Top 5 Traffic Generators Revealed

I was reading somewhere today that there is one thing that you need above all else to learn how to make money online and that is to learn how to generate traffic. While this is true to an extent, if you are selling dog food and all of your traffic is aquarium owners, you are not doing yourself much good are you??? (This is where keyword research comes into play but that is a whole topic all together.  But if you need a quick refresher on keyword research you can check out: 4 Steps to Keyword research That Will Help You Find the Opportunities You Are Looking For!) I am going to introduce you to traffic generation and some of the free things that you can be doing to generate traffic to your website to get some of the quick hits that you are looking for.  (Note that these techniques do not cover on-site SEO which we will talk about in a separate post later this month.) Any traffic strategy is going to take some time and effort so today we will focus on a few things that you can do as soon as you are done reading this to begin bringing people to your squeeze pages, affiliate product reviews, etc… As I review my Google Analytics account, my top five traffic generators for my business (excluding organic search engine rankings) are:

1. Twitter
2. Email Marketing
3. Facebook
4. Article Marketing
5. Web 2.0 Content Sites

Over the next few weeks I will be reviewing each of these in more detail.  Of there are any specific questions that you have, just leave a comment and I will reply or I will write an entire post in response.
