Proven Fast and Easy Traffic Generation Methods
By Willie Crawford © 2005

One of the most perplexing questions faced by webmasters,
especially those with new sites, is "How do I get traffic
to my site?" Here are a few easy, inexpensive, and
relatively fast methods I use to generate traffic.

1) Write and distribute ezine articles. This article you're
reading right now will send visitors to the site mentioned
in my resource box at the end of the article. You can do
the same thing. Write articles on topics that you KNOW your
target market is interested in, and then distribute them to
ezine publisher and websites that publish others' content.
People will read your articles, and if the articles
provides value to them, they will visit your site to learn
more. It's that simple.

The key to getting your articles published is to write
something that provides genuine value to your readers.
Actually teach them something. Potential publishers will
see the value, and know that their readers will appreciate
the articles...so they'll publish them.

The key to getting your articles READ is writing about
something people want to know more about. For example, this
article is about generating more traffic. Monitor any
online marketing discussion forum, or email discussion
list, and you'll see that EVERY webmaster is interested in
getting more traffic. So, I know that this article will be
read.

Writing articles that will be published is both an art and
a science. However, you can become proficient at it fairly
quickly. I've written over 350 articles in the past 4
years, so it's not that hard. The best system I've
encountered recently on how to write and distribute
effective articles is called Article Announcer. You'll find
it at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/article-announcer/

2) Posting others' related articles on content sites. You
can create a website around a very focused niche topic, and
then post others' articles on that site. You can search
article directories such as ArticleCity.com or
IdeaMarketers.com and find thousands of articles others
have written and give permission for you to use. Usually,
article writers do this in hopes of generating traffic and
sales from their articles.

You can search through these sites and find articles on
your topic. Then you simply copy and paste them into your
website template to create a site that will rank well in
the search engines because the site is focused.

When I personally create these content sites, I use
software to both locate appropriate articles, and to turn
those articles into webpages. I have templates that are in
my basic site layout. The software that I use can find
dozens, or even hundreds, of articles and automatically
insert these articles into the correct place on the page.
It can even break up the articles, adding comments or
AdSense ads in the middle.4

An example of one such site that I've created is at:
http://cheapest-merchantaccounts.com On that site's
homepage is a link to "Articles." Following that link will
take you to literally over 100 articles related to merchant
accounts and ecommerce. ALL of those pages were created in
less than 5 minutes. I used a piece of software called
Content SiteBuilder, found at a site called Content Desk.
Basically I set up a template (inserting things such as my
AdSense code, and links to affiliate products) and then I
told the software where to put the articles. In a snap it
output the article pages. Then I merely had to upload the
pages to my server and link to them from my homepage.

"But does this generate traffic?" you ask. If you search on
the term "cheapest merchant accounts" at Yahoo.com you'll
see that this site ranks number 5 out of over 1 million
pages targeting that term. If you continued digging, you'd
discover that the number 1 site for that term is a blog
that I own, and the number 2 site also belongs to me... it
needs lots of work. All of these sites generate traffic...
people looking for the lowest priced merchant account. So
yes it does work. These visitors earn me revenue by either
applying for the merchant account I recommend or by
clicking on AdSense ads.

A key element in the success of the sites above is that I
got them indexed quickly by linking to them from sites that
were already indexed, and that were frequently visited by
the search engines. I also didn't put a lot of time into
building any of these site because of the Content Desk
software. You can find out more about that software at:
http://TheRealSecrets.com/content-desk/

3) I like free traffic, but often when a site is first
erected, you need to use pay-per-clicks to get that initial
surge of traffic. Articles and the other methods I use are
SO effective that I'll only use pay-per-clicks if I'm in a
hurry to refine the conversion rate. With pay-per-click
traffic, since they are all responding to the same ad(s)
you get more homogenous traffic. So it's easier to separate
elements in your testing and determine what's effective.
After refining the conversion process, whether or not I
continue with pay-per-clicks often depends upon
return-on-investment. I don't like to put a lot of time
into managing a site!

4) Create viral tools. Rebrandable PDF special reports work
well, especially if you have an affiliate program. If you
don't have an affiliate program, you can create these same
reports on hot topics, and s-e-l-l or give, the reprint
rights to others. In these reports you include links to
your "backend" products, or to websites you want to
generate traffic to.

Key to the success of getting others to spread your viral
tools is incentivizing them. Structuring your PDF document
so that publishers and webmasters can profit from
distributing it is the easiest way to do that. Money is a
great incentive In fact, you can even structure your
articles so that publishers profit from distributing them.
The way to do that is simply to allow affiliates to
substitute their affiliate url for yours in the articles.

If you don't run an affiliate program, you can even write
articles for programs that you are an affiliate for. Then
contact the affiliate program manager and offer to allow
them to provide the articles to their affiliates. Since you
are allowing their affiliates to change the url for that
product (to their affiliate url), you need to have a link
somewhere in each article that points back to your site
too. Most affiliate won't have a problem with this if it's
a good article. It's a win-win situation.

5) Just as you use PDF's to generate viral traffic, you can
do the same thing with Camtasia videos. You can create
short videos demonstrating how to do something, and then
you make these available to publishers. Camtasia has a
feature that allows you to automatically redirect the
viewer to a specified webpage at the end of the video. You
can either send them to your website, or you can create
special videos for your affiliates that take the viewer to
that affiliates url. The possibilities are endless.

To see an example of how I use Camtasia video to both
educate and generate traffic, watch my video entitled
"Secrets Of The Internet Marketing Titans." In this video I
explain why top Internet marketers seem to have an "inner
circle," and then explain how to break into that inner
circle as a welcomed member. Because the video does
educate, many ezine publishers are happy to tell their
readers about it. You can view this video at:
http://TheRealSecrets.com/titans/titans.html

6) Offer 5 to 20-part email courses to your website
visitors. Often your website visitors who won't subscribe
to an ezine will subscribe to a course. That's either
because the course has a higher perceived value, or because
the course covers a topic they're interested in more
in-depth than an ezine would. In the course, you invite
your readers back to your website for additional resources,
to see how something is implemented, etc. This generates
repeat visitors to your website and gives you many
opportunities to convert that subscriber to a customer.

7) Publish an ezine or some type of list from your website.
An ezine allows you to have repeated contact with a person
who may otherwise never return to your site. As you build
the relationship, you can offer them various reasons for
returning to your site. As an example, I try to keep my
ezine to a reasonable length. Things that I can't fit in my
ezine - I post on my blog. So I invite my subscriber to
return to my site to read those extra gems available only
on the blog.

Publishing a list doesn't have to be hard work. For
example, I publish a list from a cooking related site that
is written entirely by my readers. It's a recipe exchange
mailing list. Readers submit recipes or requests for
recipes. These reader submissions are compiled into a twice
daily digest that is edited for quality control and then
sent out to the list. My editor inserts two sponsor ads in
each issue. Those sponsor ads not only drive traffic to my
site, they drive six-figure sales of a cookbook that I
wrote.

The cooking list, written by the readers, creates such
loyalty that if we ever miss a day of publishing, hundreds
of readers write in to ask us to confirm that they haven't
been dropped from the list. Some subscribers have been on
this particular list for over 5 years. Aside from a little
editing, the list is on almost total autopilot. You can
check out how this list is set up by visiting my cooking
site at: http://Chitterlings.com. You'll notice that the
number one focus of the homepage is to build the list, so
that we can generate the repeat traffic. It works
beautifully!

So there you have seven ways to generate website traffic
relatively fast, easy, and inexpensively. I even gave you
examples that you can examine and model. Implement just a
few of these ideas, and you'll get a nice steady flow of
website visitors.
