Generating Targeted Web Traffic in 2013 - DreamWebMedia

via DreamWebMedia What are some powerful ways to really drive targeted web traffic with all the new Google updates? I have been doing on marketing and driving web traffic to my blog sites as well as ecommerce site since 2009 and I can tell that the game of seo has really changed in regards to the strategy. And one of the ways that I have seen a rise in traffic to my web blogs and ecommerce site is simply leveraging some of these tactics below. Answer Sites Video Sites Social Media Forums In regards to the answer sites, this is a gold mine and most people keep on undermining it. This is okay because most of the people who are on those Q and A sites are real people providing real answers. Plus because there are so many of these types of sites springing up, there is a lot more moderation than your regular forum where there are already thousands of people if not hundreds of thousands, meaning that moderation on those networks are not as strict. But sites like yahoo answers and the like are really powerful as well as moderated for real user experience as well as for driving quality, prospect ready targeted visitors to your blog or ecommerce or information based content site. Regardless of the website, it is all about providing the best answer at all these sites and making sure that you have a rock star profile so people will increase their trust to follow or share you so to speak. Another super easy way to drive targeted web traffic to a website is by replying to threads in the forums with something useful and of course having a signature link that includes a strong call to action. Now before you go out to the forums, you’ll need to create an account and make sure to just help out and don’t worry about the signature link. Plus unless you plan on running a real business online adding any link to your website right off the bat looks just like spam. Again, if you have done this, don’t worry and just know and move forward with what you know when you get into the forums and you want to market your services and products. Most of the time I see people who have a good signature as well as helpful replies will naturally get some traffic flowing back to your back. Now video marketing is huge right now and plans on to be for the next 5-10 years from my studies. Until the Google glasses and the other retina visual based computing technology comes into the world on a consumer level and affordable basics, the only way to reach consumers online and keep them engaged is to repeat history of the television era and just bring it online. Of course you are not that envy and will realize in order for you to be on the content provider side, be sure that you create your own videos and have a link to your website. Some of the best types of videos to create and drive targeted website traffic: *How To Videos *Benefits *Stats about your niche *A real review of a product and not just pictures. Yes the picture does work depending on your niche and I am not saying don’t do it, but I am saying that if you plan on being any kind of authority, you have to put yourself out there a little. I’m sure it can be uneasy as an internet marketer to have your face in a certain market and then be seen in another market. But to be honest, that is the best way to do it and be seen because then people see that you have a variety of knowledge. You know that big companies are getting into new forms of business models yet they did not start that way. Amazon is an example where you would go to purchase physical things and now you can purchase cell phones, sell online, buy digital music as well as ebooks. You can even apply for a prepaid card, credit card, visa amazon card and there are even cell phone networks that you can sign up with all through amazon. The one main goal when you are creating multiple blogs or involving yourself in new niches is to make sure that the niche you are in has some good standing. For example, if you were running a website where you sold things and then you wanted to do it again in a different market, it would be wise to have some kind of online proof that you delivered your products and other customers had a good time doing business with you. Of course some customers you can never make happy which usually means you really messed up or they messed up or they were having a really bad day and didn’t care what you had to say. Regardless though of those smaller issues as long as the majority of the people you served previously were happy and others find out, then you have put yourself in a good position to do business in another market and keep the trust going as you sell more and new products and services. Social media is another way to drive quality targeted web traffic, One thing that people are focusing in on is Bing search and Facebook search Graph. If you research as well as plan on out your social media system, you can really drive some powerful and real web traffic to your website (not fiverr robot likes). Here is an example, simply get a content locking or liking system in place for your Fanpage and then have a super powerful freebie offer where people would be crazy not to become a fan or like. From there, be sure that you engage them weekly or daily depending on the market. And each day be sure that you go out to Facebook and find people in groups that you are already in and then befriend them directly through that group. Don’t spam them but just say that you thought they might be interested in your link as well because you have a passion about whatever it is and want more people to be involved in the cause. Another great way to drive traffic is to create 1,000-2,000 word post about something and focus it in on something that has a lot of searches. Then create an optimized blog post or website page about and then social bookmark that url and post it on facebook. The reason for this is that if you have friends or followers there, you’ll get some quicker traffic, but also when you have done other on-site and off-site marketing, having your blog post optimized as well as some social media signals set up, it will alert the search bots thus causing them to determine if your exact blog post that was spread through the social media outlets are quality and professional enough to be on the first page of Google. One thing that you also have to realize is that each url is now being tracked even more like a number so to speak. And if those urls are not shared again or it is just a rise and then a fall, that is the kind of results you might also get depending on your niche. You might ask, “If these ways are so easy why aren’t a lot of people doing them?” I admit and I’m sure everyone will tell you that they want to do what works and move onto building their company. Most people in general who depend on their income online don’t care about the small little details and when(in the past) it was just about creating okay content and submitting it, that is what worked and that is why no one was truly interested in answers and forums and such. Would you spend another $100 or 10 hours or 100 hours in a forum when you could just spend $5-$50 dollars, spin your content and get rankings within days? I’m sure you realize now why there are so many things changing in regards to search traffic. Also, marketers are realizing their segmented markets and niches want to talk with real people online. Having the same results pull up all the time, gets boring. People nowadays want to connect with the blogger or the writer or business or author or whoever and see if they can relate to them and if they will benefit by following such person or company. Having you brand on those question and answer sites as well as forums and videos and social media will truly help put yourself in front of real people so you can get targeted web traffic.
