Now that 2006 has arrived, it is the habit of many people to
make a resolution for the New Year. While many people focus
on self-improvement, some opt to make resolutions about their
business. Usually this involves a resolution to increase
their revenue for their online business.
But did you know that it is actually quite easy to increase
your online revenue?
The trick is to drive more traffic to your Internet business(es).
As you know by now, more traffic generally means more money.
No matter what type of site you have, your success hinges
on getting as much traffic as possible. But like many online
business owners, you have probably exhausted many sources
for increasing traffic.
Recently I have found three incredible ways to drive more
traffic to your site. The good news is that all these methods
are not being done by many webmasters.
So if you want to increase traffic for 2006, be sure to
use each of the following three traffic-building mechanisms:
1- Data Feeds
Do you like the idea of creating hundreds, even thousand
of pages of legitimate content?
With a data feed, this is possible.
Many online businesses utilize data feeds as a way to help
their affiliates. If you are not familiar with this concept,
a data feed is file that contains a list of products, descriptions
and prices for individual items that are sold by a company.
With a data feed, you can create a specific content page
for each product. So if an affiliate program has thousands
of products, then you can create thousands of pages of quality
content. As you probably know, the more content usually leads
to more traffic.
Data feeds are great for getting natural search engine traffic
because they list specific products that people are looking
for. If you can find a data feed that is related to your
specific website, then you can easily generate more natural
traffic for your online business.
2- Viral eBooks
Another tool that can dramatically increase your website
traffic is a viral ebook or report. Most of the time, a viral
ebook is a PDF that people send to their contacts, which
contains your marketing message. It is called viral because
every person that receives the ebook is given a reason to
pass along your material.
Before starting a viral marketing campaign, it is important
to create a reason why people will want to pass along your
marketing message. Some of the best reasons can include simple
greed or a desire to provide entertaining information to
their friends. If you can develop a hook that will take advantage
of either of these, then it will be easy to create a successful
viral marketing campaign.
What I usually do is create a special 5 to 10 page report
on a specific topic. Then I find an affiliate program that
is related to the topic. Then I create a mechanism where
people can easily brand this ebook with their own affiliate
link.
This type of viral ebook is valuable because you can place
a mini advertisement or sponsorship on every copy. In addition,
you can let the reader know that he or she can make money
by offering this viral ebook. As a result, there is a chance
that every person that reads the book will click over to
your site.
3- Blogs
By now, you have probably heard about the power of blogs.
If you haven’t created one, then you should use the
New Year to take advantage of this traffic pulling tool.
With blogs, you are providing your audience with fresh new
content about your topic. People love to read them, because
most blogs contain new information in an entertaining and
easy-to-read format.
The best part about blogs is how much they are valued by
search engines. The majority of search engines consider any
information on a blog to be important current news, so they
pay special attention to articles listed there. As a result,
you can use blogs to drive a larger portion of traffic to
your Internet business.
For 2006 you should make a resolution to get more traffic
to your site. By implementing these three tools into your
marketing mix, you will discover that your web traffic (and
income) will dramatically increase.
