The Best Website Traffic Sources

" That means the visitors come as a result of desire to find out more on a specific, nihce topic, not as a result of "exit" traffic or membership in a "safe" list where members simply pitch each other in an incestuous spam fest. Good traffic comes from persons clicking links on topics targeted to their interests and getitng directed to a website containing information they want and expect as a result of clicking the link. Bottom line, when you get right down to it, the best, most dependable sources of targeted traffic come from links that people click. So, next time you're considering spending money on a traffic source, understand that unless it involves a targeted link that a targeted visitor can click to get to your website, think twice before opening up your wallet. To my knowledge, only three ways eixst to get a link to your site: buy it, "voodoo" it, or grow it. ** Buy Links** Buying links actually rates the fastest way to get traffic to your website.

You simply sign up for Google AdoWrds at Google.Com or you open an account with Overture.Com.
You then run ads with a link on those sites and any time someone clicks the link, you pay for the click through a relatively straightforward bidding proecss based on the popularity of the keyword. You can also buy links in ezines, newsletters, and on other people's website either on a per-click basis, for a period of time (a week or month), or in exchange for paying them a commission if a sale gets made as a result of a click on the link. ** Linking "VoodDoo" ** Linking "voodoo" refers to attempting to manipulate the search engines into displaying links to your website.

You can find a large number of auotmated program programs online at any given time that will claim to help you get more search engine traffic. Depending on the intensity of competition in a specific market, and the fact that search engines change their rules frequently, pursuing search engine links can quickly turn into the online equivalent of Alice chasing the rabbit down a hole to "Wonderland." ** Grow Links ** I personally prefer this method to get links to my websites: growing them.

The hottest type of link to get involves one person telling another person, either explicitly or implicitly, they should click the link and visit the web site at the other end.
One way to do this is simply to exchange links with another site which taregts the same audience as your web site.
You can manage this process manually or use one of the many software packages that will mange the process for you.
A search on Google.Com for "reciprocal link manager software" yields a good start. The easiest way to grow links is through using articles other people post on their websites which link back to your website. The reason articles work so well for "growing" links involves the numerous ways in which articles get distributed online, each of which can create dozens, hundreds, even tohusands of different links back to your website by publishing a single article. As time goes by, and as the article spreads around, the number of links literally "grows" over time (but unlike a houseplant, you don't have to water an article!
