Are You Making These Traffic Mistakes? Ask just about any online marketer on the planet if they have enough traffic, and I bet the answer is “no.” Even the marketers who’re pulling down the huge traffic numbers want more traffic. And the reason is pretty simple: because more traffic equals more customers, more sales and more cash. However, while most marketers want more traffic, there’s also a good chunk of marketers who’re making some deadly traffic mistakes. That’s right, they’re shooting themselves in the foot and settling for a trickle of traffic when they could be so much more. Are you making these deadly traffic and marketing mistakes too? Find out by reading on… Mistake 1: Cherry-Picking Traffic Methods You’ve probably read a ton of books, blog posts, articles and other materials about getting traffic. Maybe you’ve even started developing a plan for which traffic methods you’re going to use and which ones you’re going to skip. Hold up there for a second… If you’re completely skipping a traffic method because you think or even know that it won’t work, then that’s one thing. For example, trying to generate traffic from some decade-old, untargeted source like a “start page” exchange is pretty fruitless. If you read about this in some old traffic report then yeah… feel free to ignore it. What I’m talking about are ignoring proven traffic methods that are sure to bring targeted traffic to your site. For example: • You don’t feel like building a list or publishing a blog, because you don’t really feel like developing and committing to a publishing schedule. •
You don’t want to get joint venture partners or affiliates, because you’re happier working alone.
• You thumb your nose at social media, even though your target market is young and known to hang out on Facebook all day. So what if there is a traffic method that you don’t really feel like doing? Then hire someone to do it for you. Because if you want to build a thriving business, don’t skip over a promising traffic method just because you don’t feel like doing it yourself.
