Internet Web Site Traffic Course – Part 2 – Social Bookmarking
By Marlene Kristensen

There are several ways to increase the traffic coming to your website. The internet web site traffic course is in 5 parts. In this second part we will focus on Social Bookmarking. You will learn about what is social bookmarking, how to bookmark, what not to do, how to get others to bookmark your links and most important why even bother.

What is social bookmarking?

In a nutshell, Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources. Bookmarks are links to web pages, pictures, videos or other content found on the internet.

Bookmarking is growing in popularity and if you really want to get all the benefits and generate internet web site traffic with social bookmarking, you should start as soon as possible. I know it seems like a huge task but you will soon get the hang of it. If you do not want to do this yourself, it is quite easy to outsource. You can even find software that will speed up the process for you.

Where do you bookmark?

There are a ton of bookmarking sites available, but I recommend that you start with some of the most popular ones like Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon and Delicious. Make sure you at least do these ones. Maybe you can begin to see, that you can create a whole linking network, with these services. And what do you catch in a net? No, not flies, something better: Targeted leads. You can share whatever you want on these sites. Blog posts, videos, articles and so on.

How do you use social bookmarking?

There are a few simple steps you can follow to really harness social bookmarking.

1. Book Mark Your Links

Social bookmarking sites have a high authority in the search engines, this means, that a link from one of these sites gives credibility to your site. This, in turn, means your site will gain trust and a higher rank in the search results. Combined with article writing, this is a powerful tool, as we spoke on in the last part of this course. So of cause you use bookmarking on your main page as well as your articles. This will over time give you huge targeted exposure and explode your internet web site traffic.

2. Choosing the Category

It is very important that you submit your link to the right category. The better fit between link and category; the easier it is for people to find it. It also makes the viewer highly targeted, because they are looking in a certain category out of interest. Also it sends a wrong picture of you and your brand, if your bookmarks show up randomly. And here it is important to think about that what you are doing is actually branding, creating awareness and that is to be taking seriously!

3. Get others to book mark your links

Here we are talking about popularity. Each of the bookmarking sites has a main page where all the most popular links/bookmarks are listed. When people see a submission that they like, they can vote for it. This is done differently on each site but the idea is the same. The more people vote on your links, the more popular it gets and the snow ball effect takes over. Always use catching headlines that intrigue people, this will get you more readers. And most important, only submit quality, unique content. This will build your votes and your brand as well.

4. Read the rules and guidelines

Before using any social bookmarking site, make sure you read and understand their rules and regulations and use accordingly. You do not want to lose such a great source of internet web site traffic!

Get on Google’s first page

We have talked about getting targeted visitors direct from the bookmarking sites. We also briefly touched the concept of search engine ranking. This is a great benefit of using social bookmarking. I greatly improves your site’s ranking. As you know, Google ranks websites based on their importance, and the relevancy of the keywords used. Also on age, but only time can do something about that  If you go and take action on this information you will quickly get new pages indexed and all pages highly ranked. The above mentioned sites have great ranking and a link from any of them will increase the value of your page in the search engines.

Social bookmarking is a very powerful tool to increase your internet web site traffic. But remember without quality content it is a waste of time. You can’t put a price on targeted traffic, it is simply to valuable, and social bookmarking will get it for you. Use it wisely!

Internet Web Site Traffic Course – Part 1 – Article Writing
By Marlene Kristensen

There are several ways to increase the traffic coming to your website. The internet web site traffic course is in 5 parts. In this first part we will focus on Article Writing. You will learn about getting article ideas, keywords, links, submissions and the important author box.

How To Write An Article

First you have to figure out what you want to write about. A great place for inspiration is in fact in all the article directories. You chose a topic and see what is most popular right now. Forums is another great place for getting article ideas.

Once you know what to write about, you have to make sure you get the exposure you deserve. Articles are great for generating trust and targeted leads, but you must take care how you set things up in order to get the right attention.

When writing articles for the internet, there are a few things to take in to consideration:

1. Keywords

Keywords are search terms that people type into a search engine (like Google) to get the information that they want. We can use these keywords to let the search engines know that our article can provide that information. If someone types in “cat training”, the search engine starts to look for web pages with that keyword. The more emphasis a web page has on a particular term, the more relevant the search engine thinks it is and the higher the page will appear in the search results. Now this is what we need to be aware of if we want to use our article to get more internet web site traffic. The rules apply to our blogs and web page as well.

2. Where to put keywords

Of cause we would put our keyword in the title of the article. This is for our reader to see that the article is relevant, but also for the search engines. The engines want the keyword to appear in the title as well as the first paragraph. After that try putting it in 1-2 times per 100 words.

Remember though, keyword stuffing in an article is often penalized by search engines and article directories.

3. Inserting the valuable links

If you want to use your article to generate internet web site traffic to your blog or homepage, you need to put in links to that. This will increase your traffic in two ways. First of, people who read your article can click your link and go straight to your page. Second, the more incoming links your page has, the more authority does the search engines give your site, and it will appear higher in the search results.

Inserting links is an art. You don’t want to just through in some links randomly. First you have to get the reader interested in the subject your page is about, tell them enough to get them wanting more and then direct their attention to your link and tell them to go there to get more information or get the product, if that is your topic. Most directories have strict rules to where you can put links and how many you can have. Read the directories guidelines to make sure you don’t mess up.

4. Article directories submission

There are many directories you can post to. EzineArticles.com is just one of them. Some are free some require a fee. You can go signup to a few and see which one you like, of cause you can post to as many as you like, but make sure you change the article. Posting the same article over and over will only put you own in the eyes of the search engines. I do not recommend using auto submission software for that same reason. If you want a good reputation and gain authority, take care of the quality of your postings.

5. The author box

The resource or the author’s box has two functions. The first function is to brand yourself and gain respect as an expert author. The second function is to give your reader a place to get more information. This can be about the subject you write, a related product which you sell or is an affiliate of or it can be a link to a personal branding page. Use it wisely!

6. Last thing – article promotion

When you have submitted your article, the work is only half done. Now, it is time to promote your article even more. To do this, you can use social bookmarking, social media and so on. To learn more on this, read the next part of the course or go check out my free report in the resource box.

To sum up on getting internet web site traffic from articles, you have to pick you subject carefully to make sure people are interested. You have to get the right keywords so people will find your page. Take care of how you use links and submit your article and last, but not least, use the author box wisely!

Hope you enjoyed this first part of the internet website traffic course part 1. Remember this is a 5 part course, so go look for the other parts to really get you moving! If you want to learn how to generate traffic using web 2.0 techniques, go see the resource box.

It doesn’t matter if you have a great product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it big. Worse of all, you business could just get killed.

While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra push in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing.

 In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family.

A perfect example is a free report or e-book with affiliate links or company links in them.

 Viral marketing has become a trendy means of advertising and marketing for the reason that they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one individual to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well.

 Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in distributing their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one individual in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with.

 Viral Marketing – use it to your benefit

 The main and foremost gain of viral marketing is that you make a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company. You get to make a flow of traffic that are likely customers.

There are so many success stories you will hear about businesses making it good in the internet. The troubling thing is, there are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories contradictory to theirs on how to generate traffic online. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business enterprise that is internet based but only a handful shall succeed.

Is this through luck? That is even more remote. It takes good business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed and the determination to learn and the willingness to invest in a lot of hard work and some money in generate traffic online.

The Very Basic

Like Neo, traffic is “The One”. Without traffic, all your effort would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products to. In the internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic you have the more people would be able to sell your products to. You simply must master the skill on how generate traffic online.

But like any business that’s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy, but the greater of number that do come in to browse your merchandise, the greater number of people that will buy your products. It is a simple and known fact.

But, how do you get traffic, traffic large enough that could make a small percentage of eventual buyers enough to make a good profit. Many big companies generate traffic online of tens of thousands a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but that small percentage is enough to provide them with good business.

Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people that knows that your site exists; the more people would of course go to your site, that’s common sense.

While there are many ways that can get you advertising for free, this do not generate the same high volume as those methods that are getting paid. These paid advertisements include advertising schemes by Google and Yahoo.

The Value of Searches

The search and will be the easiest and fastest medium in finding what a person needs in the internet. Search engines have been very popular because they provide a vital service to many people. They are free and easy to use. With this popularity, they get many visitors and clicks that they are the most common sites that people go to. It is easy to understand why so many companies would pay to advertise with these search engines.

Search engines provide information to the millions of users that they have each day. They provide links to many sites that a user may be looking for. If your sites link pop up in the high ranks of the search results page, you get a great chance that they will go to your site. While search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.

When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying for your traffic. This may sound like not such a good idea, but the payoffs would tell a different story. When you pay for your traffic, you are guaranteed of a consistent traffic flow to your site. You will never go with an empty sales day. The key issue is to generate traffic online on a constant basis.

Paying for your Traffic

Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ads is clicked, this is called pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad. There are many tools that aid you in using the right keyword for the right moment.

All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be for naught. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which will also result to a great boost in your sales figures.

If you want to get good website traffic promotion, one way is to use keywords in the page titles. That will surely increased web site traffic fast as your page will rank high in google.

It is recommended to use keywords in page titles itself. This title tag is different from a Meta tag, but it’s worth considering it in relation to them. Whatever text one places in the title tag (between the <title> and </title> portions) will appear in the title bar of browsers when they view the web page. Some browsers also append whatever you put in the title tag by adding their own name, as for example Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or OPERA.

 The actual text you use in the title tag is one of the most important factors in how a search engine may decide to rank your web page. In addition, all major web crawlers will use the text of your title tag as the text they use for the title of your page in your listings.

 If you have designed your website as a series of websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must bear in mind that each page of your website must be search engine optimized. The title of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the phrases you use in the content will draw traffic to your site.

 The unique combination of these words and phrases and content will draw customers using different search engine terms and techniques, so be sure you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or information page.

 The most common mistake made by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their business name or firm name in every title of every page. Actually most of your prospective customers do not bother to know the name of your firm until after they have looked at your site and decided it is worth book marking.

 So, while you want your business name in the title of the home page, it is probably a waste of valuable keywords and space to put it in the title line of every page on your site. Why not consider putting keywords in the title so that your page will display closer to the top of the search engine listing.

 Dedicating first three positions for keywords in title avoiding the stop words like ‘and’, ‘at’ and the like is crucial in search engine optimization.
