So let’s say you have 11 days to maximize and explode the traffic to your website. How should you approach this feat as an online marketer within 11 days?

Let’s assume that you are a fresh newbie marketer and you haven’t attempted any online marketing yet. You do not even have an email list that you can market to and you only have $500 dollars to spend in advertising.

Now where should you begin?

Before I mention anything dealing with traffic generation, you need to first have your own website that contains a special lead capture page known as a name squeeze page. A name squeeze page is highly important for generating long term maximized website traffic due to the power of generating what I call recyclable website visitors.

An intelligent marketer knows the importance of recycling website traffic by collecting email subscribers. Any well established marketer knows that once you capture prospects information online, then you can send that very same prospect to as many websites as you want. Rather than waste the visitor to their website, they capture the visitor via a squeeze page. This lead capturing method is the master key if you want to maximize website traffic for your particular internet business.

This lead generation method that will maximize your website traffic is explained in more detail at the page below.

In order for you to maximize website traffic, it is imperative that your traffic generation strategy involves the combination of multiple traffic streams. In order to sustain a very consistent stream of targeted traffic, you must diversify your portfolio of traffic generation methods so that you want receive a terrible hit to your business if one of your site promotion methods fail.

Therefore, I decided to list just a few of my best traffic generation methods. If you want to maximize web traffic in a week and a half, then you must utilize all of these methods and spend at least 30 minutes a day on each method.

1. Write a report and distribute it through viral mechanisms

In other words, write a free report and allow others to pass this report along to their friends and colleagues. You must have a special offer or compensation plan for anyone who decides to giveaway your report. How you compensate the referral will determine the long term success of your viral campaign.

Just write your report and spend 30 minutes every day contacting potential website partners to see if they would be willing to distribute your free report.

2. Start writing and submitting at least 3 articles every single day.

This is probably the most tedious process, but if your time is precious, you can just outsource this work. Otherwise, just write 3 informative articles per day and submit these articles to EzineArticles.com. This whole process may take up an hour per day to do, instead of the previously mentioned 30 minutes per method.

3. Write a Press Release and submit it through PRweb.com

4. Start a PPC campaign using Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Just continue to add an extra ad group or set of keywords to each of the campaigns that you set up via these ppc networks. Do this for 30 minutes per day.

Now these are 4 steps that I attempt to do in order to maximize my website traffic. If you commit to at least 30 minutes every single day to steps 1, 2, and 4, you should see a lot of responsive traffic in 11 days. Just stick with the plan and you will not fail.

No matter if your website is an informational one or if it’s an online store to sell your products, you want people to come and visit it. Without visitors your information remains unknown and your products remain unsold. A great deal of the web traffic you get is driven by the three major search engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN, so it’s obvious that it is desired to have your website coming up in the search engine results pages (SERP). SEO, short for Search Engine Optimization is a collection of techniques and practices that will make your website show up in the first page(s) of organic SERP.

Now that you know what SEO is and why is needed, to better understand SEO you need to have an idea about how the search engines work. A search engine is a huge database of indexed web pages that users can query and get relevant results. So, a search engine needs to:

1. Crawl and Index Web Sites. Through automated scripts called robots or spiders, the search engines crawl through the Internet finding websites and web pages by following links and jumping from page to page and from website to website. Once a web page is crawled, its content is indexed into the search engine’s huge database.

2. Return Ranked Results. When a search query is made, the search engine’s algorithm finds out the pages in the database related to that query and returns the results sorted from the most relevant to the least.

Seeing how the search engines work, it is clear now that SEO will focus on the terms and phrases that users type into the search box and how to make your web pages relevant for those terms and phrases. But, because the Internet has become such a commercial place, the search engines have learned that they cannot rely only on websites to be honest about their web pages content. That’s why SEO needs to focus also on another factor used in ranking search results: popularity. Your web site is popular if others link to it. The more important the website that links to your website is, the “stronger” the link. A well-known system for ranking web pages is Google’s PageRank algorithm:

“PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.” Using these and other factors, Google provides its views on pages’ relative importance.”

So, to summarize, SEO is about building relevant web pages (Internal SEO) and making them popular (External SEO).

How many ways can you get free web site traffic? Who knows, but here are some to get you started. Hopefully there will be one or two ways here that you haven’t yet tried.

1. Submit your web site to search engines. Don’t wait for them to find you. You can automatically submit to 20 at freewebsubmission.com. You’ll have to submit manually to Google (www.google.com/addurl.html).

2. Directories. Do a search for niche directories for the topic of your website. Just type in “directory + online games,” or whatever your site is about. There are also many general directories that accept submissions for free. The primary value of directories is not direct traffic, however. It is the links that help your ranking (and therefore traffic) with the search engines.

3. Forums. A great source of traffic for some sites. Talk about things of interest to you, and get free traffic to your web site (always sign off with a link). You may want to link to subscription pages for newsletters or e-courses you offer, to get maximum repeat visits from the traffic.

4. Free classifieds. There are many places that you can advertise for free, although few of them seem to be of any value. Test a little, and go with the ones that deliver.

5. Exchange Links. Exchanging links with other web sites can get you free traffic in two ways: traffic from the site, and traffic from the search engines, because the link helps your ranking with them.

7. Give testimonials. Do you love an e-book or other online product? Tell the author, and let her know she can use your testimonial. Mention that you’d appreciate it if she left the link to your site (under your name) active. Good testimonials are valuable, and you’ve probably seen them with a name and link attached.

8. Write articles. A great way to generate free web site traffic. In fact, thats what this article is about, and I have to tell you that there are at least ten more ways to get free traffic in my newsletter. You may want to visit the site and sign up.

When I wrote my first three articles, I was almost insanely pleased with myself. Having wanted to be a writer ever since I could hold a pen, the thought of having some of my own written work out in the world being read by other people was a huge achievement for me.

But that was just the problem; I was so wrapped up in how wonderful I thought my precious babies were that I was upset when for the next three weeks I saw no appreciable activity from them. My site gained no new visitors and my articles garnered no comments from enthusiastic readers. It hurt! I thought that I had done something wrong.

My expectations were dashed and I painfully learned the true reality of article marketing. It is a business. If you are going to use articles as one of the pillars of your web traffic sourcing, then it’s time to get realistic.

Here are the three things you should know to avoid the same disappointment.

They are not your children. An article is a collection of words about a subject. True, they have a life of their own; they go round the world and end up in some unusual places but they have sprung from your brains, not your loins. Never take it personally if no one praises them; it is not important. If no one picks them up and publishes them; it is an indication that you need to look at your style, your structure or your article length, not ask yourself searching questions about why life is so unfair. If someone criticizes them; it is only feedback to help you write better in future You can always make more. Unlike children, articles are dispensable, disposable and dismissible commodities. You should see yourself as a mass production factory, not a bespoke craftsman. If one of your articles turns out to be a useless runt, it is not a reason for despair; just make another one. If one of them misses your point, scans badly and reads unclearly; simply fix the production line. There is no need to knock down the factory. Your articles are tools; let them go. They have a job to do, which is to represent your chosen place in your chosen niche. Their simple task is to stand by the wall, fluttering their eyelashes till a handsome e-zine comes along and proposes a partnership. After that all their only role is to continue being attractive and whispering to other admirers “I’m taken, but I have a whole bunch of pretty sisters back home, why don’t you go and visit them?” and they send you a stream of expectant visitors.

So next time you find yourself welling up as you wave your little article goodbye, remember these three realities and tell yourself to stop being emotionally attached to your articles. Let them go and do their wonderful work.
