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!

The answer may surprise you. It´s not how to write articles or blogs. It´s not the ins and outs of Google Adwords or SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It´s not even knowing how to write stellar ads that will have customers lining up to give you their money.

These are all wonderful skills to have and as an internet marketer you must learn to master them.

But the number one skill you should possess is…

MEDIA PLACEMENT!

That´s right. If you don´t know how to get your product, website, or information before hungry qualified prospects, all the skills in the world are not going to make you money.

Media Placement is what all successful businesses in the world do everyday. McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Mercedes, UPS, and just about every successful company you could imagine are skilled in getting their media placed before their prospects.

You say, “Well that´s fine for them but, I´m no major company with a huge advertising budget. How can that help me?”.

Listen, no matter what you are selling, if nobody knows that you have anything to offer, how are they ever going to buy anything from you?

Imagine yourself as gas station in the middle of nowhere. I mean there are no roads or highways for miles. How many customers do you think you will get?

That´s bad media placement.

Now, take that same gas station and position it on a major highway where the next gas station is maybe 50 to 100 miles further down the road. How many customers do you think you will attract then? The answer to that is easy.

That my friends, is good media placement!

Media Placement on the internet is really no different. You see you need to put yourself out there so that you get noticed. Cover all your bases so to speak. Educate yourself on the innumerable ways to promote your product, website, or service. Find out how to do it intelligently. For example, let´s say you are selling jet skis and you decided that you wanted to advertise in magazines. You would not advertise in “Winter Wonderland” magazine. It just doesn´t make sense. Even if “Winter Wonderland” had a list of 500,000 paid subscribers you´d be a lot better off advertising in “Summer Travel” magazine with only 100,000 paid subscribers. Bottom line is that these are more targeted prospects and not only that, but you could sell to this list over and over again with other summer related products.

There are nummerous ways to place your media. Some of them can be costly. But many are absolutely free or only pennies on the dollar.

This is all about developing a strategy and sticking to it. You must start somewhere though. Start a blog, write articles, submit classified ads and press releases. The list goes on and on. You just have to get the momentum going in your favor. Once you´ve established a system and dedicate yourself to implementing it, there is no way you are going to fail.

Did you know that 95% of all new businesses fail? It´s true. And I would be willing to bet,that these businesses were lacking in the number one skill to making money online. Media Placement.

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 now you know what to do when using Yahoo Answers, what are some of the things you should not do?

First and foremost make sure that your weblink is related DIRECTLY to the question.
I mean really, don´t you get frustrated when you click on a link and the site has nothing to do with what you are searching for?

A good example of this is quoted by Tracey Edwards of http://www.answerstraffic.com: If someone ask you a question about exercise that does not mean that you can send them to your diet pills website.

They are both a part of the losing weight niche but they are not related.
You don´t want to be labeled a spammer.

Next make sure that your answers are unique to the questions ask. Don´t give out a carbon copy answer to every question related to your subject.

Give detailed answers. Naturally you want to drive people to your link, but if you just add a link saying for more info “click here”, people will see it as a sales ploy. In fact the more you make prospects click around, the more likely they are to get frustrated and look somewhere else.
