Using Forums to Build Website Traffic

One of the greatest things that can happen to us when we are a website owner is for us to be flooded with a continual stream of traffic.  Unfortunately, that can be a difficult thing to accomplish and many of us may spend a large amount of time trying to get that traffic to visit us without much success.  Perhaps we are focusing on difficult to obtain positions in the search engines for keywords that are over saturated with competition.  You can really step outside of the keyword research for a little while and build some traffic to your website with the use of forums.

If you are going to build some traffic with signature links in forums, there are some things that you need to know before hand.  First of all, you need to understand forum etiquette so that you do not offend those that you are trying to get to visit your website before they ever have the opportunity to click the link.  Forums tend to be rather tight communities and they don't take well to individuals coming in and blasting out of marketing message.  They do, however, enjoy it when people add to the conversation and do so in an intelligent way.  If you have a website on a particular subject then you should try speaking intelligently about that subject in the forum, perhaps offering free information.  If you do so, people will naturally want to visit your website to see what else you have to say.  This can lead to a lot of repeat visitors and regular readers.

You also need to make sure that you are marketing to the right people.  You can't go into a form that is about dogs and begin marketing on how to make money and expect to have all that much response.  You need to make sure that the forum that you are visiting is directly related to whatever it is that you are offering.  You can find these forums in a variety of different ways but two of my personal favorites are as follows.  First, you can go to one of the forum directories that are online because the forums that are listed are generally categorized.  If you use this method, you may be missing some forums because not all of them are listed in these directories.  In that instance, you can go to Google and type in a keyword that is directly related to what you're offering and then type the word forum after it.  This should pull up plenty of results for you to choose from.

Forum marketing can certainly bring a lot of visitors to your website if it is done in a proper way.  Just make sure that the forum you're marketing to is busy enough to make it worth your efforts.  Everybody loves to talk about a subject that they are interested in and if you can add some interesting information to the topic, you would be surprised with the number of people that will listen to what you have to say.

Baiting for Links

 Search engine optimization is something that has been around for quite some time but it is a constantly changing environment.  Whenever the Internet was still new, people would exchange links with each other in a one-to-one fashion and the search engines would gobble them up.  Not only that, it was possible for you to rank highly for some very competitive keywords just by exchanging links with other websites.  At that particular time, it really didn’t matter who you were exchanging links with or how many links you exchanged, it was more of a free-for-all than anything else.

How to Maximize Your Adsense Income

There are so many different ways that you can make money on the Internet but some of them take more effort than others.  For example, you can join an affiliate program and drive traffic to that program in order to make sales.  A single sale from a decent paying affiliate program can put $15-$30 in your pocket or more.  The difficult part about using an affiliate program is the fact that you're going to have to convince these individuals that it is something that they absolutely cannot live without.  Many people forgo the difficulties of selling through an affiliate program and simply use Google Adsense.

This particular Google program is not only good for those who want to look for long-term income from links, it also works very well for individuals who are just starting out in their Internet marketing efforts.  Many of them are surprised to see the number of individuals that click on their links and deposit change into their Adsense account.  For others, however, they may struggle even to get a single click.  What makes the difference between these two different people in that one does well and the other one doesn't?  As they say, it's all in the presentation.

There are several different ways that you can maximize your Adsense income.  One of the easiest ways is by positioning it properly and making sure that it looks well on your website.  The most common Adsense ad that works very well is the large rectangle.  Use this exclusively on your article pages and make it blend into the page as if it were just common links.  You do this by using the same background color on the ad that is on your page.  Make sure that you leave the links below and insert it at the right spot and you will see a dramatic increase in your clicks and your income.

Positioning the ad on your site is also very important.  You can't expect somebody to click on an ad that is in some obscure corner of your page.  If you really want to maximize your Adsense income, put it above the fold so that they don't have to scroll down in order to see the links.  By using a combination of the large rectangle that blends in with your page and putting it at the very top, you would be surprised at the number of clicks that you can actually get.  I have some pages that regularly get over 50% click through rate by using these methods.

So, if you have a new webpage or an established one and you want to earn a little bit of extra money, Google Adsense can certainly help you in this regard.  Not only can they put some money in your pocket, they may be able to earn you enough to make it a full-time income.  Knowing the secrets about positioning and type of Google Adsense ads, however, is the first step in becoming successful.

How to Promote Your Viral E-Books

E-books have become a household word, a new way for us to gain information and an excellent resource that we, as Internet marketers can use to drive traffic to your website.  E-books do not have to be all about information for sale, they can also add a viral element to our website which will drive massive amounts of traffic in our direction.  The first step is coming up with an e-book idea which will be of benefit to your particular audience.  Once you have this in place, however, it's all a matter of finding the right way to promote the e-book in order to start the viral effect.  Here are three different ways to promote your e-book to your target audience.

Forum Marketing - One of the easiest ways to gain targeted traffic is by promoting it through the use of an online forum.  There are thousands of forms out there on just as many subjects and if you find one that fits in well with what you have to offer, you can literally have a gold mine of potential visitors.  Does that mean, however, that you can simply enter into the forum and begin blasting out your message to everyone that is reading?  Of course not, and by doing this you will not only be losing your reputation, you will be losing your place on the forum in a very big hurry.  What you need to do is to add good information to the forum and to leave a link to your free e-book in your signature.  You would be surprised with the number of people who will actually follow through that link in order to see what you have to offer.

JV Giveaways - A relative newcomer to the scene are the JV giveaway websites that have been popping up around the Internet lately.  This is also a great way to start a viral marketing e-book campaign.  Many people use these giveaways in order to get subscribers to their list but it is also possible for you to give your e-book away for free, without the need for people to sign up for a list.  This is an excellent way for you to start a stampede of traffic to your website that will download your e-book because that is exactly what they want to do.  If you did your job of providing them with good information in the e-book, they will reward you by passing it on to their friends.

Other Viral Methods - Don't overlook the possibility of using other viral marketing methods in order to promote your viral e-book.  Things such as online videos and controversial blog posts are a great way for you to get the ball rolling, so to speak, when it comes to your viral marketing campaign.  If you do a good job with these other viral techniques, you can actually compound the amount of traffic that you will eventually receive from the e-book itself.
