If you found this page while surfing on a traffic exchange, you already
know about how traffic exchange works, but do you know why? If you
don't, keep reading.
The way that traffic exchanges work is exactly what the term implies, you
exchange traffic with other webmasters, but why?
Yes, of course the obvious, visitors to your site are potential customers,
but other than that, what does it do?
To be honest, not much! Unless you combine traffic exchange, with other
forms of advertisement. If you will, picture a bicycle wheel, full of good
straight and tight spokes, each form of advertisement is another spoke in
your marketing wheel. Just like with the bicycle wheel, if you have a bad
spoke, you tighten it up, or you replace it. You wouldn't trust a bike wheel
with only one spoke would you?
Ok, so why am I spending my time autosurfing? All I see is ads for more
traffic exchanges, work-at-home offers, e-mail farms, and get rich quick
scams, why bother? Well, if you look closely, there are other sites in
rotation, again, so what?
Do you think that Google analyzes every little detail about what people
are searching for? Of course they are! I use Google Analytics with my
websites and those that I promote. When you came to this page, Google
recorded it for me, thanks. Traffic is an important thing, it says that your
site is interesting and that people are visiting and for how long.
Don't get me wrong, having a total marketing plan is very important,
Submit your site to the search engines, use pay-per-click ads, link
exchanges, anything and everything you can, but be practical.
Paying millions for a Super Bowl TV ad just isn't cost effective for most of
us, but it would get your site seen, and probably use up your bandwidth in
minutes! However, would they buy anything? Maybe, but I doubt it, most
people that hear about a website on TV, and that actually go visit that
site, are just curious. However, if you have a business that advertises
regularly on TV, include your web address, it will add credibility, if they
can find you online, before going to your physical business location.
That answered, How do I get more traffic to my website?
Getting more traffic or more visitors to your website is not an easy thing for many, if not most
webmasters.
Promoting your site or website can be aggravating. There are many ways to get more traffic to your
website. You can buy pay per click ads, offline advertising (Newspaper ads, etc.), bulk email marketing
(I call that SPAM-vertising), link exchange, traffic exchange, banner exchange, article exchange, and
others.
The most effective and efficient way to get more traffic to your website is through search engines. The
average web user doesn't visit many sites that they don't find by using a search engine, That is the most
efficient way to find customers online, by letting them find you! So, getting your site indexed by the
search engines is the most important, think about it. Assume that they hear your radio ad, they see your
TV ad, but, do they get it written down so that they can look it up?. Maybe, if your lucky. When they get
to the computer, they can remember only so much, so they do a Google search, it is those sites with
those keywords and phrases that will get your customer. That is why, search engines are so important.
Link Exchange, Banner Exchange, Article Exchange
What do these things do? They create Link Popularity, which shows a site's significance because it is
one measure of a site's worth or value because of the number of other Web sites who felt your site is
important enough to link to. The number of Inbound links to your website from other sites is important to
the Ranking of your site. The more websites linking to your site makes it easier for searchers to find and
the more traffic you will get. Outbound links are also important, if you link to a really bad site, it will also
let the search engines know a lot about your site. Google says the best way to ensure that pages in
your site are indexed is to build links to them using keywords and anchor text for more relevance. Get

Search engine submission
The term "search engine submission" is as the name suggests about submitting your web pages to the
search engines, in order to get your site indexed by the search engines and web directories, so that
people can find your site using random keywords or key phrases. Remember, you don't have to pay for
it, its FREE! Add your URL to Google. or
Submit your site to Yahoo! Those are the main ones, the others will pick it up from them. Remember,
search engines don't like SPAM either, once it is submitted, leave them alone and wait! It could take
months.
Don't fall for the old "I can get your site indexed by" .... or "guaranteed top 10 listing" scams, if you do
a search for your website URL, lets use mine for an example www.wildwebdesigner.com when you click
that link, you are running a search, look at the page, where does my site show up? Usually, well within
the top 10! Along with other sites that link to it, getting the picture? I didn't use any tricks for that!
Google is a very big organization, it has much more to do than worry about one little website, no matter
how important it is to you! Google has many different servers and crawlers or spiders, it takes a long
time, no matter what!
The internet is a BIG PLACE! Just be patient, and watch out for the people trying to sell you "previously
unknown secrets" none of that is real, I don't care what they say. All that you can do is submit your site,
and your Sitemap, what is a sitemap? Once you know, create a Google account and submit yourwebsite
and sitemap. How do I get a sitemap to submit? There are many tools available, but my favorite is
GSiteCrawler from SoftPlus, and currently it is FREE! That is all it takes. For more information visit
Google's Webmaster Help Center
Search engine optimization
The term "search engine optimization" or " search engine optimisation" refers to creating a more
search engine friendly website. Click each link to see what listings show up, notice the difference? That
is what it is all about! Search engines use many different ranking criteria to rank web pages. If your
website meets these criteria, you will see a gradual increase in rankings when combined with growing
numbers of inbound links, more traffic, and so on. Here is a FREE tool, WebCEO, I use it!
How to get more traffic to your website - Banner advertising
Another popular way to get more traffic to your website is through banner exchange / banner
advertising. Advertising your banner on major search engines or other websites can also get you more
exposure, hence, more traffic.
How to get more traffic to your website - Email advertising
Getting more traffic to your website through email marketing can also prove profitable. There are some
companies out there specializing in bulk e-mailing. As I stated before, I call this SPAM-Vertising! There
are some risks and drawbacks with email advertising.
I would avoid this one, unless they sign up on your site, to get your newsletter, and that is all that you
send them. I have signed up on sites, where they hid in their TERMS AND CONDITIONS that it is ok for
them to send you other stuff, or sell your e-mail address, if you have agreed, technically, it isn't SPAM,
but you may receive much more than you thought, so watch out.
How to get more traffic to your website - Pay Per Click Search Engines
Pay-per-clicks search engines offer search engine placement by bid. You bid by keywords. The cost for
pay per click can range anywhere from 0.10 cents to $25.00 or more! There are several pay-per-clicks
search engines including Google AdWords, Microsoft Ad Center and Yahoo/Overture. Yes, there are
many others, like this, but you get what you pay for, if you know what I mean. One exception is the old
stand-by, the phone book, ever use one of those? I don't, unless it is online, and then it usually isn't on
purpose! That is why my favorite pay per click that also gets people on the phone, is Superpages.com,
these folks get it done! When someone does a search for something like this, yellow pages, you get a
wider selection, but, check out the pricing!
