cost you a pre-determined
amount usually a few cents. I recommend you learn all about this method before you dive in,
however, you can at least set your limit on how much you are willing to spend on this.

5. Traffic Exchanges – This is where you view other people’s sites to gain credits that will allow
them to view your site. Most of the people viewing your site will have no interest in your site,
they are only clicking on your site to gain credits. Worth a try because it’s free to join.

6. Advertise in Ezines – This can be an excellent way to advertise your website. Only use ezines
that are related to your site and have a large circulation. Allow your site ad a few months of
advertising to get the best value.

7. Hit Boosters – Instant traffic to your site using software technology. Some can be quite
useless but others can bring in truly remarkable results for your site.

There are many more traffic gaining techniques. The above are 10 good ways that will get traffic to
your site and a couple of solutions to your site promotion ventures. My advice is to try the above first
and then when you are familiar with them you can look for other methods.
