Money making website
How do you make your website make money?
The answer is simple. Have lots of visitors!
Driving traffic to your website is the number one priority of every internet marketeer and it is a constant challenge.
Action is the key. Nothing happens without you making it happen.
You can optimise your website for the top search engines and hope for 'organic traffic'. Make it rich in unique content, (keyword optimised, of course) and have lots of inward bound links from good sources.
Pay Per Click
You can invest in a PPC (Pay Per Click) campaign. There is no doubt that if you get it right PPC can drive hordes of pre-sold visitors, already interested in what you're offering, straight to your site. The key is to have good ads optimised for keywords that are not too expensive. It's worth experimenting with Google's 'Adwords' PPC feature, but you need to be very careful. Trial and testing, and more trial and testing is the way to go... it is very easy to lose big money if you get your campaign wrong. So before you commit to a large budget test your ads and their click through and conversion rates to determine the maximum amount you can pay for each click and still make a profit.
Article Marketing
One of the best proven ways to drive traffic to your website is by article marketing. It's simple. You write articles of 300 – 500 words on subjects related to whatever it is you're offering on your site. You upload those articles to any number of the many Article Directories available on the internet and include a 'resource box' at the bottom of the article that includes an URL link to your website. Readers who like what you've written and want to learn more can become visitors by clicking through the link.
Autoresponder
Once your visitors have arrived, capture their details. Get as many names and email addresses as you can. This is vital to making your website profitable. Autoresponders like Aweber and GetResponse give you the facility to create opt-in boxes that will capture this information, you can then develop a relationship with your visitors and turn them into happy customers by providing whatever it is they need.
