Traffic: Don't Under Estimate It's Importance

I get very frustrated with all the products that get released promising
to help you make million of Dollars but don't mention the most
important aspect of any site. How to generate traffic.

When I was starting out I spent lots of money on site building tools
and keyword tools and nothing on learning how to generate traffic. I now
know how stupid that was. The tools might have been the best in the
world but without traffic the end results were worthless.

You can have the best looking site in the world, with the perfect
keywords but if you don't know how to firstly attract the search engine
spiders and then real human visitors then the site is going to have no
value. Try selling a website and the first thing you will be asked is "What
is the Income & what's the traffic" The income is not particularly
important. If I am buying a site I actually want the income to be as low
as possible as it will be cheaper for me. Given a choice of a site with
an income of $100 a month and 1000 visitors or a site with $10 per
month and 2000 Visitors I'll always go for the visitors.

Take time to develop your own traffic delivery system and you'll have
one less thing to worry about. Take time to find out what works and what
doesn't. I created a video for my members yesterday about how to get a
site indexed and start generating traffic and I found something that
got a new site into Google in less than 18 hours.

Using that method was completely new to me and although it impressed me
it might have been a lucky one-off. I used it on another new domain
this morning and found that it only took 3 hours before my site was
referenced in Google. 3 Hours! Now that is very impressive.

I've read lots of books on traffic generation and not one of them has
mentioned this service. This is not surprising as the reason for this is
that the Internet is changing on an almost daily basis what worked
great last month doesn't work as well this month. Take Squidoo for
example, it used to be the best way to get a site indexed but not anymore.

One great method of seeing what services and sites are worth putting
your links on is by looking at Internet marketing niches. Internet
marketers have never been slow in finding the best ways of getting indexed.
Look at what sites are ranking for various search terms. If you find a
web 2.0 site or a blog site test it on your sites and see how it
performs. If it gives you results add it to your list of traffic generators.

By planning your traffic generation using the tools you discover you
can quickly start to dominate search engine listings. By careful
manipulation of your linking strategies it is often possible to grab many of
the top 10 listings.
