Written by David Husnian Ah,Traffic. You hate it in your car but love it on the Web. Web traffic is so important to us Internet Marketers for our online businesses that it is one of my 3 Pillars of Guaranteed Success;without it you will fail and with the enough of the right you have a good chance of succeeding –you still need the other 2 Pillars though. It is non-optional. This is the first in a series of posts on what makes up,and how to build,the “ultimate”free traffic network. That is,a traffic network that will bring you maximum traffic and a strong Traffic Pillar. Follow along and do what’s discussed and you’ll end up with a network that will bring you an astonishing amount of traffic. There are two types of traffic,commonly called “free traffic”and “paid traffic”. Of course,everything costs something so using the term “free traffic”isn’t really correct;just think of it as traffic that you get without a direct cash outlay but there may be indirect costs in time and money. Paid traffic costs you directly and the most common forms of paid traffic are: - Pay-Per-Click (PPC),like Google AdWords and AdSense,where you have advertisement and every time someone clicks on the ad to go to your site you pay a fee
- Cost-Per-Action (CPA) is where you have advertisements and you pay for each specified action;an action can be purchase,a new subscriber to your list,etc.
- Cost-Per-View (CPV) is where you have advertisements and you pay each time someone views your ad,whether they click or take any action at all.
- Cost-Per-Mille (CPM) is where you have advertisements and you pay a set amount for every thousand views of your ad;it is a subset of CPV.
- Advertisements are text and graphic ads with links to your Web properties,like banner ads,etc.,and you pay to have to the ad shown for a specific period of time.
Free traffic doesn’t have direct costs and the most common forms of free traffic are: - Traffic from search engines,frequently called organic traffic
- Traffic from the Web 2.0/social media sites like Facebook,YouTube,Technorati and Digg
- Traffic from content sharing sites like article directories,Squidoo and Hub Pages
- Traffic from your affiliates and even traffic that comes from e-mail sent to your lists

To use forum marketing to drive traffic you start posting in various forums to enhance your presence. Then,as you become more known and trusted,you put a link into your forum “signature” to the place you’d like to drive traffic to. Last time we talked about pay-per-click advertising and how quick and effective it can be when done properly. But… that doesn’t mean you should stop there,not by a long shot. There is still money to be made using other tools in your traffic tool box. One of those tools is search engine optimization,or SEO. If there is an online marketing topic that causes more fights and arguments from people swearing by completely opposite methods and techniques I don’t know it is.

To use article marketing to drive traffic you write articles on subjects that are related to your niche and important keywords.The article should be well-researched and proofread and it is then submitted to article directories like eZine Articles. The fastest and easiest way for most people to get targeted traffic to their sites is the use of pay-per-click advertising. Pay-per-click (PPC),sometimes called cost-per-click and pay for performance,has been around since the mid-to-late 1990s and has been the way thousands of businesses have been successful. The basis of PPC is that you have ads places on various Web sites and,if someone likes your ad and clicks on the link to go to your Web site,you pay a pre-defined amount of money. That is,you pay that amount for each time someone clicks,hence pay-per-click. That is unlike many common forms of advertising when you pay just to have your advertising made available for viewing;traditional advertising in magazines,television,radio,newspaper,etc. used this “pay to show” type of advertising. When it comes to PPC advertising there is one extremely important thing you must never forget to do.
