Running Traffic

Craigslist
Craigslist may be an online classifieds website, but it can also be used to generate some nice numbers of visitors to your site.

The first thing you need to understand about Craigslist is the fact that they are very strict about content spam. You will need to register on their site with a valid email address. Craigslist US can only be used by people residing in the USA now because of phone verifications. Unless you have a US phone number and can access it after sending the verification code, you will be limited to using your local Craigslist platform.

Not that this matters much. Even so the US version of this classified site is definitely the most-trafficked of them all. You can funnel some nice traffic from just about any of them.

Consider using the following sections on Craigslist to publish your advert:

Services: Offer your services (use freebies like a free report to generate curiosity). Use images to help draw eyeballs from users.

Events: The Events section of Craigslist can be a great source of traffic if used right.

Classes: Host a class to teach niche specific knowledge

Community: Some advertisers have experienced good results with the Community section on the site.

A with any traffic generation method, to see results you need to consistently use the site for a period of time.

Social Media Marketing

A large number of online traffic can be harnessed with the help of social media sites. Twitter, Facebook, Stumble Upon, YouTube, LinkedIn, and others are so popular with Internet users that they have become a great source of traffic for many website owners. YouTube and LinkedIn have already been covered in this eBook because of their extraordinary strength, but other sites can just as well become a staple source of traffic for your site.

Beware of the Number One Mistake
Before you get stuck into social networking, you need to understand one very important aspect of using these sites. These networks do NOT work for ALL types of websites!

If for example you have an Adsense site, you are much better served by using any of the other suggestions because social traffic is bad for this type of site. The click value is effectively minimized because social traffic is often un-targeted.

On the other hand, social networking sites are great for people with specific products and services. Think about the type of people who use these networks?

That's right, everyone does: businesses, singles, professionals, kids, grandparents, parents, and many more. Fact is that you can leverage your website on these networks with a bit of planning.
