The Doctor

If you own your own website you know that one of the main things you need is good website traffic. If no one knows your website is there and no one visits it, then how will you make the sales you need to or get enough clicks through to your affiliate program?
The first way to boost your targeted website traffic is article marketing.

For article marketing you either need to write your own articles or get someone to write articles for you that you can add your resource box to. Your resource box includes your name and a short advert for your website. If your articles are well-related to your website then the people who read your articles will also be interested in what you have to offer on your website and so will probably click through using the link in your resource box. You should post these articles to as many article directories as possible so that people see it. By adding your articles to article directories you also allow other people to print these articles on their websites so long as they still have your resource box and so your website is advertised all over the internet. Once you have posted your articles to the article directories there is nothing else you really need to do (besides maybe write more articles) and the marketing will continue by itself.
The second method to boost your website traffic is forum marketing. Search for forums on Google to do with the subject of your website and then see whether you can answer the questions people are asking on that forum or offer any other helpful advice that is on topic to their discussions. If you build trust with the people in the forums and use your website link in your forum signature then people will get interested in what you have to say and so will follow your link to your website.
Another very popular way to boost your website traffic is by using viral marketing techniques. Viral marketing techniques are where you give away something to people who visit your website (or through join venture giveaways) with your advert in it and then encourage them to give it away to others. By getting others to give away your products you are greatly increasing your advertising efforts and will attract many more people to your website than you could do alone.
A fourth method you could use to boost your website traffic is by advertising in Yahoo or Google email groups. These groups send emails on specific subjects to people who are interested in the subject. Some of these allow you to also post to the group and this is where you can advertise your product. Before posting though take a look at what kind of information the group is receiving, you don?t want to make your post too ?salesy? if others are posting useful information, discussions or problems. If this is the case rather give them the help they need or more information as you would do in an article and then add your website link in your signature. The secret again is to build trust and get people interested in what you have to offer and to post as often as you can, preferably every day.
Another fairly popular way too boost your website traffic is to use traffic exchanges. This method unfortunately has the disadvantage that it is not a targeted advertising method so the quality of your traffic is not as good or as likely to buy your product but it does get people to see your website. There are two types of traffic exchanges ? autosurf and manual surf. The best one to use to get website traffic that actually sees your page is the manual surf option, however it is much easier to get credits to advertise your site on the autosurf traffic exchange as you can ?set it and forget it?. To combine the effectiveness of these two methods I would recommend finding an exchange that offers both and a conversion method. You may then work up points using the autosurf option and then convert these into manual credits so that other people will see your website when they manual surf.
Boosting your website traffic is vital to any online business and these are five methods that you can use to do this. The more targeted the traffic that comes to your website, for instance through the first three methods the better. Start today using article marketing, forum marketing, viral marketing, email groups and traffic exchanges to boost your website traffic.

What if I told you that your website could show up on the first page of results on a major search engine…today?
Let me prove it to you.

One of the fastest ways to get targetted traffic is to pay for it. How? Use a pay-per-click search engine. A search engine is great because you know that people who come to your website were searching for what you sell. Right now, the hands-down top place to go for pay-per-clicks is Google, http://www.google.com.
Go to google.com now. What would your potential customer type in the search box? Type that in the search box. Look at the results that show up for your search terms (keywords). At the top and on the right hand side of the search results page are usually “Sponsored Links” Those are the ads.
Most people who search on google.com don’t know google has ads. That’s because google’s ads look similar to their regular search results. That can make their ads very effective for their advertisers. Clever, huh?
Here’s the best part: Advertisers don’t pay for their ad showing up. They ONLY pay for a visitor.
I usually set up a campaign for $5 and my ads are up and running within minutes. When you set up your ads for the first time, it will take a little longer because you’ll need to fill out your company info and credit card info.
How much will you pay? It depends. Of course you want to pay the minimum, which is $.05 (a US nickel) per click. In a competitive market, other advertisers may have bid higher, which gets them higher positioning on the results page. For example, “satellite TV” is a highly competitive search term. You’re not going to get on the first page with a nickel bid. As I write this, to get the top position on the first page for “satellite TV” the advertiser would need to bid around $6 per click.
You’ll also get to set a daily budget. What’s the maximum you’re willing to pay each day. Remember, you’ll only be charged for per click. For example, you bid .05 per click and set a $2 daily budget. If only 12 people click on your ad today, you’ll only pay 60 cents. Let’s say tomorrow your ad gets 40 clicks. At that point, you’ve reach your daily budget of $2 and your ad will stop showing for your search terms.
You’ll also get to set how long you want your ads to run. One day? Five days? Til the end of the year? Decide on a date for your ad to stop running. Ready to start your first ad campaign?
Go to http://www.google.com/ to set up your own ads on Google. Click on “Advertising Programs”, then choose the “Google Adwords” link. Follow the instructions to setup your first ad campaign. You can always edit it later.
You’ll need to decide:
What will your ad say?
For which search terms do you want your ads to show?
How much you want to pay-per-click?
What’s your daily budget?
How long do you want the campaign to run?
I did this recently for a client who offered a high ticket subscription service. He had a website online for 4 years with no sales. Suddenly, his sales from the yellow pages dried up. He needed his website to spring into action and bring clients.
I quickly set up a dozen Google Adwords ads to see which ones got clicks. The ones that didn’t get clicks, I edited until they brought visitors. Results: Five hundred dollars per month in pay-per-click fees brings him $20,000 in lifetime value clients. Your results may be different, of course.
Is Google Adwords the answer for every business? No. For many businesses, though, it’s a fast and affordable way to bring customers to their websites.

A lot of rumors have been circulating the internet about Google Adsense and how they are cracking down and removing thousand of people’s websites because the content and articles are not unique.

Too many people have attempted to make money online by stealing articles from article directories and uploading them onto their own site. For the last year, it has been stressed amongst affiliates, that content is king. That could not be more wrong. Content is king if it is your own content, and is enriched with keywords that search engines will pick up.
In the past, it was very easy to take some articles from article directories, throw your affiliate link on there and get paid. Or, if they didn’t buy what you were selling, they would atleast click on some adsense ads and you got paid. Google loves it because they get paid as well but the adsense advertisers are fed up. Too many people are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just because they have some copied articles, and some adsense code on their site. It’s not fair, and Google knows it. That is why Google is removing thousands of pages from the search engine index. Those who were making $5,000 a month, now find it hard to rake in $200 a month in Adsense earnings.
If you find yourself in this position, it is time to change your ways because you on your way to being blacklisted by Google. No matter how many pages you add of content, if it is not unique, Google will remove it. You can create thousands of pages, and Google will have them removed before you can submit them to a search engine. Google remains the number one search engine and in order to keep their ranking, they need to cooperate with customers needs. It is hard to offer quality content if the same articles are going to be found on every webpage. Google is known for delivering highly relevant websites when the user enters their search term. If you don’t want to pay a ghost writer to write your articles, and you don’t want to write them yourself, you are going to be in a lot of trouble, because you can’t just steal article content and place it on your pages, or thousands of pages. If your like me, you want to submit some articles, and then earn money while you are on a cruise somewhere on the other side of the world drinking margaritas, or whatever it is you drink. Anyway, to make a long story short, We need to find a way to bring quality content to our subscribers so we can all make money on it, and I have found just the way. If you don’t do this, your site will be blacklisted.
Now don’t be scared here. If you don’t have any articles on your site, you won’t be in any trouble, but if you are stealing articles, or distributing them amongst others, you can be affected.
