A New Direction for The Marketing Professional

by TheMarketingProfessional

My blogging activity has taken a bit of a dive so to speak because I have found a new passion that I like and is challenging all at the same time.

It’s Search Engine Optimization however I consult to a very demanding niche of traffic experts.

I first began with my own traffic generating site which I do allot of my Click Thru Marketing from, it’s called  www.GoneClicking.com 

I also just completed my second site which I consulted on for a fellow traffic expert.  I am not at liberty to discuss this site openly but will be recieving a testimonial for my work very soon.

I enjoy conulting to this nich and look forward to a rewarding stint as the go to guy for this competitive group of marketers.

I will post more in the days to come so until then leave me a comment about your SEO exploits or if you need some help let me know that as well.

Always to your success,

Getting Customers to Your New Online Business

by TheMarketingProfessional

Congratulations, you have your website or blog set up and it’s time to start promoting what you have to offer.  You know that in order for your site or blog to be successful you must generate traffic and the more visitors  to your site that you have that means more sales and more money for you and your affiliates.

There are many ways to generate website traffic:

Pay per click is an example of paid traffic method.

But for a new internet marketer with limited budget often paid methods are simply not feasible. So you should think about getting free website traffic.

One of my favorite methods is to use a Click Thru Marketing Service like GoneClicking.com  GoneClicking.com - Drop A Line With The Pros and Start Reeling In Sales Today!

You should also submit your website to directories like: Yahoo, MSN, and Google.  Make sure you submit your site in the correct section of your niche.  Write articles and submit them to article directories with your site link in resource box. When more and more websites publish your articles, you will get as many back links and the visitors of that site may click on the link and come to your site.

Try getting back links from authority sites in your niche.  Back links means that your market place is giving you a vote of acceptance. When authority sites accept you, you will enjoy high rankings in the search engines.

Join forums in your niches and make some valuable comments and use your website link as your signature line. Before doing this make sure you read their rules and that you are allowed to do that otherwise you will be removed from the forum. Another advantage of visiting these forums is that you will know the pulse of your target market.

Once you have visitors at your site or blog make sure you capture their name and email address using an opt in form. There are many types of forms available.  Also keep in mind that a visitor may not buy from you on their first visit. Once you have his or her contact details, you can make offers that may be of interest to them. You can automate this process by using a reputable auto responder.  Currently I am using Aweber.

This has been a basic tutorial to compliment the previous post on article marketing, leave me a comment on what has worked well for you or if you have another marketing related question.

Always to Your Success,
