"Maximizing The True Value Of Your Traffic"
Ewen Chia
You may be shocked to hear this.
You DONT need a lot of traffic to make your website a screaming success.
Many new marketers are led to believe the key to profits lies in throwing as much traffic as possible at their sites. Hence increasing the popularity of traffic blasting programs which are inevitably money-drainers for the honest marketers.
If only it was that easy.
The truth of the matter is, therere only two basic ways to increase the profitability of any website, and in turn maximize the true value of your traffic.
One is by targeting the traffic you get, the other is by generating a call to action from that traffic.
Lets look at each one in more detail:
1 Targeting your traffic
What you need is the right kind of traffic. To put it another way - what you need to make more money right now is highly targeted traffic.
As mentioned, the true value of traffic is in how you can maximize it to achieve certain positive outcomes you desire - be it higher sales or more quality subscribers.
Such outcomes are only possible if the traffic is highly targeted to what you are offering.
The question is in how you can receive such targeted visitors quickly and easily.
You can do this by using certain proven traffic generation strategies such as writing articles, joint ventures with targeted marketers/e-zine publishers, search engines, your own affiliate programs, etc.
Side note:
"Autopilot Traffic Streams" reveals hidden ways to generate your own automatic streams of targeted traffic quickly and easily. You can download this $37 ebook here free, simply right click and choose save target as.. from this link: http://TurnkeyMoney.com/AutopilotTrafficStreams.pdf
These highly effective methods attract pre-qualified visitors who are mostly pre-sold before arriving at your site.
2 Generating positive responses
The hands down easiest way to maximize any traffic is by increasing your websites conversion rates.
You can achieve double, triple or even 10X more profits by converting more visitors into customers.
Let us look at a very basic example:
If your current website converts at 1% meaning 1 sale for every 100 visitors, you would make 5 sales for every 500 targeted visitors you sent there.
Lets say you managed to increase this conversion rate to 3%, the same 500 visitors will give you 15 sales, an addition of 10 sales from just a 2% increase in the conversion rate!
While this sounds every ideal, how do you heighten your sites conversion rates and maximize each visitors value
There are many ways to achieve this, some of which include:
Faster loading time; Easier navigation; Easier reading; Flexible payment options; Packaging of unique offers; Increasing product value and of course creation of more effective copy, etc.
In summary, generating highly targeted traffic and then motivating positive calls to action from it is the way to achieving more profits quicker and easier.
Its a powerful and synergic strategy you cant afford to ignore as an internet marketer - so start maximizing the true value of your traffic today!

Testimonials Can Increase Your Web Traffic – Site
Testimonials Can Increase Your Web Traffic
Elizabeth McGee
Weve all seen and read product testimonials. Theyre a very valuable tool for merchant sales and can often tip the scales in determining a customers decision to buy. But testimonials offer another superb benefit. Its the benefit to you and your marketing strategy.
When Im on a site offering a product or service I like to click on customer testimonials because they are generally short and easy to read. People typically point out exactly what they like about a product and how they used it to their benefit. Testimonials come from real users, theyre not some ad written by the company.
Now, lets take the testimonial concept and think about it as a marketing strategy for you and your business.
Website testimonials describe how buyers feel about the products they have purchased and used. If you, as a buyer, offer your testimonial with your name and website address this now becomes a very valuable marketing tool for you. It will expose you and your business to everyone looking at that merchants website. If the merchant site happens to be a well-known site offering a high demand product, this could mean huge exposure for you.
Note that many merchant sites will display your website address but will not put an actual link to it. While its ideal to have a link to your site its not always necessary. I often investigate sites of testimonial givers whether there is a link attached or not. As long as your website address is displayed, that is good enough.
Testimonials can also double as a great linking strategy as well. If your testimonial includes your link and is displayed on the front page of four or five high ranking merchant sites this can increase your link popularity tremendously. By doing this you have also just eliminated the concern of linking to competitor sites and youve avoided the hassle of reciprocal linking.
Testimonials dont only need to be addressed to merchants you buy from. You should also send your testimonials to ezines or free online services that you use. Send them in the form of complimentary notes. Compliment their products or services and describe how you find them useful. Websites interested in boosting sales will often use them and you are much more likely to get printed if you are delivering a compliment.

If you need More Targeted Visitors to Your Site this Will get the Free Traffic Flowing

If you dont know by now one the best ways to attract free traffic to your site is with articles. You find them in your email. You find them on any website that provides useful content. Take a look and you will see they are all formatted the same way.
Attention-getting headline
Body of article usually offers tips or how to information
Resource box - That is at the end and involves a blurb to plug your site or product and your links
Im sure if you think about it you can come up with some ideas of your own for great articles. A good place to start:
What is it that you would really like to know Find the answer online with Google or go to your local library and write away!
Aside from creating helpful content your purpose is to promote yourself. Thus, the resource box. Do not include affiliate links, leave your selling for when the reader clicks through to your site.
Okay, youve written an article- what now
Submit your article to the article banks. Article banks are depositories for articles. Like a real bank you can make a deposit or a withdrawal. There are several articles on my site that I did not write. I made several "withdrawals" from some of the banks. Its a great way to get free content for your site.
When you are re-publishing another authors article you must remember one very important thing: Never ever cut-off the resource box! They worked hard to create something useful for you. Repay their generosity by keeping the links intact.
And guess what if you take your article and make a "deposit" its free for others to download and post on their site or newsletter! You could find it scattered all over the net in no time.
Why is that good Because of your link in the resource box. That link is going to bring you curious visitors which means more traffic for you!
I know from personal experience when I find some useful info in an article I want to find more useful stuff from the same author so I follow the link.
And because you wrote so well about your topic I will get the impression you are an expert. We both know that may not be the case, but if people see you as an authority in some area they will seek you out for tips, advice and product recommendations. That means more traffic and ultimately more money in your pocket.
There are dozens of article banks you can submit your writing to for free. Just do a search on the net. And submit, submit, submit! If you write it - the traffic will come.
