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
We’re going to look in depth at all the aspects of how to build a traffic network that floods you with targeted traffic.
