7 Methods the Pros Use to Increase Website Traffic
It is no accident that the highest value businesses on the Web are not necessarily the ones with the highest annual profits, but rather the ones with the most website traffic. This is because consistent website traffic presents unlimited opportunities for conversion into profits. Businesses that have the capital to do so concentrate for years on building website traffic before they even try to make a profit. However, those of us in the real world with small online businesses need to be more balanced. We need to increase website traffic and make a profit early on in our business pursuits.
This article is an overview of the key methods the pros use to increase website traffic without breaking their budgets. After reading this, you should either have some new ideas about how to increase website traffic or have reinforced your drive to use these ideas to increase your website traffic.
If you are like most of the small businesses on the Web, you're scratching and clawing for every site visitor you can get. The Web is the most competitive environment in the world because everyone with an Internet connection can do business on the Web. However, the Web is also the greatest business opportunity in the world because there are about a billion people surfing around. What other marketplace can match that? Of course, none of those people do you any good unless you find a way to drive them to your website.
So, enough talk about the obvious importance of finding ways to increase website traffic. Below is a list of 7 important methods the pros use to increase website traffic without breaking their budgets:
1. Take part in online communities and forums. You can establish expertise, credibility, goodwill, and friendships with potential customers when you provide help to others in these communities and forums. You can also learn more about your customers and the needs people have that you can fill. You will increase website traffic for the long-term by being helpful in forums in many cases because these forum postings could be available on the Web for many years and help many people.
2. Offer a helpful or interesting newsletter related to the content of your business website. This is another way of gaining credibility with potential customers. If you make your newsletter very interesting, it will also provide a regular advertising medium to those with an interest in your products. So you will be increasing website traffic from those likely to buy from you.

3. Write articles related to the content of your business website that you can publish and/or make available for other sites and newsletters to publish. You will gain credibility as an expert for the contents of your articles and from the willingness of others to recognize your expertise by publishing your articles. You will also gain exposure, as your name and website will appear at the bottom everywhere your articles are used.
4. Swap links with websites related to your business website. This will help establish credibility for you because you are cited by other websites. More importantly, it will increase website traffic from people interested in your type of website. A further benefit will be that search engines will recognize links to your sites as an endorsement of your credibility on the topic and thus put you higher in search results.
5. Make sure the content on your website uses more nouns than pronouns. Search engines don't know what objects pronouns refer to when they see pronouns. And, the people doing searches use the noun objects themselves for their searches. So your websites should include the nouns for which they are searching. And you thought learning objects, nouns, and pronouns in school was useless?
6. Consider spending most of your advertising budget on search engine advertising. This advertising not only will increase website traffic, but you only have to pay for website traffic from people doing a search for words describing what you offer. This increases your chance of closing sales directly off your advertising budget.
7. Offer things to your customers for free that improve your brand image or contain advertisements that your customers will pass around to others, increasing your exposure. This is often referred to as viral marketing because the marketing spreads from one person to the next instead of from you to each customer. The best way to achieve this is to offer something unique that is either extremely useful or entertaining. It is a definite plus if what you offer appeals specifically to your target market so that you will increase website traffic from buying customers.

What to Do When Your Customers Don't Hear Your Call to Action
For many small business owners, email is an important marketing
tool. Email helps you keep in touch with customers and prospects,
it allows you to demonstrate how you help customers thereby
building credibility, and email leads to more sales.
When done well, email is an awesome guerrilla marketing tool.
"Done Well" doesn't mean you have absolute killer copy. In my
experience you can have a well-written, relevant marketing
message and still blow it when it comes to getting readers to
take action. If no one in your audience takes action, what's the
point?
==============================
The Marketing Message and the Call to Action
==============================
A well-crafted marketing message addresses the following:
1. Who the message is meant for (example: real estate brokers)
and the problem (hard to sell homes in bad economy)
2. What they've tried to solve the problem (example: more
advertising, open houses, etc)
3. Why what they tried doesn't work (example: open houses
attract people who aren't really serious about buying)
4. What they need to do (strategies to better screen for serious
buyers)
5. Why you are well qualified to solve their problems
(experience, track record, education, etc.)
6. Call to action (specific steps folks reading your message
should take to work with you)
This article focuses on #6. Reason being I see so many mistakes
made with the Call to Action and unfortunately, if you don't
have a strong call to action, you'll lose a lot of genuinely
interested prospects.
==============================
Example: Call to Action -- Done Badly
==============================
Let's say you're the real estate broker reading through the
message I outlined. You've been struggling because it's taking
so long to sell the homes you have listed. Now you're hopeful.
This company seems to have a solution for your problem. Great!
You want to know more. The call to action is: "Contact Dave
dave@daveco.com.
I see this type of Call to Action all the time. Seems nice and
straightforward.
Yet, statistics show most people don't follow through on these
requests. Why? Put yourself in the shoes of your prospects. Are
you stressed? Yes, probably. Now I know when I get stressed out
the simplest decision can feel overwhelming. That "simple" call
to action, "contact Dave" is actually requiring me to do
something out of my daily routine: to contact Dave. In addition,
I have to make a bunch of decisions including:
1. When should I contact Dave? Now? No, what if he calls me and
makes a sales pitch. I don't want to deal with that.
2. What should I say in my email? Should I introduce myself? Talk
about the problem. How much information do I need to provide?
3. Do I even want to contact this Dave guy? What if this is a
scam. Maybe Dave is really a nefarious hacker collecting emails
so he can steal my identity!
4. and so on.
Your simple call to action is not so simple.
==============================
Requirements for an Effective Call to Action
==============================
So if a simple "call Dave" isn't enough information, what does
it take?
To get someone reading your message to take the next step, you
need to provide enough information for your reader to see how the
action fits within their current situation. Ways to help your
readers fit your request in include:
When to contact
How to contact
What to ask for
What to expect when they contact you
==============================
Example: Call to Action -- Makeover
==============================
Let's go back to the message written to realtors looking for
sales help. Our realtor is feeling stressed and discouraged
because the slow economy means it takes her twice as long to sell
homes. She reads the marketing message from Dave and Co, and it
looks like Dave can help. She wants to know more and reads this
call to action.
"Get our free 10-page report, 'Secrets to Sales Success in
Tough Markets.' Call toll-free 1-800-555-1234 and leave your
name and mailing address. You'll receive your report within 7
business days. If you call before January 15, we'll include our
special guide, '50 Tips for Presenting a House to Sell.'" Like
the earlier version, this message is short and to the point. But
it also provides important details that give the reader the
structure need to take action:
* Exactly what to do (call a 1-800 number and leave mailing
information)
* What they'll get (a free 10-page report)
* When to do it (by January 15 to get the report and bonus
guide)
* What to expect (they'll get the report within 7 business
days)
Other simple details that make call to actions more effective
include maps, driving directions, hours of operation, special
discount codes, and coupons.
==============================
Bottom Line
==============================
If the marketing message on your website, brochure, postcard, or
ad is well-done but the number of people responding to your offer
is dismal, take a look at your call to action. Adding a few
simple details that help your prospects understand how taking
action fits into their life may be all it takes to turn your
offer from "OW" to "WOW."

Making Money with High Paying Adsense Keywords
Google was ingenious when they came up with Adsense. Not only do
they get an opportunity to make additional money from their
search engines, but they also allow Internet marketers a chance
to make money in an easier manner. Why is this so? Well, with
traditional affiliate marketing, you must make a sale before you
receive commission. But with Adsense, all you have to do is
create content that will produce ads that readers will click on.
And in return for just a click, you will receive a few cents or
in many cases, SEVERAL dollars.
This is where high paying Adsense keywords come in. So how can
you find these high paying words? There are two approaches. The
easiest one involves looking up pre-made lists. The other one
involves you doing the research through Google’s Adwords tool.
Simply enter in the term you’re interested in, and the tool will
tell you how much each click is worth.
In terms of actual value, there are high paying keywords that are
worth more than $20. There are even a few that are in the range
of $40 to $69. In both cases, these keywords tend to revolve
around lawyers, debt, credit cards, schooling and illness. And,
contrary to what some may think, often times the most expensive
Adsense keywords revolve around long-tail terms over more
generalized phrases.
Either way, if you decide to promote these keywords, you could
become independently wealthy relatively quickly. However, you do
need to be aware of some things before going after these
ultra-profitable of keywords.
First off, you must remember that Google will take its cut from
each keyword. And you will not know how much they will take until
the stats start coming in. So, don’t assume that 1,000 clicks
from a $45 keyword will equal $45,000. Your cut will end up being
much less than that. But it will still be much more generous than
if you promoted a keyword that was only worth .05.
In addition, be aware that the higher paying keywords tend to not
drive much traffic because there is so much competition
surrounding them. So, unless you can beat the competition with a
Fortune 500 business, you’ll have to be more creative with how
you promote these keywords.
For example, consider the keyword “mesothelioma treatment
options” which is currently worth $32.09. There are a ton of
websites ranked for this keyword, so you can forget about search
engine traffic for this term. What you will have to do is drive
traffic through other terms with Internet articles. And, you will
have to think outside of the box to do this.
For instance, instead of promoting “mesothelioma treatment
options” you could promote mesothelioma message boards, books or
treatment centers. You could talk about mesothelioma and family
support. Ultimately, if you put your heart and mind into it,
there’s no limit to what you will come up with.
In conclusion, high paying keywords could be your ticket towards
financial independence. Yet, remember, even the gurus don’t earn
money overnight. You will still need to put in a lot of work
through proper SEO and keyword optimization. Once you do that,
the profits will surely start to come in.

For Bigger, Faster Profits, Keep Your Business Simple and Overhead Low
Are you ready to earn BIG money? It's been proven over and over
again the people who make the MOST money are those who own their
own business.
The average SMALL business owner, and I mean SMALL, earns more in
their own business than they ever did working for someone else.
And what about those businesses that fail? The US Small Business
Administration says almost all those owners get back up and start
a new business where they earn good money.
These days most people already understand owning a business can
greatly improve their lifestyle. What they usually don't know is
just how to design their business so it generates maximum
profits.
Most would say common sense tells you the bigger the business,
the BIGGER the profits. Grow your business into a multi-million
dollar building, employ 200 people, spend $2 Million on
advertising -- and hey, you MUST be making LOTS of money!
But that very often IS NOT the case. A large restaurant may need
to do $100,000 dollars in sales each month just to break even.
What I'm getting to is THIS -- To make the most money FAST, keep
your business SIMPLE. And keep your overhead LOW!
Remember the old principle that is as true today as it was when
Benjamin Franklin wrote it two centuries ago: a penny saved is a
penny earned. All that money you DON'T spend can be counted as
PROFITS.
One of my favorite stories goes back to the very beginning of the
McDonalds restaurant chain. McDonalds founder Ray Kroc visited
the tiny McDonalds Brothers drive-in to find out why they were
making so much money. What he found was the original McDonalds
was keeping customers happy with just 9 menu items made with a
dozen ingredients. Talk about simple!
Not only that, but the first McDonalds required just a few
minimum-wage employees, keeping labor costs very low.
Kroc, who already owned his own coast-to-coast business, was
impressed beyond belief at just how SIMPLE the first McDonalds
was, and just how LOW the overhead. Kroc immediately understood
that McDonalds was a huge profit maker, one that could be
DUPLICATED around the country and eventually around the world.
Recently I have been telling people to get into the food service
industry. No matter how deep the recession goes, people will
ALWAYS need to eat. Most restaurants see their sales go UP as
many other industries watch their belts tighten.
But just like Ray Kroc, I'm not a huge fan of running a BIG
restaurant with a big expensive staff and huge monthly bills.
There simply isn't enough room for profits. And keeping up with
all the inherent complexity and headaches can drive an otherwise
sane owner over the edge.
Instead, I advise starting your own restaurant delivery business.
You provide the one IN-DEMAND service MOST restaurants don't.
You bring restaurants' delicious food to their customers,
keeping a nice profit in your own business that is super simple
and has remarkably low overhead.
I show you how to do this in a detailed report that gives you the
step-by-step process of starting your own SIMPLE business with
LOW overhead.
So what are you waiting for? Get started now. And keep your
operation simple and profitable.

again the people who make the MOST money are those who own their
own business.
The average SMALL business owner, and I mean SMALL, earns more in
their own business than they ever did working for someone else.
And what about those businesses that fail? The US Small Business
Administration says almost all those owners get back up and start
a new business where they earn good money.
These days most people already understand owning a business can
greatly improve their lifestyle. What they usually don't know is
just how to design their business so it generates maximum
profits.
Most would say common sense tells you the bigger the business,
the BIGGER the profits. Grow your business into a multi-million
dollar building, employ 200 people, spend $2 Million on
advertising -- and hey, you MUST be making LOTS of money!
But that very often IS NOT the case. A large restaurant may need
to do $100,000 dollars in sales each month just to break even.
What I'm getting to is THIS -- To make the most money FAST, keep
your business SIMPLE. And keep your overhead LOW!
Remember the old principle that is as true today as it was when
Benjamin Franklin wrote it two centuries ago: a penny saved is a
penny earned. All that money you DON'T spend can be counted as
PROFITS.
One of my favorite stories goes back to the very beginning of the
McDonalds restaurant chain. McDonalds founder Ray Kroc visited
the tiny McDonalds Brothers drive-in to find out why they were
making so much money. What he found was the original McDonalds
was keeping customers happy with just 9 menu items made with a
dozen ingredients. Talk about simple!
Not only that, but the first McDonalds required just a few
minimum-wage employees, keeping labor costs very low.
Kroc, who already owned his own coast-to-coast business, was
impressed beyond belief at just how SIMPLE the first McDonalds
was, and just how LOW the overhead. Kroc immediately understood
that McDonalds was a huge profit maker, one that could be
DUPLICATED around the country and eventually around the world.
Recently I have been telling people to get into the food service
industry. No matter how deep the recession goes, people will
ALWAYS need to eat. Most restaurants see their sales go UP as
many other industries watch their belts tighten.
But just like Ray Kroc, I'm not a huge fan of running a BIG
restaurant with a big expensive staff and huge monthly bills.
There simply isn't enough room for profits. And keeping up with
all the inherent complexity and headaches can drive an otherwise
sane owner over the edge.
Instead, I advise starting your own restaurant delivery business.
You provide the one IN-DEMAND service MOST restaurants don't.
You bring restaurants' delicious food to their customers,
keeping a nice profit in your own business that is super simple
and has remarkably low overhead.
I show you how to do this in a detailed report that gives you the
step-by-step process of starting your own SIMPLE business with
LOW overhead.
So what are you waiting for? Get started now. And keep your
operation simple and profitable.

How To Be Really Successful In Your Home Business and/or
The traditional method of growing most work from home business
and network marketing is by spending hours on the phone calling
prospects, convincing and converting them into customers. Out of
these leads that you generate, you can recruit representatives
to further increase your profits from your home business.
Keeping customers satisfied, gaining their trust and building a
strong relationship with them are just some of the things to
remember with your home business and network marketing. This is
all part of Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
You have a few options - you can either purchase or generate
your own leads – but once you have enough leads, then you have
to know what to do with it. There is such a thing as a `bad
lead' where you will get prospects' objections and rejections.
However, there is a disadvantage in getting the services of a
lead generation company since some of them might sell re-used
leads – which you will not get to discover until it is way too
late. So, please conduct your due diligence first.
Also, in your home business, it is important to learn how you
can get your prospects to always say yes, instead of hearing a
bunch of no's from prospects. In addition, you need to make sure
that your advertising money is worth it. Thus, you should
measure and evaluate the Return on Investments (ROI) on the
various advertising methods that you are using.
With Internet marketing, you have to be innovative and find
ways to develop a well-thought out promotional campaign. Try to
incorporate automation, for example, use of autoresponders in
your business sales funnel & your leads generation methods.
However, you cannot predict the results. You may have an
extremely profitable and successful promotional campaign one
time and then completely fail the next time. The important thing
is for you to evaluate what went right and what went wrong. Do a
post-mortem on your advertising methods. Reinvest in those
methods that worked well.
With the popularity of blogging, you can use this in expanding
your business and generating leads. For example, if you are an
entrepreneur who has a small fashion business, you can have a
blog where users interested in fashion clothes can post their
comments.
Being a home-based business entrepreneur, you need to market
and promote your business. You can easily do this and generate a
lot of lead by having the visitors on your blog post comments
and address their questions and feedbacks to you, personally.
This would not just add on to your lead but also give you a
feedback of what most of your prospective customers want or
need.
To further automate your home business, you may want to
consider the use of autoresponders, which allows you to send out
pre-written messages to your prospects on a preset interval
time. Imagine "freeing' yourself from the ardeous tasks of
manually tracking and writing emails to all your prospects in
different times!
In a nutshell, in order to be successful in your home business
&/or network marketing, you need to evaluate and find a business
platform which gives you the highest level of automation
available, to achieve your online success.

work, or transitioned work, is still office approved. The person
in charge permits you to perform a number of your tasks from an
alternative location.

get a job done. This is the work at home job in its truest
sense, because you do not have to leave the house or change out
of your pajamas to go to work.
4) Telecommute Option Work

work from the company's office, or not. You can decide to create
your own home office or make the daily trip to the office.
5) Freelance or contract work

office or to travel to an actual office. You are hired by a
client to undertake a particular project or task and this is on
a per-job basis.
6) Internet Marketing
Internet marketing is the endorsement of products through the
Internet. You can either sell tangible products or infoproducts
such as e-books, reports, and software. It can be a lucrative
work-from-home business depending on your effort and
resourcefulness.
By practice, most Internet marketers have successfully learned
direct sales strategy as their approach in selling their
products. As an Internet marketer, you must realize there are
gazillions of competitions out there. However, many Internet
marketers are now becoming more adept in other ways of selling
their products.

ascertain which type of position is best for you. The above
overview is intended as a guide to help you to make a more
informed decision.
Of course, working from home does not allow you to take it easy
all of the time. You still have to perform the work. The fact
that you can choose where to do that work is a bonus that should
not be taken for granted.
