Free Traffic is Right Under Your Nose
A lot of us are interested in getting traffic to our website but there are very few of us that are able to pay for it on a consistent basis. Yes, some of the larger websites have people behind them who tend to have very deep pockets. For most of us, however, our pockets are not very deep and unless we are able to turn a profit by paying for the traffic, we’d rather just find a way to get it for free.
Even if we were able to pay for traffic consistently, free traffic is still something that is very sweet to many of us. Not only is it coming to us without a cost, many of the sources that bring it our direction tend to send very targeted traffic. Here are three different ways that you can find free, targeted traffic to visit your webpage. Put these things into motion and work on them consistently, you would be surprised at the amount of traffic that it can actually send you.
The first thing that we are going to talk about is search engine optimization. This is something that has been done for many years and although most of us have a general grasp of how it is accomplished, very few of us really follow through on it consistently. The fact of the matter is, if you are not working on the search engine optimization of your website, you are leaving a lot of money on the table. Look around for some very targeted, low competition keyword phrases which you can rank easily for in the search engines. Do everything within your power in order to push your website up to the top whenever these keyword phrases are searched for. Through a series of on page and off page optimization techniques, you can start a flood of free traffic to your website that will continue for a very long time. Not only is it going to be free, it is going to be as targeted as what you make it out to be.
Another source of free traffic is video marketing. This is something that really wasn’t available just a few short years ago but now, it seems that people just can’t get enough of watching online videos. You don’t need to be an expert at putting together videos in order for you to be successful at this. As a matter of fact, you can string together a slideshow of images and include an audio track in the background and people are going to pass that around if it is interesting enough. The best thing about video marketing is that it is free and you’re not really limited in the number that you try. If one doesn’t work, put another one out there and you will eventually strike gold.
The final way that we are going to talk about is forum marketing. Forums are really online communities where people gather together to talk about a specific subject. If you find one of these areas that is related to what your website has to offer, you can receive a lot of targeted traffic. It is important for you to understand, however, that you don’t simply go into the forum in order to leave your link. Get involved in the conversation and only leave your link in passing, perhaps in the signature box at the bottom of your post. If you make your information compelling enough, people will naturally follow through to your website in order to see what you have to offer.

To maximize your affiliate marketing success, you will need to build an email opt-in list. This is a very effective and proven success internet marketing strategy that you must not over look in building your affiliate marketing business.
Once you decide to create an opt-in email form in your website, it is not just the matter of sending your list of subscribers your promotional stuffs, but also familiarize yourself with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 to be sure that you are meeting the legal requirements of email marketing. These are laws that applied to help protect the privacy of the internet users from spamming and unwanted emails.
Like a horror film, email marketing often gets a bad rap. It is always understandably misunderstood by many with the ungodly amounts of spam flooding inboxes across the universe. Believe it or not, legitimate email exists, and as an unfortunate side effect of all of that spam, it is often a struggle to get these legitimate email through to their subscribers due to overly sensitive spam filters. It is a battle email marketers face everyday.
If you are new to the game, or have been considering stepping into it, there are 3 things you should keep in mind before getting your feet wet!
1. Take notice of your unsuccessful mail delivery.
These are bounced emails that might happen if the server was too busy, email address go bad, people change email address or ISPs and so on. Users Inbox may run out of space. A proliferation of email accounts means everyone and his 90 year old grandma has a Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo account or two, or even five. With only a few megabytes of storage space, users inbox fills up quickly. If you try to deliver mail to these accounts, you get a warning message.
Your system should also be able to respond to these bounced emails and act appropriately. Email servers are smart. If they see you bouncing too much mail, to too many subscribers, they’ll block you off their network segment entirely. Then you won’t be able to reach anyone on your server, even good addresses.
Managing your opt-in list by deleting those address that bounced so that you have an accurate statistic and records tells you how many are actually receiving your mail. A clean list will raise your response rate!
2. Always provide an unsubscribe feature at the bottom of your email.
Send your newsletter or email to people who opt-in ONLY. Double opt-in options are even more better. When they have to confirm their subscription, there is less chance of any misunderstanding and spamming. It also includes making sure to give the subscribers instructions on how to opt-out, or unsubscribe from further messages.
When someone in your list files a request to be unsubscribe, always take the request seriously. If you don’t take them off, you are considered sending spam emails.
If you are reported as a spammer, you and your business can get into trouble. You can be reported to an authorities like Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or SpamCop and maybe blacklisted by many Internet Service Providers. This way, you will lose your email list and even potential subscribers.
3. Provide accurate and related content only.
Do not provide unrelated or disturbing content to your list. It is hard to decipher the age of the recipient and many complains may stem from these. Stick to the nature of your business and niche.
If you keep the above points in mind, you are more likely to get your spam free email delivered, and this is one of the greatest obstacles to overcome with any email marketing campaign. You can also have a healthy relationship with your subscribers.

(No Ratings Yet)Fight the summer’s slowdown
Just a quick update to let you know what I’m up to…
Over the pass few months, I have been very very busy with my day job. If you are my new affiliates, I’m an Expatriate and Interior Architect stationed in China since 2004. My job is to design hotels and bring space to life! If you have the chance to come to China for the Olympic summer games, you might stay in one of the hotels I designed (only new 5 star hotels :D). I have been travelling a lot recently, and if you emailed me, please give me some time to reply. I also recommend you to visit SFI discussion forum for QUICK answers.
I’m in the mid of writing a new ebook for my EAs as well as my As to rebrand and give it away to their affiliates. I haven think of a good title yet, but it’s about affiliate and network marketing. You can rebrand it and insert your name and website URL, plus SFI gateway and even PlugInProfit site URL. I have started writing this ebook long time ago, guess early this year, but lack of time to finish it. I hope to finish it by next month so that you could download it free. Hope this gives my EAs another way to recruit and send traffic to their sites. If you are interested in downloading this ebook for free, then stay tune and visit this blog frequently for updates!
It’s been very slow in terms of affiliate sales for the pass months but that’s to be expected in summer time. The summer months is one of two major slowdowns when it comes to making money on the internet. The other is during the Winter/Christmas season. Hope things to pick up in the beginning of September, so take a look at getting your site optimized (if you PIPS) and prepare for the upcoming change in seasons. No matter when your busy time is, the truth is putting off optimization is never a good idea.
Happy SFI!
