Three Tips To Get Traffic To Your Website
One of the biggest problems internet marketers face is getting traffic. So many people believe the myth 'if you build it they will come'. Believe me, that's far from the truth! Here are three tips to help bring traffic to your site:
1. Article marketing. This is one of the easiest ways to generate traffic to your site. Not only will you genearte traffic writing articles is a great way to distinguish yourself as an expert in your niche. If you aren't a great writer, don't have the time to write or just simply don't want to do it you can hire a ghost writer to do it for you. And of course there is always PLR (private label rights) as well.
2. Forum Marketing. Also known as message boards. This is another useful tactic in generating traffic to your site. Make sure you are joining forums that are relevant to your niche and where your target market is likely to be hanging out. Don't join a forum and immediately post a 'sales pitch'. In fact before you even post a link sharing about your services or product you should become 'known' around the forum. It's all about building relationships first!
3. Video Traffic. The idea of creating a video can be a bit scary but you need to step out of your comfort zone and create a compelling video that will be beneficial to your target audience. Make something that is going to grab people's attention and keep them interested and end with a call to action. Don't forget to put a link to your website in the video where people can see it clearly.
Those are only three tips to get you started on bringing more traffic to your site. If you would like 98 more tips and a deeper explanation of the tips listed above pick up your copy of Moms Talk Biz Guide to Traffic Tips - 101 Smart and Easy Web Traffic Strategies.
And What is Free Traffic vs Targeted Traffic? you ask?
How to Get Free Traffic to your Website or Blog
One of the most important aspects of owning a website or blog is getting people to come visit your site. This is because more traffic equals more sales. However, the kind of traffic you get is also very important. You don’t want traffic just for the sake of traffic; you want traffic that will result in more sales, right? Below are lots of great tools and recommendations you can, and should use to get the kind of traffic you want to your site.
Interact with your ‘competitors’
The Internet is filled with lots of other people who are in the exact same business as you, but that doesn’t mean they are your ‘enemy’. As a matter of fact, you need to view them as friends and colleagues and start interacting with them as such.
This interaction can be done by commenting on their blogs, using Twitter to ‘tweet’ about a great sale they’re having, joining a forum they may have, or joining in on a discussion they’ve started in a forum that you both belong to. This kind of interaction isn’t going to hurt your business at all, instead when others see your interaction, they’ll most likely come visit your site or blog as well.
Obviously you never want to spam your colleague’s site by posting lots of links to your site or talking about how much better your site is over theirs, and so on. That would just be rude and people will tend to be turned off by it and most likely won’t come visit your site, which defeats the purpose.
Interact with potential customers,
the other way to get free traffic to your site is to interact with those people who are most likely to purchase your products or need your services. You can also find them on forums, Twitter and other social networking sites like Facebook. Let them know you’re out there by engaging naturally in discussions and by commenting on their blogs.
Getting free traffic is important, but getting quality traffic is more important and will result in more sales.

When You Want To Learn Wordpress
Wordpress is the website building tool of choice for many business owners these days. It’s a great option. No software needed on your computer, great functionality and flexibility – and you can update your site content from any computer, netbook or smart phone. It’s no wonder that it’s become so popular. You’ve probably heard that Wordpress is incredibly user friendly – and it is! Still, most first time users find it overwhelming at first. If you ever tried to tackle Wordpress on your own and felt like giving up, you’re not at all alone.
There’s a lot to take in at first. I was lucky though. I had several patient friends available to help me over the learning curve. Still, I wouldn’t say that I felt truly comfortable for months after. The more I got to know it, the more I realized that Wordpress is both simple and complex all at the same time. If you only want to use Wordpress to publish content, it’s pretty darned simple.
The visual editor operates like any basic word processor. You enter content, press publish and you’re finished. Think of Wordpress as being three things at once.
1. It’s a Content Management Script that runs on your web server, letting you enter content as easily as writing an email.
2. Your content is stored in a Database on your web server.
3. Finally, it wears a Theme, a set of template files, that determines how the content is displayed online. Entering content is easy. The database takes care of itself. Customization, want to alter your design and manipulate the database for special needs, you have to tap a whole other area of knowledge and that’s where many get stuck. There’s good news and bad news for those who want to learn more about managing their Wordpress site. The good news is that there’s a huge resource of documents and a large community of developers and users who are willing to answer your questions. The bad news is that there’s a huge resource of documents and a large community of developers and users… ;) The trouble for newcomers is usually that they don’t know how to ask the right questions to produce the answers they really need. The documents and forums seem to be written in a foreign language and newbie questions are often answered with links to more foreign explanations that just add to their feelings of overwhelm. My advice?
Don’t give up. Keep asking questions. To get the best answers, provide as much information about your problem as you can. If you’re persistent, you’ll find that things come easier over time. Kelly McCausey and Lynette Chandler invite you to WP Live Support, your all access pass to exclusive Wordpress learning. We demonstrate answers to your questions during our live web conference sessions. If you’re goal is to do it yourself WP Live Support is your pathway to learning how.
