How to get server melting traffic to your website?

Do you want more traffic? Say Yay.

If you want to survive in online business, you have to intimately know the secrets of building traffic. In this article, I am giogn to discuss key strategies that have been used by master webmasters for years Including few of the latest web 2.0 stuff. So let’s get started.

  1. Link building – One technique that has never failed to bring success is link building. Almost all the techniques, tricks came and went, but link building is still here sinche the internet started. You should spend a lot of time to get any kind of incoming link to your website.
  2. Article Distribution – Believe it or not, this still works. Even if you are not getting any traffic from the articles, the link juice will build up overtime and will help you get traffic in long run.
  3. On page Search engine optimization – Basic SEO stuff still works, that’s why lots of webmaster optimize their tags and word on wordpress platform.
  4. Building a wordpress blog – One of the SEO technique is about building a regularly updated wordpress blog. It has been noticed by web masters how wordpress blogs are in favor of google since ages ago. It’s the structure of the blog that google favors. It isn’t going anywhere. You can surely create a blog right now and start getting benefits from it.
  5. Social bookmarking – In last few years, this technique fell out of favor. As they said “It’s been abused much”. But the truth is, social bookmarking still works, if you know what you are doing. Think about sharing some good stuff with others, then you’ll be able to create content that can be bookmarked.
  6. Web 2.0 properties – Web 2.0 properties like squidoo.com, hubpages.com are another way to get traffic. You should think of them as Owning a Virtual real estate. Creating these properties will help you build link juice and also get traffic from these communities.
  7. Publishing videos – Though not everyone can use this technique properly, it should not be overlooked. If you can create videos and submit, you’ll get traffic.

As you can see, Almost every single technique is based on building link one way or another. If you focus on getting links to your website, you’ll start build the kind of traffic you always desired.

Now you might be wondering, how in the world you are going to melt your servers with all of this?

The key is called “momentum”. As you start implementing all these techniques, you’ll start gaining momentum. With this momentum you can create a avalanche of traffic overtime. If you are expecting people to drop whatever they are doing and check out your website? then you should provide them motivation to do it so.

I highly recommend you to implement all the 7 techniques and start seeing the results for yourself. One of my friend increased his website traffic by 60% in a week by adding “social bookmarking” to his current lot of promotion techniques. That number 60% was about 700 unique visitors per day. So you can assume, he was getting quite a lot of traffic on his website already.

Crazy technique to help you write faster

I often get emails from my readers asking about “how can I write so much faster?”.

Often my answer is, “it’s practice”. But today, I am going to share this technique to help you write faster.

Why this technique works?

Simple, you are more focussed on writing, then ever. You just start thinking and writing super fast. All of the writers who write faster than others often use variation of what I am going to tell you in this post.

Here’s the secret ;-)

“Use Stop watch” and plan to finish an article for 10 minutes.

Notice, I said, “Finish”, not “write” in the above sentence. When you are focussed on finishing you’ll be able to finish the article. Otherwise, you’ll keep writing with focus without any direction.

Our mind wants a goal. So the moment, you plan to finish an article in 10 minutes or less, your mind have a goal to achieve. With the kind of power the mind has at it’s disposal, it’s pretty easy to do.

I can write 300 words article in 7 minutes.

350 words in 8 minutes

400 words in 9 minutes

450 words in 10 minutes.

So next time when you are sitting down to write.

1. Put a stop watch with you.

2. Think of the topic you want to write.

3. Start the stopwatch and start writing.

That’s it. It’ll take some practice to write so fast, but after doing it few times, you’ll get the hang of this technique.

You can use one of the mindmap I created for writing articles. For More Article writing tips.

Specialized websites – Why Affiliate websites need to be tweaked a little differently

Affiliate marketers needs a website that helps with their goal. They cannot just go ahead and build websites like other webmasters. In this article, you’ll learn how to create attractive, interesting, engaging and interactive websites.

The major goal of your affiliate website is to design a website built around customer needs. There are many factors to be considered to build a site like this.

Build it for Speed – It’s going to help your cause, if you don’t make your websites graphics extensive. These days with graphic optimization, CSS and other resources, you can build a beautifully designed lightweight website in no time.
If you have to add any kind of graphics (flash, streaming audio/videos), then there should be a purpose to have those in place.

Keeping the pulse on the market

If you know and understand your market, you’ll be able to create website that suits your customers needs. When you are targeting your market, your design should reflect it. For example, If you are targeting business professional, make sure to have a website, which looks professional and informative.

Focusing on Key point.

I do not recommend to make a “Comparison” type affiliate websites. If possible, you should focus on one product (or product line related to that product). It’ll help you get focused and create dedicated pre-sell pages for your website.

When you are trying to be everything to everyone, you end up with nobody to noone.

Pre-sell Webpages

Your pre-sell webpages will be a different part of your website, where you are going to promote (or pre-sell) the product/s. These pre-sell pages have lots of copywriting elements that you can use. For example. Statement of proof (video, audio or pictures) can be added. Or you can show the product in use (A video).

There are many ways, you can add elements which further helps people to trust you and your recommendations.

Content – Content is King

There can be never enough Extra content on your website. You should aim to provide extra content that’ll help you promote and pre-sell affiliate products.

In most markets, a training section related to the product can be really helpful.

Next thing about content is that you have to provide content on regular basis. Keep updating your website and promoting it.

Consistency in content, design, promotion.

You have to consistent in your design elements, content elements and promotion activities. If you are not consistent, you’ll not get regular traffic and chances of converting them into sales is going to be very low.

Conversion of your website

When you have place all these elements in your website, then you can get started on working and improving your conversion rate of pre-sell or content.

Again, all these elements are powerful individually, but taken together they can be really really powerful.

When you think in terms of elements that sells, you’ll start seeing your websites differently.
