The Best Way To Generate Free Targeted Website Traffic

If you have a website or you promote someone else's' website as an affiliate, you need to drive traffic to it.


Without traffic, you won't get visitors. And without visitors, you won't make money, sales, get subscribers, etc. What good is a website without any traffic? And if the site is getting traffic, what good is it if it's not targeted traffic?


There are many ways to drive traffic to your site, both free and paid. But we are not going to talk about paid traffic right now. That is a totally different topic and could take hours to cover.


So, back to free traffic. Some ways of getting free traffic to your site is by Search Engine Optimization, surfing for traffic, or getting it passively.


SEO takes time and a lot of work. When you join sites that are surf for traffic sites, you have to look at other members' sites in order to earn advertising credits for your site to be displayed when another member is surfing.


The only problem with this is that although the traffic is free, it is not targeted. Everyone who is a member only surfs for the credit and very rarely even looks at the site, they just minimize their window on their PC and multi-task. So, the traffic is crap and worthless.


Now, let's talk about the best way to get free targeted traffic. It's called Instant Buzz. Instant Buzz is a service that gives you advertising credits as you surf the web like you normally would. What you do is download the toolbar for free, it only takes a minute. Then, you set up your ads in the members area. And bam, you ads are being displayed on other members' tool bars as they surf.


You can also put Instant Buzz ads in emails that you send to your friends. These are called mail space ads. And your ad will get displayed in other members' emails. The last thing you can do is put a hyperspace ad on your website which will help you refer other members.
When you refer other members, you will also get a percentage of the credits they earn which will go towards your ad credits.


If someone likes your ad and is interested in what it says, then they click on it and end up on whatever site it was that you were promoting. Now that's targeted traffic! And it was free.
So make sure you visit the link in the resource box to start driving targeted and quality traffic to your website today. It will only take you a couple of minutes to start bringing visitors to your site.

A Fast & Effective Start Up for Internet Business Newbie’s
Copyright © Melvin Yee
http://www.ResourceOasis.com

If you click the word “Home Based Business” in Google, you will most likely find over 135,000,000 listing under this heading. Some are presented with a “get rich quick” scheme behind their very beautiful presentation upfront, and some require advance skills to be qualified.

How do we actually start off with an Internet business?
How do we shorten our learning curves?
What are the skills require?
Where could we acquire it?

These are just some of the many questions many will ask as a newbie. All the Internet gurus in the market seem so far from reach. Was it a myth to say that we can reach a status like them if we put in great amount of energy and efforts?

I have read many reviews and affiliates sites where they shared about their products and marketing plans. Some of them are indeed genuine where they delivered a great product. But many, under deliver and could not meet the basic expectation. Such trend happens in many industries and is not unique to the fast pace Internet Business.

What are the key questions we have to ask before we begin?
What is my niche?
What could I offer? In what area could I help with my expertise?
How could I manage my time in this business while having a full time job on hand?

My Internet journey begin with my 1st encounter with the #No.1 Super Affiliate Mr.Ewen Chia. I saw his news article in one of the blog post of his downline. You can see a detail recapped of this in my blog post.

Ewen began his business in 1997 when he was in debts of over $16,000. Over the 10 years in this business, he has invested more than $50K in research and readings, offline and online before he could reach his current status in the Internet world.

Looking at this model, it certainly provides me with great inspiration of his success. I ask myself, could I achieve such a status like him? It seems tough and unreachable. But does it mean that is the only way into this business? Or is it only for the unique? I believe everything starts from somewhere and with passion, efforts, and consistency, one will definitely reap result like Ewen.

Survey statistics has shown that almost 160,000 people log into the Internet for the 1st time-everyday and the figure is still increasing. The market is definitely still very active. It’s a myth to believe that it’s already saturated and it’s not for newcomer.

After reading the article, I decided to purchase Ewen Chia’s-Secret Affiliate Weapon as a starter for myself. (It’s ONLY $9 and believes me; it’s worth more than $90 if not of Ewen’s generosity). It has great stuff and very informative. The article gave me great insight and experience as a newbie, with all the basic tools and knowledge that is a “must know”, and a “must have” to begin. Ewen’s way of presentation is always so simple, easily comprehensible and applicable. To learn is easy, but to implement it and to put them in placed properly is indeed the toughest part.

While exploring further, I discover a very prominent program that Ewen has been promoting as a Super Affiliate and it’s call the Plug In Profit Site. (PIPS) I’m delighted that my nightmare as a newbie was cleared immediately after I discover what Evan Stone (the founder) could offer through the PIPS. I will be able to get my own fully customizable FREE website with my own domain name in within 24 hours. Indeed, that is what I need as a beginner and I’m glad I could discover it before I go through a bigger cycle of learning the hard way.

To get my own website is just the most basic in this business. It’s like having your own “shop house” setup and ready to sell your very own product or other people’s products. What is most critical is not having your own "shop" but it's how to drive traffic and to gain exposure for your business. That is the whole crux of this business and it’s also the main focus for PIPS.

I’m glad that I have this good head start now with PIPS and I believe there are more for me to look forward to within the 30 days training. The main engine is up and running now for my business and it can be for anyone who are keen to begin their online business with a tight budget like me.

It's time for you to discover the PIPS journey too!

My Journey begins with Entrepreneur Ewen Chia.

This is my 1st post in this blog where it mark my new journey in Affiliate Marketing. I like to dedicate this to all that I love and especially to the 2 special people of my life,Trina and Little Tricia whom will be supporting me in various aspects and to go through this with me from now on.......thank you so much!

How it begin?
What is my motivation?
Where and from whom did I get the inspiration from?
Why did I choose this?

By writing this important note here in my 1st post serves as a reminder for myself when this journey gets tougher or if I ever lose my zest into building this business one day. Or I must say, I wish to record this important prime point of mine. When I look back, I will be glad that I have started it and have made it a towering success.

Well, it all started when I came across the following article about a month ago when it really caught my attention.
Though its an article that was published in April 2007, I had missed it then. It's indeed inspiring to see the success story from this Singapore home grown Entrepreneur who established his Internet Empire from zero and now making a profitable 5 figure income monthly. His name is Ewen Chia.

Why did this news report strike me? Basically, there are 4 reasons:


1st- He is a Singaporean. I have seen many Internet Success and big names like Mike Filsaime, Eric Rockefeller etc. But all these big gurus always seem too far from reach. I'm greatly motivated to know that I have a local example that I can follow closely and could possibly duplicate his success as we both live in the same environment.


2nd- He is also in his 30s. Though comparing our age, I could have started later at this stage, but I believe in building....yes, building up a foundation for long term. If I procrastinate further, I may not even start off anywhere. Even with efforts input, there maybe no guarantee of output. What more if I don't have any input of efforts??? There will be nothing that I can look forward to.


3rd- He was in Credit Cards debts of $16K when he started his Business. Well, you have guessed it. I'm also in Credit Cards debts amounting to $15K and still running. Thanks to Trina who helps me with managing my accounts, I'm able to be in control of it now. I believe within this year I can resolve all the basic financial issues, to build this business, to save and to plan for my future concretely.


4th- We are both in the Telecommunication Industry. Of course, for Ewen it is already the past when he worked with MobileOne (M1), a local Telecommuication and Network Service Provider. For me, I'm with a local Telecommunication company, where I market branded PABX and IP phone systems to end users.


Well, this marks my 1st chapter of this Journey.....

I will be posting my impressions on my contact with Ewen and how I feel about his products and more.....

My Journey has just begun and it shall not cease.
