Traffic Building Myths Part 4 - And Still More Myths

Traffic building can be one of the most important things you do online – of course, you have to learn to convert, but still, you have to have the traffic to convert. It is like there are cornerstones to internet marketing – and traffic is one of the cornerstones – you have to have it.

And I think that is why people fall for traffic scams. You see, there is no short cut to good traffic. You can create shortcuts to lots of things online, but not really traffic.

So what are some more of the most popular myths online?

JV giveaways are good for you. Hmmm – I fell for that one. Sent a lot of traffic (good quality traffic, I might add) to some JV giveaways. Then they stopped spending as much with me, or at least that’s how I saw it. Think about this – if you are one of 5 people emailing your list daily, you have a chance of getting some sales, right? But if you send your subscribers to a giveaway that captures your subscribers’ email everytime they download a free gift, and they download 30, for example, now they are on 30 lists instead of 5. What is that going to do to your response rate? I think this is one of the myths that even the big dogs continue to fall for – and they don’t understand why the responsiveness of their leads are going down.

Ezine advertising is the best. Hmmm – this one is hit or miss. You must be willing to test, and test a lot. If you cannot afford to buy at least 10 different sources or ezine advertising so you can compare (some ezines might not even mail your offer at all), you might as well not do it. Better to do emailing swaps with list builders on your list. I would much rather write an article than an ezine ad – and usually I get a better return on my time and money.

So what do I like for traffic building? Bottom line, I write articles just like this one and post to places just like this.
