SEO Getting Traffic

A primary key to being successful online, is the traffic. You have to find a way to build traffic. The top 10 SEO companies listed on Google fall into the following four categories:

  1. Too Expensive
  2. Too unreliable
  3. Too much work
  4. Too complex

However, there are other solutions which do not fall into the above categories. One way we found was to hire people on rent-a-coder (now vWorker.com) and let them do the wok for you. Yes, this will increase your traffic, however, with one pitfall... a majority of the traffic followed a link to your site that was categorized incorrectly. So they hit your site, and then leave.

Build a list, which means you need to offer something worth while to collect your visitors email address. Now depending upon your product(s) and service(s) this could be the perfect solution to your business as a whole.

Build squeeze page, this is the page which gives your visitors one choice, give their email to get something they want. For example, if you are reading this, you are wanting to increase the traffic to your page. I could have designed this page differently to entice you into giving me your email address to get this information/knowledge. People do it to me all of the time, however, my company makes money through product sales not spam marketing.

So, a squeeze page explains to your visitors, you have exactly what they are looking for - through online a video with the right words - share your success... and tell them you will explain how to do this too -- 80% or more of your visitors will leave you their email - figuring they can always spam list you. This means you have built the intrigue!

This site (www.bpdx.com) that you are on could be the perfect site for collecting peoples email addresses -- I have collected a wide range of information, however, I give it away freely. This site is my repository of "neat" pieces of knowledge - and the hits are growing and growing. In three months, without spending a single penny promoting my site - just letting the search engines do their work, I went from just a couple hits to over 14,000 hits and growing. I did it by developing my own web server tool (see http://www.3fwiki.com/ if you are interested), but, that is not why we are here. That tool just automates most of the work for me!

98% of new online businesses fail because they lack the traffic.

You need to learn how to do trend analysis of your traffic. Find your most popular pages, and go generate roughly 50 back links. Next, open those pages to public blog type comments on said pages. In my case, 3F Wiki allows me to flag a page as WIKI, BLOG or FORUM. When someone new signs-up via a page, you will now have their contact information along with which page grabbed their interest to sign-up. In real estate this is called stealth marketing.
