The methods I’m mentioning here drive the highest quality traffic. Some cost money, some don’t. The bottom line is that you should simply use them!

Safe Shopping Network

The internet is full of websites that sell different products. It’s a simple fact that people still don’t trust websites. The Safe Shopping Network tests your website and lists how safe it is for people. They run a directory of sites that someone can use to find products at a website rated based on its level of safety. This website gives you a seal to post on your website that will help people trust your site and spend their money with you. I recommend contacting them first to have them run their testing to ensure you get the highest possible rating before signing up.

They have 2 different cost set ups. The first is to pay for a category listing with unlimited clicks. You can do a single category for around $300 or unlimited categories for $900. The better answer is their PPC program. There is a minimum deposit of $329, but there is a 100% price match. This way you aren’t risking anything. You pay for results.

Niche Websites

Every single type of business online has a hub that they need to be a part of. Most of them have many. These are the best possible sources for targeted traffic. If you sell music, wouldn’t MTV direct customers to you? If you sell diapers, wouldn’t Parents.com be a good place to advertise?

This is a simple piece of advice – Find These Websites and Advertise There!

For the perfect example of this, check out Self Growth. This is the one I found for my first company online.

Expired and Mistyped Domains

Thousands of Domain Names expire every day. The dotcom boom of the nineties resulted in people buying hundreds of domain names for their niche. Now, it’s 2006 and many of those domain names are unused.

What does this mean for you?

You can find a diamond in the rough by doing the proper research on expiring domain names. The key here is to find domains in your niche that have a lot of backlinks. This guarantees a lot of traffic from people finding the links to this domain. You purchase the domain and redirect it to your website. You now have a source of traffic that will continue as long as you own it! I recommend Bizmint if you truly want to take advantage of expired domain name traffic. It not only tells you which domain names are expired, but tells you of ones that are expiring soon, too!

Can you imagine how much traffic you’d get if you owned Gooogle.com? Think of domains that are simple mistyped versions of the most popular websites you visit. Register them and redirect them to one of your sites. Make them targeted!

Yahoo Answers

Yahoo Answers is one of the best traffic generation strategies available online today. It’s actually quite simple. You go to the Answers website and find questions that are in your niche. You provide a valid answer and post a link to your website in the “resource” area under your answer. This directs a ton of traffic as Yahoo is pushing its Answers section quite hard and its Answers section is showing up in Yahoo and Google results quite often.

Post your URL everywhere!

Have you ever seen the crazy cars that companies like Red Bull have their employees drive around town? This can be very powerful if done right. I’m not talking about some bumper sticker or window sticker. I’m talking about making your car stand out!

Link to A Site!

By linking to a popular site in your niche, smart people that are looking to replicate what they have done will be looking for who links to them. They will find your site! This is especially useful for blogs.

Get Interviewed!

Getting interviewed by an expert can give you a huge swarm of traffic. This does not only apply to podcasts or blogs. This is great if you can be interviewed on the radio! A good press release can get this done for you. Doing interviews of other experts can easily do the same thing.

Public Domain Content

Every day there are thousands of different properties that have their copyright expire. You can now take that content and claim it as yours. This includes books, audio, and video content. Put it out as a free product, but include links to your websites. This works best with targeted content!

Don’t think outside the box, break it!

What do you think would happen if somebody came to your website and it was upside down? What if it flashed between 5 different languages. Do you think that might make an impact?

To have something like this work, you have to have a method that your visitors can use to turn your website back into what it is supposed to be, but this can generate insane buzz around you and your products.

Testing and Tracking

Your logs can be accessed through your control panel of your hosting plan. By seeing what is bringing traffic to your site, you can improve your results by focusing on improving the rankings of specific terms. If you find some strange site is bringing you traffic, see if you can add more content to that site!
