You may have a online business that sells other people’s products or your own products. Whatever your online business is, we need to generate a lot of traffic to our website. But what is most important is not just getting traffic, but targeted traffic.

When I first started internet marketing, I learned about many techniques on traffic generation. Some of the software or services that I bought did me no good.

However, I have found three methods of getting traffic to my site or affiliate product or service: 

* Text Link Advertisements

Text links can either be paid or free. The paid methods are paying for your link to be shown in Ezines, newsletters or on other peoples’ sites. Make sure you need the traffic from that source before buying advertising space to make the most out of your money. In most cases, if ezines are accepting advertising, you know they must have at least 500+ subscribers, or I should say, be sure that they have at least 500+ subscribers before advertising in their ezine.

One of the unpaid models is through article marketing . If you keep doing this, it will definitely make a good impact in your business. Keep in mind, your articles should be relevant and address the subject matter of your site and products.

* Pay-Per-Click

If you have the money to invest in your advertising, advertise through pay per click. Here you create an ad or ads relevant to your affiliate program, and place a bid on the keywords you select. This takes time, energy, persistence and money  and research unless you know the google secret loophole by now. I would advise that you read your affiliate programs and pay per click rules before doing pay per click.

* Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization is basically the optimization of your web pages so that you can get a decent ranking by the search engines. You may have to outsource the optimization of your website as this may be time consuming.

These are just some of the most effective ways for traffic generation.
