Traffic Generation – Part 1Filed Under: Archived, My Journey to Success, The Traffic Challenge
Welcome back to my Blog, you are very welcome here and please if you would like to leave a comment or 2 then I would be very grateful, thanks.
Traffic, traffic and more traffic is every Internet Marketer’s dream. There is no point having the greatest product, idea or website if nobody sees it. So where do you start, how do you start, do I pay for it, can I get good quality free traffic. All the questions are there at the beginning of your and my traffic journey. It can make you want to stop and give up almost straight away.
Well the good news if that I have the answer for you. The bad news if that you get nothing for free in this world, but it is not all bad as the cost to you can be your time or if you like a little cash. So what is the answer to driving traffic to your sites. Well for starters you need to have a plan of action, a daily routine to start with which will begin to build the traffic streams back to your site.
So what’s in the plan what do I need to do I hear you ask… well strangely you probably already know most of the techniques, but I bet your not implementing them. I know that is the case for me. It is putting all the little techniques together, grabbing those visitors from lots of differnet places from all over the net.
Ok lets get into the nitty gritty of the techniques, lets start with forums. So how will a forum drive you trafic, well it is easy really, if you go and have a look at warrior forum you will see that there are thousands of post and hundreds and thousands of views for each thread, post etc. All you have to do is start to add value to end thread or post that takes your interest. Leave constructive replies that will leave the reader wanting to know more. So how do they find out more, well simple when you join a forum you can add you signature to the bottom of every reply you leave which then gives the reader the opportunity to click on your link and bam they is a brand new visitor to your site.
This is how your links should look when you edit them in your profile:
[url="http://url you wish to add"]Text you want to be clickable[/url]
Just replace the bold text wilth your URL and the text you want, for example:
[url="http://neilmarsh.com"]Visit my Blog[/url]
This will look link this once you leave a reply:
You can normally add 3 to 5 lines so you can add a few links to your signature if you wish. Now you will need to active and post lots of replies for this technique to work, but work it will if you add good content and value to each thread.
So go and find yourself a forum list from google and get to work, give yourself a set number of minutes in a day to do your forum work. I recommend at last 30 – 60 minutes a day to start with. The more you do the better results you will get.
Remember action creates reaction, the more action you take the more of a reaction you get. If you do nothing then nothing will happen.
Look out for part 2 in my traffic generation series of posts as by the end of the series you will have all the knowledge to go and build your own traffic levels to massive new heights.
Thanks for reading and please leave a comment if you found it useful.

I think you hit the subject spot on when you say that we basically know what needs to be done but we aren’t implementing.
That seems to be what most people do – they read, consume content, analyze – but they never act.
I hope you’ll inspire them to get out of their comfort zone and just go for it

Thanks for the helpful information. I’m so glad I found your blog (through your Surfwars TE) I really enjoy the information and was happy to learn how to easily cloak my link.
I’ve been online a long time but fairly new at working from home and I love looking at new ways to earn and learn.
Thanks

hi Neil
ah – the dreaded action – what stops us?
reminds me of W. Clement Stone, who built an insurance empire worth hundreds of millions dollars – he would make all his employees recite the phrase "Do it now!" again and again at the start of each workday.
gotta go – time for action
