Joseph’s Internet Marketing Tips

You need to drive traffic through multiple sources in order to succeed in your business. I believe wholeheartedly in media placement. But, you have to know where to place it in the first place. So this article is intended to let the readers know the top 10 traffic sources available.

Remember that each form of media you place builds upon itself and is like planting little seeds to create the whole. Or in other words drive traffic to your pages and ultimately build your business and make money!

1.) Search Engines- It goes without saying that the search engines or, in this case, organic traffic plays a significant role in driving traffic to your site.

2.) Writing Articles- Of course how do you get that organic traffic? One of the best ways is by writing articles and submitting them to article directories.

3.) Press Releases- Create a press release from out of your article and submit it to press release sites. There are free services and paid services. I recommend to start small and invest in a paid press release after you start seeing some response to the free ones you´ve placed.

4.) Joint Venture Traffic- Join forces with other marketers and cross promote each others product or services.

5.) Pay-Per-Click- Start ad campaigns with the major search engines. Test your and keep a close eye on your accounts so that you stay within your budget.

6.) Cost-Per-Action- Basically another form of Pay-Per-Click. Do your search on the internet and find the different networks available for this form of driving traffic.

7.) Cost-Per-View- Same as above except that you search for CPV networks.

8.) Video Traffic- You have already created an article and press release, turn these things into a video. Ten minutes or less is all it takes. Upload it on as many video sites you can.

9.) Podcast Traffic- Same as above except that you submit it to podcast directories

10.) Web 2.0 Traffic- Unless you have been living under a rock I am sure you have all heard about web 2.0. Link your video, or podcast. Socialize and invite people to read your articles and write reviews or comments.

That completes the top 10 ways to drive massive traffic to your business.

But as a bonus for reading this article I will give you two more.

1.) Social Bookmarking Traffic- What good does it do you to do all this work and have your article or post takes what seems like an eternity for the search engines to notice. By doing this you will create links and the more relevant links you have pointed to your site the higher your page ranking will be.

2.) Ezine Solo Ad Traffic- Invest a little money and get a solo ad. By doing this you can have the ezine ad companies direct your ads to as many potential prospects as you are willing to pay for. They have many different packages available. Find the one that fits your budget.

So now you have twelve powerful ways of driving traffic to your business. Get started. Do as many as you possibly can. Do them all at your own pace. Soon you will start seeing results and you´ll be glad you did!

What are the top secret SEO tips?  The truth is there is no secret.  There are only true facts on how you should optimize your blogs, articles, ads or whatever.

Most important is the content.  Content is your best vehicle for driving traffic to your pages.  Quality content will keep traffic flooding to your door.

Research your material.  Find an authoritative voice to learn from and always provide unique content to your readers.

Makes sure you use links.  Back links add value to your site for the search engines.  But don´t just stuff any links into you content.  Be sure that they are related to your subject and are helpful to your audience.  You disperse them in your content or provide a helpful resource box with all your links in it.

While we are on the subject of links, use text links on your website.  When you use image links then don´t give them a name in your alt tags instead give them a number like”jpg 1″.  This way when the image is not relevant the search engines will not count them as ”relevant” to your website. 

Remember that rating number one is not neccessarily the best place to be in the search engines.  When you are placed at the top you typically get a lot of “tire kickers”.  Aim to be somewhere around 3rd or 4th.  the people who tend to look further down the page tend to be more targeted traffic.

One way to rise in the rankings however is to provide fresh content on a regular basis.  Search engines love new content and you will tend to rank higher with quality fresh content supplied on a regular basis.

Go for keyword phrases and not just single keywords.  Again more targeted traffic tends to search for keyword phrases than just one word.

These are just a few of my top secret SEO tips.  If you would like to learn more then visit my blog at:

So how do you get started using Yahoo Answers to drive traffic?

First of all, if you don´t already have one, sign up for an account with Yahoo Answers.

Next search the questions for open ones related to your niche.  The questions are generally open for four days.

Then go to the advanced search page for Yahoo Answers and put your keyword in the keyword box.

In “search for keyword match in” choose “questions”.

Under “category”, select “all”.

In “question status” choose “open questions – best answer has not been chosen”.

Then under “date submitted” choose “any-time”.

In the “% thumbs up rating” select “all evaluations”.

When you get your results, pick out about 10 questions you would like to answer but put your link in only two of them.  By doing this, you will prevent Yahoo from thinking that you are a spammer.  So only add your link to the questions that you gave the best answer to.

Also, answer questions in a few different categories.  This way it comes across as more natural as apposed to answering questions in only one category.

You will get the most traffic from questions that you give the best answer to because, your response will appear at the top of the page.  Since people have a tendency to only read the first reply, you will be in the best position to receive traffic.

That´s it for Getting Started Using Yahoo Answers To Drive Traffic.  I hope you find it helpful.

My next post will be explaining what not to do when using Yahoo Answers.  Be sure not to miss it!

Hi Everybody,

I ran into an interesting article on how to generate traffic using Yahoo Answers.

Let´s face it, without traffic you could be selling water in the desert and you would not make a sale.

Most people concentrate on using Google Adwords pay-per-click to get traffic.  Naturally, Google is the largest search engine out there and you can get fast response by paying for ads.

However, if you are ignoring Yahoo, you could be leaving money on the table.

Lots of it!

You see, Yahoo Answers gets around a billion visitors looking for answers to their questions. 

Highly motivated targeted visitors.

How much traffic you can get depends on your niche and how many  questions you answers you provide.  But you can expect 20 to 30 visitors/month for every answer you give.

So let´s say you are trying to get around 100 visitors/day to your site.  You would need to link into about 100 answers.

Sound like a lot?

Not at all!

That´s only 10 to 20 questions per day.  In a month´s time you will have about 100 answers.

Imagine that, in 30 days you could have an extra 3000 targeted visitors to your site!

Popular questions tend to generate the most traffic.  Less popular questions generate less traffic.  It´s that simple.

The main thing is, you will see an increase in your traffic!

So tomorrow I will be giving you more details to get started generating traffic using Yahoo Traffic.  So stay tuned!
