Traffic is the key to learning how to make fast money online. A site that does not attract traffic is the equivalent of putting the Mona Lisa on the bottom of the sea, yes, it is beautiful and expensive, but if no one is going to see it, it will not attract attention. To be successful online, you need to get noticed, and here’s how to do it:

First – Link Building

Backlinks are the direct search engines to your site, these could be social bookmarking, press releases, ping and probably most effectively article marketing.

Article marketing will help, firstly, to attract the attention of the reader, secondly, to the search engines because you have a link on a powerful site, and thirdly, to the development of online content.
Drilling through these three will help you rake in traffic.

Web content is invaluable on the internet, if you have a lot of unique and relevant content, and you put it on the internet on blogs, social media etc, people will naturally link to it via RSS feeds etc. Thus spreading your links even further.

The best way to publish this content is with the major article directories, these will attract millions of visitors every day, so it is likely that some will see your articles. You want to put your main keywords in the resource box, title and main content. And hopefully, if a publisher of an ezine with hundreds of subscribers picks up their article, they’ll see a dramatic increase in traffic.

You can also turn these articles into videos to help drive more traffic through YouTube etc.

Second, web optimization. This is optimizing your site for search engine spiders (SEO). This means that your page must have your keywords at all times. These are the words that people will search for on the engines. To get a keyword, try the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. Insert a keyword related to your field and the tool will give you a list of keywords with search volumes and ad competition etc. Make sure you choose the right one for you.

Then it’s just a matter of placing them all over your site and in any marketing you do, headlines, descriptions, internal links, filenames, etc.

And finally Wet Stats, this data will show you how many visitors come to your site and from where. You will want to know the keywords they are using and as much information as possible. The use of Google Analytics can be helpful for this. Just embed the code inside your web pages. This will allow you to track progress.

This will allow you to optimize your site, serving content that you know is relevant due to your tracking. The more you do this, the more traffic you will get and the more sales you will have.
