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 
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,

Did you know that Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short is not a secret language that only nerds know and exploit it to make thousands of dollars from needy marketers who can’t comprehend the importance of page rank? The real deal is, there really are no SEO secrets just search engine optimization best practices and once you understand the fundamentals of optimizing a blog or website you can open up new avenues of traffic and search engine ranking that will improve your results and put a smile on your face.
To be serious for a moment a complete newbie can become quite overcome when even attempting to think about SEO but keep reading and I will explain how you can change all the frustration and turn it into jubilation. Proper blog and website optimization and backlinks is really what you need to learn and one of my favorite resources comes from StomperNet
One of the first things to do is to test the functionality of your blog or website to see how search engine friendly it is. You will need to check for things like keywords, HTML code, and what is contained in your meta tags.
If you apply sensible strategies on a regular basis then your rankings will begin to rise.
Here are some basic SEO Marketing Strategies:
* When you build a website or blog consider the target market you wish to address. Your audience will dictate how your website promotes your particular product or service. Additionally your keywords will influence this as well.
* Use relevant keywords that will apply to your target audience. Keywords should be focused and laser targeted, instead of broad. Broad keywords are very competitive and you dont want to be competing with a ton of other webmasters who will have more established sites and therefore always outrank you.
* Next, analyze what your competition is doing. Check to find out who is ranked the highest and how they got achieved such high rankings. Research to see what keywords they are using by looking at the page source of their site.
* Check things such as meta tags and titles. Your main keywords must be listed in both of these areas. Article titles need to contain your main keyword and the content itself should at least use it and a variation of this keyword or phrase throughout the article.
Additonally, if you create links back to your blog or website this will greatly enhance your ranking position on the search engines. One way links are a great way of doing this even if you don’t receive links back from another site.
My highest recomendation is to click on the banner above and start learning SEO for yourself.
