			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/traffic.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-2634" alt="Businessman pull web traffic" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/traffic.jpg" width="203" height="136" /></a>I think most of us have at one time or another bought traffic. Over the years I have bought tons of traffic from just about every source available. Most of the time I have lost money and I even managed to get myself banned from Google Adwords and Facebook ads simply for promoting an IM related type of product. It was probably a blessing in disguise anyway as I never seemed to be able to get my ads to show a profit.</p>
<p>Because of this I&#8217;ve learned to generate my own traffic, in fact 99.9% of the traffic I receive to all of my websites is completely free. However, over the last few months I have been having a play around with one form of paid traffic that I have actually managed to turn a profit from, do you want to know what this traffic source is?</p>
<p><strong>Solo Ads.</strong></p>
<p>Just in case you are wondering what a solo ad is it&#8217;s just a way to get someone to mail your offer to their list. You pay them to deliver X amount of clicks to your offer. This is usually an opt-in page where you collect subscribers, if done right you can build your list very fast indeed.</p>
<p>Now I want to point out I am no expert when it comes to buying Solo Ad&#8217;s but I want to share with you a few things I have learned.</p>
<p><strong>Take things slow at first.</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t go spending thousands of dollars on clicks when you are starting out, take things slow and get used to how things work before you go spending crazy amounts of money on ads because if you do this wrong you can lose a lot of money very quickly indeed.</p>
<p><strong>Buy ads in small chunks.</strong><br />
If you want to buy 1000 clicks buy them in 20 sets of 50 clicks from different providers instead of buying 1000 clicks from one vendor, by doing this you will minimize the risk of getting scammed from an unscrupulous vendor. Not only that but you will receive more traffic. You see most Solo Ad vendors over deliver by around 10-20 clicks. So if you bought 1000 clicks you could expect to receive 1020 clicks, but if you buy 50 clicks you can expect 60-70 clicks. Multiply that by 20 and you have 1200 &#8211; 1400 clicks, a lot more for you money.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t expect Solo Ad lists to convert like a regular list.</strong><br />
One thing I noticed was the fact my Solo Ad list didn&#8217;t convert as well as my regular list(s) did. Without detailed testing there is no sure way to determine why but my guess is a lot of the people on Solo Ad lists are freebie seekers who are getting passed from Solo Ad provider to Solo Ad provider. Just remember that any subscribers you gain from Solo Ad&#8217;s are not likely to convert as well as a regular subscriber.</p>
<p><strong>Test test test test, then test some more.</strong><br />
The only true way to get any form of paid traffic to work is by testing. You should know your metrics so you can work out how much it costs to gain each subscriber. As you can expect to pay $50+ for 100 clicks you need to be sure you are at the very least getting most of that $50 back. So know how your squeeze page converts, how many people will buy from your funnel and how many people will buy from your recommendations. This is something I wasn&#8217;t doing in the early days and something I quickly realized I needed to do so I could be sure I wasn&#8217;t wasting money.</p>
<p><strong>Only use recommended sources.</strong><br />
This is the big one, just because someone can deliver 100 clicks doesn&#8217;t mean the traffic is genuine. There are a lot of scammers out there who will deliver false clicks or worse still take your money and run. Even if you use a reputable source such as <a href="http://www.safeswaps.net/" target="_blank">Safe Swaps</a> be sure to research each provider and as I said earlier only buy in small chunks. For the record the only source I have purchased Solo Ad&#8217;s from so far is <a href="http://www.safeswaps.net/" target="_blank">Safe Swaps</a>, my advice would be to start there and do your research before buying any ads.</p>
<p><strong>You must have a killer free offer that converts.</strong><br />
First of all most Solo Ad providers will only promote free offers, in fact I quickly found out that getting people to promote a paid offer is almost impossible. So if you want to start paying for Solo Ad&#8217;s make sure you have a killer squeeze page that converts well. You should be looking at converting at least 40% of your traffic into subscribers. <a href="http://simpletrafficsolutions.com/free-traffic-package/" target="_blank">This is the free offer</a> I am sending Solo Ad traffic to at the moment.</p>
<p><strong>You must have a killer sales funnel that converts.</strong><br />
As most Solo Ad providers will only promote free offers we need to try to monetize our site from our sales funnel so make sure you have a killer funnel in place that converts. This usually means making sure that any upsells are directly related to your free offer. You don&#8217;t want to have people opt-in for a traffic product only to upsell them with an eBay related product.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">TIP! If you can just earn enough to pay for your ads or even run at a slight loss from your funnel you&#8217;ve cracked it as this means you are building a list for free or at a very low cost, now you just need to ramp things up.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s my sales funnel in all it&#8217;s glory</p>
<p><a href="http://simpletrafficsolutions.com/free-traffic-package/" target="_blank">Free Offer &#8211; Traffic Package</a></p>
<p>This traffic package is a collection of free material from Simple Traffic Solutions, it consists of an eBook, MindMap and Worksheet. This free offer provides incredible value.</p>
<p><a href="http://simpletrafficsolutions.com/upgrade/" target="_blank"> Upgrade &#8211; Simple Traffic Solutions</a></p>
<p>When you consume the free offer you are regularly given the chance to upgrade, I also use a membership script that locks you out from the paid for content. This shows people what they are missing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>When you try to access paid for content such as training videos.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/grab1.jpg"><img class="wp-image-2596 aligncenter" alt="grab1" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/grab1.jpg" width="470" height="274" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <strong>This message appears.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/grab2.jpg"><img class="wp-image-2602 aligncenter" alt="grab2" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/grab2.jpg" width="463" height="265" /></a></p>
<p>I also push my <a href="http://simpletrafficsolutions.com/upgrade/" target="_blank">upgrade offer</a> via autoresponder email. I am constantly mentioning the benefits of upgrading your membership. Here&#8217;s an example email I send out 24 hours after registration, note how I offer support and start to form a relationship with the subscriber?</p>
<p><em>Hi {!firstname_fix},</em></p>
<p><em>I hope you are enjoying your Simple Traffic Solutions traffic</em><br />

<p><em>Please remember that if you need any help you can contact my</em><br />

<p><em>I also want to make sure you are aware that the Simple Traffic</em><br />
<em>Solutions traffic package covers just a fraction of what is</em><br />
<em>covered in the full program.</em></p>
<p><em>For the price of a small pizza investment you can upgrade your </em><br />
<em>membership to the full package and receive a ton of additional </em><br />

<p><em>http://www.simpletrafficsolutions.com/</em>upgrade</p>
<p><em>Until next time&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>John Thornhill</em></p>
<p><strong>And it doesn&#8217;t stop there, here&#8217;s the email that goes out the next day.</strong></p>
<p><em>Hi {!firstname_fix},</em></p>
<p><em>I hope that you have had time to go through all of your Simple </em><br />
<em>Traffic Solutions traffic package. </em></p>
<p><em>Be sure to check out the Mindmap and Worksheets as these give</em><br />
<em>you instant traffic methods that will help you drive more traffic</em><br />

<em>of additional training material. </em></p>
<p><em>This includes:- </em></p>
<p><em># Over 50 video training modules covering every </em><br />
<em>traffic method in great detail.</em></p>
<p><em># My unique traffic rating system that reveals the best traffic</em><br />
<em>methods for you.</em></p>
<p><em># Even more PDF training modules</em></p>

<p><em>P.S. Remember that your investment is covered by my 60 day no</em><br />
<em>questions asked money back guarantee so there is absolutely no</em><br />
<em>risk.</em></p>
<p><em>http://www.simpletrafficsolutions.com/upgrade</em></p>
<p>Once again it doesn&#8217;t stop there, I keep pushing the upgrade and once someone buys the upgrade offer they are then removed from the free traffic list and added to the paid traffic list where I make further offers. Here&#8217;s an outline of the whole funnel that consists of various products and services I offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/freeoffer.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2614" alt="freeoffer" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/freeoffer.png" width="517" height="88" /></a></p>

<a href="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/webinar.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2622" alt="webinar" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/webinar.png" width="527" height="88" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">This funnel has generated over $200,000 in sales in just over 6 months, and since I started running solo ads I&#8217;ve managed to add thousands of extra subscribers to my list and generate even more sales. As I have already stated I am no Solo Ad expert but I have manage to turn a profit. Once again my advice if you want to try this is to start with <a href="http://www.safeswaps.net/" target="_blank">Safe Swaps</a> and take things easy to start with.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Let me help you build a list from Solo Ad&#8217;s for free.</strong></p>
<p>I know that you may be reading this blog post and you may not have a product of your own or a funnel that can bring the same sort of results. Well the good news is I have a system set up that will enable you to promote the funnel above as an affiliate while you build your list for free.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>That&#8217;s right, I can help you build your list while you earn an affiliate income at the same time.</strong></p>

<p>As always your comments are more than welcome. If you have had any success with Solo Ads and can add some more advice please do so.</p>

In fact MySpace seems a distant memory now and although it was once the Mac Daddy of the social scene I bet the average teenager has never heard of it. This is how fast the social media scene changes online.</p>
<p>Once upon a time, Pinterest was just a fledgling social network, but since late 2010, its popularity has skyrocketed, and now Pinterest is a major player in the Social Media world. One of the main reasons this site is so popular, is because it’s beautiful; Pinterest is all about the images.</p>
<p>You could be forgiven if you haven&#8217;t heard about Pinterest before, as it was somewhat underground for a time, but it can no longer be ignored as a major source of targeted traffic that can be tapped into by the savvy online marketer.</p>
<p>Seriously, wouldn&#8217;t it have been pretty awesome to be in front of the traffic avalanche Facebook could bring, instead of trailing from behind? Where would you be now if only you had known how huge it would be ahead of time? What about Twitter? Were you there in 2006? Did you know it even existed?</p>
<p>Now this great opportunity has reared its head again and this time it’s called “Pinterest”. We&#8217;d be a bit crazy not to harness the power of the pin ahead of this game!</p>
<p>What makes Pinterest different from other social networks is that it is completely made up of pictures. Beautiful images that millions of people pin every day. Vacations, weddings, food, recipes, styles and the new catch-phrase… <a href="http://pinterest.com/bigoak/cool-instructographics/" target="_blank">Instructographics</a>. <strong>(Instructions + Graphics = Instructographics)</strong></p>
<p>What pinners do is repin images from each other&#8217;s boards, or upload their own images to share with other pinners. If you have high quality, beautiful images on your Pinterest boards, then there&#8217;s a very good chance your followers will want to pin them as well, and this is where the magic of the &#8216;repin&#8217; can spread your marketing message far and wide.</p>
<p>So how does this come into play with online marketers? Traffic. And a lot of it! Big, fat, juicy traffic! This is not just some theory. While we were researching Pinterest to see how it was going to play in the social media mania, we did a few of our own experiments.</p>
<p>We knew Pinterest was going to be a great social media site to be able to send traffic to blogs and websites, and there were a few articles about Martha Stewart and how she had increased sales on her website by a few million dollars through Pinterest. We knew we wanted to find the way for other online marketers to tap into this phenomenon.</p>
<p>So we kept searching and researching because we knew there was a way to be able to use Pinterest the way it was meant to be and not do anything black hat or illegal or robotic just to get traffic and followers and we were going to find it!</p>
<p>We took one of our own domains that was empty and hadn&#8217;t been used in a couple of years, loaded it with a fresh installation of WordPress and began posting just a few articles with some related images. We were making some tutorial videos for NonstoPinterest 2.0 and wanted to demonstrate how to set up boards correctly for maximum SEO.</p>
<p>While making the videos, some images from this new site were also pinned to brand-new boards in this brand-new Pinterest account and within hours, there was traffic going to the site! <strong>It was unbelievable just how quickly the Pinterest traffic was sent to this cold, lonely blog!</strong></p>
<p>What happened next was simply amazing! The lonely blog was left alone while we finished developing the product and a few months later, we discovered that the site had continued to receive traffic from Pinterest despite the fact that it hadn’t been updated it in all that time!</p>
<p>Now these traffic numbers weren&#8217;t huge by any means, but it was quite a few hundred unique visits every month over a 5-6 month period and looking at the traffic stats before and after Pinterest was pretty amazing! It was like night and day because before we started using Pinterest on that site, it was only getting 2 maybe 3 vists per month!</p>
<p>With that kind of information and evidence, as a marketer you simply can&#8217;t ignore Pinterest… and here&#8217;s another interesting fact: Pinterest users spend more money from recommendations of other Pinterest users than from any other social network.</p>
<p>The typical Pinterest user is female between the ages of 25 and 50, well educated and earning between $50,000 and $100,000 a year. So, with that kind of money floating about, there is plenty of opportunity for the online marketer to make money on Pinterest. So… Pinterest has traffic and money? Sounds like a marketer’s paradise!</p>
<p>And just like any youngster having a major growth spurt, Pinterest has had some of its own growing pains. At the beginning of 2011, you had to have an invitation to get in and Pinterest accounts could only be used for personal use. In August of 2012, Pinterest was opened up to everybody and you didn&#8217;t need an invitation to get in and in November of 2012, they opened up the site for businesses.</p>
<p>Pinterest for business is probably the best thing they could have done for us as online marketers. The reason it’s great for internet marketers is because before they introduced business accounts, Pinterest tried their hardest to keep marketers off of their site because of all the crazy, black-hat, spam accounts.</p>
<p>During Pinterest’s quick rise to its&#8217; millions of users, there were a lot of questionable tools being developed for Pinterest marketers. There were autobots that could automatically pin images and get followers, which sounded like a good idea for spamming marketers or somebody who wanted to try to beat the system. There were also autobots that could pin affiliate links automatically, and that probably sounded like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be nothing more than a really fast and easy way to get your account suspended or banned.</p>
<p>Pinterest caught on to all the spammy marketers and started cleaning up and deleting accounts. In fact, just a few weeks ago a lot of users lost followers because they weren’t real and Pinterest was taking care of all the accounts that didn&#8217;t have a genuine person attached to it.</p>
<p>With that said, if you want to do anything commercial using Pinterest, you need to be set up as a business account there. By commercial we mean if you&#8217;re going to promote or pin anything that takes the user off of the Pinterest website whether that be for affiliate marketing, lead generation or even simply for driving traffic to a website or blog that has a commercial element to it.</p>
<p>So if you’re pinning from your personal blog for purely recreational purposes or pinning from somebody else&#8217;s blog for that reason then you can do that with a personal account. Practically every other scenario if you&#8217;re not just repinning pictures within the Pinterest site or uploading your own pictures will definitely mean you need to have a <a href="http://business.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest business account</a>. There are so many new and inventive ways of using Pinterest as an online marketer, and everything is covered in NonstoPinterest 2.0 and also our monthly membership site, The Pinner Circle.</p>

This has proven to be one of my most successful launches to date with almost 6000 frontend products sold so far.</p>
<p>The main reason this launch has been so successful is because of the amount of affiliates that have promoted my product. You can drive traffic yourself but the amount of traffic affiliates can drive goes far beyond what you can do on your own. So far I&#8217;ve had 251 affiliates make sales and many have sold hundreds of copies.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s 18 tips for getting more affiliates to promote your stuff.</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Put together an affiliate program.</strong> I have to start with the obvious as some marketers are trying to sell their digital products all on their own. If you are selling digital information then you simply must have an affiliate program. I tend to use ClickBank but there are many more affiliate platforms out there.</p>
<p><strong>2. Create an awesome product.</strong> Again, this may seem obvious but so many marketers sell crappy products that simply don&#8217;t deliver. The result is something that gets negative reviews, tons of refunds and a ruined reputation. You want to create something that affiliates want to promote and that means putting 110% into your product.</p>
<p><strong>3. Your sales copy must be amazing.</strong> When you create a sales page it&#8217;s not just to sell to potential customers,<strong> it&#8217;s to sell to potential affiliates too</strong>. You could create the best product ever but if your copy sucks you can forget getting affiliates on board. My advice is to invest in a professional writing service if this is something you feel you can&#8217;t do yourself. I&#8217;d also recommend going for a graphical sales page, since I started doing this I&#8217;ve had far better results. <a href="http://www.gfx1graphics.com/design_service/" target="_blank">This is the guy I use</a>.</p>
<p><strong>4. Create a comprehensive JV Blog.</strong> Most affiliates create a single affiliates page with everything crammed onto it. This makes it very hard for affiliates to get the information they need. By creating a JV Blog with easy navigation affiliates can find the info they need. <a href="http://simpletrafficsolutions.com/jvblog/" target="_blank">If you need a JV Blog to model try this one</a>. In my opinion it&#8217;s the best JV Blog on the planet <img src="https://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><strong> 5. Have a killer sales funnel.</strong> Top affiliates are looking for maximum returns, this means adding more than one product to your sales funnel. Try to include at least one recurring and one high ticket product in your funnel.</p>
<p><strong>6. Payout commissions on the backend.</strong> If you have a backend operation in place that sells a high ticket product include this in your sales funnel. I guarantee you will have better results. You should also make affiliates aware of the backend commissions they can earn.</p>
<p><strong>7. Give affiliates everything they need to promote your product.</strong> Some affiliates want graphics, some want blog posts, some want email copy. Some want a bonus template, some want social media tools. The secret is to cater for every affiliate by including every single promo tool you can think of. You should also mention that if anyone wants anything personally created just to get in touch.</p>
<p><strong>8. Keep affiliates updated.</strong> There is nothing worse than taking part in a launch only to find the product creator doesn&#8217;t keep you updated. Affiliates want to know how they are doing and how your sales are going so make sure you keep them informed.</p>
<p><strong>9. Don&#8217;t force affiliates to opt-in.</strong> If you force affiliates to opt-in to get to your affiliate page many wont opt-in at all. Give affiliates a choice to register for updates and most will, but don&#8217;t force them.</p>
<p><strong>10. Don&#8217;t change the rules halfway through your launch.</strong> I&#8217;ve seen this happen numerous times, sales requirements change, prizes change, rules change. Do this and you can forget the same affiliates promoting your next launch.</p>
<p><strong>11. Make yourself available.</strong> Don&#8217;t hide behind your support desk, create a personal affiliate email and use that for communicating with your affiliates.</p>
<p><strong>12. Reciprocate.</strong> If someone supports you support them back. (After making sure their product is awesome)</p>
<p><strong>13. Join mastermind groups.</strong> Facebook, forums, email, personal friendships. The JV world is all about relationships. Make sure you are involved in as many groups as possible.</p>
<p><strong>14. Give access to your product to anyone that asks for it.</strong> If someone asks for a review copy of your product give them it, even if you&#8217;ve never heard of the person asking. You never know how much traffic they are capable of driving.</p>
<p><strong>15. Be excited about your product.</strong> The way you talk about your product is important, if you can&#8217;t get your affiliates excited about your product how can you expect them to promote it?</p>
<p><strong>16. Run a JV Competition.</strong> Affiliates love to win prizes and the best way to do this is to offer prizes, wether for the amount of products sold or via a leaderboard. if you can&#8217;t afford to give away any prizes at least create a leaderboard, affiliates love seeing their name on leaderboards and it will give them an added incentive to promote your product.</p>
<p><strong>17. Keep providing fresh email copy.</strong> Whenever you email your affiliates include some fresh email copy. Many will simply copy what you provide and mail out.</p>
<p><strong>18. Educate your affiliates.</strong> Teach them how to get more sales by providing additional training. If you know of any affiliate methods that work share them with your affiliates, They will thank you for it by promoting your product using the methods you teach them.</p>
<p>As you can see a successful launch goes far beyond just offering 100% commissions on the frontend.</p>
<p>Remember that the main thing about getting affiliates to promote your stuff is because of the relationships you build. Get that part right and you will always have affiliates ready to hit send. Don&#8217;t sell your affiliates short, help them to make as much money as possible and they will be there for you time after time.</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ve covered most key areas and I hope you&#8217;ve learned something new. If you like what you have read I would appreciate it if you could &#8216;like&#8217;, comment or share.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are two ways to drive traffic, you can create it or you can buy it. In this blog post I want to talk about creating free traffic as to be frank I&#8217;ve never managed to make paid traffic work for me.</p>
<p>If you do things right you can receive all the traffic your websites can handle and it needn&#8217;t cost you one cent. Here&#8217;s some recent traffic stats from my <a href="http://www.simpletrafficsolutions.com/" target="_blank">latest product launch</a>, as you can see it&#8217;s going very well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.simpletrafficsolutions.com/" rel="attachment wp-att-2179" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2179 aligncenter" title="traffic" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/traffic.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="118" /></a><br />
If there&#8217;s one thing we all know it&#8217;s without traffic any website will fail. However, most people seem to fail at driving enough traffic to make a difference.</p>
<p>So why do so many people fail at driving a significant amount of traffic to their websites?</p>
<p>The first mistake a lot of people make is they think there is some big traffic secret they haven&#8217;t discovered yet. Some loophole that will enable them to drive tons of visitors without lifting a finger, and this is what they look for, some automated system that will end their traffic problems. Let me tell you that no matter what you see or hear <strong>no such system or loophole exists</strong>, if you want to drive any real amount of traffic for free it&#8217;s going to take some work, and this is where things start to go wrong.</p>
<p>Do you know that most of the methods I use to drive traffic work extremely well and always have done. Methods such as:-</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Blogging (I&#8217;m doing it right now)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Forum Marketing</strong></li>
<li><strong>Guest Blogging</strong></li>
<li><strong>Social Networking</strong></li>
<li><strong>Giveaways</strong></li>
<li><strong>Integration Marketing</strong></li>
<li><strong>Ad Swaps</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>These are all methods I use a lot and they work very well, but then most people know these methods work. Yet so many people don&#8217;t implement them because it takes work and they are looking for a traffic loophole where they don&#8217;t have to work.</p>
<p>You need to realize if you want to drive free traffic it&#8217;s going to take effort on your behalf. If you get this then you are halfway there, however, just driving traffic is not enough, what about when the visitor reaches your website?</p>
<p>Again, this is where a lot of people fail, if you create a blog full of garbage content and affiliate links what happens? The visitor leaves within seconds never to return. Or if you create a sales page that looks like it was put together in half an hour what happens? <strong>The visitor leaves within seconds never to return</strong>.</p>
<p>This is why you must put 100% effort into everything you create, you want to leave the visitor wanting more, if they want more they will opt-in to your mailing list or buy your product. Then you can generate repeat traffic.</p>
<p>Let me ask you, have you been to this blog before? The chances are you have and if you have you should get what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>So let me leave you with this. Firstly, getting traffic isn&#8217;t hard, as long as you understand getting traffic takes work and getting repeat visitors takes work you will be fine. If you are not prepared to work then you may as well forget it. Secondly, when a visitor hits your site they must have a positive experience. Give them anything less and they will probably leave never to return.</p>
<p><strong>Ok John, I get that and I am prepared to put some work in, what&#8217;s next?</strong></p>
<p>My advice would be to take things back to basics, you may already know what works or you may not. If not why not check out <a href="http://www.simpletrafficsolutions.com/" target="_blank">Simple Traffic Solutions</a>, for a mere $4.95 I reveal every single traffic method I use that works for me and every method is 100% free. You will also find out how I managed to generate the type of traffic that can make a real difference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/the-problem-with-traffic-loopholes/web-traffic-thermometer-popularity-increasing/" rel="attachment wp-att-1523"><img class="alignright  wp-image-1523" title="Web Traffic Thermometer - Popularity Increasing" alt="" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fotolia_31512500_XS.jpg" width="109" height="94" /></a>One thing I quickly realized when I got started online was the fact I needed to generate quite a lot of traffic to my websites if I was to make any money online. It&#8217;s no good sending a handful of visitors to your offers. If you want to be truly successful you need to be sending thousands of visitors to your offers every single day.</p>
<p>In the early days I fell for the paid traffic scams that promised a huge amount of traffic for a small investment! None of those methods delivered any results, the ‘hit’s were probably automated or from visitors that were so un-targeted that they would never bring any real results.</p>
<p>So I tried my hand at PPC (Pay Per Click) traffic, mostly Google AdWords and Facebook ads, with that comes a whole new level of stress, first of all you have to set up your campaign, have it approved, bid for keywords, track results, etc. This was something I was never able to turn into a profit as I was always having to pay over $1 per click for decent keywords. So after losing a few thousand dollars and wasting hundreds of hours researching and testing I decided I wasn’t going to pay for my traffic.</p>
<p>Then I tried my hand at SEO. (Search Engine Optimization) Unfortunately, with the vast amount of competition out there, there’s just no easy way to approach SEO. Plus I have heard horror stories of people spending years perfecting an SEO method that starts to bring results only to see the mighty Google change its algorithm and the traffic stops overnight.</p>
<p>You see, <strong>the problem with paid traffic and organic search engine traffic is it can disappear overnight</strong>. If you remember the famous Google slap a few years ago that basically put thousands of marketers out of business overnight by making PPC keywords so expensive they couldn’t be bid on you will know what I mean.</p>
<p>Then we’ve had the famous penguin and panda updates that have seen poor quality websites disappear off the search results altogether. While this is not a bad thing if you provide quality content it did kill off thousands of businesses.</p>
<p>Thankfully I don’t have to worry too much about anything the mighty Google does, <strong>in fact Google could close tomorrow and it would have very little impact on the amount of traffic I receive</strong>. That’s because I have learned tons of traffic generation methods that bring in thousands of visitors to my websites every single day and most of them don’t involve Google, and it’s these methods that you should be incorporating into your traffic efforts.</p>
<p><strong>So how do we drive targeted traffic to our websites or affiliate offers for free?</strong></p>
<p>Simple! You stop looking for traffic systems, hacks and loopholes that promise traffic for doing very little and focus on traffic methods that you know work.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s 3 examples of traffic methods that work really well:-</strong></p>
<p><strong>Posting to your blog (I&#8217;m doing this right now)</strong><br />
When did you last post to your blog? If it&#8217;s more than one month then shame on you, adding fresh content to your blog is one of the best traffic generation techniques out there, it also helps you interact with your followers. If you can try to get into the habit of posting to your blog at least 2-3 times per month and more often if you can.</p>
<p><strong>Commenting on other peoples blogs</strong><br />
How often do you comment on other peoples blogs? I bet it&#8217;s not as often as you should, again this is one of the most overlooked traffic generation techniques. A well written comment with a backlink can drive highly targeted traffic to your to your blog, product or service. You could start by leaving me a comment on this post.</p>
<p><strong>Being active in forums?</strong><br />
Are you active in any forums? By active I mean posting daily, gaining a following and gaining respect from other forum users. A well written comment on a forum can drive tons of traffic to your websites. For example if you were an expert blogger you would be getting involved in blogging related forums and providing valuable advice. You would have a signature in your forum post to drive traffic back to your website. Of course the signature would be related to the forum you are involved with, you would also look for posts related to the offer you are making via your signature.</p>
<p>Again this is a highly effective traffic generation technique that works very well. In fact I know there are people on the Warrior Forum <strong>who use this single technique alone to earn a full time living</strong>.</p>
<p>I promise if you spent an hour a day implementing the 3 traffic generation methods I&#8217;ve just mentioned you would probably drive enough traffic to earn a full time income after a few months. Of course it depends on the work you put in, the value in your content and the offer(s) you are promoting but it could be done.</p>
<p>However, there is a problem with these traffic generation methods. They involve work, in fact almost every free traffic generation technique involves work and this is the reason most people wont do anything. They want traffic right now and they don&#8217;t want to put any work in, so they will go looking for traffic systems or buy into traffic generation scams that will never bring real results.</p>
<p>There are a ton of free traffic generation methods out there, unfortunately most (if not all) involve work, never forget that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Just so you know that I know what I&#8217;m talking about here&#8217;s a<br />
traffic report for just one of my servers for July 2012.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/the-problem-with-traffic-loopholes/traffic_stats/" rel="attachment wp-att-1940"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1940" title="traffic_stats" alt="" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/traffic_stats.jpg" width="539" height="678" /></a>So stop looking for traffic &#8216;loopholes&#8217; and traffic &#8216;systems&#8217; as this is not the way to build real targeted traffic over long periods. Focus on methods you know work, I&#8217;ve just gave you 3 examples, there are a lot more.</p>

<p>In the early days of your websites life you might wonder where your next visitor is coming from!</p>
<p>You thought you had done all the hard work in building your site. Surely it is only time before floods of traffic crash your server? (If only)</p>
<p>Giving up is not an option but what is wrong, is it you, is it the content on your site, just what are you doing wrong?</p>
<p>Well the truth of the matter is that you are probably not doing much wrong at all! Some sites take years before they become popular but that&#8217;s not very comforting as you need traffic now. Well the good news is with a little patience and a proven traffic generation strategy you can soon create a flow of traffic to any website.</p>
<p>This is of course assuming that you are offering something that people want? If so it is only a matter of letting them know where to find it.</p>
<p>You can spend a fortune on paying for traffic and in my experience it is an area which should be approached with caution. An ill advised campaign here and some vastly overpriced keywords there and you will very soon be soon over budget and probably out of pocket.</p>
<p>Using free methods of traffic generation can be time consuming and require you putting in some effort but unless you have a huge budget, going down the route of free targeted traffic is always the best option.</p>
<p>You have probably tried some free traffic methods and had some success but gave up because you weren’t sure what worked best for you, here&#8217;s 3 methods I have found to work very well.</p>
<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s 3 Top Traffic Tips</strong>:-</p>
<p><strong>1, Blog &amp; Forum Commenting</strong> &#8211; This is a fantastic way to generate free traffic back to your website. Simply look for blogs &amp; forums related to your niche and submit quality comments.</p>
<p>Both blog commenting and forum posting can bring lots of targeted traffic to your site but for me forum posting just edges it.</p>
<p>When you comment on a blog, that post soon moves down and sometimes out of the picture quicker than a forum post. With a forum post, you can join a thread that stays around for as long as people post comments to it.<br />
There is an art to forum posting and if you just go along and say ‘nice one’ or ‘that’s just what I was looking for’ you will just get ignored.</p>
<p>Provide <strong>quality comments</strong> on blogs and forums and you will get noticed. Provide thought provoking topics on a popular forum and you can have thousands of eyeballs on your signature following your link back to your site. There are actually people on the Warrior Forum who do exactly this and earn a full time income from this type of traffic generation method alone.</p>
<p><strong>2, Article Writing </strong>&#8211; Some people think this is no longer a good way to drive free traffic but let me assure you it is. As long as you write interesting articles for humans to read and not some spammy re-spun article that is worthless to anyone reading it.</p>
<p>Article writing should be approached as if you were telling an interesting story. It could be a story which leads you from title to author resource box by giving a solution to a problem but above all it should leave the reader wanting more. When writing an article don&#8217;t hold back, share everything you know and this will make people interested in your paid offers.</p>
<p><strong>3, Writing Guest Articles For Blogs</strong> &#8211; Blog owners love unique quality content for their blogs and if you can get your articles published on other marketers blogs this will help get the word out about your website/offer. Again your article should be the best quality it can be and it should also be 100% unique for the blog it is published on.</p>
<p>Make sure you tell the blog owner that your article will be written exclusively for their blog and explain any benefits this will bring and you will find many blog owners take you up on your offer. I know this method works as you are reading my article on John&#8217;s blog <img src="https://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>There you go, 3 simple traffic generation techniques that will provide your website with all the traffic it can handle.</p>
<p>These 3 methods are just a few of the tried and tested methods used in the <a href="http://www.30daytrafficflow.com/launch_special/" target="_blank">30 Day Traffic Flow System</a>. I designed it when my own traffic generating attempts began to frustrate me. There are many methods of traffic generation inside the member’s area and a spreadsheet which when used on a daily basis will let you know how you are doing against your targets. Not all methods of targeted traffic generation work for everyone and you can soon drop the ones that are not working and increase the ones that are.</p>
<p>As the name suggests you will create a flow of traffic within 30 days. Depending on your efforts this flow could turn into a flood. You do have to put some effort into it, but once set up, you can pick and choose your battles.</p>
<p>If you are struggling to get targeted traffic to your site or offer 30 Day Traffic Flow could be just what you need. There are many reports inside which could easily sell individually for more than the price of the whole system!</p>
