5 Simple and
Easy Ways to Advertise Online
By: Tim "TeeJay" Gilligan
Some people say that advertising
is everything!
Regardless if you have a product, a service, a
hobby website or just want to share pictures of
your wedding, you have to advertise somehow to get
the traffic to your site or blog.
But not all traffic is equal.
There are services that can help you drive tons
and tons of traffic to your site and it won't do
you any good at all because it's not targeted
traffic.
Take for example all of the many different 'surf
for traffic' or 'traffic clicking' programs that
are out there. If you have a website that is about
your hobby, say model airplanes, then what good is
this traffic really going to do you?
Who's using these services?
Webmasters and marketers that want traffic on
their own site.
That's who.
So they most likely won't spend
any more time on your page than is required by the
little timer these services use and then they are
gone again.
Even if your site is about these
traffic services (this is about the only time you
will see very much benefit from using such a tool)
you will still have to spend a ton of time just
surfing and clicking around to get a real benefit
from these programs.
Once marketers realized this they
switched gears. They started promoting all the
different programs to a lot of other marketers to
get them in their downlines, so they could get
some traffic as a bonus.
This became their new focus.
The problem is that everyone else
did exactly the same thing, so not a lot of people
were surfing the internet anymore.
Bottom-line is this. You need targeted traffic.
So here are some tips on how you
can generate exactly the traffic you need and
bring the visitors you want to your website
without having to chase after them.
1. Content
What is your website about?
Do you just have a page with a
lot of links and not much else?
If this is the case, think about adding some
content to your website that will be of value to
any potential visitors. You could write articles
or find articles at one of the many directories
that you can reprint on your site.
2. Talk about your experiences in your subject
matter.
You don't have to put up some kind of resume
(although that can work too), but rather try
writing about what you are doing, as it relates to
your topic of choice.
Let's look at the model airplanes
again briefly, you could talk or write about the
latest plane type you built, how the last time
flying your plane went, what challenges you run
into or perhaps even post some pictures of your
plane or of you flying it.
3. Forums and bulletin boards.
You could add a forum or bulletin board to your
website where your visitors can interact with each
other. There are a lot of free services available
out there that you can use to either remotely host
a forum for you, or even software you can install
on your website's server.
To find some of these, just head
over to your favorite search engine and you will
definitely find plenty to choose from.
And while you are visiting the search engine, why
not run a search for any bulletin boards and
forums that are already out there for your chosen
topic?
You could visit those and
interact with the visitors there and since many
allow you to post a signature or a profile, you
could add a little line about your own site with a
link (just check the rules of the forum first so
you don't violate any of them).
4. Start a blog.
Blogs are very popular and search engines love
them because they provide constantly new and fresh
content. Your blog would be a great place to talk
about what you are up to that day.
So if you spent some time today
buying new parts for your plane you could write
about where you found them, how much they cost
you, why you chose those parts, anything really
goes.
The really great part about this is that you can
point links from your blog back to your website,
so when the search engine stops by to grab and
index your latest content, it will also stop by
your website and you will start seeing very
targeted traffic heading your way.
5. Write articles.
Writing articles isn't hard and can be a great
source of fresh, new traffic to your website.
There are a lot of e-zines on any
topic out there and there are also a lot of
directories where you can share your article.
Basically, what you do is write an article and
then add a small resource box that links back to
your website (just like a signature) and then let
other e-zine publishers know that you are allowing
them to print your article in their e-zine.
And many publishers go to the
article directories to find new content for their
newsletter and even their websites. And since
there are websites and e-zine newsletters on any
imaginable topic out there, you can't lose.
Write an article every couple of
days and post it in the directories (even one a
week or every two weeks will start getting you
traffic).
Very soon you will find new traffic coming from
search engines, newsletters and websites.
Best of all, these 5 simple tips will bring
targeted traffic, meaning the visitors are coming
to you because they are interested in what you
wrote.
So there you have it, 5 easy and simple ways to
advertise and drive traffic to your website at
absolutely no cost.

Hello Everyone,
My apologies for this edition
being a day late. I was up at the Bay Pines VA
hospital yesterday for some extensive medical
tests.
My wife and I had to go up there on Thursday and
get checked into the hotel room that they had set
up for us so that i could check into the hospital
at 6:30 AM on Friday for all of the various tests
they were going to run on me on Friday.
It's a 150 mile ride from Ft.
Myers up to the Tampa area where the hospital is
located and the VA always provides us with a hotel
room when I have to go up there for these kinds of
tests.
They did a heart catheterization
along with a CAT scan and all kinds of blood work
on me and I'll be getting the results back in a
few days.
They did these same tests on me
last year and everything turned out to be okay so
I'm hoping that I'll get the same kind of results
I got last year. I'll find out when I go back to
my primary care doctor here in Ft. Myers in March.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm finally
doing away with my Earthlink e-mail address after
many years because of a lot of "deliverability
problems".
For some unknown reason, Earthlink
has set themselves up as my personal e-mail
censoring entity and they are refusing to allow
some of my e-mails to go into my inbox.
After many calls to their customer
service and always getting some damn fool idiot
with a re-set button in the middle of their
forehead and a rag wrapped around their head and a
very poor command of the English language, I've
decided to just stop fighting with them and just
change my e-mail service to an American company
with English speaking customer service people.
My new e-mail address will be:
teejayenterprises [at]
centurylink.net
Please
change your records accordingly. Thank You.
I'll still be able to receive
e-mails sent to my Earthlink address during the
change over period.
Okay, I've written a couple of
interesting as well as informative articles for
you that I've included in today's edition.

Quick Tips To Get Traffic
By: Tim "TeeJay" Gilligan
Many who decide to put up a website and make a
living online have the idea that traffic to
their site will not be a problem. "If I build
it, they will come." It seems to be a popular
approach for a lot of webmasters.
The sad truth is that traffic doesn't just
show up at your website without some planned,
consistent effort on your part. They aren't
knocking your front door down just because you
have a fantastic looking website.
Someone once said: "Running a business without
advertising, is like winking in the dark. You
know what you are doing, but no one else
does."
If you are needing more traffic to your site,
here are three specific approaches, or tips as
I like to call them, that are guaranteed to
work:
Tip # 1 -- BUY SOME TRAFFIC
One of the fastest ways to get some traffic is
to buy it. Google AdWords is one of the better
known and largest place for you to throw some
money at this traffic issue.
You pay only for actual clicks on your Google
ad to your site or affiliate link, but you
need to be careful and watch your advertising
budget. It can get quite expensive if you end
paying for clicks that aren't producing sales.
Be sure to track your ads to determine your
return on investment (ROI) for your keywords
and search engine.
As a note there are several other places
beside Google to buy PPC traffic. Yahoo.com,
Amazon.com, MSN.com and dozens of other places
provide the option of PPC traffic.
They all operate about the same way. You only
pay for targeted visitors to your site who
have clicked on one of your ads.
Tip # 2 -- BORROW TRAFFIC FROM OTHERS
Locate those who have mailing lists related to
your area and ask them to post an ad in their
list in exchange for a link on your site.
If you have your own mailing list, you could
propose an ad swap. "I'll run your ad in my
list; You run my ad in your list." You might
have to offer a commission to the publisher to
induce them into running your ad. That way
they make a profit on it too.
You can locate these prospective publishers at
a good search engine or publications like the
Directory of Ezines.com. Be sure to target
publishers who readers will be receptive to
the type of offer your ad is offering.
If you are selling something to do with
internet marketing, your targeted readers
should be those interested in marketing on
line.
Tip # 3 -- BUILDING YOUR OWN TRAFFIC
One of my favorite and time-tested ways to
promote and market on line is to write and
publish original articles. Other newsletter
publishers will sometimes reprint my articles
and send them out to their readers.
To save a lot of work and aggravation when
sending these articles out to publishers and
article directories, you may want to consider
a distribution service like iSnare.com . For a
nominal charge you can have your articles
widely distributed in a very short time. You
get what you pay for and this is one service
that has proven its worth.
Be sure to include a resource box at the end
of your article so that interested readers may
follow your link to your site or your
affiliate link you are promoting. Ideally your
article has prepared the reader and motivated
them to be receptive for the type of offer you
are making in your resource box.
Write many articles. Publish and distribute
lots of articles.
If you will consistently apply these three
traffic tactics, or tips, discussed above, you
will benefit from it with lots of traffic and
permanent links (more or less) to your site
which can benefit you for years to come.
