Promoting Your Internet Business The Correct Way

March 20, 2008

by Stewart Woyo

There is a diversity of entrepreneurs on the Internet trying to promote their websites and increase the amount of visitors. They are utilizing a variety of methods from signing in to chatrooms and striking up conversations in hopes of extending invitations to visit to resorting to sending unsolicited emails to thousands of people trying to make a quick buck. In either case, most of these methods are not very successful longterm and will just as likely give a business horrible credibility rather than building a viable website presence.

Fortunately, we understand that a lot of people come online and see someone else doing the same thing and think it’s okay. Then many people will just delete their messages or emails without saying another word, which allows them to keep on doing it. However, if they were taught the correct ways to advertise themselves and their business more traffic would wind up on their websites.

Realizing that the issue is not that people advertise, but that the method of delivery is incorrect is the crux of the problem. A prime example of this would be forum advertising, long a mainstay in the entrepreneur’s arsenal. When a forum is targeted to the product or topic being promoted, it is easy to get visitors.

This means if your website talks about the abilities of getting PC satellite TV then find a forum that has people asking questions about it all the time. When you join, all that is need is an avatar and a signature that masks the name of your website. Something that is clickable that says, “PC satellite TV answers you seek” or something of that nature to entice people to click on it.

You set up a signature file and an avatar and you start participating in forum activities. In your signature line you put a “clickable link” that reads something like “PC Satellite Television Questions Answered . . .” and a call to action with a “Click Here”, “Read More” or the like. As you post, your signature is also posted.

Test your signature just like you would any advertising by creating two landing pages. Check the visitor logs on both pages to see which signature draws the most attention. You can also use it to prove to yourself the need for picking relevant forums. Pick out two different types of forums: targeted to your niche and one that is broad and general. Use two different signatures, then check your logs. You will immediately realize the need for finding a forum that is close to your topic.

Forum advertising done the right way can be both effective and provide long-term traffic to your site. It is also time consuming in a world where most people don’t have much time to spare. However, just remember, if you join a forum and only post once or twice a week, that will still build steady traffic. The impact is immediate and can last a great deal of time.

How To Drive Targeted Traffic To Your Web Site

If you’re trying to increase traffic towards your site, one thing that can really be a big help is having somebody who can fill you in on the things you’ll need to know to be successful. No matter what you’re trying to sell, inform the public about or even give free of charge, if you have no one going to your site, all of your efforts will be in vain. With this in mind, here are some tips on how you can get more traffic to your site, day in and day out.

The first thing you will want to do is go out and find an autoresponder for your website. There are several companies that offer them, but we suggest you at least spend a monthly fee to get all the benefits they have to offer. If that is not feasible then a free one will have to do but you will have limited benefits.

Obviously, you will have to read over how to use an autoresponder and what is needed for, but in the overall scheme of things it is going to build an Opt-In list for you. There is a little work that needs to be done on your part, however, it’s nothing that is that difficult or needs anything more than time.

Adding an autoresponder to a squeeze page is just what the doctor ordered to get the traffic flowing to your business. A squeeze page is basically where someone is offered some sort of information that could be beneficial to them in return for a simple email address and your first name.

Once people begin to sign up for your list, you can send out mass mailings to them via email, inviting them to visit your site or to educate them about an offer you have for them. Now the question is, how do you get visitors to your squeeze page? In short, the answer is Google Adwords.

To get visitors to your site, few things are more effective than Google Adwords. The beauty of this is that visitors to your squeeze page will be those likely to already be interested in what you have to offer. This means that your opt-in rates will be much higher.

Keep in mind the object is to get people to come to you, not you go out and find as many people as possible, which is quite time consuming. The point is, that this is just a taste of all the things that can be taught about driving traffic to your website. All it takes is a mentor to show you the ropes, then you might just become financially free.
