Video Marketing & Interviews

8. Video Marketing
Video sites have quickly become some of the most highly
trafficked sites on the Internet, making them one of the
best places to generate lots of extra traffic.

And don't worry, your video doesn't have to be a Spielberg
classic. In fact, it can just be a PowerPoint presentation
with audio. Even simple videos can drive thousands of visitors
to your site.

Once you've created your video, you can then submit it to the
top video submission sites with a tool called TubeMogul.

Interviews are another great way to generate traffic.
When you interview a fellow blogger, they will almost always
publish a link to the interview on their blog. At the same time,
you are also sending traffic to their website by posting the
interview on your blog.

This can be a very effective technique for generating traffic
and meeting new bloggers. Unfortunately, most people are just
afraid to ask.

Traffic from Forums

7. Forum Marketing

Forums are another way to drive targeted visitors to your website.
The key to getting quality traffic from forums is to find a forum
that is highly targeted to your website, become involved in the
community, and create a benefit-laden signature.

You can put a link back to your website in your signature. It's
critical that you use your signature to provide something of
extreme value along with a good call-to-action. Otherwise, why
would anybody click?

The biggest benefit of marketing in forums is that they are centered
around a very tight group of people who are all interested in the
same subject. This is essentially a community of raving fans for a
particular topic, making them extremely targeted prospects.

Forums are also an excellent way to connect with other bloggers,
meet other marketers, and gain insights into your market.

Article: Top Search Engine Marketing Tools

Greetings,
I found this article full of useful information... check it out at

Search Engine Tools

More Traffic

6. Ustream

Ustream allows you to create your very own tv station on the Web.
However, it's better than TV because it's a live, interactive
experience. While you're broadcasting the video, you're also
getting feedback from the live chatroom.

Ustream gives your business a human face and a real personality.
This is extremely valuable, because people like to buy and interact
with people, not impersonal companies.

Live video allows you to reach entirely new audiences and develop
a much greater level of engagement. A deeper level of engagement
almost equates to a higher conversion rate when done correctly.

It's also an excellent way to get feedback from your audience.

Traffic and Bookmarking sites

5. Submit your blog posts to social bookmarking sites

Social Bookmarking is one of the easiest ways to get extra
traffic and links coming into your blog. Social bookmarking
allows Internet users to save and organize bookmarks to a
public website, tag them with keywords, share them with others,
and browse what others have bookmarked.

Delicious, Mixx, and Digg are just a few of the social
bookmarking sites you can use to maximize your exposure.

You can do a semi-automated submission to over 50 social
bookmarking sites at AutoPoster.You can also
encourage your blog readers to bookmark your posts as well
with a Wordpress plugin called ShareThis

Drive Massive Traffic to Your Website

Greetings...each day I will add a new approach to achieve traffic

1. Article Marketing

One of the best ways to drive targeted traffíc to your website is
through the use of article marketing. This is one of the oldest
techniques for generating traffic, but it's still one of the best.
Once you have written your article, you can then submít it to some
of the top article directories like EzineArticles, GoArticles,
Buzzle, the American Chronicle, ArticlesBase, and SearchWarp.
For a listing of the top article directories online, go to...

MasonWorld.com

You can also publish your website to Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo,
HubPages, Zimbio, and Gather.com.

For a complete listing of Web 2.0 sites, go to...
Web 2.0 Directory

Article marketing is even more powerful when you submit exclusive
articles to bloggers and owners of newsletters. This technique has
sent me thousands of visitors with a single article. The key is to
find the right distribution outlets.

Just imagine if you spend just one hour each day writing and
distributing one article. In three months you would have 100
articles all sending you traffic on a daily basis.

So get out there and start syndicating your articles, submitting
guests posts, and writing for online newsletters.

Analyzing Website Traffic

Analyzing your web traffic statistics can be an invaluable
tool for a number of different reasons. But before you can
make full use of this tool, you need to understand how to
interpret the data.

Most web hosting companies will provide you with basic web
traffic information that you then have to interpret and
make pertinent use of. However, the data you receive from
your host company can be overwhelming if you don't
understand how to apply it to your particular business and
website. Let's start by examining the most basic data - the
average visitors to your site on a daily, weekly, and
monthly basis.

These figures are the most accurate measure of your
website's activity. It would appear on the surface that the
more traffic you see recorded, the better you can assume
your website is doing, but this is an inaccurate
perception. You must also look at the behavior of your
visitors once they come to your website to accurately gauge
the effectiveness of your site.

There is often a great misconception about what is commonly
known as "hits" and what is really effective, quality
traffic to your site. Hits simply means the number of
information requests received by the server. If you think
about the fact that a hit can simply equate to the number
of graphics per page, you will get an idea of how overblown
the concept of hits can be. For example, if your homepage
has 15 graphics on it, the server records this as 15 hits,
when in reality we are talking about a single visitor
checking out a single page on your site. As you can see,
hits are not useful in analyzing your website traffic.

The more visitors that come to your website, the more
accurate your interpretation will become. The greater the
traffic is to your website, the more precise your analysis
will be of overall trends in visitor behavior. The smaller
the number of visitors, the more a few anomalous visitors
can distort the analysis.

The aim is to use the web traffic statistics to figure out
how well or how poorly your site is working for your
visitors. One way to determine this is to find out how long
on average your visitors spend on your site. If the time
spent is relatively brief, it usually indicates an
underlying problem. Then the challenge is to figure out
what that problem is.

It could be that your keywords are directing the wrong type
of visitors to your website, or that your graphics are
confusing or intimidating, causing the visitor to exit
rapidly. Use the knowledge of how much time visitors are
spending on your site to pinpoint specific problems, and
after you fix those problems, continue to use time spent as
a gauge of how effective your fix has been.

Additionally, web traffic stats can help you determine
effective and ineffective areas of your website. If you
have a page that you believe is important, but visitors are
exiting it rapidly, that page needs attention. You could,
for example, consider improving the link to this page by
making the link more noticeable and enticing, or you could
improve the look of the page or the ease that your visitors
can access the necessary information on that page.

If, on the other hand, you notice that visitors are
spending a lot of time on pages that you think are less
important, you might consider moving some of your sales
copy and marketing focus to that particular page.

As you can see, these statistics will reveal vital
information about the effectiveness of individual pages,
and visitor habits and motivation. This is essential
information to any successful Internet marketing campaign.

Your website undoubtedly has exit pages, such as a final
order or contact form. This is a page you can expect your
visitor to exit rapidly. However, not every visitor to your
site is going to find exactly what he or she is looking
for, so statistics may show you a number of different exit
pages. This is normal unless you notice a exit trend on a
particular page that is not intended as an exit page. In
the case that a significant percentage of visitors are
exiting your website on a page not designed for that
purpose, you must closely examine that particular page to
discern what the problem is. Once you pinpoint potential
weaknesses on that page, minor modifications in content or
graphic may have a significant impact on the keeping
visitors moving through your site instead of exiting at the
wrong page.

After you have analyzed your visitor statistics, it's time
to turn to your keywords and phrases. Notice if particular
keywords are directing a specific type of visitor to your
site. The more targeted the visitor - meaning that they
find what they are looking for on your site, and even
better, fill out your contact form or make a purchase - the
more valuable that keyword is.

However, if you find a large number of visitors are being
directed - or should I say misdirected - to your site by a
particular keyword or phrase, that keyword demands
adjustment. Keywords are vital to bringing quality visitors
to your site who are ready to do business with you. Close
analysis of the keywords your visitors are using to find
your site will give you a vital understanding of your
visitor's needs and motivations.

Finally, if you notice that users are finding your website
by typing in your company name, break open the champagne!
It means you have achieved a significant level of brand
recognition, and this is a sure sign of burgeoning success.

Review – Affiliate Junktion

By: Elizabeth Voges

Affiliate Junktion is now recruiting new affiliates to join the Affiliate
Junktion Program. Affiliate Junktion, a global leader in providing internet
marketing and affiliate marketing services online, is now recruiting new
affiliates to join the Affiliate Junktion Program. It is completely Free to join,
with 1-on-1 personal online support from your very own dedicated Affiliate
Manager.

When you join the Affiliate Junktion Program you can expect quality results,
superior personal support and an ongoing income online through our
performance-based program. We set a high industry standard for program
quality and provide the most sophisticated tools. Affiliate Junktion operates
the only truly global affiliate marketing program where you are guaranteed
to earn money.

The earning potential is great as well...take note of their guarantee of
payment if you do not achieve daily income.

Here is a review of Gitte Dabek who joined the program a bit longer than me:
I have tested a new program for you. It is called Affiliate Junktion, and it is
all about affiliate marketing.

Affiliate Marketing, selling other people’s products is indeed a great way to
make money online and the only way for a newcomer. But usually you have
to sell a membership or a product to earn commissions. Affiliate Junktion
offers another way: pay per lead. That is to say, you will earn commissions
by convincing people to sign up for free. So this program is not sales-based,
but performance-based and it is much easier to convince people to sign up
for free than convincing them to open their wallet and buy something.

After signing up every new affiliate will get his own affiliate website
customized with his affiliate link and will be able to start right away. If he
signs up for hosting, buys anything you don’t have to care about – you will be
paid just because your referral signed up fro free.

And that’s the deal Michael Davies,the CEO of Affiliate Junktion is
proposing: “You will start earning within 5 days or we will pay you $50 in
cash for each day you are on our program”.

Okay that sounds a bit like the everyday hype you find on the Internet, but if
you check the Terms and Conditions, you will see, that this promise will
come true.

There is a simple reason, why you can expect some serious earnings with
this Affiliate Marketing Program, even if you never made money online:

You don’t have to sell a paid membership or hosting for making money with your
referrals, all you have to do is to get them to sign up for free. So Affiliate
Junktion is a pay per lead system, paying you $1 to $3 for every person
signing up for free under you. Because the website converts well and signup
is free, you can expect a very high conversion rate about up to 70%. Michael
Davies tells about conversion rates of 70-85%. Well I would not go that high
but I think the Average Joe really can reach a conversion rate of nearly 70%
or more.

The program gives you a very easy to understand Fast Track Guide on the
hand and lists some basic steps about how to start driving traffic to your
affiliate site. The 1-on-1 personal support is a great help and your affiliate
manager will be very friendly and helpful - I tested the system.
The only thing I am missing is more promotional tools. As this program is
dedicated to newcomers and to people who never made money online, there
could be some more professional designed material, some emails people
could modify, keyword lists and ppc ads as a working base fort he
inexperienced.

Putting all together and weighing it, I have to rate Affiliate Junktion as a
great program. I can give my fully recommendation because:

* It is free to join,
* It is easy to work with,
* It needs no more work than 3-5 hours a week,
* It makes you easy money on a pay per lead base,
* You are guaranteed to earn money within just 5 days.

Read My Review

Affiliate Junktion Revealed

I was looking for a legit way to earn money online, but after a few disappointing purchases... you know what kind of programs I'm talking about, the programs that tell of making thousands each day - when in fact it is BS. They just hipe up their product, to make the sale, and when you open their ebook or package, you find all this information can be found easily on the web. If you are interested in making money online, you should read, read and read some more - the web is full of information.

When I came across Affiliate Junktion, and read their pitch, I was genuinely interested. Since I was looking for a program that could be set up easily, and once it was in place you just sit back and watch it make money for you. I figured that Affiliate Junktion could do this for me, and if not, atleast I would have my web page hosting and domain for free, atleast for the first year. They also make the claim that if you dont make $150NZ per day, they will compensate you this for up to 90 days. Although you do have to try and make an effort.

At this point, I was already ahead of the game...nothing to lose -right?
Well, firstly, all their payments are made in New Zealand dollars. What does this mean? As of today, 1 NZ$ = .68 US$ so with advertising with google, and paying US$ to advertise, you must watch your converstions closely.
SEO (search engine optimization) is a whole ballgame in itself, but there is alot of good reading on the subject, and you will find it useful in your endevours. Remember...read,read,read!!

Affiliate Junktion includes many tools to help you set this up, along with free advertising credits with Google and Yahoo UK. Also included are tools to help get your website going... so you can attract visitors and potential leads.
They have your page already made in a box, you just upload it via FTP. This is another great aspect of this package, a pre made website. You can add more things to this site to help expand your online endevours. Or just leave it as is, but why not try to make extra money? You will have visitors, and they will see your other efforts. Change is good, out of the norm -you know? Imagine all the other affiliate who just leave their AJ page as is, 1000s of pages all the same!

Now the other thing, hosting my domain. Affiliate Junktion gives you the website, its only 1 page, but you have to host it somewhere. If you dont host it through their program with iPower, you don't get the 75$ NZ credit, or the free Google advertising. This is ok too, because iPower is a great hosting company with a great support team.

When you sign up with Affiliate Junktion, you will get a credit code you can use with Yahoo! Research Marketing. If you directly sign up with Yahoo! you don't get the credit, but signing up in this program, you get a credit code worth 50 British Pounds Sterling. That is much more than the $50 US. Signing up with Google Adwords you get $30 US. The credit code is given to you by iPower, after signing up with them. With these credits, you have the ability to test for a short time, with no risk, no costs.

The Affiliate Junktion earning system works like this:
With a conversion rate set at 50% (rates vary) and if you're getting 100 visitors each day, thats 50 leads. 50 leads x $2 NZ = $100 NZ in commissions per day. Commissions increase over time as your website grows. You will earn $2 NZ for each lead and work up to $5 NZ. All commission payments are paid out on a monthly basis. Affiliates receive their payments via Paypal, check or wire transfer.

Now just recently added to Affiliate Junktion, real time confirmed leads!
What does this mean? Well remember when you have to sign up to iPower to get your Google credits, this also is your final step in confirming your acceptance into Affiliate Junktion -and the point where you provided your affiliate host with a confirmed lead.

Can you be a confirmed lead for me?
Does this sound like a program for you?
Have questions about the program?
Email me: dime4pivo@yahoo.com

You can check out my AJ page, and sign up from there
davikbrewing

or a direct link
Affiliate Junktion

In conclusion, Affiliate Junktion is basically an affiliate program for a great web hosting company. And if you dont find AJ is for you, you still have an almost free website for 1 year. So sign up, try it out and make some money.
Have fun and read all you can about the various aspects - You can do it!!
