One thing that constantly bugs me about many of the products that get released is that they don’t tell you how to bring traffic to your site. You get a large e-book that tells you how to build an amazing site but not one chapter on traffic generation

When I was starting out I spent lots of money on site building tools and keyword tools and nothing on learning how to generate traffic. I now know how stupid that was. The tools might have been the best in the world but without traffic the end results were worthless.

The best looking site in the world means nothing without human visitors. If you can’t attract the website spiders and then organic traffic you will be left with a site of no value to you. Have a look at the forums where people buy and sell website and each thread will have 2 questions. How much does the site earn and how much traffic does it have. On a personal not i prefer traffic over income as I know I can turn traffic into income easier than generate new traffic.

Take time to develop your own traffic delivery system and you’ll have one less thing to worry about. Take time to find out what works and what doesn’t. I created a video for my members yesterday about how to get a site indexed and start generating traffic and I found something that got a new site into Google in less than 18 hours.

This was something new that I hadn’t used before, needless to say I was pretty impressed. I used it on another site 3 hours ago and guess what? It’s now showing in Google. That’s 3 hours from creating an entry to it appearing in Google. I didn’t even know that updated their database that often!


The method I used has not been mentioned in any of the traffic generation products I’ve read. However this is not too surprising as traffic generation is constantly evolving. Google change their algorithms and sites fall out of favor or become favored. It was only a few months ago that Squidoo was the best place to start your link building. Now it’s fallen out of favor.

One great method of seeing what services and sites are worth putting your links on is by looking at Internet marketing niches. Internet marketers have never been slow in finding the best ways of getting indexed. Look at what sites are ranking for various search terms. If you find a web 2.0 site or a blog site test it on your sites and see how it performs. If it gives you results add it to your list of traffic generators.

By constantly monitoring whats working and what isn’t you’ll soon build up a list of good sites. When it comes to launch a site use these sites to generate traffic and to get your site ranking high for your chosen keywords.
