Bing and Twitter are Getting Traffic to Your Website
Posted by: | CommentsBing, the website that’s being touted as Google’s staunch competitor, has given you a new tool for getting traffic to your website. There are also plans for doing a similar thing with Facebook. Do a Bing search for “Twitter,” and see what I’m talking about.
The First Thing You See In the Bing Search
Once you’ve done this Bing search, what’s the first thing you see? You see Tweets given by Twitter. What’s more, you may get to see mentions of other Twitter members and hyperlinks to Twitter Tools and exterior websites.
Interested yet? Now do a Bing search on Ashton Kutcher. Now you’re seeing pictures along with his Tweets. Now, are you excited? Hang on a minute, there’s one more thing you should do. Bing search yourself and see what happens.
Wait…I’m not On Top of the Search Page
You’ll see one of two things. Either your Tweets are at the top of the search page, or they aren’t. More than likely Read More→
Getting Traffic to Your Website by Peer Pressure
Posted by: | CommentsThe party’s at your website, and everyone’s going to be there! Using peer pressure is a great technique for getting traffic to your website. This is one of the great benefits of using social media to drive traffic—that you can more easily explore different psychologies to move traffic.
Conformity is a Driving Need and Good for Driving Traffic
One need that everyone has is to fit in. It’s part of human nature, and you can use it for driving traffic to your website. Freebies are okay, being “the elite” is a good motivation, but nothing compares to doing what all the “cool kids are doing.”
This is especially pertinent in social media like Facebook. How many times do you think that people “like” something just because their friends do? By and large, as social animals, many people just like the same things out of habit.
Great, but Does Conformity Do Anything for Converting Traffic?
Yes, in fact, it does. If you play your cards right, Read More→
When Getting Traffic to Your Website Isn’t Enough
Posted by: | CommentsSome new affiliate marketers think that being extra nice is a good idea when they start doing business. It IS a good strategy for getting traffic to your website, but the kid gloves are off when the traffic arrives. They think that this is a “refreshing approach” to making affiliate pages. What they don’t realize is that there is a good reason nobody who’s successful does this.
Having this quasi-humanitarian streak may seem refreshing, but it will never make you money. Customers, being what they are, will automatically make choices that aren’t in your best interest if given the chance. When you’re in business, the only place for humanitarian gestures is in the charities that you choose to give to.
Soft Selling Affiliate Marketers Let Money Go
The weaknesses that these soft affiliate marketers have are various. The most common one is that their webpages leave the viewers with too many options. When people shop, they’re looking for the cheapest options available. If the business owner gives too many choices between similar products, the customer will naturally choose the cheapest one. The business owner will lose money from this. It’s not that this principle is necessarily a bad idea, that having similar products with varying prices is non-profitable. However, varying the price too much without giving them a reason to buy the more expensive product will definitely decrease your profit.
Letting People Leave Your Affiliate Page—Bad Call
Another mistake that some new affiliates make is that they allow people to leave their affiliate page too easily. On one hand, this is fine if you’re not selling anything, but Read More→
Getting Traffic to Your Website with Article Marketing
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the oldest and most reliable methods of getting traffic to your website is by article writing. This technique should be part of every online marketing campaign. It works on so many levels that it’s indispensable as a tool for Internet marketing. In fact, I could go so far as to say that it’s the proverbial work horse of a well-rounded marketing strategy.
For one thing, it establishes you as an authority in your field. The more informative articles you write in your area of expertise, the more respect you get among your peers and the more likely your articles are going to get published. Exposure is the key element here. Of course, you really don’t have to know everything about your field, but a little research can certainly make you seem like quite the expert. The point is, ultimately, to get your company’s name out there.
Keyword Placement is Essential for Online Articles
Gone are the days when keyword placement was the more the merrier. Now, if you squeeze a keyword in anywhere you can fit it, you’ll get flagged as spam. It’s not hard; in fact, it’s easier now to create a natural sounding article with only a very few keywords strategically placed in your document. Keywords are also geared towards exposure. The better your keyword placement is, the higher you will be ranked on search engines. The higher you get ranked on search engines, the more likely it is that you will be spotted.
