I get very frustrated with all the products that get released promising to help you make million of Dollars but don't mention the most important aspect of any site. How to generate traffic.
I don't care how great a product is if it doesn't show you how to generate good quality traffic then it's almost worthless. If I was starting out again I wouldn't spend money on any tools or e-books until I had mastered the art of traffic generation, and it really is an art of getting traffic to a site.
The best looking site in the world means nothing without human visitors. If you can't attract the website spiders and then organic traffic you will be left with a site of no value to you. Have a look at the forums where people buy and sell website and each thread will have 2 questions. How much does the site earn and how much traffic does it have. On a personal not i prefer traffic over income as I know I can turn traffic into income easier than generate new traffic.
If you concentrate on learning how to generate traffic to your sites you'll be able to launch sites in the certain knowledge of being able to make them profitable. I run a membership site and was creating some traffic videos only yesterday. I tried something I'd never done before and discovered that it got my site indexed in Google in 18 hours.
This was something new that I hadn't used before, needless to say I was pretty impressed. I used it on another site 3 hours ago and guess what? It's now showing in Google. That's 3 hours from creating an entry to it appearing in Google. I didn't even know that updated their database that often!
The method I used has not been mentioned in any of the traffic generation products I've read. However this is not too surprising as traffic generation is constantly evolving. Google change their algorithms and sites fall out of favor or become favored. It was only a few months ago that Squidoo was the best place to start your link building. Now it's fallen out of favor.
One great method of seeing what services and sites are worth putting your links on is by looking at Internet marketing niches. Internet marketers have never been slow in finding the best ways of getting indexed. Look at what sites are ranking for various search terms. If you find a web 2.0 site or a blog site test it on your sites and see how it performs. If it gives you results add it to your list of traffic generators.
By planning your traffic generation using the tools you discover you can quickly start to dominate search engine listings. By careful manipulation of your linking strategies it is often possible to grab many of the top 10 listings.
