On a Budget? 3 Ways to Drive Traffic Quickly and Cheaply
On a Budget? 3 Ways to Drive Traffic Quickly and Cheaply
� Copyright Rosalind Gardner, All Rights Reserved.
After working long and hard to get your new web site up and
running, you probably have little patience left to wait months
and months to start getting traffic to your site and start
making sales!
But those search engine submissions are taking a lot of time to
bring in traffic. You've also discovered that joining web rings,
link trading, and posting free-for-all classifieds are
time-consuming activities that produce just a trickle of
traffic, IF you're lucky.
Moreover, you don't want to blow huge amounts of money on
advertising just in case your site doesn't convert visitors into
buyers at a rate that nets a fair profit.
You want lots of traffic, you want it cheap, and you want it
now! So, what do you do?
Well, there are 3 ways to get traffic to your site quickly, even
on a budget.
Write Articles - You wrote all those product endorsements for
your site, and articles aren't much different, or any more
difficult to write. If your site is about beer, and promotes a
variety of products related to home brewing, write an article
called "10 Secrets to Your Best Batch Ever". Include a resource
box below your article that gives your name, a brief description
of your site and its URL. (Use my resource box at the end of
this article as an example.) Your next step is to go to Charlie
Page's 'Directory of Ezines' and buy an annual membership.
Review the list of ezines in the Food/Wine category, and submit
your article to each one that accepts articles. Some newsletters
may have a circulation of just a few hundred, but others will
have a few hundred THOUSAND subscribers.
Ezine Advertising - Your DOE (Directory of Ezines) membership
will also help you locate ezines in which to advertise your
site. The beauty of this type of advertising is that it is
generally low-cost, sometimes as little as $8 per issue for 6
lines at 65 characters per line. But the best part is that
you
are putting your message in front of a highly targetted
audience. There's no point in trying to sell home brew kits to
tea-totallers, now is there? http://nptinfo.com/doe
Pay Per Click Search Engines - The fastest way to get traffic to
your site is to buy keywords and keyword phrases at PPC's (pay
per click search engines) such as Overture, Google and FindWhat.
Google is definitely the fastest PPC account to set up. Simply
write your title and description, choose your keywords, make a
deposit and you're up and running. Set a daily maximum budget,
and check your income and expenses frequently until you ensure
that the former consistently exceeds the latter. You will know
within the week how well your site will convert visitors to
buyers, which beats the heck out of waiting months for feedback!
For as little as a one or two hundred bucks, you can drive tons
of highly targeted traffic to your site in a very short period
of time . Calculate your conversion, 'tweak' your site, then
re-invest your earnings to drive even more traffic and gain even
more sales.
Stick with the plan, and in no time at all, you'll get to sit
back and enjoy one of those home brews while watching your sales
numbers climb.
