What Means Targeted Traffic

The main concern for all webmasters, bloggers and owners of other kind of online sites, like Squidoo lenses, Hub pages, etc. is the traffic. If you have no visitors to your site, you have nothing. For those which are wasting their time online without commercial purposes, this is not a problem, but those who are trying to make a living online are seriously affected by the lack of traffic, especially those who have invested money in their online business.

Coming to traffic, even if you handle somehow to drive traffic to your website, either with free or paid methods, the problems doesn’t end here. If you are trying to sell a product or a service, and you get 1000 visitors to your website daily, but they buy nothing, then your efforts are wasted together with your money. The solution is to find ways to drive targeted traffic to your website, people who are really interested in your products, not all kind of traffic.

Wherever you turn around online you find all kind of systems of traffic exchanges, all kind of paid surfing sites, and it’s true, their goal is reached, they generate the traffic they promise to you, thousands or tens of thousands of visitors to your site. But this kind of visitors are receiving a quantum of money daily for doing this, or, if we speak about traffic exchange, to receive themselves visitors to their own websites. When you look back, you are in the same point where you were left. Ten thousands visitors and zero sales.

What means targeted traffic? Means someone who is looking something, either information, products or services, not just surfing the web to kill his time. This kind of visitors, in the moment when they find what they are looking for, they are acting somehow, they buy, they subscribe, etc.

The fastest way to get targeted traffic, but in the mean time the most expensive and with the higher degree of risk is pay-per-click advertising. The competition is very tight, and, as a beginner, your chances to succeed are extremely low. You need to study very well the system, to understand its secrets, and even then, you are limited to a certain number of campaigns and keywords that you can use, while the older advertisers are permitted more, in conformity with their performance up to date. I know personally guys which are spending ten thousands dollars daily and are using one million keywords for one campaign. Feel free to compete with them.

Luckily, there are and other methods which allow you to drive targeted traffic to your website without losing your shirt for that.

Article marketing and blogging are the most mediated, but the problem is that not all of us is a writer by birth. Of course, for those who can not write there is the solution of outsourcing their articles or blog posts, but if you add the article submission task, the bill can go quite high. Those who are outsourcing their articles to writers from Philippine or India get cheaper, but they get what they pay. I saw an article promoting the brand Calvin Cline and I haven’t asked who wrote it or what he was promoting, the answer was obvious.

Among many other methods, there is one which is not very known to the public, yet is extremely efficient, the expired domains strategy. Not many people are aware when they are starting a business that, instead of register a new domain name, they can buy an expired domain related to their niche, which has already some popularity and visitors. And even less know that they can get targeted traffic to their websites by advertising on expired domain names. These method is very powerful and the traffic provided from this expired domain names is more than targeted if you advertise on the right domain names.
