OK, so you put together your site and you need some visitors, what to do now? Well, there are plenty of different ways to get traffic to your website. Below are 4 hot ways to get traffic.
SEO or Search Engine Optimization
SEO involves getting organic/free traffic to your website from the search engines. SEO starts with your website. The most important aspect of it is on-site SEO. Do that first. Then, get as many backlinks as possible with a variety of related anchor text and you are in business.
CPV or Cost Per View
CPV involves showing ads with links to your website on peoples computers that have adware installed. Adware is software that someone has downloaded to their computer where the fine print should have read “we will hijack your search engine listings and web browser” because each time they run a query on a search engine, or visit a site, your ad could show. As a matter of facts, you can show a Domino’s Gift Certificate offer when they visit dominos.ca!
Pay Per Call
PayPerCall doesn’t really send traffic your site necessarily. When using offline ads, for example, you can specify a unique phone number in the ad. Liken the unique number to an affiliate link. The phone number will be tagged with your affiliate ID, much in the same way we use affiliate links now. If the user buys the product or whatever actions is required, you will get referral commissions.
PPC Method
Another traffic method is paying a search engine to have your ads show up. So, each time someone clicks on your ad, you pay for the click and the surfer ends up on your landing page. This can get rather expensive but don’t fret, there are penny pay per click services available. But of course, the important thing is that you are spending less in total click costs than what you are earnings. Calculate these values after 100 clicks to see how you are doing.
