Successful Affiliate Marketer

Website traffic generation is very hard for most website owners. Many want to know how to generate traffic to their website, but the would you honestly do the work that is required to make it happen if you knew how to do it?

If you feel that you’ll put in the work to generate traffic to your website if I tell you how to do it then let’s go ahead and talk about how to do it.

First A Question

Before we get started I would first like to ask you a question. Do you want get more traffic to your website by having articles on your website that rank high for certain search phrases? Do you want to get traffic by having your domain home page rank higher? Or do you want to get more traffic by having articles on article sites rank high for search phrases?

No matter which option you choose, all of them relate to ranking a certain page high in the search engines for a particular keyword (the basics of getting more traffic)!

So let’s talk about how to get those pages to rank high.

Now What?

So now you have the url of a keyword optimized article that’s either on your site on an article directory, or you have the url of your keyword optimized. So how do we get it to get this high search engine rankings that brings us the traffic…

…backlinks!

How many of you knew I was going to say that?

Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule? It means that 20% of the work you do is responsible for 80% of the results you see, and this is very true in producing traffic online. Most of the results that you will see will be due to the backlinks that you see to your pages. Here’s a good scenario of what I mean.

John has his own website and he wants to rank one of the articles on his domain for a good highly searched for keyword. So what John does is he spends week after week giving backlinks to his keyword optimized article so that it will rank for that particular keyword.

Mike takes a different approach. Instead he spends week after week adding new articles to his site and never backlinks any the articles that are already on his site.

After two months of working hard, John has his article in the top spot in Google and it’s averaging him around 100 visitors per day from Google (could be much more if he had done some good keyword research). After two months, Mike has added 100 new articles to his site, but they’re only bringing him about 20 visitors per day since most of them are way down the rankings in Google.

Do you see the importance of backlinking now? I’ll leave it at that.


P.S. Don’t forget that we have a backlinking category.
