Increasing traffic

I thank one and all for providing your valuable feedback, especially @Philippe Moisan and Kevin Brutschea for your good discussion.

Heyyy, that's cheating Phil, LOL

@Kevin,

Answer : the one that converts :)

@samichh- LOL, but I bet it made sense when you herad it in your head. But you are correct. Traffic is just traffic unless it stays and buys something. So, here's a question:
What has more success: Website that looks like a business, or one that looks like a salesletter?

That's true, dear -
traffic is traffic from any point of view...
but business is business!..
)))
oh, my God!.. stupid thing said..
ha-ha.......

Good article & good comments on it also.

Copywriting skills come in handy, cause no matter how awesome your graphics are, the words do most the work, IMO

Thanks for sharing .... But traffic exchanges at the moment only deliver traffic and nothing else, if not used properly... As rightly said above that if we are not using splash / pages with short contents then the TE traffic is useless as in 15 sec time visitors don;t have time to read the contents fully.....

"nice thing is that we may just snare a "guru" in our net which will give us access to their "list" "

Bad Kevin wants to make money with gurus, I will report you to the World Internet Gurus Council LOL

As the writer also clearly states in her text:
"There are many strategies for increasing the webtraffic in which increasing traffic through traffic exchanges is one of them"

They are a great choice, but only one of many.

I agree that TE's are a nice source of traffic.

In regards to how effective they are I really think that Kevin has a valid point. Personally I only use splash/capture pages on TE's because the visitor has somewhere from 6-10 maybe 20 seconds to view the page.

If they see a generic webpage, that is what they will think and click to the next site. However, if you create a great splash and show some of the best benefits as headlines with a signup form, perhaps even throw in a little gift to r

@Phil, LOL, our discussion is turning into it's own article.

@Charles I think the number one mistake newbies, and some veterans (myself included) make,is that we use TE's to drive traffic to directlt to our sites. What is usually more effective is to drive traffic to a lead capture/splash page to get the prospective customer's contact info. We all want to go right after the sale, but list building is far more important. Plus, the nice thing is that we may just snare a "guru" in our net which

Good point, Kevin.

You know what ? Tour 2nd comment completes the first one, IMHO, making the point clear. Nice work, Kevin.

I do agree that one short paragraph is not really an article. As a matter of fact, I chose to top it because of the interesting discussion you and I have including skycom's comment.

Generating traffic through Traffic Exchanges (TEs) is one way to drive traffic to your website. However, I have not found TEs to be effective for traffic generation. Creating a website that is search engine friendly is still my most preferred method for attracting visitors; and it does not cost a whole lot.

I understand what you're saying Phil and I agree, to a point. I was trying to point out that some write articles that are not articles but SPAM. I could write : "TE's are good, here's a bunch of them", but is that truely an article, and will someone come back to my next article? I merely wanted to make Indian Girl aware of this.

@Kevin, putting links and recommendations in an article is not SPAM when you are the author. You write the article and try to choose a good headline to attract readers, then you use your credits to launch a campaign to make people see your work. That's advertising, it's 100 % legitimate.

Once members get here, they are not unsolicited people, they came to get more info.

I agree with skycom, I would like for Indian Girl to edit her article and add the TEs she uses that give her results.

There are many free ways to drive traffic to your site. Some are better than others. Traffic exchanges are good if you can afford to upgrade or if you have time to click links and review pages.

you have achieve my heart by this method.thanks

I agree with Enam. Although traffic exchanges increase the amount of visitors, most visitors don't stay. If you want traffic because it will earn you cash do this method. If you want traffic that is going to join your site and be active choose another method. I found that social networking sites are the best for generating quality traffic.
