Free Laser Guided, Targeted Traffic Part 2

In continuation of Free Laser Guided, Targeted Traffic this article will build on the tactics suggested in its prequel. One free way to reach out to your prospects is by blasting emails. Email addresses can be acquired via many methods including but not limited to capture pages, pre-existing mailing lists or acquisitions. Emailing is free and can even be automated to leverage time. When using this method it’s extremely important to keep in mind the difference between spamming and informing so be sure to keep your practices ethical, tasteful and reasonably timed.

Next, submitting your site to search engines is a great way to expose your content. Search engines are where everyone turns to when they’re seeking specific content and it’s in your best interest to submit your site to their directories in order for your content to be displayed in search results. This can be a tedious, ongoing process but could prove fruitful in the long run. Also, results can be delayed when using this practice as search engines typically take about 6 weeks to index your content. Doing this on your own is at no cost typically and there are even companies that will do this on your behalf at a cost so there are options to consider.

Creating a sitemap for your site is also beneficial, as a sitemap will help in summarizing your content so that it requires less of an effort for an engine to crawl and index your entire site. A sitemap can almost be compared to an index or table of contents in a book as it serves a similar purpose in presenting a summed up version of the information contained within the site. You can build one manually or you can have one created for you free of charge by a site such as www.xml-sitemaps.com. Once created, just upload it and you’re set.

Meta Tags or Meta Keywords are also very important for your SEO and traffic efforts. These are words built into the header of the source code that basically sum up or provide information indicating the content found on that specific site. Choose your Meta Tags carefully and accurately as unrelated tags are considered spamming and can even have a negative impact on your progress. Also, repeat or excess Meta Tags can be detrimental so pay close attention to how clean you organize collection of keywords and phrases. Related words found in the visible body of your site are also important and should closely resemble what appears in your header. Using keywords in the body of the site also requires precision as inaccurate words are considered spamming. Additionally, search engines and crawlers can detect contrast between text and background color so setting your text color to match your background color and flooding your site with “invisible” keywords is not a beneficial practice. Keep in mind the body must be consistent with the header.

Business cards are also a great way to bring more visitors to your site. Setting them out on a table or handing them out costs nothing and there are even sites like www.vistaprint.com that will print your business cards for free. A business card should be a professional representation of your services and should provide as many methods of contact as possible to ensure an open line of communication between you and your prospects.

Flyers are also a great way to expose and market your services. Again, setting them out or posting them costs nothing and there are sites such as www.clubflyers.com that will print them free of charge for you. Many debate whether or not it’s beneficial to market internet products in physical forms such as cards or flyers as opposed to electronically such as ads or blogs but you’ll still receive exposure at no or minimal cost so, why not?

The next method of driving traffic is somewhat free. If you’re already getting a consistent flow of traffic you can actually sell ad or banner space to potential advertisers. These advertisers should be in your niche industry but should not be a direct competitor. For example, if you’re selling bicycles you may want to consider selling ad space to a bicycle repair or cycling apparel site but you don’t want another bike dealer on your page. You can then take what you’ve earned from your ad slots and put it towards Pay per clicks, or PPC’s. As long as your PPC campaign doesn’t result in expenses greater than your ad slot income you’re in good shape.

In summary this article should be a great tool when used towards your traffic and SEO efforts. Online income is great as can be the work involved and there’s no scientific formula to attracting business, just what’s been working thus far and sometimes with a little twist.

Until next time,
