Targeted Website Traffic – Traffic Supremacy, The New Kid On The Block

Getting enough free targeted website traffic has been the bain of my internet marketing life. When I first got online I dabbled a bit with Google Adwords and Yahoo search marketing but never really had any success with it. I got put off by the stories of people running up huge credit card bills with them. So all my attempts at traffic generation has been using free methods.

I have tried email blasters, traffic exchanges, list builders, free ads, articles, press releases, forum posting, blog commenting, social book marking, and more recently Twitter and videos. Maybe I am not doing enough of it consistently enough but I have never seen the boost in traffic that I was expecting.

Will a Little Link Juice Boost Your Website Rank?

Link juice is not the latest fad in health drinks but you need it for the health of your blog or website. Without link juice your site is not going to be ranked by the search engines. Without traffic your site is dead.

So what is link juice?

Are You Blogging For Fun Or To Make Money On The Web?

Many people think that blogging is fun and very easy and that you can make money on the web without much effort.

You may have read some eBooks where they tell you that all you have to do to make money online is to start blogging, add some AdSense code and promote some affiliate products in your posts and you will make money.

Well coach Alex set his students a competition to see who could drive the most traffic to his or her blog from 11th May to 7th June. When I visited the forum recently I saw a post by one of the students about the number of visitors he had to his blog and I was devastated.

Last week we had a Webinar every night about how to drive traffic to our websites and it became very clear that effective time management is the vital key to getting everything done. Alex gave us so many ways of driving traffic to our blogs for free that my head was spinning. Where do I start?
