There isn't a 'best way' definitively speaking. There are several ways. Try a few of them and see which ones best suit you. Which ways are working for you at the moment? Do more of those. 'Traffic' is a huge subject. Look into *SEO *Content Directories *Social Marketing *Social Bookmarking *Blog Commenting *Directory Submissions *Feed Aggregation *Related Forums And so on. Dean
Yes, it's different. I am referring to article directories ( ezinearticles.com is the #1 repository ). Dean
If you're looking for traffic to an Adsense site, the only traffic you should be worried about is organic search traffic. You get this by SEO optimizing your pages and building links to all the pages in your site to get them ranked high in the SERPS. Other types of traffic such as Social Media traffic will give you low paying clicks and could possibly bring down your 'price per click' across your network due to SmartPricing. Social Media traffic will also give you a lot of impressions with few clicks, which brings down your CTR. This can also land you in SmartPricing. TxDon
TXDon is right. The reason for this is that organic traffic from the search engines is highly targeted so it's a quality lead that converts a whole lot better for the advertiser. Chasing social traffic is not the way to play things with Adsense. You will witness a rush of traffic and no conversions. He's also right that the clicks will be lower paying. Social bookmarking okay for initial indexing purposes. Dean
Actually that is not quite correct. Organic traffic drives research mind visitors. Those who are looking to learn about something. These people typically do not want to purchase anything or leave any information. Paid search marketing will often drive targeted buying consumers to your site.
Thanks for correcting me, but I disagree with what you are saying. You are saying organic search traffic does not have people looking to buy. To a large degree it depends what keywords you are targetting. Many searchers have a problem or a question and are looking for a solution. Search visitors are actually very likely to do something so they are a quality lead. Dean
No, I never said that. What I said was, organic drives research minded visitors, typically those looking for information. (Solve a problem / find an answer as you noted) The ones who purchase on occasion would not be typical. They would be the exception to the rule. I followed that with Paid search will often (not always but more often than with organic searchers) send a more "buy" mind visitor. A reason this happens is over the year with the spam and amount of sites that talk about a product or service but where you could not buy what you wanted, were clogging the organic SERPs. Consumers soon learned that by clicking the paid ads.... they got rid of junk sites such as those often found in organic SERP... and could buy what they wanted in less than 30 seconds... leaving plenty of time to shop while at work and not get caught
Try to learn about SEO and implement the same to get handful of traffic. All the above answers are really fulfill your requirement. The main thing is content of your website. Original content is king of kings.
You have to submit your website to link directories. you can also try Article Marketing, blog comments, social marketing. they help you to get good traffic.
@sem-advance - I say get the organic results and also gear up with PPC if the ROI is there. Either way, as far as Adsense is concerned, search visitors still rock the party Dean
There are lots of ways to get traffic... The easiest is paying for it. Everyone here has laid out a pretty good outline of how you should start.
The best way is to make a site that brings value to a topic that is of interest to the general public. Then you get your site in front of people - that's the MARKETING part. Everyone thinks they need/want traffic. But the bottom line is traffic is really PEOPLE. So you have to ask yourself "why would someone visit my site" and "what can I offer them". Until you can do that traffic doesn't matter at all.
