How To Get Targeted Traffic To Your Website

Every webmaster and online business owner knows that to be able to generate sales you must have traffic, but not just any kind of traffic. It has to be targeted traffic. What exactly is targeted traffic? Simply said, these are visitors to your website that are interested in what your website is about or to what it offers. For example, people interested in buying baby clothing will find baby clothing websites interesting.

So how could you get targeted traffic? Here are some methods that you can use on your own traffic generation campaign:

Forums: Go and subscribe to forums that is related your topic. Try to answer questions and also join in the debates there. Become an authority in your chosen field. The simple trick here is that with each article reply you write, place a discreet link to your website in the signature file. What can be placed in your signature is often determined by the forum moderators. Avoid spamming the forum or you will be stopped from posting. This is one of the most productive ways of getting free traffic as those who click your link have already read and liked your style.

Exchanging with other websites: Try to contact website owners that have similar but not competitive websites to yours, ask them for a reciprocal link from their website to yours. Be sure to select your link partner to match closely your customer profile.

Advertising on E-Zines: Contact e-zine owners that have your target readership and buy advertisements from them. Be sure to have a test run to see that the return on investment is sufficient to cover the costs involved. If you are buying an extended run of advertisements haggle with the e-zine owner over price. You may save a considerable amount.

Offer Newsletters: When people visit your website offer them something of value for free if they sign up to your newsletter (like an e-Book). Your newsletter should be written tightly geared towards your topic. It should be published regularly at weekly intervals.

Distribute E-Books: Often used, these are usually free informational books for your clients and for others to give away free if they leave your links in the book itself. You can place links back to your website in the books you sell or give to your clients.

Participate in Joint Ventures: Contact online marketers looking for new products to sell. They often have large mailing lists with eager to buy customers. Normally they are willing to email their list for a cut of the sale price. This works particularly well with informational products. It has several advantages. It can give a very sizeable boost to both your sales and mailing list within a very short period.

Buy Traffic: This is probably the cheapest in terms of time and most expensive money wise. It gives a traffic boost normally within 30 days. What are you buying? You are buying traffic from expired domain names which the company selling the traffic has bought. They are domain names still registered on the search engines which get a considerable amount of traffic. The previous domain name owners have either lost interest in the name or simply forgot to renew the registration. This means that the traffic from the expired domain name is simply redirected to your website. This is usually high quality traffic as only websites with traffic such as you want is redirected to you. As always, a test run to see if this traffic is suitable should be undertaken.

Try combining all these techniques and apply them regularly and consistently over time then you will find a rich source of targeted traffic coming to your website. This, combined with quality products will ensure the success of your home based online business.
