Traffic Generation: Types, Tips and Tricks
By: Joel Christopher | Posted: 24th July 2007
Traffic generation will take you to places in your Internet marketing business, if you are well able to harness it to eventually garner as much leads as possible and eventually, turn these leads into buyers for your business. This will take a lot of time and effort on your part.
Traffic generation comes from a host of sources, and the more you are able to make use of the available means of building traffic, the better will it be for your business. Traffic building does not just happen in the initial phases of your business. The Internet changes on a daily basis so you will have to keep up, keep evolving with the times and keep building site traffic.
There are different types of traffic generation techniques and you will be able to make the most of them if you are well familiarized with them. Traffic can be generated by either free or paid means. Making use of them is at your discretion.
Among the free traffic generation techniques, you have search engine optimization, link building, and joint ventures, among many others. But it is not really as free as you would think, because it eats up time.
Time is one of your essential elements that you cannot recreate or rewind. So if you can really afford it, delegating this aspect may be a viable option for you. The thing with free traffic generation techniques is that it is somehow putting your work at par with other websites which are also vying for free traffic generation.
There is also the paid traffic generation, which will require you to shell out some money and less of your time. Adwords and online advertisements comprise this equally lucrative technique of building your site’s traffic.
A good mixture of traffic-building techniques in the free and paid aspects is ideal enough if you get to manage it efficiently on a daily basis. You will have to know that traffic success in a day may or may not stay for the long term if you do not take good care of it.
A lot of websites are vying for customer attention, and it would be quite presumptious to think that they will remember you always amidst a sea of other websites which are trying to sell them so many products. Yours must stand out, and you must be able to do this by primarily making good site traffic a staple to your online marketing experience.
About the Author
Occupation: Internet Marketer
Author, Speaker, Philanthropist,
Master List Builder, Family Man
When Joel Christopher came to the United States from the Philippines on August 8, 1988, he knew nothing about the internet. He was a physical therapist who wanted a better life for his family. Yet today, Joel is known among internet marketing gurus as the "Master List Builder".
Master List Builder
Recognizing the business and marketing potential of the Internet, he started his own online business in late 1999 and launched his first website on January 1, 2000, geared towards providing aspiring Internet entrepreneurs with a step-by-step guide to succeeding online. He was himself merely a beginner, or what he fondly calls a “newbie netpreneur”. After faltering and floundering in his first year online, he attended a live seminar, took a lot of notes and applied what he learned. It only took two months after that for him to become successful enough to quit his job and make a full-time living creating and selling products on the internet.
Speaker
Since, then, Joel has attended more than 100 live seminars, boot camps and conferences, and has actually spoken at more than half of them on the topic of "opt-in" list building. He has spoken in front of thousands of people in the U.S. and Canada and has shared the stage with many marketing legends such as Ted Nicholas, Joe Sugarman, Robert Allen, Mark Victor Hanson and Mark Joyner.
He has grown his own opt-in list to more than 153,000 newsletter subscribers in just three years. But he earned his "Master List Builder" nickname when he tripled his list to over 30,903 names in only 99 days.
Author
Using the email marketing principles he teaches, he recently demonstrated the power of a huge opt-in email list when his co-authored book "Mining Online Gold With An Offline Shovel: How To Build A Massive Online Mailing List By Mastering Offline Promotion" zoomed to the top of the Amazon.com best-seller list just 13 hours after it was published. Only the pre-release of the latest Harry Potter book beat it to the number one position.
International best-selling author and radio talk show host Mike Litman recently nicknamed Joel Christopher the "Tony Robbins of Internet Marketing" and Randy Gilbert of the "Inside Success" show called him "The Michael Jordan of Internet List Building".
Joel Christopher is the Director and Owner of SuccessAccess.com and MasterListBuilder.com. He is a consummate entrepreneur who wants to share his passion for self-employment with others because of the time and financial freedom it offers.
Philanthropist
In addition,Joel Christopher has made a personal commitment to help young Philippinos receive the education they need to improve their lives. To this end, he has begun a foundation and is donating 100% of his profits from his first book to this cause.
Family Man
Joel's beautiful wife, Sheila, is his constant companion and supporter, as well as playing a key roll in Joel's businesses. They live with their precious daughter Simone in Helotes, Texas
