Get traffic to your site

After creating my blog, I face one main problem - Getting traffic to my blog. As we all know, getting targeted traffic to our own site or blog is one of the most important thing. For now, I admit I'm just one of the 'invisible blog'. This is something I should work hard on.

Ok..this is one of my plan to get targeted traffic to my site. It's an idea I get from other good resources. They have been successful and I would like to try the idea.

  1. Register with traffic exchanges and then log in to earn "credits". You may be given average 1 - 5 credis for browsing other websites for 20-30 seconds.
  2. After reaching enough credits(it didn't take long time), you specify your own website and it is will displayed to other users on the same traffic exchanges. Every time your website is shown for 20-30 seconds your credits will be deducted for 1-5 credit as the traffic exchange charges.

What I've learn so far is...:

You can earn extra credits by referring more members or they may be purchased outright for cash. Traffic exchange websites let you specify which types of websites you wish to view by selecting categories. Similarly you get to specify the category for your own website. This how it brings in targeted traffic, in other words it brings visitors who are already interested in the category you specify. If you can make the website look good then there is a good chance that viewers will stay. If your website sells product, you may even get customer.

Some tricks to retain visitor is to offer something for free. It may be an eBook, free report, an audio or a video clip. Traffic exchanges are not voluntary. Most members are there because they have no choice and every 20-30 seconds they see a different site and sales pitch. And by offering something for free with no hint of selling is a good way to distinguish yourself.

Lead capturing is also a great way to capture visitor or customer, and you must have an autoresponder or similar mechanism to let people leave their email address so you may contact them later on. Attach your freebie to your lead capture system. Many e-mails sent by autoresponders are often caught by spam filter or placed on junk mail folders so it is recommended to choose an autoresponder company with a high email deliverability rate.

Make your website fresh and interesting because most traffic exchange surfers are suffering from advertisement overload. If it looks or reads the same it will just get ignored. Also you webpage should load quickly due to the fact that traffic exchange members will usually not spend than 10-30 seconds looking at it before the traffic exchange allows them to earn their traffic credit and proceed to the next site. For that reason, traffic exchange owners generally recommend the use of splash pages or squeeze pages.

Always prefer traffic exchanges that allow you to specify more than one website and advertisement option. Running multiple advertisements will significantly improve your chances of success. You can also compare different ads to see which works best.

Getting traffic to your website is only a part of your overall marketing strategy but it is the first and hence everything else depends on it. If you are a network marketer then you could be earning some money just referring new members to traffic exchange websites. Plus, you can advertise your get paid program in traffic exchange websites and get more refferals. If you like this idea, feel free to try and please live a comment to help me improved.
