What’s a targeted traffic made of?

The people that wants to find on Internet, what you are offering on your web site, and visit your web site, are called targeted traffic

What kind of traffic will visit your web site?

You will be visited by:

*  People that where looking for other kind of products and services and arrived there by mistake
*  People that are looking for similar things to those that you offer at your site
*  People that are looking for what you have to offer

You must certainly try to avoid the visits of the first group, and encourage the second and the third group people

The second group, are targeted traffic, and even when they are not going to buy YOUR products, may buy Affiliate Program’s products offered at your web site or provide you a source of income through Adsense

And the third group, is the kind of targeted traffic that’s going to arrive to your web site, with a desire of finding what you are offering, and most probably buy it from you.

The targeted traffic might not be in a buying mood the day that they visit your web site, but they will be receptive to your offerings, and if you give them a reason to return to your web site (having a good content site), they might buy from you in the future.

You may have heard that what you need in order to do a good business with Internet is traffic, tons of traffic. But you don’t need just traffic, you need TARGETED traffic because is the only kind of visitors that will provide you a revenue.

So you don’t need any visitors, you need qualified or targeted visitors that will respond with a positive attitude, and will want to read what you say at your site.

Can you do business with untargeted traffic?

Yes, you can, but it will cost you much more money and time to do it.

For every 100 or 1000 bulk untargeted visitors you might find one that’s really interested in your offer, but if you are in a pay per click campaign you will need to pay for 100 or 1000 clicks to get each sale.

If you are trying to drive traffic through the search engines, is the same, you will need 100 or 1000 times more visitors to get the ones that really care for what you offer.

How can you get targeted traffic?

The most cost efficient way to attract targeted traffic to your web site, is utilizing the search engines, the directories, and links from other related sites.

And how will they provide you with targeted traffic?

They will do it if you reach a high ranking, because if you have the right product or service for your targeted customers, and when they search for it on the search engines or directories, you have your site on place 400, they most likely NEVER find you or buy from you.

So high ranking on the search engines will not only provide you with your targeted traffic, they will also provide you with credibility, and people that find you on their lists, will arrive to your web site, with the kind of mood that you need in a visitor.

If you are thinking about getting involved with affiliate marketing you are probably wondering what affiliate marketing cost you can expect to incur. The good news is that you can start your very own affiliate marketing business for free or very little cost.

Yes, I said free. Though I’ll be honest, that’s not going to get you as far as quickly as if you invested a small amount of money, let me explain why. There are probably thousands of different types of products and services you could become an affiliate for but the real trick is getting customers to your website. You need to get a steady stream of hungry customers to your site if you want to make money.

One of the best methods for generating this traffic is by article marketing. That means you write quality, informative articles about the product you are promoting and when someone reads your article they can click on a link at the bottom of your article and be taken to your website. Not only is this method free it also has the added advantage of helping you set yourself up as a trusted expert.

The downside to this method is that many of the article directories (websites that will let you submit articles for publication) won’t allow you to put an affiliate link in your article, you need your own domain name. There are some ways you can get around that such as putting up pages on sites like Hubpages and Squidoo but that’s not as effective as purchasing your own domain and hosting. You can buy your own domain name for less than $11 a year and hosting can be less than $10 a month. So, while you can get involved in affiliate marketing for free, if you’ve got even a small amount of money it can help you get established a little more quickly.

When you’re first starting out you’ll probably hear a lot about Pay Per Click (PPC). This is a form of advertising that allows you to place ads using topic specific keywords. You will only have to pay for the ad when someone clicks on it and is taken to your site. The amount you have to pay will vary depending on the keyword you’re targeting and is determined by a bidding process.

PPC has a lot of variables and if you’re not careful you can really rack up hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Because of the steep learning curve I recommend anyone who is new to affiliate marketing start with the free marketing methods such as article marketing. They are every bit as effective as PPC but they won’t cost you anything. Then, when you are making more money and have the time to learn to do PPC properly, you can expand…if you want to.

There is nothing stopping you from starting your own affiliate marketing business. The affiliate marketing cost is very low (or even free) and the potential rewards are virtually unlimited. Just remember, that even though you can start this business with little or no money, if you don’t treat it like a business and learn all you can, you’ll never make any money either.
