Getting Traffic to Your Website for Revenue Sharing

One of the all time problems that Internet marketers have is getting traffic to their websites.  Getting traffic to your website is important, but you can’t just have “any” traffic unless you’re doing revenue sharing.  The great thing about revenue sharing is that you can make money, even off of the window shoppers.  The downside is that you don’t make “as much” per click.  With that in mind, maximum traffic is the goal, and not so much emphasis is on targeted traffic.

Maximizing Traffic — the Beginning Stages

If your plan for maximizing traffic lies in your search engine page ranking, you’re selling yourself short.  Page ranking works, but the wheels of Google often turn way too slowly to have a good start.  From the get-go your page should be optimized, but don’t hold your breath for that page one ranking to begin with or even getting indexed.

If you’re ambitious, you should be maximizing your traffic no more than a second after you get your page published.  Write about it in your blog, tweet all your followers, and update your Facebook.  If you have a mailing list already, tell them.  Spread the word far and wide since the traffic you’re already getting and the backlinks you’ve made will reflect on your page ranking.

Getting New Traffic to Your Site

Of course, it’s great that traffic from your already existing sources is going to your website.  Of course, who doesn’t want more traffic?  There are several ways of getting new traffic to your website.  Creating a new group and inviting all your friends on Facebook is a start.  If they join, Facebook will tell all their friends.  If they join, then Facebook will let all THEIR friends know and so on.  Make friends and influence people!

All this activity and hubbub about your site will naturally increase your page ranking on the search engines.  This is good for the long haul traffic.  Once you see that traffic is starting to come in from these sources, most of your work will be in changing the page content periodically.  It can be an informative blog, which makes content changes perfectly natural.  You can tweak around a few of the page elements.  The idea is to keep people coming back for more.  Of course, you should throw the occasional plug in for your ads.

Revenue Sharing—What It Is and Isn’t

Revenue sharing is a great way to make money off of your traffic without charging them anything.  I’m sure you’ve seen the banner and sidebar ads on a number of websites.  These are the source of revenue sharing income.  Basically, if a viewer clicks on these ads, you make a percentage of the income.

As I said earlier, you don’t tend to make a large percentage of the income from these links…not anything compared to an affiliate commission, anyway.  The plus side is that you make your commission whether or not your click through traffic converts.  Granted, conversions are what your “partner” is hoping for, but that’s not what you’re getting paid for.
