There are two general sources of
Internet traffic:
- Traffic generated
OFFLINE (not on the Internet)
This you generally do yourself by putting your website address
EVERYWHERE; on letterhead, business cards, flyers, giveaway
pens, yellow pages, shaved onto your teenager's head (well,
maybe that's going overboard), anywhere you can think of.
Also, word of mouth can be extremely helpful, so for goodness
sake, tell people about your website - don't keep it a
secret.
- Traffic generated ONLINE
(on the Internet)
If you have lots of time, don't mind the extensive learning
curve, and are willing to stay on top of the numerous changes
occurring almost weekly in the field of Internet Marketing, you
can do this yourself. If not, you're going to need some
competent help.
But be careful...
Beware of Traffic Peddlers!
There
are lots of people
out there who will promise you traffic, especially cheap traffic. Some are
well intentioned amateurs, some may be equally well intentioned
friends and family. But, sadly, many are just plain scam
artists.
Over the years, I have come
across only a very few competent professionals who actually know how to
generate real, targeted traffic.
These specialists study exactly how to
optimize your web pages, get you found with the right keywords in
the right search engines, and they can tell you where to get your
best bang for the buck with some judicious Internet advertising.
They can also design legitimate email campaigns that won't
get you labeled a spammer.
But even the pros who know their Internet marketing stuff can
be frustrating to work with. It is easy for the non-professional to get lost or
confused with all the jargon they talk and the many options they
offer.
"So How Do I Promote My Website?"

marketing strategy must address the unique aspects of your
business, the people you do business with, and your budget.
With this in mind, I will act as
your advocate, working closely with the appropriate proven
Internet Marketing pros, implementing recommended enhancements to your

easy-to-understand language and making sure you have an Internet
marketing strategy that makes sense for you. I will be there every step of
the way, to ensure you are receiving the most cost-effective,
