Let’s talk traffic and how to get it. Your website has at most, 10 seconds to grab the attention of your visitor, so you need to have something “interest grabbing” above the fold. That’s a newspaper term for what people see when looking at the top part of a paper.
With more than 50 million websites out there, your viewers will demand topic specific information that will make them bookmark you, recommend you to their friends, and make them return over and over.
An easy subscribe method on your site is a must. If must have an easy way for people to subscribe or you are literally throwing away customers; something you can’t afford to do in these competitive times.
Building a list is one of the single most important things you can do to survive and stay alive in business. One of the easiest ways to build a list is to offer something free to all subscribers. Offer value and people will stay with you for a very long time. If you don’t have a large list of your own, then barter or buy advertising with someone who does have a large list with the same target market audience as you.
Take your list, no matter how big or how small and ask your subscribers to refer 2 people to your site. Offer them something of value for helping you. Explain to them that you are trying to build your list so you can improve your site so that it will be more beneficial to them.
We are all just ordinary people out there and many of us are happy to help others. Make sure there is a link on your site for people to forward your site to others with one click. Think, how many times has a friend sent you a site to look at. We all do it.
Don’t forget to always include your website at the bottom of every email you send. Make sure you use it in a sig file at any webboard you join. Same for newsgroups. Consider sending funny pictures out to friends and relatives with your sig file in the email. As they forward your email to others and they refer to others it will explode. Make sure you have a very effective sig file. This allows you to keep building and building.
One of the most important things you can do with your website is to make sure any link that goes away from your site is set to open in a new window. This way your visitors do not leave your site and don’t have to try and find a way back once they have finished at the other site. Your site must be as user friendly as possible.
Getting your website link on other websites. Links to your site will affect your search engine rankings. The higher your ranking the more visitors. It’s that simple. But not just any link will do. You need quality links that also relate to your business. Avoid link farms. Search engines will view your site negatively if you are in link farms or god forbid, webrings. Don’t link with just anyone. Go for quality.
A free site that will help you to get and exchange quality links is Ken Evoy’s SiteSell. Free is good and they make it very easy for you. It one reason I return to their site over and over. Have a look http://value-exchange.sitesell.com Consider exchanging banners with these sites. It a benefit for both of you.
Get listed in ezine directories and search engines. Submit by hand and not by some mass program. Many of them don’t work properly and search engines are starting to ignore them. Start with http://www.dmoz.org as they feed a lot of other search engines. Then hit the top five.
Get Google traffic. It’s not that hard. There’s no special trick. Simply go to http://www.google.com/webmasters/ and read their recommendations and then make sure you implement them into your site so that your site is properly optimized. Set aside some time every day…15 minutes to an hour and work on optimizing your site correctly.
Want to get into Yahoo the free way. It’s easy…visit here http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request It may take a month or more, but it will save you a lot of money. If you are in a hurry and time is money then used the paid listing. It by no means guarantee that you will get it and they will not refund your money if they reject you, but if you have done things right you should be ok.
If you can write articles do so. If you don’t then put appropriate articles on your site for others to read. Either will bring you traffic. Archived articles that you have written can bring you traffic for years to come. This is an effective long term strategy and will help to establish you and your credentials as well.
A popular ezine directory like http://www.ezinehub.com will give you some insight on what ezines will accept your articles and submitting to ezine article sites will give you even wider distribution. Make sure all your articles include a small footer at the end, about the author. This should be kept to 4-5 lines and has to be as effective as possible in order to bring you new visitors.

What’s the truth about The Affiliate Code. Here is my launch day review. This is an honest, no fluff The Affiliate Code Review, so if you’re looking for hype, it’s not here. If you are looking to make your final purchase decision, then you’ll want to read the rest. I just focus on facts, and you can decide…
So what’s inside The Affiliate Code?
Like Michaeal Jones previous product (The Clickbank Code which I also own and use), The Affiliate Code is complete training presented principally in videos. It is designed to enable newbies and experienced online business owners to profit easily without the huge cost of advertising.
Michael Jones states he made as much as $65,000 a month using these techniques (but of course doesn’t guarantee your results, because he can’t guarantee you will follow every step). But the most important thing to me is this is a real business system that you can and will profit from if you follow his step-by-step training.
Let me repeat, neither I nor anyone else is guaranteeing how much money you’ll make, that is completely dependent on how well you follow directions, and what niches you choose for yourself.
Once you complete your purchase, you’ll get complete, hands on access to the step-by-step training guide. This video training is in 8 modules. Let me show you exactly what you get and imagine yourself having all this business infor right in your hands:
Module 3: Tech Talk Site Setup. Please note, that the majority of affliate training courses that don’t cost $2,000 or more leave most of this stuff out. The Affiliate Code Covers everything.
Overview
Why do You Need a Website
Tools
How to Setup a Website
Module 4: How and Why to Use an Autoresponder
The Power of a List and Auto-responder
Why You Need an Autoresponder
How To Set Up An Autoresponder

Module 8: Going Big. Some basic steps to expand your sales beyond what you just learned.

Some key things to remember:
Choosing a niche first, is most important. Don’t skip this. If you don’t know your niche, you can’t make sales with anyone’s system, not even The Affiliate Code.
Choosing products is then vital after you know your niche. Michael Jones shows you exactly how to do this, and know that you are picking a real winner. He covers digital and physical products as well.
Don’t think you can skip having an autoresponder. A real, professional autoresponder is key to any online system, and your profits. The Affiliate Code shows you exactly how to set this up.
What’s the Weakess?
The Affiliate Code is not for people looking to expand the advertising business through media like pay per click, cost per action, cost per acquisition, or pay per view marketing. You’ll need another course for that. Micheal Jones The Clickbank Code is where I would go for pay per click affiliate advertising.
What’s the Bottom Line?
The Affiliate Code is a remarkably good video training system for starting a brand new online business from nothing. It is a great follow on to my course TrafficStarterPro. It truly over delivers on content. Really excellent.
It is complete, and thorough training for building your niche business as an affiliate. I honestly believe that anyone who is comitted to achieving success online, and doesn’t have a successful business model, should start right here with The Affiliate Code.
The Affiliate Code will make you and your business money, if you can just follow directions.
P.S. Yes, I am an affiliate, and you will be too, once you get this great product and see just how good it is. So of course I can profit from it, but you that’s what affiliate marketing is all about. It’s time you learned from a master
Michael Jones (he made The Clickbank Code – See my Clickbank Code review) is about to release this new product of his. He claims he is going to show you how he makes $65,000 without buying any PPC ads.
The Affiliate Code is to be about his crazy experiments on how to increase your profits by making affiliate sales without PPC. I know The Clickbank Code was great, so I am expecting another great product from Michael Jones.
So, Here is what I did:
I want to know as much as possible about this product, The Affiliate Code, and I bet you would like to know some inside scoop too…
Therefore, I made you a Blog where you can post whatever you know about The Affiliate Code. Yes, I want to know your thoughts. Would you tell me.

Setting up your website so the search engines love it is vital to your business being relevant to the internet spiders that crawl your pages. Doing all the basics that SEO experts tell you for optimizing you pages is essential for to get traffic to your website.
Once all of this is done, it is worthless unless you also promote your website in the right ways to bring you direct traffic from clicks on your links, and from search engine results. If you throw up great, SEO optimized pages, and do nothing, you will get nothing.
So here are three very simple steps you can put into action immediately to start promoting your online business, and get traffic to your website:
1. Create an Opt-in Form on your website.
The easiest way to get repeat visitors and repeat buyers is to create and opt in list. You do this by placing an opt in form on your website. It is connected through autorepsonder software that is designed to handle your email database, and broadcast messages to your customers.
This database enables you to literally tell your customers when and why to come back to your site. If your site is relevant and full of good content, they will do exactly as you tell them. This is highly targeted traffic.
2. Write Great Articles and Post them in Article Directories.
Writing articles, or article marketing, is very powerful. Using the keyword phrases of your niche site to create short, informative articles will bring you direct traffic for life. It will also create a steady new flow of back links that raises your relevance to the search engines.
Your relevance is everything to a spider. Posting 2 or more articles per week will help you build a powerful pool of inbound links to your website. Check out the top 50 directories and start posting. You have everything to gain by promoting your website this way.
3. Good Use of Press Releases.
Study the online press releases, and start creating some for your site. You’ll be amazed at how much direct web traffic this creates, and it is very highly targeted.
By posting your press leases to press release sites, you get traffic to your website directly from the release, as well as new back links. The back links from press release sites are very relevant and powerful from the eyes of a search engine spider. So learn how to promote your site this way as soon as possible.

P.S. My favorite tool for creating all this search engine optimized content to get traffic to your website is called ‘Content Mania‘ by Icansoft. Your can check it out here to save you time and optimize your content fast…
I am almost willing to bet you have been ignoring your blog, video, and social network sites RSS capability. Haven’t you?
Do you know what RSS is and how it can bring you more website traffic?
RSS means really simple syndication.
Blog websites, in particular, have and RSS feed embedded in the software. Many other sites also have RSS embedded in their pages. Some examples:
Twitter
Squidoo
Youtube
Almost every video site
Nearly all Social Networking sites
Are you getting the picture?
Throughout the web there are probably 200 or more RSS directories… and yes, real people search these directories for information on very specific niches. Many of the RSS Directories are very high traffic websites.
Directories like 2RSS.com has nearly 20,000 visitors per day. So, submit your RSS feed to the directories, and you now my be increasing the chance of your site being presented to more than 1,000,000 visitors each day.
So, are you going to get wise, and start submitting your RSS feeds to the top directories?
I hope so, because here is what happens when someone finds your feed.
They click on the link to the feed to check it out
If you have good content, they add your feed to their feed reader as a subscriber
You get a new, return customer for free. In fact, on just one of my RSS feeds, I got over 10,000 visitors in the last month.
So, if you have ten websites of equal quality, with equal competition, using the same keywords of focus, you could be bringing over 100,000 visitors to your sites each month. Are you getting the picture?
I hope so. RSS feeds are such a simple way to get tons more website traffic, you really are foolish to be ignoring them. So what are you waiting for?
