Traffic, a game of its own. New outlooks and perspectives. Newbie guide
 

Millions of people are trying to establish and build traffic. The majority of webmasters don't build sites for personal satisfaction. They build sites for money. Money was easier years ago and could get highly ranked pages quickly if seo was done correctly.

Tips:

#1: Don't saturate an already saturated niche. For example, before buying a domain do some keyword research. Google keyword is great or wordtracker. If you try to target the keyword, salad, it will be hard to get se traffic without enough content and hardlinks so try something easier. Like, healthy green salads, less competition and you can result in higher se results. Target more competitive keywords when you start making money and can have enough unique content written and some high priority hardlinks.

#2 unique content is key for a web master's success. Anyone can make a blog with a auto feed in 5 minutes, but where are you going to stand in three years. If you are lazy go to freelancer.com and hire someone to write your content. I pay 1.35 for 500 words, they are dirt cheap and some of the more reputable freelancer writers do a good job. Guru.com is another option if you don't like freelancer. Unique content is what makes google trust you and you don't have to worry about being sandboxed.

#3 hardlinks are very important, but make sure you are buying hardlinks in your specific niche and not just on random sites. You want your hardlinks from other sites to fit your niche and make sure your anchors target what you are aiming for.

#4 A marketing campaign can be needed if you are selling something, but no point in really buying traffic just to feed your blog. You will gain most of your sales from se traffic. If you are selling a product go with banner advertising or blogs selling your goods. You can pop out 150 free blogs in a month and easily sale your product a few times.

Don't turn off people by a poor design, buy one.

Don't turn off people by just putting keywords or tagging for just hits, make your content fit your keywords.

Don't spell words wrong, use spellcheck.

Don't have 100000 ads on your page redirecting people, start off easy, gain traffic, and start integrating ads into your site.

Think small, you will not become successful over night and don't give up. Learn from your mistakes and keep building. Only takes one success for 20 failures.

On #2, original content written for people, not just for search engines wins every time. It's too easy to fall into the trap of tailoring your content just for the search engines while forgetting the fact that it is people who click links and buy.

The content you provide should hold some value to the surfer. When writing content ask youself "why should someone care ?", "why should I stay on this page and then click a link ?", asking those questions and writing original content with those questions in mind will turn more surfers into buyers.

Thanks for the tips

Wonderful post.

I might add, that once you have that traffic, trade it and get new traffic. Lots of.wonderful scripts out there.

Thanks, it is hard to type on a mobile phone.

Also, if you going for adult. Don't show it all, tease your traffic and make them want more.

Some basic stuff...

#5. Use http://www.plugrush.com to trade traffic with other sites in the same niche, and of equal traffic quality. Place a widget on your site, and it does the rest automatically. That way you can focus your time and energy on other things than trading. Like #1-#4

Hence the word newbie in the title lol

great post. someone actually giving good advice... amazing.

#6. Hijack threads to spam your wannabe traffic trading solution to the world. Win!

I never understood why people do that lol. It is pointless. I refrain from putting ref links in my posts. I would rather spam my advice.

It's the desperate act of people who don't have any value to add to a discussion other than their spam. Shame really.

Oh well, part of life I guess. They can gfy.

good stuff man! thanks!:thumbsup:thumbsup

Thank you

Whats the type of quality you get for that price? Does it actually look like an english writer did the work? I'm desperately searching for good writers and all I get our filipinos/indians/whatever that speak very basic english.

All the American writers I hire are either lazy, or ask for an arm and a leg for mediocre quality work.

yippee...

Or just make a tube, that's easy

Great post thanks.

I would like to know this as well.

Me too :thumbsup

ignore this idiot

anyone with good traffic doesnt trade it with anyone

edite:and good post hardlinksells :thumbsup

I think this is the problem:

"The majority of webmasters don't build sites for personal satisfaction. They build sites for money."

Its better to build a site about something you care about, that way you will stick with it and the quality will be way better.

Thanks everyone.

By the way, I do a lot of high priority hardlinks in mainstream. I have 75 sites, all wordpress blogs, and all hosted on separate ips and 12 different host in the same niche, health fitness and dieting. I buy new domains in that specific niche and use my hardlinks. I buy quality handwritten articles, place adsense ads, and customize all of it with the same adsense wordpress theme.

I then wait 5 months and interlink the site within my own blogs to build high priority within my newly established blog and then sell it off.

It pays off well, due to the traffic, high quality original content, original comments by real users, and real bookmarkers. The income can be anywhere from 250 to 350 a month from adsense and I flip it. Then start over again. Quick bang for my buck and don't have to add it to my initial 75 blogs. I like it that way :) good luck everyone.

See sig and trade some hardlinks or lets do a traffic trade! Contact me if you've set one up please so I can enable it!

Could you send me an email to sig? I may have a couple of domains that'd work well for your business :)
