How to Build and Maintain Traffic Momentum For Your Website

[munash]

How about youtube? I've seen some people getting 100,000+ members to join their website in about a year by using youtube videos. They have pretty girls of course!

The one I'm talking about has about 8 million views total from her videos. The videos are there forever continually sending new people to the website.

I'm planning on doing it when I'm ready and find the right girl.

I dont know if posting a link to the video's is allowed so I wont.

Hi I think Youtube is great, huge traffic.
when you have it up, you have to think of targeted keywords that you use on your title, description and tags.
Also, not to forget to mention that the quality of your video (such as the sound) is crucial!
Another point is, the more people rate you, the higher up you go. so get exposed, ask your friends to rate you as a start:P and comment on other people's youtube (think of your target market and what videos they watch! )

The most effective method I've discovered is creating systems that RUN automatically even if you're not around.

If you look at companies like McDonalds or Starbucks, they have great systems in place that is simple, turn key, and produces consistent results. Whether in marketing, or in delivering products.

One of the biggest mistakes I see out there is that entrepreneurs don't build marketing systems that run day in, and day out, without them.

For example, let's say you're doing article marketing, facebook marketing, blog marketing.

Instead of doing it ALL yourself, slowly outsource each an every traffic generating method.

If you do this, you'll have more time in your hands to learn more traffic methods... which in turn will increase you prospects, leads, and revenue.

I think the best way to maintain traffic is to continue adding content from time to time, hiring somebody to take care of it or even automating the process of building traffic with the use of tools.

Hey guys, It takes motivation, commitment, desire...etc to make it big in this awesome industry. Obvious as it may seem, many aren't willing to commit their time and energy to fulfill their goals. Be..Do..Have.. Cheers

Great post. I'm not so sure I agree that Adwords is a short term strategy though. I can be long term if it's done right. If you're converting profitably, why wouldn't you let your adwords campaigns run indefinitely? I would and do and use adwords as one of my primary long term strategies. It's the ultimate hands off, automatic marketing tool. BUT it is not easy to get to profitability if you're in a highly competitive niche. That's where you need a unique spin or a unique angle to succeed.

i have two secrets....that really work and bring me sales no matter what.

Use press releases.... I use prlog.com and make sure the guy i get to write my press releases is heavy on SEO, ie. keywords, longtail, hot trends in my niche. that helps.

The other is very good too. Blog commenting. Go to the heaviest traffic blog in your niche and be the first to comment in the new blog post. Dont go there and say "GOOD POST THANKS" go there and add more valuable info to the post so people know what you are talking about and leave your website along with it..... and THEN..... watch the traffic roll in.

I try to do these things as much as I can. WHY? they work and it brings high converting traffic to my site.

Momentum is defined as "the perceived strength behind a forward shift or positive action or movement." The problem with momentum is that it can be both elusive and fleeting. So what does any of this have to do with traffic? Everything. Let me explain. If you know what you're doing, you can not only create traffic momentum for your website, you can maintain it as well.

However, the key is knowing what you're doing. That's why constantly analyzing your raw data logs is so important. They will tell you exactly what your visitors are most interested in. For example, my log files indicate copywriting, internet marketing and article marketing are the three most popular destinations on my website. It's uncanny how that hasn't varied in nearly two years. So every day before I do anything else, I add fresh, relevant content to those three areas of my website.

So how can you gain traffic momentum by analyzing your logs? By doing the same thing I do. If you continually refresh your website with the kind of relevant information your visitors are searching for, they will return to your website again and again. More importantly, they will bring their friends with them which is an added bonus.

It's sort of like positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement means rewarding your visitors for doing something you want them to do. In this case, visiting your website. You reward their actions by giving them more relevant content, because that reward makes your visitors more likely to repeat that same behavior in the future. Animals have long been trained in this manner. But instead of information, animals are rewarded with edible treats. Positive reinforcement is a powerful method for influencing your visitors behavior and building and maintaining traffic momentum.

In order to build and maintain traffic momentum for your website, it's important to think long-term as opposed to short-term. For example, running a classified ad that expires after a few days is a short-term solution that will not create any permanent links back to your site. Pay-per-click advertising is another short-term method that will not provide you with any long-term benefits.

Now I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't use pay-per-click advertising or classified ads to promote your website. That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is the best way to build and maintain traffic momentum is to do things that will create long-lasting and permanent links back to you site.

For example, I write articles and publish them on my website. I also distribute my articles and allow them to be published on other websites as well. Why? Because writing articles is a dependable method of generating traffic to your website and creating those all important inbound links. I know that for a fact, because I do it every single day.

In addition, I post on various internet marketing forums, and I've attracted tens of thousands of visitors to my website as a direct result of my forum postings. Posting on forums also creates inbound links to your website.

Building traffic momentum essentially means hard work and patience. It means taking the time, and making a consistent effort to build and maintain your traffic. You must take consistent action every single day by writing articles, adding fresh, relevant content to your website or blog, post in forums and on blogs, and get as many quality, relevant links pointing back to your website as possible.

In closing, use the long-term traffic-building techniques I suggest in this article, and you will eventually reap the rewards of more traffic.

Dale,

What are some forums where you can post article links if there is any? Thanks
