Where can I get reliable targeted traffic to my online store? And I mean, RELIABLE and TARGETED! It has to come from sites that are related to shopping or sites that will provide me with clicks that will lead to good sales conversions. Thanks.
The first thing you need to do is learn Internet Marketing basics. There is no magic button out there for you to push that will get you traffic of any kind. If you want targeted traffic, you will simply need to learn how to generate it yourself. Article marketing is one good way to get targeted traffic to your site. It is free. Then there is PPC. You can drive an unlimited amount of traffic to your site. The only limitation there is your bank account.
zeekstern is correct. There is no magic button but there is a great deal to learn. There are hundreds of different ways to market online. Pick 2-3, master them and you should do very well. What you don't have the talent or time to do yourself, outsource to people who do. It doesn't have to cost a fortune if you learn where to find outsourcers and it will free up your time to take care of your customers. And, this should help you a great deal despite what avenue of marketing you take. There are two types of searchers and they use different types of keywords when searching. The two types are: 1) people who are looking for information, and 2) people who have already decided what they want (buyers). These two types of searchers, search for differenct types of keywords. An information seeker, for example, might type in "laptop computers." A buyer, on the other hand, will type in something like "dell latitude d800 with wireless" (I know that's an old one!). In fact, they might even be much more specific than that. How much traffic you get is not nearly as important as how targeted it is. Go for the 'buy keywords' not the 'info seeking keywords' every time and you'll make sales.
There are plenty of traffics delivery services but I would recommend you sit back and think it through first. Most of this kind of services come with cheap and a guarantee of targeted, yet reliable. I would say most of them are not really targeted from my experienced. Even those services are cheap, but still a waste anyway. Bottom Line : I would recommend you find another way for the traffics and avoid this kind.
postly, What is your store about? Usually there are few options, you can think about both paid and free advertisement. Google adword and adsense are typical paid advertising and they are mostly likely well targeted, unless you pick the wrong keyword. Free advertising may include link exchange and promoting on social media site like facebook and twitter. Think about what the customers want and use different advertising channels accordingly, some may work well for a particular type of product but not the other.. But again you really need to study and experiment a lot all these techniques before you see the actual result. There is no magic formula. Good luck.
