Hey there,
I am now ready to start trying to get traffic to my site,I know one of the hardest things to do,here are a few ways I found online to drive traffic to your site. I am going to try them out tonite and the next few weeks and let you know how they seemed to work,til then here they are...............


Paid Banner (CPM + CPC) and Paid Text-


Banner ads you can pay for as CPC(cost per click) or CPM(cost per every thousand times banner is displayed) usually placed in a high traffic area on a site that causes visitors of that site to see it and visit your site.


Paid Text advertising is similar only the ad is in the form of a text link usually off to the sides (or at the top in search engines like Yahoo! And Google) If you are going to use this kind of advertising make sure you pick the sites you place your ads on carefully (popular sites will be expensive but you should get more clicks and smaller sites will be cheaper, but often with little or no results)


E-mail lists �


Programs or services that will get your link out to many different internet users. These can be good if you have a very widely used type of product. The negative to these lists is that with new e-mail features often these types of messages get marked as spam and are disregarded by the intended recipient.


Free Traffic Generators �


Traffic generators like Traffic Swarm can be a great way of just getting people to go to your site. There are some that you can pay for that will guarantee you a certain number of visitors for a set price. Problem is that most of the people that are now visiting your site aren't really interested in your product or service. You might get one or two sales from extremely impulsive buyers but the rest only visit to earn credits or something of the sort from the home site. If you're going to rely on this type of advertising make sure your visitor/buyer ratio is already high for your site.


Link Exchange �


This is by far the best way of driving quality traffic to your site.. if you do it right! Before you even THINK about trying to exchange links with other sites there's a few things you should know...


1. Download the Google toolbar � This way you will be able to tell the page rank of any pages you want to exchange links with (higher the PR the higher in the search ranking which means more traffic)


2. Exchange links with only pages of PR 4 or higher. It will help your page more by having a few PR4+ pages linking to you than 10000 pages with no page rank.


3. Build your content FIRST! Don't expect E-Bay to display your link just because you asked them nicely! Webmasters want to know they are linking to a quality site with a good amount of substance. Focus on building your site before you ask people to link to it.


4. Try to exchange links with other sites that have the same key words as yours. Ie: There's no reason to exchange links with a flower web site if you sell telephone service

Hope some of these work for you if your trying to drive traffic to your wensite.

picking my affiliates

Hey there,
I've been working my butt off on this site lol.... Now I am gonna venture off into another direction,I'm going to pick two of my own affiliate programs listed & start promoting them,I haven't done this in years.The first time I tried it was 4 yrs ago,I used adult friend finder and I did make some decent money,I always wonder why I stopped anyways,I am gonna try it again with 2 new products & see how it goes. I will keep you updated as to what I choose & how it went. If anyone is following along don't worry I will continue to add new affiliate programs here as I find them.
