Website Traffic Pitfalls & How Successful Internet Marketers Do It
Website traffic is good…but income is better! That is your real objective right? You are looking to generate sales. Thousands of visitors to your website without a single sale is hardly worth the time and effort it takes to generate them so let’s take a look at what options are available to you and weigh the pros and cons of each. Buy Traffic: There are many companies online that will deliver traffic to your site for what appears to be a minimal cost. Simple and easy! Well…not exactly. Although they will claim to deliver “targeted” traffic you will most likely receive “garbage” hits… Do you want your site to be an annoying pop-up when someone is not looking for your information? You do want your visitors to understand the content right? Many of these sites will get you hits…unfortunately at least some of those visitors won’t be able to read the language! All traffic is not equal…Your job as a marketer is to connect with your target market and deliver your message to them. It is not to blanket the internet world with your pitch! Traffic Exchanges: Free traffic to your website! All you have to do is surf the internet. Cool idea but wait. Who will be viewing your webpage? You can get immediate ticks on your website traffic counter but you won’t get retail sales this way. Traffic exchanges are one of the poorest converting traffic of them all! Think about it. You’re in a rotation with other struggling online entrepreneurs trying to get traffic to their sites and make money too. No one is interested in the content…everyone is interested in generating traffic for their own business…that’s it! Are you just looking for website traffic or do you want your target market to view your message? Opt-In Subscriber Networks: “We will send your solo-mail to a million opt-in subscribers looking to receive your advertisements!” What they don’t tell you is…once you sign up you are required to opt-in to the list in order to send your advertisement to it. Therefore the entire list is comprised of other internet marketers. Guess what…they aren’t your target market. In fact most are directing your e-mails directly to a junk e-mail account they don’t even check. Social Networking: Done right this can get the ball rolling in the right direction! However it takes a little strategy. Remember…don’t do what everyone else is doing! Clearly define your objectives ahead of time and always focus on reaching your target market! A common mistake is focusing on quantity versus quality. You want to find individuals who are in need of your services or even better position yourself so they find you. For example, if you are in the finance business having ten thousand other financing professionals as “followers” on Twitter really doesn’t make sense does it? But this is what is happening…instead of connecting with prospects and potential clients online entrepreneurs are connecting with each other. If your goal is to network with other online marketers then great but most are just pitching one another…no wonder most are not seeing the results they are looking for. The key to success...is not in having the best opportunity but in having the best plan to capitalize on that opportunity. Most internet businesses fail...not because they don't put in the hard work and effort...but because they aren't marketing experts. My advice...try to connect with people 1 on 1. Position yourself as an authority and they will come to you asking what YOU are doing. Success attracts success!
