Increase you online income by adding one more referral income in AdSense by referring AdWords in your website. Infact, I personally prefer to promote AdWords rather than referring visitors to download Firefox with Google Toolbar or making new Google Adsense Clients (why adding the competition?).

Google AdWords enables advertisers to create and display ads on Google.com and the Google content network, which includes Google AdSense publisher sites. Advertisers can choose their target audience, set their budget, and see their ad almost instantly.

To put up a referral banner, choose ‘Referrals’ on your AdSense Setup tab and look for the AdWords sub-tab. How much can you earn?

According to Google:

When a user signs up for Google AdWords through your referral and spends their first $100.00 in advertising, we’ll credit your account with $20.00. *

* = A Google AdWords referral is counted when a publisher, who has never previously enrolled in Google AdWords, creates an account and spends at least $100.00 within 90 days of sign-up.

We all need traffic. It’s the life-blood of an online business. But what are the best ways to drive targeted traffic directly to your website? Here are 7 great tips to help you decide.

1. Offline Advertising = Online Profits

Whatever you’re trying to sell online will most likely link to a relevant or appropriate media section offline. For example, if you’re selling bicycles from your website, there will undoubtedly be a suitable offline magazine, in which you can place an ad. The purpose of the ad is not to sell your products, but to get prospects to visit your website. So your ad need only consist of a few lines, which should work out to be quite inexpensive.

Your bicycle ad could read like this: Looking for a new bicycle? We stock a huge range at discount prices and can deliver within 48 hours. To learn more visit our website. www. bicycles4u.com – Your ad could be placed in cycle mags, sports magazines or even national and local newspapers. Wherever you think your most likely prospects will look for your products or services offline is a means to getting them to go online.

2. Press Releases For The Inquiring Minds

Some people just have to know what’s new, what’s in and what’s out. To stay ahead in this information age, online and offline press releases can offer newsworthy titbits that could even be picked up by the national press. If you’re just starting out in your online business, launching a new product or creating a new service, people will want to know about it.

If this is something you haven’t done before, take a look at some existing press releases by going to Google and typing ‘press releases’ into the search field. Once you get the idea, write out your press release, including your contact details and website URL, then go back to Google and type in ‘press agencies’. Most will charge you for this service but your press release could get maximum coverage on and off the internet.

3. Opt-In Mailing Lists

Opt-in mailing lists can provide one of the most effective means of generating repeat business from your existing customer base. If your customers have bought from you once and that buying experience was satisfactory, there’s a very good chance they will buy from you again because they trust you. Capture emails by encouraging your customers to sign up for your newsletter or other promotional information.
Alternatively, you could rent an opt-in email list. A carefully worded e-mail message to people who have expressed an interest in receiving further information about your products or services could lead to extra sales, but be prepared to pay a princely sum.

4. Getting Your Message Delivered Direct To Your Customers

For as long as anyone can remember, direct mail has been one of the most effective and profitable forms of marketing ever. Many people have made millions from direct mail and it’s still as successful today as it was 50 years ago. It’s also relatively easy and inexpensive. First, create a single page introductory sales letter or brochure, detailing you products or services and all the benefits. For maximum effect, offer your new customers a discount or something for free, when they first purchase from your website.

Don’t forget, you want them to visit your website, so give them more than a good reason to do so. Next, rent a targeted mailing list from a reputable list broker. There are lists available, which cover every conceivable geographic and demographic statistic, so whatever business you’re in, there will be one that’s suitable for you. Send out your ‘invitations’ and wait for your hit counter to melt.

5. Referral Marketing

This is a simple strategy of referring your own customers to a related but non-competitive website in return for them doing the same for you. Let’s say you are selling printers. Find some quality sites that sell printer inks and contact the webmaster. Ask them if they would be willing to send their traffic to you in return for you doing the same for them. Most will agree. Between you, you will have to decide whether to display an ad on each other’s site or go for a written recommendation.
Either way, it will increase the chances of you getting more traffic to your site because you have been recommended. You could seek out many related websites and have numerous streams of traffic coming directly to you.

6. Traffic Merchants

Paying a company to send traffic to your website is an easy option, so long as the traffic is targeted. There are many companies who specialize in selling traffic. You could say they are traffic traffickers. They use all forms of online advertising to get people to visit your website and usually guarantee the numbers. At around $20 for 10,000 visitors, it certainly looks tempting.

Although there are many merchants to choose from, beware the scamsters operating in this market. Some will take your money and put your ad on a Free For All (FFA) website, leaving you to deal with hundreds or thousands of spam emails from everyone and their dog trying to sell you their products. A good place to start would be SafePartner.com. They offer a variety of packages and are very affordable. TrafficCircuit.com is another company offering this service but charge a little more. However, they offer tracking services, so you can see where the traffic comes from. If you’re into stats, you may find this service very useful.

7. Affiliate Programs

You just can’t afford to ignore affiliate programs. Getting other people to sell your products for a commission is a tried and tested, successful and very rewarding exercise. It doesn’t work very well if you’re selling a service, but it’s overwhelmingly awesome for shifting your product range. The best part is, once set up it works on automatic pilot. All you have to do then is monitor its success, because affiliates do all the work for you. They advertise your products and send the traffic to your website to buy them.

Another thing is you don’t have to pay your affiliates until you’ve been paid. Plus you save on advertising costs, and the increased activity to your website helps your search engine ranking. There’s an array of affiliate program tracking software available to track your sales and commission payouts or if you prefer, you can hire a company to look after all that side of the business for you.

pepperjamManagement.com is one of the most well-known companies around, offering a complete affiliate management solution. If affiliates can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions, it’s got to be a very worthwhile consideration for your business.

There are many ways in which you can get others to sell your products, and there are many ways of finding willing affiliate partners. Affiliate marketing is fast becoming a science.

As you can see, targeted traffic isn’t that hard to do but the rewards for your online business will show up in the bank.

How can you drive “free” traffic to your blog? You can’t. But that’s only because nothing is really free. In the end you can either buy traffic with money or you can buy traffic by investing time. Time IS money, hence my statement that there’s no free traffic.

If your goal is to drive traffic to your blog and pay for it with an investment of your time, instead of with gold or coin of the realm, then you’re in luck because that is entirely possible if you are ingenious enough to figure out the best ways to do it.

Therein lies the problem. Let’s make believe that time really IS money. Let’s make believe that you only have 10 hours in your “time bank account” to spend on finding ingenious ways to drive traffic to your blog without writing checks or whipping out the charge card. How should you invest that money?

The answer for most people is to start sniffing around the Internet looking for other people’s ideas and suggestions. You’ll run across all of the amateur ideas like: “Advertise your blog on Free-For-All (FFA) link sites” or “join e-mail safe lists”. Yeah, why not just post ads everywhere saying “Here is my email address. Please SPAM me”. Because that’s all you are going to get in return.

Moving a bit further up the idea chain you’ll probably encounter people who say “Get links from other blogs that point to yours”. Now that’s a wonderful idea, and it does work, but consider this: There is new blog appearing on the Internet every 7.8 seconds! If every blogger started asking every other blogger for reciprocal links, then entire Internet would likely come to a dead stop in about a week due to the shear volume of email that all of those requests would generate. Not to mention all of the time that you have to spend finding suitable blogs to link to, contacting the owners and managing the link process.

If you’ve only got those imaginary 10 hours to spend on finding ways to drive free traffic to your site, then you have to zoom in on those underutilized “secret”, not-everyone-and- his-brother-is-doing. “ah ha moment” methods that showcase your blog like a lamp burning at the top of a mountain at night. You need solid ideas that really work.

The best way to find solid ideas that really work is to find someone who already has invested the time in discovering and improving those ways and who is willing to share them with you.

That means that the best way to DISCOVER free ways to drive traffic to your blog is to BUY those secrets from a pro. Sure, you’re spending money to acquire the information, but you’ll end up with some great traffic-builders that aren’t going to cost you a penny out of your REAL banking account to implement.

The end result is: You get free, quality traffic to your blog and you didn’t waste 10 hours (10 weeks is more like it), trying every harebrain scheme that you encountered on the ‘net while you were looking.

Go to the experts when you need help. That’s my idea of investing your time AND your money wisely.

You want to know if Pay-Per-Click really can increase blog traffic? The answer is: Yes, it can. Thanks for reading this article. Have a nice day.

Wow, wouldn’t it be great if the answer really was that easy? Of course pay-per-click is a great way to get a new pair of eye-balls in front of your world-class blog, but it’s not as easy as depositing some money into a PPC account and then watching your traffic counter spin out of control ten minutes later even though Google’s web site claims that their Google AdWords campaigns can deliver results in an amazing 15 minutes!.

With a new blog appearing on the Internet every 7.8 seconds, you’ve got to have a solid PPC strategy to win the hearts and minds of the people who are looking for a new blog to identify with. PPC is a strategic investment and, like all strategic investments, it requires expertise and knowledge of how that investment works.

The first barrier to running a successful PPC campaign is money. If you are looking to buy traffic for any of the “hot property” key words then you might end up paying as much as $5, $10 or even an unbelievable $50 per click. At those prices you’d better be running a blog that has a great monetization potential or you could find yourself in the red at the end of the first day. Of course, there are words available for as low as a dime, and many of those words COULD be as valuable as the $50 ones if you know how to pick them.

The next obstacle to success is space. When you have a PPC ad running, you have a limited amount of space (words) available to sell the person on taking the time to click. What you are really doing is running a tiny little classified ad, so that ad better be working overtime to draw visitors to your home page.

Speaking of home page, that just happens to be your next issue. Once your classified ad entices someone to click, where will they land? Your landing page is your blog’s salesperson. It needs to seduce the visitor into wanting to read more. It has to tease them with the wonders of your blog and show them just enough to make them want to jump in and read it all. Just pointing someone to your last blog entry may not do the trick. You’ve got to make a sales presentation.

Trial and error is a wonderful teacher but if you’re paying for the tuition on a pay-per-click basis then you should first invest in some knowledge and experience from someone who is already running successful pay-per-click blog traffic campaigns. That way you can avoid what doesn’t work and zero in on what does. The actual truth is: You’re going to pay for that education either way. You’ll either invest a lot of money in bad PPC campaigns until you get it right, or you’ll make a relatively small, one-time investment to learn from a pro. It’s your money, so spend it wisely!
