Traffic: Don't Under Estimate It's Importance

I get very frustrated with all the products that get released promising to help you make million of Dollars but don't mention the most important aspect of any site. How to generate traffic.

When I was starting out I spent lots of money on site building tools and keyword tools and nothing on learning how to generate traffic. I now know how stupid that was. The tools might have been the best in the world but without traffic the end results were worthless.

You can have the best looking site in the world, with the perfect keywords but if you don't know how to firstly attract the search engine spiders and then real human visitors then the site is going to have no value. Try selling a website and the first thing you will be asked is "What is the Income & what's the traffic" The income is not particularly important. If I am buying a site I actually want the income to be as low as possible as it will be cheaper for me. Given a choice of a site with an income of $100 a month and 1000 visitors or a site with $10 per month and 2000 Visitors I'll always go for the visitors.

You will never stop learning how to generate traffic. Spend time working on your own system and launching sites will be much easier. Only yesterday while making a video for my membership site I discovered a new way to get my site into Google in under 18 hours.

This was something new that I hadn't used before, needless to say I was pretty impressed. I used it on another site 3 hours ago and guess what? It's now showing in Google. That's 3 hours from creating an entry to it appearing in Google. I didn't even know that updated their database that often!

It's not surprising that the method I used isn't listed in any manuals or e-books. Search engines constantly change the weighting they gives sites. it wasn't long ago that Squidoo was the most important place to have a link to your site, that's not the case anymore.

One great method of seeing what services and sites are worth putting your links on is by looking at Internet marketing niches. Internet marketers have never been slow in finding the best ways of getting indexed. Look at what sites are ranking for various search terms. If you find a web 2.0 site or a blog site test it on your sites and see how it performs. If it gives you results add it to your list of traffic generators.

By constantly monitoring whats working and what isn't you'll soon build up a list of good sites. When it comes to launch a site use these sites to generate traffic and to get your site ranking high for your chosen keywords.
