Traffic Generation - Methods To Avoid
There are many ways to get traffic to a site. You will most likely do research to
find out about those traffic generation methods.
Methods such as article marketing, forum marketing, pay-per-click advertising,
social networking, blogging, and social bookmarking all work very well. But in the
world of Internet Marketing, there are also traffic techniques that you should
avoid, for various reasons.
“Incidentally, we’ll kick start this section of Adsense Profits Blueprint
with traffic techniques you should avoid”
1. First, do not ever pay for traffic from a site that promises you a great deal
of traffic in a short amount of time. The traffic that you get will not be
targeted, and will be of no use to you at all. The same applies to traffic
exchange sites.
In fact, many of these sites are scam sites, and the traffic that you get will
actually be automated traffic, not real traffic. Pay-per-click advertising, or
PPC as it is known, is not the same asthese sites that promise traffic for a
fee.
Go to Google and do a search for “buy website traffic” and make sure NOT
to buy from any of those, because this is useless traffic that in the
end will get you banned!
2. Do not spend hours, or even use automated software to submit your site to
free classified ad sites or free for all linksites. This only results in lots of
spam for you. It does not result in traffic.
There is one exception to this rule: Craig’s List works very well and it is
free. The only catch is that you can’t post identical ads in different
categories or regions. You have to change the ad each time.

3. Don’t use pop ups. People hate these, and most people now have software
installed that keeps pop ups from popping. Avoid other irritating elements
on your site as well, such as blinking text and music, and colors that clash.
Your visitors will hit the back button in one second flat! Besides – popups
are against the Adsense TOS.
4. Don’t use false statements or exaggerated statements in your advertising.
This may get you traffic, but it will irritate the traffic, and they won’t click
on links. Instead, they will either close the browser, or hit the back button. You may
not be selling anything, but this is false advertisement none-the-less, and
it makes people very angry.
There are two huge mistakes that many newcomers make:
1. The biggest is doing nothing at all. You can build a site, but if you
don’t advertise it in anyway, you are not going to get a drop of traffic.
2. The second biggest mistake is not tracking your advertising. If you
don’t know what works, and what doesn’t, you will be wasting time and
possibly money.
Track all of your advertisements to see where your traffic comes from, and
where it doesn’t come from. In the end, you will be glad that you did.
Overall, that’s all that you need to avoid. Other than that, you need to make sure
that you are using proven site promotion techniques, which are listed above.
These other outdated methods simply do not work. They are not worth your time,
effort, or money. You need to know where the traffic comes from, and you also
need to know how well your ads are performing.
You may have a great amount of traffic, but few clicks. It’s important to track the
traffic and the ad performance, so you know what to fix!

Traffic Generation - Article Marketing
If you have an AdSense website, you need traffic to make moneyfrom that site!
There are numerous ways to get traffic, but since we all have limited time, you
want to cut right to the chase, and find out what works. Article marketing is one
of the best traffic generation methods you can use.
Article marketing is a very successful and easy concept. It is used by all successful
Internet Marketers, and when it comes to website promotion, you must look at
things from an Internet Marketers point of view, even though, as an AdSense
publisher, you aren’t exactly selling any product.
Again, the concept is easy. You write a short article, approximately 400 words
long. At the bottom of the article, you write an ‘author’s resource box.’ This is just
a simple paragraph of text that says who the author is, gives a little background
info on the author, and most importantly - a link to the author’s website. It’s
about five to seven sentences long.
Once the article is ready, you visit numerous article directories, which are also
referred to as article banks and article repositories, and submit your article.
That’s all there is to article marketing.
Now, many people use these article directories. They go there to find information,
or to find content for their own websites, blogs, or newsletters. The article that
you submitted is free for them to use, as long as they publish it with the author’s
resource box intact, and they don’t make any changes to the article.
Because so many other people can (and will) publish your article elsewhere, it
becomes viral. This drives traffic to your site, on a continual basis. But one article
submission is not going to be enough. You need to be submitting one article per
week, to at least the top ten article directories.
Note that there are faster ways to get traffic, such as using Google AdWords, but
article marketing is free, and again, the traffic that you will eventually get from
the articles being published is fairly steady.
Here are five important tips for article marketing:
1. Don’t use the same content that you have on your site. Your site could end
up getting penalized for duplicate content.
2. Before you write your first article, visit one of the popular directories, such
as Ezine Articles at http://www.ezinearticles.com/to see what your
article should be like. You can also get ideas for your author’s resource box
here. 3. Writers Block? Lack of time? Use PLR articles, or hire a ghostwriter to
write and submit articles for you. Make sure that you are submitting one
article per week! If you use private label rights (PLR) articles, make sure
that you rewrite them before submitting them.
4. Make sure that the topic of your article matches the topic of your site, and
the topic of the ads that are being displayed through your Google AdSense
ads. This will get you the best results.
5. Use your keywords in your article. This is search engine fodder; it drives
the article up in the search engine results, which in turn brings more
traffic to your site.
Don’t expect immediate results. Sometimes,it takes the article directories several
days, and in some cases, several weeks, topublish your article. You need to be
using additional traffic generation techniques as well.
Even if you aren’t seeing results from your article marketing techniques, keep at
it. Remember, it takes time for it to ‘kick in,’ but when it does, it is well worth the
effort.

Traffic Generation – Blogs
You’ve probably heard that there is a great deal of money to be made by using
blogs – whether you are into affiliate marketing, or an AdSense publisher. You
can use a blog in several different ways.
First, you can use just the blog, as opposed to having a separate static website.
You can also use a blog to drive traffic to a static website. Either way works, but in
the long run, it’s easier to have a blog, with your own domain, hosted on a web
server, than it is to operate both a blog and a website.
Promoting a blog is much easier and faster than promoting a website, because
blogs are so interactive.
For instance, people can come to your blog, subscribe to it, leave comments on it,
and go to their own blogs and write about something that you wrote about, quote
you and leave a trackback. This works the opposite way as well.
To promote a blog, there are very specific things you do:
1. You ping your blog after each post. You can do this at a site such as
http://www.pingomatic.com/, which will send the ping to multiple
blog directories at one time.
2. You use social bookmarks each time you make a post, tagging the post
with your keywords. You can quickly and easily send out multiple
bookmarks at one time by using a free service such as
http://www.onlywire.com/
3. You burn your feed at a free site such as http://www.feedster.com/.
This lists your feed in their directory, so that people may subscribe before
they’ve ever even visited your blog.
4. You visit relevant blogs that belongto others, and leave relevant comments
(not comment spam) with a link back to your own blog.
5. You quote other people’s blogs – just portions, not the entire post – and
link to it using your trackback feature. Your link to that post will
automatically appear on their trackback list for that post, if they have
enabled trackbacks.
6. You use the same promotional techniques that you use for a static website,
along with the five techniques listed above. If you can, make a blog post each day. Otherwise, you should be making a blog
post each and every week, once a week. If you’re blog isn’t updated, you can’t
really promote it very well.
If you want to use the other method, where you have a blog and a website, you
can do this as well. The idea here is to use the same promotional techniques for
the blog, and then in each blog post, point to your website.
As you can see, if you are an AdSense publisher, this may be a bit redundant,
since you can publish the same information on your blog, and it gets promoted in
much the same way – and you can put AdSense on your blog just as you can on
static webpages.
Generally, if someone has both a blog and a website, it is because they are
promoting several products, or their own product. Again, as an AdSense
publisher, with no other source of revenue, it makes sense to just have a blog,
instead of a static website as well.
A Blog Auto Poster can automate lots of the tedious tasks of getting
new content to your blogs. Here’s a cool tool you can use if you are
using Wordpress blogs:

Traffic Generation – Social Networking
Have you heard of MySpace.com If not, it means that you’ve been living in a
cave somewhere in the middle of nowhere,with no access to any news what-soever.
Seriously - MySpace is the most popular social networking site in existence, and
it’s one of the most trafficked sites on the Internet today.
What does this mean for you? It means that you can use it to drive traffic to your
AdSense site. You can take advantage of all of the traffic that MySpace gets. It’s
sitting there waiting for you to come and get it!
Social Networking is an element of Web 2.0 that has really gained in popularity
over the years. Everyone is doing it, and this is a great way to find and drive
traffic.
Simply go to http://www.myspace.com/and set up your profile. It’s free. You
can find a multitude of free layouts for your MySpace page, and really dress it up.
Once your page is ready to go, start networking with other people.
Visit other people’s pages, and request to be added to their friends list. When you
are on their friends list, they are on yours. Build your friends list.
MySpace will provide you with a blog. Blog about various topics within your
niche, and be sure to use your keywords. This gets indexed in the search engines.
In all blog posts, point to your website. You will also be building inbound links to
your site for search engine optimization purposes.
Post comments on other people’s pages. Thisis similar to visiting other people’s
blogs and posting comments for the purpose of driving traffic to your own blog,
but you will be driving traffic to your own profile page instead – and ultimately to
your website.
Next, join groups that relate to your topic. Post messages to the group, and use
your signature file. This is much like forum marketing. You can also send
broadcasts out to your friends through MySpace.
Be sure to post your website as your favorite website on your profile as well! The
one thing that you must not do is advertise to your friends. You will lose them
very quickly. You can even get banned from MySpace for being a ‘spammer.’
MySpace is geared towards young adults. If your topic wouldn’t be of any interest
to them, find a different networking site. There are numerous such sites out
there. Ecademy.com and LinkedIn.com are two such examples. FacE-Book.com is also quite popular.
The key is to be active. Each week, post to the blog on your social networking
profile. Send out a broadcast, post a message to your groups, post comments on
your friend’s pages, and find new friends as well.
You can find more information about social networking, and more social
networking sites, by typing in ‘social networking’ in your favorite search engine.
Social networking is big. It’s where people are going when they log on to their
personal computers (and often their computers at work).
Traffic comes from traffic. You get traffic from the search engines not only
because you rank high, but because that search engine gets traffic. You get traffic
from forum marketing because the forums that you participate in get traffic.
Since traffic essentially comes from traffic,you need to make social networking a
part of your overall traffic generation strategy – because the social networking
sites have tons of traffic.
Be careful! Social Networking is fun, and you can find that you spend too much
time doing it, and not pay attention to other promotional techniques. This is a
mistake. Make sure that you participate regularly, but on a schedule. Have a
starting and stopping time before you login to the site! Remember your purpose.
I’ve found the perfect guide on MySpace, which will take you by the
hand and guide you through all the pitfalls...

“You need Social Bookmarking!”
Social bookmarking is a key element of Web 2.0, and it is a great way to get a
great deal of traffic, in a very short amount of time. It is very easy and fast to do,
and it’s also free.
Social bookmarking sites are essentially places where people who are registered
can list – or bookmark – their favorite sites. Those bookmarks are shared with all
other users of the social bookmarking site as well. Millions of people use these
sites on a daily basis.
Here is what you do. You go to http://www.onlywire.com/and register.
Again, it’s free. Once you’ve registered and logged in, you will be presented with
what looks like a form. This is actually a list of social bookmarking sites, and you
need to open up each of those sites (in a new page or tab) and register with them.
Go back to the page at onlywire.com and put in the username and password you
used for each of those sites, and click the save button. Now, follow the directions
on the site, and move the onlywire.com icon up into your toolbar. You are ready
to start social bookmarking!
Go to each page on your website. Click the icon in your toolbar, and you will be
brought to a page at onlywire.com. Fill in the information, tagging that page with
the keywords that are relevant to it. Hit the submit button. Onlywire.com
instantly sends that bookmark, along with its tags (i.e. keywords), to all of those
social bookmarking sites.
Do that for each page on your site, and each time you add a new page to your site.
Now, when other members of those social bookmarking sites are looking for
information, they go to their favorite social bookmarking site, type in their
keyword, and if it is a keyword that you used, your site pops up in the results.
Again, you get traffic fairly fast from social bookmarking.
It takes approximately one hour to get fully set up for social bookmarking, but
bookmarking one page takes less than one minute. So, even if you have a twenty
page website, it will only take you an hour and twenty minutes to get fully set up,
and get each of those pages bookmarked.
You can also ask others to add your page to their favorite social bookmarking site.
Unlike search engines, where there are a variety of factors in play that determine
how high you rank, with the social bookmarking sites, when more people addyour site to their bookmarks at the socialnetworking sites, the higher your page
appears in the search results at those sites.
You can’t pay them for a higher listing. So, ask friends and relatives to bookmark
your site, and also post an invitation to dothis on your website directly as well.
You will also be building inbound links to your site, which will aid in search
engine optimization. Remember that these sites are considered ‘important’ by the
search engines, which makes those inbound links very valuable.
Note that many people now use social bookmarking sites to find information that
they are interested in more than they use search engines. The search engines
seem to have become polluted with advertisements that may not even be related
to the keywords.
For a more visual approach to socialbookmarking, here’s some videos
that I highly recommend...

Do that for each page on your site, and each time you add a new page to your site.
Now, when other members of those social bookmarking sites are looking for
information, they go to their favorite social bookmarking site, type in their
keyword, and if it is a keyword that you used, your site pops up in the results.
Again, you get traffic fairly fast from social bookmarking.
It takes approximately one hour to get fully set up for social bookmarking, but
bookmarking one page takes less than one minute. So, even if you have a twenty
page website, it will only take you an hour and twenty minutes to get fully set up,
and get each of those pages bookmarked.
You can also ask others to add your page to their favorite social bookmarking site.
Unlike search engines, where there are a variety of factors in play that determine
how high you rank, with the social bookmarking sites, when more people addyour site to their bookmarks at the socialnetworking sites, the higher your page
appears in the search results at those sites.
You can’t pay them for a higher listing. So, ask friends and relatives to bookmark
your site, and also post an invitation to dothis on your website directly as well.
You will also be building inbound links to your site, which will aid in search
engine optimization. Remember that these sites are considered ‘important’ by the
search engines, which makes those inbound links very valuable.
Note that many people now use social bookmarking sites to find information that
they are interested in more than they use search engines. The search engines
seem to have become polluted with advertisements that may not even be related
to the keywords.
For a more visual approach to socialbookmarking, here’s some videos
that I highly recommend...
Traffic Generation – Google Adwords
Some AdSense publishers use Google AdWords to drive traffic to their sites. Now,
in case you didn’t know, Google AdWords is the program that supplies the ads
that you are showing on your site with Google AdSense. Does it make sense to use
AdWords to promote an AdSense site? In some cases, it does – it’s called
“Adsense Arbitrage”
It is tricky, however. Remember that you are targeting high paying keywords.
This means that if you target those same keywords with your own AdWords
campaign, you would not only be paying a large amount of money, you would
also run the risk of not having the money that you earn from AdSense cover the
cost of your AdWords ads.
Here is the secret. First, set a budget for your AdWords campaign that you can
afford to pay, regardless of your AdSense income. Next, don’t choose the same
keywords for your AdWords ads as you do for your AdSense site. Now you are
probably wondering how that would work out.
Let’s say that your website is focused on the topic of weight loss for diabetic
women. You could target a lower payingkeyword for your AdWords campaign,
such as diabetes or diabetic supplies. Again, it is tricky, and it does take some
thought.
It is vital that you keep a close eye on your ad campaigns and your clicks. You can
easily see how much you’ve spent, and how much you’ve earned in relation to
what you have spent. If you are spending more than you are earning, you need to
rethink using Google AdWords, or tweak and tune until you are earning more
than you spend.
Aside from that, setting up a Google AdWords campaign is very easy. You simply
sign up for the program, write your ad, choose your keywords, set your budget,
set how much you are willing to pay for eachclick, and activate the ad to run.
While you are targeting different keywords, those keywords may be relevant
enough to your site for the ad to appear on your own site! You don’t want this to
happen. Go into your AdSense account, and using the filter, exclude your site
from appearing in ads on your site.
You can target your own keywords with your AdWords ads also, but again, this is
tricky, and you need to make sure that you are bidding low for those keywords.
That, in turn, gets you less traffic, but with a budget set, Google will work to get
your ad clicked on each day until the daily budget has been met. Ideally, you should not use Google AdWords to promote a Google AdSense site
until you have a thorough understanding of how each program works, and you
are sure that you can generate more income than you are spending on the
AdWords ads.
Again, use caution, and remember that you will be paying for each click that you
receive.
Also, take advantage of free credits for AdWords. Google offers free credits for
signing up, and you can elect to take surveys and such for which you will be given
credits as well.
These credits can add up, and you should take advantage of them whenever
possible.
It is important to note that if you are going to pay for traffic, you should not waste
that traffic. That’s why you should always make sure to capture your visitors
email; building an opt-in list, so that you can recycle that traffic!
To build an opt-in list, you need an Autoresponder, such as Aweber.comand you
need to put code on every single page for people to sign up for your list. Once
someone signs up, you can bring them back to your site over and over again
through email marketing.
