Small Web Biz's Guide To Internet Marketing
Traffic or visitors to your website is the only way that you have a chance of making money with your online business. If you do not have traffic coming to your websites then it is really just sitting there doing nothing for you. Getting the traffic needed to create a profitable web based business is one of the hardest things to do.
Pay Per Click Advertising
One of the easiest ways to start getting traffic to your website is by creating a Pay Per Click Campaign. These are advertising campaigns that you can set up via Google Adwords or other major advertising companies. The whole process can take less than 30 minutes to get set up and start receiving traffic to your site. The difficult part about PPC campaigns is choosing the correct keywords for your website.
Article Marketing
The next method of getting traffic to your website is Article Marketing, which is writing articles that contain your websites link in them and submitting them to article directories. The article directories will then allow people to use the articles that you have written on their own site, which in turn will give you more back links pointing to your website. As we all know the more backlinks that we have pointing to our website the higher our ranking will be in searches.
If you are knowledgeable about certain things a good way to get more customers to your website is by writing articles. You can write articles about anything you want. In doing this you can get noticed by a lot of different readers which in turn they might visit your website.
When writing articles you can always put your website address in the article. This is a very effective way of advertising. Share your knowledge and get more customers. Very simple and you will probable see more an immediate increase of traffic to your website. On our website we have listed some places where you can submit your articles.
Remember that your articles do not have to be about the products or service you are selling, but if you are having trouble trying to figure out something to write about this would be a good place to start. Writing about something that you know is a good place to start. Share your knowledge on a topic and let other people learn from what you know. Information should be free and people should not have to pay to learn something new. This is my take on it. You might have different views on this but in the end it will be a good source of traffic/customers coming to your site.
Social Bookmarking Sites
Social bookmarking sites have been around for awhile and have been proven to be a great way to increase the traffic coming to your website. Social bookmarking allows people to promote your content by “voting” on it. The more votes that your content receives, the higher that it is ranked on the social bookmarking website, which typically means that more visitors will visit your site.
Blogging
The last thing that we are going to cover in this post is blogging. Blogging is a great way to increase traffic to your website because the content on the blog is generally updated multiple times a week and search engines will pick up on the constant updates which means that you will typically be ranked higher in the search results. Blogs do not have to be the entire website, they can be installed in a folder and include a link on the main page to it. They are easy to update and typically bring in a good amount of visitors.
Content Writing
Writing content for your website may seem like a hard thing to do, but in reality it is not too difficult. Even if you are not a writer you can still write effective content for your domains. The topic of the content for your website needs to be the same as the topic of your domain name which means that you already have good idea of the things you need to write about.
Keywords
When writing content for your domains it is extremely important that you include keywords in your articles. Keywords are what allows the search engines show your site in search results. Choose keywords that are based on the topic of your domain and incorporate them into your articles somehow. Do not just stuff your articles full of keywords though, because search engines such as Google frown upon this act.
Clear Content
Content that is clear and easy to read will do wonders for your domain or website. Content that is hard to read or unorganized can have negative effects on what we are trying to accomplish. So when writing content for your website, make sure it is clear, easy to read, and provides the information that the reader is looking for.
Promote Your RSS Feeds
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndicate and allows people to view your post without actually going to your website or blog. This is a great way to promote your information and get more visitors to your site.
Submit To Feed Directories
The first step to promotion your RSS feed is to submit it to feed directories. This not only promotes your RSS feed but it will help get backlinks to your website. Typically RSS directories allow you to submit your feed to them for free.
RSS Graphic
Placing an RSS graphic on your website will allow your readers to know that you offer RSS. The RSS graphic is a standard graphic that is used across thousands of websites which means that users that use RSS are trained to look for this graphic. If the reader uses a RSS reader they will be more likely to click on the RSS graphic to get access to your feed.
Auto-Discovery
Enable auto-discovery by putting a simple line of code on your site will automatically tell the browser that there is an RSS feed on that site. When the site automatically tells the user that there is a RSS feed it is doing some of the promotion for you.
RSS is a great way to promote your site and information that you have on your site. Blogs are one of the largest users of RSS feeds because they can share quickly find out what is going on in the world with a few clicks. Promote your RSS feeds to receive more users of your site, not just visitors.
Comment On Blogs
Commenting on other blogs is another way to promote your blog or website. When commenting write something that is interesting about the post. Writing something interesting that gets the reader thinking about who wrote it will do wonders for your Internet marketing campaign. Comment on every blog that you visit throughout the day, you will be surprised at how easy it is to get more backlinks to your website using this method.
Conclusion

This guide is not an end all guide to Internet Marketing because there are so many other ways that you can promote your website.
