It's probably the most sought-after topic in Internet marketing - how to get more traffic to your websites.
It doesn't matter whether you're selling your own products, promoting affiliate offers or looking for AdSense clicks, you're not going to earn a single cent if there's no traffic coming to your site.
There's more to the process than just getting more traffic, however. You not only want traffic, you want targeted traffic - people who are going to be interested in what you have to offer.
In this article we're going to look at a number of ways - both paid and free - to get more visitors to your website.
Some of these methods can generate almost instant traffic while others will take longer to gain momentum.
By diversifying your traffic generation over several methods, you can get fast traffic while gradually ramping it up over a longer period of time.
Let's jump right in...
Getting The Right Kind Of Traffic
Before we look at any specific methods for generating traffic to your website, we should really discuss what kind of traffic you should be targeting.
Because there is a right and a wrong kind of traffic.
The right kind of traffic is visitors who are not only interested in what you have to offer them, they're willing and able to take the action that you want them to take.
The wrong kind is simply the opposite - visitors who aren't likely to take your "most wanted action."
Let's look at a couple of examples...
First, let's say you have an affiliate review website. You post reviews and other content on your site, with affiliate links for those products.

Whenever someone buys one of the offers, you get paid a commission.
If you generate a ton of traffic, but not very many of those people are either willing or able to spend money, you're not going to generate much profit from them.
A good example would be a market where your visitors are mostly teenagers. While they might be very interested in the subject, and willing to buy what you're promoting, a large percentage of them won't be able to buy because they don't have credit cards and their parents may not let them use theirs.
