Learn How You Can Drive Massive Numbers Of New Visitors To Your Online Business.

Most online marketers believe that SEO is the most effective way you can get traffic to your website. I don't believe that it is true of today's internet.

Without a doubt, SEO is a very important part of anyone's online marketing strategy, and you want to do the basics to maximize SEO, but it is no longer the "holy grail" of internet marketing. In today's online economy, Google is only one of several viable resources where you can acquire free organic traffic.

This is exciting news if you have an internet marketing business, because you don't have to rely on your ranking with Google to succeed. You simply need to find where your prospects congregate online and then position yourself within these online locations.

Here is a tidbit of marketing advice that I received from Internet Marketing guru David Frey: "If you want to succeed online, be where the people are." Another way of saying this is, when you stand amongst a crowd; some of the group will stumble onto you. If enough people stumble over you, you can make a huge income from your online business.

It was not long ago that Google was the only game in town. To get free organic traffic, you had to be on the first two pages of Google in the search results window. Today more people search social websites than they do Google.

Don't misunderstand me, Google is a great source of free traffic if you are on the first two pages, but most online businesses can get more traffic using Web 2.0 sites like YouTube and Facebook.

Jeff Johnson, a recognized internet marketing guru, best described this online marketing strategy at a seminar I attended. He coined the online marketing term as 'Breadcrumb Marketing'. Your strategy should be one of being everywhere people in your market congregate, and leave a trail of breadcrumbs back to your website.

Marketers are discovering that they can drive huge amounts of traffic to their website using this strategy. Web 2.0 hangouts include YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Digg, Technorati, Hubpages, Squidoo, and Twitter

The bottom line is this: because of these trends, Google no longer controls your online success, you do. You only need apply an internet marketing strategy to take advantage of these new trends.
