I have gone through a lot of courses on online business and traffic generation models, and still found myself failing miserably at it repeatedly! I simply couldn’t see myself making those “golden figures” that all the internet business “gurus” seemed to be boasting about! So what did they know extra that I didn’t?

I often hoped that these “experts” would truly reveal their real secrets and methods that were bringing their success to a little guy like me. I soon started to think that just wouldn’t happen. of course, sometimes they will reveal “snippets” of information - but I’m sure the really juicy stuff is kept to themselves. In other words the big traffic generation secrets remain secrets.

Among the tips that are offered by the “gurus”, many have flaws and problems.

For instance, using pay-per-click advertising for site traffic has it’s drawbacks. Fundamentally, it cost money to participate. And there is no guarantee that your campain will attract any sales to cover this cost. Sadly, there is also no way that you can stop your competition click your ad to simply use up your budget.

Another often method that the “gurus” recommend is search engine optimisation. Although it is possible to carry this our by yourself for free, the time, effort and knowledge required to optimise a site fully is usually prohibitive.

An alternative to search engine optimisation is article writing and submission. Again, although you can do this yourself for free, the effort and creative ability required makes it hard. There is a danger that to get your articles written, you will end up spending money on a ghost writer - if you have the budget!


There surely must be a superior way of generating that traffic for your site. Thankfully, there is!

This is the best traffic generation method; especially if you are new in this field. Tap on the customer lists of all those “successful” internet entrepreneurs! Rather than starting on your own “list building” from scratch, form joint venture partnerships with other website owners who already have considerable sized lists! Offer them a good percentage of the profits and most of them will agree to your deal.

At first, this may prove quite difficult, but if you are determined, and make a point of contacting as many possible partners as possible, you will have some success. Remember, your contacts only need to send out an email to suggest your service or product, and this should cost them nothing to do.

Cultivating joint venture partners was the one method that was never really offered by the “gurus” very often when they were selling their home study courses. However, I have found it to be the best free method for generating traffic to your site. It was the one big secret I needed to know and use. Now you can do the same too!
