Traffic Tips
There are indeed a VAST array of media systems for promoting and/or selling your products/services and you will UNDOUBTEDLY be hammered with ALL the latest “Secrets” (how I hate that word) on how to do this or to do that.
Underlying ALL of this hype are a few basic systems/methods which are utilised by ALL of the “RICH” guys on the Internet. NONE of which are really ANY form of secret what so ever.
They are ALL systems that work – with one basic ‘proviso’ – and that is that YOU “make them work” by:
a. By learning HOW to use them – and
b. Actually using them !!
NO SECRETS – JUST FACTS !!!
Here they are – and in NO particular order of preference – just the sequence I personally use them – and MAKE THEM WORK for me!
4. Forums
5. Craigs List
7. Ezines
9. Classified Ads – Free & Paid
10. The Bonus – A “freebie” on Getting Visitors
Traffic Exchanges are undoubtedly an important bit of armoury one should have in ones portfolio. I often here people say they are a waste of time – the FACT is the “moaners” just do not utilise them properly. To find out HOW you should do that you need to read and digest the ebook you will find at the bottom of this section.
A word of warning here though You do NOT need to go joining in all the links recommended in the book, and you certainly DO NOT need to sign up for all the offers that will be thrown at you when you sign in to your Traffic Exchange account after you have become a member. Same with the book – read it, follow the advice and instructions but don’t go signing up for everything they offer !! (the beginners biggest mistake – signing up for everything they see – just don’t do it !!)
BELOW you will find links to the TOP Traffic Exchanges that I use – IF you follow in MY footsteps you will simply start your experience with these 3/4 – if you do you will have access to OVER half a million members with more joining every day of the week.
Here they are and they are in NO particular order:
|
This eBook will cost you the princely sum of $9.97 (USD) – BUT it is over 60 pages covering more than 60 topics in over 20 major areas. In a nutshell, the most comprehensive eBook I have come across which explains ALL the facets of what Traffic Exchanges are. Troy is of course the owner of a Viral Marketing system and he rightly recommends that in this ebook. Just remember my usual comments – take one step at a time. Join my recommendations above GET USED TO THEM – THEN join Viral Marketing. Unless of course you think you are ready to plunge straight in there – bearing in mind that you CAN earn some money by joining and recommending others to join, as well as some commission for promoting this eBook. |
Below are the remainder of the Traffic Exchanges that
I personally use. There are hundreds of them and NEW ones cropping up “all the time”. These additional ones below are reasonably well established and have a reasonable membership base. SO – if you want to follow in my footsteps I am:
- A ‘Paid’ member of the ones where I have added the banner above – and of course benefit from NOT having to surf those sites.
- A ‘Free’ Member of the following sites, which I surf regularly every morning for about 15-20.
Here they are:
1. Start Exchange
2. Hit Safari
3. Top Tier Traffic
4. Traffic Splash
5. Traffic Witch
6. Traffic G
REMEMBER They WILL work if YOU make them work !!
|
FINALLY – once you have got your head around Traffic Exchanges then you should consider taking a look at the “Rotators” available via TE Toolbox . This tool simplifies the process of ‘rotating’ a number of options such as a series of Web Sites or Banners you wish to promote. Create your list, publish them and just let them roll !! (It comes with a FREE instruction manual on ‘how’ to do it too.) |

Viral Marketing
I utilise the services of THREE primary Viral Marketing Systems – they are in NO particular order – here is the first:
|
|
This one is probably the one that I follow and use the most. Again, like anything you do online, you MUST takje your time to download the excellent eBook which explains how to get the best out of this system. The owner is also extremely helpful and very approachable. THIS works – and if you are sensible and use it and especially become a paid member you will find that by following the advice you will soon have a downline of your own who are paying your subscription for you. This is an effective list builder too and one of the rare ones where you can use your OWN auto responder to build your OWN list too. |
And the second is:
|
|
This is quite a comprehensive package and you will need to take time to click your way through the various buttons and options and to learn HOW to use it. There is plenty of help and support here though and I would encourage you to become a member of their Forum – a place to get answers from if you get stuck. Usual warning applies here too – ONLY use the bits YOU need to use to further YOUR business. Pay particular attention to the link where YOU can promote your OWN business links too !! Not to be missed. The more FREE advertising you can get the better. |
insert no 3

Forums can be a little goldmine – especially for List Building Purposes. You will find some recommendations in this eBook about WHERE you should be a member and WHY. There is one particular forum where you will do to place both your eBook for List Building purposes and to make sales. THIS is the only eBook I personally bother with regarding using forums. Master the advice given here and you will NOT need to know anymore about utilising forums. As ever, my advice is if YOU don’t make it work it WON’T work for YOU! Good luck….. content here |
 |
For the unitiated Craigs List is probably the largest FREE advertising medium on the Worldwide Web. lt is probably the most viewed and is seen by millions of viewers around the world. It gives the individual the opportunity to be selective on where they advertise their business – and if you are just a little bit smart you can utilise the advice in this eBook to make YOUR adverts stand out a bit better than the opposition. Definitely recommended. |
ARTICLE WRITING is a “MUST DO” activity!
An EXCELLENT starting point is HERE
 Click the image for more details |
Article Writing is one of the most underused yet one of the best ways to attract your Customers. GOOD Article Writing is one of the best ways to retain Customer loyalty too! Article Writing is also a great way of promoting your website/s and your product/s which can be achieved for free. As an additional bonus, this “free” method can boost your sites and sales, doubling and even tripling your income. |
Articles Writing is also one of the easiest ways to promote your website in order to generate traffic and increase your earnings – and NO – you do not have to be a ‘reporter’ or a ‘copoywriter’ to do so either!
How does it work?
YOU write articles relating to your website and submit them to “free and paid content” submission sites. Easy to do, takes very little time and can increase your website traffic, sales and of course, your income.
By joining and utilising the above resource you submit ONE article which is then distributed for you! To great outlets too I might add.
How can article writing boost traffic and income?
The articles on the content sites contains a link to your own website. Readers, after reading your articles, may choose to click on the link and pay you an unexpected visit. Having them on the content sites is also making these articles available to other webmasters who may wish to publish that article on their site (a good reason to write good articles isn’t it?).
If they do, your article will include a link back to your site. And anyone who reads the article on that site can still click on the link to visit your site.
As the list of your published articles grow larger, and more and more of them are appearing on different websites, the total number of links to your site increases also. Major search engines are placing a lot of significance on incoming links to websites so they can determine the importance of a certain site.
The more incoming links the website has, the more importance search engines attaches to it. This will then increase your website’s placement in the search results.
If your site is promoting a product or service, the links that your articles have achieved will mean more potential customers for you. Even if visitors only browse through, you never know if they might be in need of what you are offering in the future.
There are also those who already have specific things they need on their mind but cannot decide yet between the many choices online. Chances are, they may stumble upon one of your articles, get interested by the content you wrote, go to your site and became enticed by your promotions. See how easy this can be – but you MUST add articles on a regular basis – every few days is a good plan.
Search engines do not just index the websites, they also index published articles. They also index any article that is written about your own website’s topic. So once someone searches for that same topic, the list of results will have your site or may even show the articles that you have written.
And to think, no effort on your part was used to bring them to your site. Just your published articles and the search engines.
It is no wonder why many webmasters are suddenly reviving their old writing styles and taking time to write more articles about their site than doing other means of promotion.
All of your articles can be added to your Blog/s too, further enhancing your Search Engine Optimisation at the same time!
Getting your site known is easier if you have articles increasing your links and traffic and making it accessible for visitors searching the internet. Since many people are now taking their buying needs online, having your site on the search engines through your articles is one way of letting them know about you and your business.
The good thing with articles is that you can write about things that people would want to know about. This can be achieved in the lightest mood but professional manner, with a little not-so-obvious sales pitch added.
If you think about it, only a few minutes of your time is spent on writing one article and submitting to content sites. In the shortest span of time also, they are distributed to more sites than you can think of. Even before you know what is happening, you are getting more visitors than you previously had.
If you think you are wasting your time writing these articles, fast forward to the time when you will see them printed and wide-spread on the internet. Not to mention the sudden attention and interest that people are giving your website and your products or services.
Try writing some articles and you will be assured of the sudden surge in site traffic, link popularity and interest. Before you know it, you will be doubling and even tripling your earnings.
Here are just a few sites you can submit articles too direct (correct at the time of going to print)
Post articles to the following article directories for FREE traffic.

In the first instance IF you are not a Blogger – you should be. IF you ARE a blogger then the next question would be do you know HOW to use your Blog effectively for marketing purposes. Well, if you don’t then here is a simple guide to get you on the road to making money from your Blog. Go take a look – it will NOT cost you an arm and a leg to obtain it either! |
Below is a list of various advertising places, some free, some paid and you will have to register with the ones you want to use.
BE WARNED – don’t waste your time signing up for all the ‘offers’ you will see. Just use them to promote your wares with and NOTHING ELSE.
NOTE: You will probably have to copy and paste the URL into the browser, they do not always work when you try to use them as a clickable link.
You MAY find that one or two of them have ceased to exist. Not my problem. They were all working when I used them last.
REMEMBER – it is NOT an easy task to utilize all of these. Just do one or two each time you opt to work at using them. However, DO be consistent and USE them.
FIRST – “Click Here” and you will be taken to a web page with 100’s of promo sites for you to get to work on. THEN – when you have cracked that lot, below is another list for you !!
