Drive Tons Of Traffic To Your Site

I've talked a little about lead generation and using your website to get prospects but it never fails every time I talk about Internet marketing I get asked about traffic generation.

My first education in traffic generation started a number of years ago when John Reese came out with the original Traffic Secrets. I plunked down my $1,000 the first day it came out. I then had the good fortune to be invited by a number of my friends who were moving their businesses online to participate in a mastermind session going through the Traffic Secrets material.

What an education that was. not only did I have the benefit of the material but I got to hear what others got out of it as well. The session were invaluable and John really put out an incredible product. The list of things you can be doing to drive traffic to your site is quite extensive. You don't have to take my word for it you can go get his newest traffic course Traffic Secrets 2.0. John covers all types of way to drive traffic but in this course he really helps you understand how to take advantage of social media. Oh, don't worry, it isn't $1,000 like his first course was.

When it's all said and done with nothing beats organic traffic for sales.

Apart from becoming a student of traffic generation something you can do right now to drive traffic to your site while seriously boosting your search engine ranking is article marketing.

Article marketing works for the simple reason that it provides exactly what the search engines are looking for. Content. The key of course, is quality original content. Search engines are getting smarter and smarter. So, the better and more relevant your article are the more likely the search engines are to pick them up. The next thing you need is for your article to be in lots of places. The more places your article is the more back links you have to your site making the search engines believe your site is a good authority on the subject the article is written on.

You used to be able to submit you article to all the article sites and the rest would take care of itself. Webmasters would pick up your article and put it on their site so they have more content and the search engines would see your article all over the web.

Now it seems as though some of the search engines have figured out whats going on and they penalize the ranking when it's just a bunch of duplicates of the original article.

With that in mind the key is to submit a unique article to each article directory. That way you won't have hundreds or thousands of copies of the exact same article out there. The problem though is who has time to write that many original articles? I know I don't.

I've tried the submission services and they're alright. I own a number of programs to do it for me and they aren't bad.m But either way you're just submitting the same article over and over.

About a year ago I found the perfect solution Unique Article Wizard. It's nothing short of amazing the way it takes an article I write and then with a small amount of work on my part it actually submits a unique version of my article to hundreds of high ranking article directories.

Go see what Dr. Noel Swanson has to say about article marketing on steroids is like. At the very least be sure to sign up for the free article marketing course.

To your success,

Mike
