The Google sandbox sucks. When you’ve put a lot of hard work or hard-earned money into your site, only to see it blip up on Google for an instant and then completely disappear, it can be enough to make you want to give up.

Even when you know your site is just in the sandbox, it can be easy to forget about it. Don’t! Giving your site some love is essential to coming back up on the radar – sometimes in a very good spot!

But all the work you’re doing doesn’t have to be just for the future. There are plenty of ways to get traffic that doesn’t involve any search engine whatsoever! Here are 3 of them. Read the rest of this entry

Internet marketing is not like it used to be. Today, everybody is trying to get in on the act. Even small niches often have plenty of sites vying for Google’s attention. However, what can you do to stand out and get consistent traffic?

Update Your Site

This is probably the single most important element to getting consistent traffic. After all, if you don’t show your site some love, then why should Google?

And it is not just search engine traffic that you will help out by updating. The more you update your site, the better your chances of being blogged about, socially bookmarked or being linked to on a related site.

So you finally got your niche site up. You put up ten, maybe fifteen or twenty pages of content about your niche and put some damn good affiliate links on those pages. You have sent out some articles to get good organic backlinks, traded a few links here and there.

Maybe you discreetly bought some links to your site to give it that extra push to get that consistent website traffic. Then you made a couple of blog posts on a good site like Blogger, linked back to your site, and pinged it. You moved on to another site and waited for a while so that your first site could get out of the sandbox.

Finally, after a while, it made it! Your site has a little bit of age on it, and Google shows a bit of love. A few people see your site and maybe decide to link to it — you have probably even been socially bookmarked. The site is starting to rank well with Google, and you are making a few affiliate sales, maybe even a lot. Read the rest of this entry

This is because keywords are the most vital part of a website, and they determine where your ranking sits with search engines. This, in turn, determines just how visible and available your website is to readers who are looking for something related to what you’re offering. With the importance of keywords being so high, it is necessary for you to implement using a tool to help you determine which keywords are the right ones to use. The Google Keywords Tool is one such tool.

If your business is struggling in the recession, there’s probably no way you’d consider spending money employing people to sort out your website for you. You might think that in the current economic climate there are surely much more important things to be spending your cash on – you need to keep your business afloat and it’s tough enough just keeping stores open, let alone expanding online as well. It may be a logical thought but ignoring the potential of the online market completely is probably one of the worst decisions a business owner could make right now. In fact, almost all the businesses that are still doing well in spite of the recession are succeeding because they have a strong online presence, and are bringing in new customers through Google. Remember, times may be hard for businesses but they are also hard for consumers, and an increasing number of people are turning to the internet rather than the high street for the best deals on all kinds of products.

No matter how good your copy is, and no matter how smart and creative you are, without traffic, you are dead.  The fancy graphics don’t matter, the best products don’t matter either if you are not getting anyone to see the website.  Traffic is always the end game for anyone trying to publish ads or sell anything on the web.  It seems like its a mystery to most, as most products sold on the web focuses on content, PPC (which is not bad, but also very hard to get right), or management products to help with productivity.  Very few actually work on where the heck you get traffic from.
