			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is part four in a series of how to generate traffic to your website or blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.researchbydave.com/7-traffic-generation-ideas/" target="_blank" >Read Part One Here </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.researchbydave.com/traffic-generation-ideas-part-two/" target="_blank" >Read Part Two Here</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.researchbydave.com/traffic-generation-ideas-part-three/" target="_blank" >Read Part Three Here</a></p>
<p>1)  Participate in Giveaway Events.  Not only can you join a giveaway event to get some good products you can use and resell yourself, but you can also use them to drive traffic to your site!  By joining as a contributor, you can create a giveaway product and offer it on their site for others to download.  MANY marketers build very nice opt-in lists by using these giveaways and if they participate, you should take note of that fact and participate as well!  Your giveaway item should be useful to those downloading it.  Because you want to earn their trust and keep them on your list&#8230;so you can sell to them later on.  Almost every giveaway event allows you to send the visitor to an opt-in form to collect their name and mail - and then deliver the freebie to them.  So, it is best to have a way to collect that information.  I would suggest a good autoresponder service - such as <a href="http://www.aweber.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.aweber.com');">Aweber</a> or <a href="http://www.getresponse.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.getresponse.com');">GetResponse</a> (these are without a doubt the two top autoresponder services on the net.)   You can find out about these Giveaway Events by joining several email lists of better known marketers.  To find some, you can go to <a href="http://www.gurudaq.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.gurudaq.com');">Gurudaq.com</a> - which lists MANY of the top internet marketers.  To give you a start, here are a few current Giveaway Events:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.30daysofchristmas.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.30daysofchristmas.com');">30 Days of Christmas</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.jv-giveaway.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.jv-giveaway.com');">JV Giveaway</a></li>
<li><a href="http://viralmarketinggiveaway9.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/viralmarketinggiveaway9.com');">Viral Marketing Giveaway</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Use these wisely and often, and you should easily be able to get a solid 500 to 2000 new potential clients in a short amount of time!</p>
<p>2)  Use Free Advertising sites.  There are several highly traffic Free Advertising sites that you can list your website, blog, or product on.  Again, you can try and sell on these sites, but a better use is to use these sites to get traffic to your site by offering a freebie.  Here are a few of the more well known sites you can try:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.freeadsboard.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.freeadsboard.com');">Free Ads Board</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.freeadvertisingboard.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.freeadvertisingboard.com');">Free Advertising Board</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.freeadvertisingzone.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.freeadvertisingzone.com');">Free Advertising Zone</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.freeadvertisingexchange.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.freeadvertisingexchange.com');">Free Advertising Exchange</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.freeadvertisingforum.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.freeadvertisingforum.com');">Free Advertising Forum</a></li>
</ul>
<p>3)  <a href="http://www.craigslist.org" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.craigslist.org');">Craigslist</a>.  What started as a local directory has blossomed into one of the most visited classified site on the net.  I read that they receive something like 8 billion page views a month&#8230;hello!!  You can try and get yourself a little piece of that pie!  One note of caution to begin with:  the users of Craigslist are very good at spotting and reporting spam.   It must be used wisely to benefit from their traffic.  Some hints:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pick an appropiate category to post in.</li>
<li>Become a member and get involved in their discussion groups.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t SPAM!</li>
<li>Instead of selling an item, create a freebie to give away.  Collect name/email with opt-in.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t post too many things at one time.  Spread it out over time.</li>
<li>Use a <a href="http://mail.google.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/mail.google.com');">Google Gmail account</a>.</li>
<li>DO NOT TRY and sell affiliate products - those are very easy to spot and will get your ad deleted.</li>
</ul>
<p>One thing you can try to do is lurk around the &#8220;wanted&#8221; section (inside the For Sale category).  Find people that want to buy a certain item you are interested in.  Then go to Ebay, do a search for what they want.  If you find items that would meet the Craigslist user&#8217;s needs, join Ebay&#8217;s affiliate program, insert your affiliate id with the item for sale, and email the Craigslist user with what you found.  You are not selling an affiliate product.  You are offering them a way to find the item they WANTED to buy!!  Just an idea!</p>
<p>4)   Use your 404&#8230;..404 error pages I mean!  So this is not really a &#8220;traffic generation&#8221; tip, but MANY webmasters do NOT make use of their 404 pages, which is WASTING TRAFFIC!  You can edit them and send that traffic to any place you want&#8230;.send them directly to your home page; send them to an offer; send them to an affiliate page&#8230;.the main point here is to take advantage of that traffic.  <a href="http://www.google.com/search?num=50&amp;hl=en&amp;q=404+error&amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.google.com');">Here is a Google Search for 404 Error</a> - as you can see there are many resources you can check out to learn how to create a custom page.</p>
<p>5)  Blogs.  I know I mentioned submitting your site to directories, but in case you have a blog (and YOU SHOULD), you should also submit your blog to the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=blog+directory&amp;btnG=Google+Search" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.google.com');">various blog directories</a>.  Not only that, you really need to make sure you utilize your RSS feed that is built into most blogging platforms (Blogger and Wordpress being the two most popular.)  I would also suggest that you &#8220;burn&#8221; your feed with <a href="http://www.feedburner.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.feedburner.com');">Feedburner&#8217;s free service</a>!  (oh by the way, did you know that Feedburner is now owned by Google?)  Burning your feed allows your feed to be easier to subscribe to.  When a user clicks on your Feedburner Feed link, they are taken to a page that offers them several ways to subscribe to your feed.  Ok&#8230;and WHY do we want to have a way for people to subscribe?  So they are updated via their RSS Reader whenever you update your site!  RSS Readers are becoming VERY popular and if you don&#8217;t utilize this feature, you are wasting traffic.  RSS feeds provide users with a convenience&#8230;a simple way to stay informed of when a site is updated.  It makes it easier for them to find niche-specific sites that they feel are valuable to them&#8230;if you can&#8217;t see the value in that, I give up! <img src='http://www.researchbydave.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Only kidding!!  You WANT niche-specific traffic.  You NEED that niche-specific traffic&#8230;.because it is MUCH easier to make a sale to those people that are already interested in your niche.  Make sense?  I hope so!</p>
<p>Anyway, here are some resources:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.toprankblog.com/rss-blog-directories/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.toprankblog.com');">RSS / Blog Directories to Submit Your Site/Feed To</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.feedburner.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.feedburner.com');">Feedburner</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/search?num=50&amp;hl=en&amp;q=submit+rss+feed&amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.google.com');">Google Search for Submit RSS Feed</a></li>
</ul>
<p>6)   Email Advertising - Solo Ads.  While many may find this to be non-effective anymore, I say poppycock!  Email advertising (Solo Ads in particular) can be a very effective and cheap way to drive traffic to to your site&#8230;if done properly and if you make sure you are dealing with a reputable company or list owner.  There are MANY places that will sell you an email list - 75 million for $29.95 &#8230; are you that gullible?!  If so, just send me the money instead&#8230;I can use it to help the hungry!  Anyway - there ARE some good places to buy from&#8230;and the best way to find them is ask your fellow marketers that have used them!  Many say that they tried and didn&#8217;t like them - probably because they used them wrong or their offer was not targeted.  As in other methods, you can try and sell via an email ad, but you may have better success offering a freebie in exchange for a name and email address.  Get them in your own traffic funnel before you &#8220;sell&#8221; them.  Make them want to buy from you by offering them quality products and information.</p>
<p>Here are a few resources that I see mentioned by well-known marketers:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ezines-r-us.com/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.ezines-r-us.com');">Ezines-R-Us</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.jpeadvertising.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.jpeadvertising.com');">JPE Advertising</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.directoryofezines.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.directoryofezines.com');">Directory of Ezines</a></li>
</ul>
<p>7)  <a href="http://www.usfreeads.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.usfreeads.com');">USFreeAds</a>.   While they are not as loved by Google as they once were, they do still get indexed by Google fairly fast.  USFreeAds has three different ways you can post an ad - <a href="http://www.usfreeads.com/modules/registration/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.usfreeads.com');">Free, Gold Membership, and Premium Membership</a> (check out that page for more information on each level.)  The best way to use them is to create ads that are designed to drive traffic to your site or blog.  What is nice about the Premium version is that you can run an unlimited number of ads at a time&#8230;.while you are limited to 25 ads at a time with the Gold version.  Unfortunately, their Free version, according to their own site, does not allow you to run ads for a commercial purpose.  The Gold version is only $10 a year&#8230;very affordable!  Worth a test drive anyway!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is part three in a series about how to drive traffic to your website or blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.researchbydave.com/7-traffic-generation-ideas/" target="_blank" >Read Part One Here </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.researchbydave.com/traffic-generation-ideas-part-two/" target="_blank" >Read Part Two Here</a></p>
<p>1)  Submit Videos!  Unless you have been living under a rock, you should already be aware that videos are a VERY HOT trend these days!  And if you want to try and get a piece of that very big pie, you should be submitting videos these video sharing sites.</p>
<p>One really nice way you can submit your videos to about 17 video sharing sites is a service is called <a href="http://heyspread.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/heyspread.com');">Hey Spread</a>.   Hey Spread is an online service and is free.</p>
<blockquote><p>I want to include a link to a special offer that I created about 2 months ago - called Social Madness.<br />
<a href="http://www.researchbydave.com/dlg/sell.php?prodData=pp%2C1%2C5" target="_blank" >This resource lists:</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Over 100 Social Networking Sites (i.e. MySpace, Squidoo, etc..)</li>
<li>Over 150 Social Bookmarking Sites (i.e. StumbleUpon, Digg, etc..)</li>
<li>And Over 180 Video Sharing Sites (i.e. YouTube, AOL, etc..)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p align="center">
<blockquote><p>You can order this valuable report for only <a href="http://www.researchbydave.com/dlg/sell.php?prodData=pp%2C1%2C5" target="_blank" >$9.95 by Clicking Here</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p align="center">
<p>2)  Utilize Other People&#8217;s Blogs.  Not only can you post comments on other people&#8217;s blogs (that is, if they are similar to your own site or blog)&#8230;but you can also ask the blog owner to trade blog posts with you.  In other words, you are creating a &#8220;guest post&#8221; for the other person&#8217;s site&#8230;in exchange for allowing them to make a post on your site!  It&#8217;s really a win - win for both of you:  each of you get an extra article (i.e. original content) and each should get traffic from each post.  Make sure you both agree that you can place a link to each other&#8217;s site inside the post!</p>
<p>3)  Use Answer Sites.  By helping people on <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/answers.yahoo.com');">Yahoo Answers</a>, you can help spread your URL around.  The thing to remember is to (again) NOT SPAM!  You need to use and treat the site as you would a forum.  Be respectful and helpful and the traffic will naturally follow!  Also&#8230;BIG SURPRISE&#8230;there are other sites besides <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/answers.yahoo.com');">Yahoo Answers</a>!!</p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://iq.lycos.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/iq.lycos.co.uk');">Lycos iQ</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.theanswerbank.co.uk');">The Answer Bank</a></li>
<li><a href="http://questionville.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/questionville.com');">Questionville</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.allexperts.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.allexperts.com');">All Experts</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.askeet.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.askeet.com');">Askeet</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.wondir.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.wondir.com');">Wondir</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.justanswer.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.justanswer.com');">Just Answer</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.answerbag.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.answerbag.com');">Answer Bag</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.questionize.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.questionize.com');">Questionize</a></li>
</ul>
<p>4)  Create a <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.wikipedia.org');">Wikipedia</a> Entry or Post.  Ahh, bet you didn&#8217;t think about that one <img src='http://www.researchbydave.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Just in case you didn&#8217;t know, Wikipedia (and many off-shoots of it) are human edited and can be edited by almost anyone.  Like all other sources though, you have to treat it gently and nicely (READ:  DON&#8217;T SPAM!)  If you contribute real content, you may just be rewarded with not only direct traffic from Wikipedia, but also from the search engines that pick up their entries!!  <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.wikipedia.org');">Start Here at Wikipedia</a>, choose your language, then do a search for your topic.  You will see a clickable [edit] link on each section.  Go from there!!</p>
<p>5)  &#8220;Old School&#8221; Ways.  Hey, what about creating flyers to hand out &#8230; passing them out at shopping malls, flea markets, or colleges?  Ok&#8230;what about creating small, classified ads in your local newspaper or college newspaper?  How about creating ads in those &#8220;freebie&#8221; classifieds (popular ones are Thrifty Nickle, Penny Saver, Penny Ads, etc&#8230;)  Well then, how about sponsoring a local event - such as a chamber meeting or get-together, or perhaps sponsoring a local youth sports team? I can tell you from experience that these groups are ALWAYS looking for sponsors!!   Not everything you do to create traffic has to be done online!  What about buying a billboard ad?  Expensive?  Maybe, but why not check it out and see for yourself?!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some more ways to generate traffic to your website or blog.</p>
<p>1)  Write a Press Release.  Writing a press release is one overlooked way of creating some buzz for your website or blog!  You can then submit it to several places, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.prweb.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.prweb.com');">PRWeb</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.free-press-release.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.free-press-release.com');">Free Press Release</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.openpr.com/news/submit.html" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.openpr.com');">Open PR</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.pressrelease365.com/submit.htm" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.pressrelease365.com');">Press Release 365</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.1888pressrelease.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.1888pressrelease.com');">1888PressRelease</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.prleap.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.prleap.com');">PR Leap</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.prbuzz.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.prbuzz.com');">PR Buzz</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.i-newswire.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.i-newswire.com');">I-Newswire</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.24-7pressrelease.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.24-7pressrelease.com');">24/7 Press Release</a></li>
</ul>
<p>2)  Related blogs - using comments.  Find blogs that are related to your own website or blog and participate by posting comments or questions.  One warning, DO NOT SPAM!  Two great places to find blogs in your niche - <a href="http://blogsearch.google.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/blogsearch.google.com');">Google BlogSearch</a> and <a href="http://www.ask.com/?tool=bls" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.ask.com');">Ask.Com&#8217;s Blog Search</a>!</p>
<p>3)  Create a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.squidoo.com');">Squidoo Lens</a> or <a href="http://hubpages.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/hubpages.com');">Hub Page</a>.  Join their groups and make a contribution!  Again, just don&#8217;t spam <img src='http://www.researchbydave.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  The reason you should use these two resources is that they are loved by search engines!  Squidoo lenses and Hubpages are picked up pretty quick and can help drive traffic to your main website or blog.</p>
<p>4)  Social Bookmarking&#8230;it&#8217;s not just for organizing your own favorites <img src='http://www.researchbydave.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  The vast majority of these sites allow you to share your bookmarks with the public.  So, they create a very nice way to show others your sites, articles, or blogs - which gives you more traffic!  One great tool I found is called <a href="http://www.socialmarker.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.socialmarker.com');">Social Marker</a> - which allows you to add your bookmarks many of the top social bookmarking sites from the convenience of only having to access their site.</p>
<p>5)  Social Networks - they are not just for teens!  Many of these sites are visited by all ages - and can generate some nice targeted traffic to your other sites.  Some of the top sites you need to check out are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.myspace.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.myspace.com');">MySpace</a></li>
<li><a href="http://twitter.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/twitter.com');">Twitter</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.facebook.com');">Facebook</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.43things.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.43things.com');">43 Things</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.bebo.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.bebo.com');">Bebo</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.hi5.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.hi5.com');">Hi 5</a></li>
</ul>
<p>6)  Create a Free Giveaway offer.  Many forums and sites allow you to post free stuff.  Create a free report, make it useful and place links in it back to your site.  Give it away either without requiring an opt-in or with an opt-in (in other words, are you going to make the person fill out a form, giving you their name and email or are you just going to supply a download link?)  Each has their advantages and disadvantages.  Try them both and see how they do for you!</p>
<p>7)  Participate in traffic exchanges.  Many people believe that they are yesterday&#8217;s news, but from what I have seen, they can work!  The biggest problem is that many people try and SELL via the traffic exchanges.  That is a mistake.  Instead, combine a freebie report (see #6 above!) and start using these traffic exchanges to just collect names and emails for future mailings.  One good site to check out for a listing of &#8220;the best&#8221; exchanges is called the <a href="http://www.hitexchangenews.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.hitexchangenews.com');">Hit Exchange News</a>.</p>
<p>Ok &#8230; now you have a total of 14 ways to generate traffic to your website or blog!  Use one&#8230;use them all <img src='http://www.researchbydave.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  But I am not done yet LOL!</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more!!   Also&#8230;feel free to contribute to this list and use the comment form below!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I would like to talk about how to generate traffic to your site.</p>
<p>1)  Create a blog in your niche.   Keep it updated - say 2-5 times a week.  Use a service like <a href="http://pingoat.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/pingoat.com');">Pingoat</a> or <a href="http://pingomatic.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/pingomatic.com');">Ping-o-Matic</a> to tell the world your site has been updated.  Wordpress has a nice feature that allows your blog to automatically ping many of the popular services every time you update your blog!</p>
<p>2)  Create articles in your niche and submit them to both article directories and your blog.  Many webmaster use these article directories to gather articles for their sites to use as content.

<p>3)  Use Ebay!  Ok &#8230; just follow me here:  Ebay has a fairly new feature called Classified Ads and guess what?  MANY of their normal rules do not apply in this section!  For example, with a normal auction, you are not allowed to link to an outside site for sales&#8230;in Classified Ads, you CAN!  The cost (as of today 11/27/2007) is less than $10.00 (US) for a 30-day listing.  There are other &#8220;add-on&#8221; features you can, well, add on to the listing to make it stand out and it may be worth testing to see what works better for you.  What is really nice is that Classified Ads show up when a Ebay user types in their normal search keywords!  So, if you find a popular search term or product that is selling well on Ebay, you can grab yourself a portion of that traffic and send it to your site!  Just make sure that your landing page is relevant to what the user is searching for <img src='http://www.researchbydave.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8230; you can read more about <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/adformatfees.html" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/pages.ebay.com');">Ebay Classified Ads Here</a>.</p>
<p>4)  Find Forums and Groups that are related to your niche.  Make useful, relevant posts in those forums.  USE YOUR SIGNATURE LINE, if allowed.  If you are not a part of a forum or group, you are missing out!  Not only can you get a lot of useful information that can help you make more money online, but you can also develop a nice following of people that may buy your products!  Many forums generate thousands of page views and again, if you are not plugged into these forums and groups, you are missing out on some really good traffic!</p>
<p>5) Obvious&#8230;but manually submit your site to the major search engines and directories.  I don&#8217;t suggest paying for submission, unless you can get it done manually.  One nice site to check out that is &#8220;free&#8221; (with a voluntary donation option) is called <a href="http://selfpromotion.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/selfpromotion.com');">SelfPromotion.Com</a>.  There are links to many of the search engines and directories on his site.</p>
<p>6)  Not-So-Obvious - Use a page translation plugin or software!  Guess what:  not everyone on the planet reads or speaks English <img src='http://www.researchbydave.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  If you use a blog (again, another reason to use one) is that there are plugins that will do this for you.  Why not give people the option to translate a page into Spanish, French, or German?!   You can check out some plugins by going to <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Translation_and_Languages" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/codex.wordpress.org');">Wordpress Plugins/Translation and Languages Page</a>.  Here is a nice Paid Translation Plugin - <a href="http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/angsumans-translator-plugin-pro-for-wordpress-blogs-released/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/blog.taragana.com');">Angsuman’s Translator Plugin Pro For WordPress 2.x.y Blogs.</a></p>
<p>7)  Use Pay Per Click advertising.  Ok, so it&#8217;s not free, but it &#8220;can&#8221; be a nice addition to your other traffic generation techniques.  Oh, yea &#8230; by the way - there are more choices other than <a href="https://adwords.google.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/adwords.google.com');">Google Adwords</a>, <a href="http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/searchmarketing.yahoo.com');">Yahoo SearchMarketing</a>, or <a href="https://adcenter.microsoft.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/adcenter.microsoft.com');">MSN AdCenter</a>!  You can check out <a href="http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.payperclicksearchengines.com');">PayPerClickSearchEngines.Com</a> &#8230; there are tons of places &#8230; and the best part is that they can give you some of the same keywords/searches for a whole lot less money!</p>
<p>There are 7 ways you can generate traffic to your site.   Theykey to ANY technique is to DO IT &#8230;. do everything you can do get traffic.</p>
<p>In the coming weeks, I will be adding onto this list&#8230;and please use the comment form below to add to them!!!</p>
<p>Wishing you the best!</p>
