Why do people go to great lengths to get traffic?

Find out all you need to know here, PLUS at the bottom of this page I have put a link (you can click here instead if you are in a hurry) to all the most popular information about getting website traffic that's available on the web today.

Traffic is another word for 'visitors'. The more visitors or traffic that you have going to your website, or blog, or advert, the more money you will make - as long as the content on your site makes the visitor linger long enough to buy from you.

There are many ways to generate traffic. Some are totally free. Some are not! I will discuss them all here and tell you which, in my experience work the best.

Here's a list of all the main ways to get website traffic (in no particular order). I will then go into each method in more detail.

Which methods of creating website traffic work best?

This is just my own opinion based on personal experience. The best methods for me have been, and still are:
Adwords campaigns, Site Build it, You Tube and blogs.

I have tried all the others because other people on the web recommended those methods. I actually wish I hadn't bothered with some of them as they wasted a lot of my time, and some of my money.

Get website traffic via You Tube.

This can be an excellent and also low-cost/free way to get huge amounts of traffic. Don't worry if you have never made a video before, it's so easy. You can use a program like Windows movie maker which is probably on your PC already. You can create graphics in there if you don't own a camcorder or digital camera.

You'll need to get a microphone, I picked up a good one for about £20. If you go to 'Programs' on your PC and click on it, then follow the link to 'accessories' then 'entertainment' you will be able to record your voice for free! It just takes a little practice and then you're away. If you do have a camcorder or digi camera, even better. You can go to my free videos section and have a look at some successful videos in there.

When you save your video make sure you call it by the name you want to create traffic for. eg If you want traffic for the keyword 'children's games' name your video that. On Youtube itself when you upload your video make sure you include your keywords in the title and description and tags. And in the tag section, put ALL the related keywords you can find too. Have a look at my keywords section for lots of crucial tips and advice about the importance of keywords and how to use them right. I really rate using Youtube to drive traffic and it's fairly simple. This ebook will help you further, I highly recommend it if you are serious about using Youtube to make lots of money: Just click here to find out more.


Get website traffic with Site Build It.

For more information about how Site Build It can help you get massive traffic keep reading this page and also click here.

I want to add here that Site Build it enables you to create FREE website traffic, so do blogs. I built this site using Site Build It. Large volumes of FREE traffic is what everyone wants.

I mean, what could be better than thousands of visitors (a day) who find your site without you having to pay a penny or a cent for them?

But it's very hard and slow to get if you go down traditional routes of building a website and using SEO strategies.

Adwords will cost you (you set the budget however) but it can be very effective and also very quick.

Now, I have had more traffic in the first 2 months with My Site Build It site (this site) than I have with some of my other websites that I created ages ago. I applied all the recommended SEO (search engine optimisation) techniques with my former sites, but it is SO SLOW!

There are so many things to learn, it's hard to find out all the methods in one place, and then you have to apply them correctly or they don't work. There's a lot of trial and error and it takes up a lot of time.

Also, the one thing they don't tell you is that your website (if that's where you are trying to send traffic) needs to have at least 50 pages, preferably 100, 200 or 300++, or you will never get much traffic with all the SEO techniques in the world. And the quantity of pages is just the tip of the iceberg! Each page needs to focus on a different keyword. Each keyword needs to not only be relevant to your site's subject but must also must be a keyword that is in demand! Keywords are a whole subject in their own right. So, it's all very well to be told by all the gurus that you need meta tags and descriptions and links, but if your site has only 5 pages, FORGET IT!! You'll never get loads of free traffic.

Now, while I was working my way through the minefield of advice about how to make my websites successful, I could easily have given up. Nothing brought the results I wanted. But I am very determined! I found Site Build It around summer time last year (2007) and just love it. Why?

I will go into that now and then look at lots of other ways to get traffic.

Because I have tried building sites without SBI, and I have now built a site with SBI. So because of that I really appreciate what I have my hands on with this.

Here are some of the best things about it:

You don't have to know any SEO techniques, the program ensures that every page you build has them all in place. Correctly.

You don't have to know all about keywords - Site build it has the best keyword tools ever - it tells you which keywords are most in demand, which have the least competition from other sites and which will make you the most profit - unbelievable!

There are videos to explain every aspect of building a successful site so even a beginner can do it.

BEST OF ALL, a very high percentage of sites built with SBI rank in the top 1% of websites worldwide. So, regarding traffic, you can see that if SBI ensures that you build a high-ranking site, you will get massive website traffic! Here's the proof: click here.

More ways to get website traffic:

I like creating traffic with blogs because it's fun, easy to do and free and doesn't take up much time. There are some essentials you need to know to create a blog that gets loads of visitors. I bought this ebook (see link below) and found it invaluable. Not only will the blog drive traffic to your site via you linking to it but the blog can make you big money in it's own right. You can sell affiliate products via your blog or simply make money from placing google adsense ads on it.

Adwords appeals to a lot of people as a way of generating website traffic because it's very immediate, once you know what you are doing.

It also doesn't take up much time once you have done the initial work of creating a successful ad campaign. In fact it takes care of itself.

Disadvantages? It can cost you more than you make back if you don't learn how to go about it right. Read my adwords section to learn how to run a successful campaign.

Site Build It requires time and effort initially (although I loved every minute of it) and then it takes care of itself and generates you a free passive income, long-term. What a great way to make money!

Articles. This can be an effective method but it doesn't rank in my top 3. You may get lucky and have your article appear on someone's high traffic site - but it may never happen, and you may have a long wait. I get some traffic via my articles but nothing to get too excited about.

I have spent weeks and weeks on sites where you surf people's ads and sites to get traffic - what a waste of time! If you spent that time building an SBI site or creating loads of blogs, your online business would be up and running and you could go to the beach while the checks roll in.

Banner exchanges work for some, but didn't do much for my website traffic at all.

Creating your own ebook which you can then give away can be effective and I know some do really well with this. You put links in the book to your site, and make it clear that others can give the book away too. (Called viral marketing). It's worth doing but takes time to get results unless you already have a large database you can send it too without spamming.

It obviously takes some time and some skill (and knowledge) to write the book. I don't personally think this one is for absolute beginners.

Email campaigns have swallowed up my money and given me poor results, however maybe I didn't pick a good company?

I recommend you ask around (maybe via forums) and see what results others get. The same goes for the other website traffic methods I have mentioned. Just be aware that some people may not answer you honestly - they may have ulterior motives for their answers.
