How to Drive Targeted Traffic to Your Website
Targeted Traffic is the lifeblood of your online business and is one of the most important factors to ensure the success of any website. Targeted Traffic is focused on directing a perspective customer who knows what they want to a supplier who has what they want and is what drives any online business.
Targeted traffic is the key to success and if your website is not what your visitor is searching for, then that visitor will not convert into a paying customer.
Targeted traffic is the key to higher website conversion and more sales and is simply traffic from sources and locations that are relevant to your site.
Targeted traffic is very important because without it you won’t make sales. Targeted visitors are people who want to be on your site because they are looking for exactly what you are offering.
Targeted traffic is the single most important factor contributing to genuine long-term financial success online. Traffic is nothing more than the number of hits or visitors to your site, but targeted traffic is the number of potential customers who visit your site.
It has been shown that a smaller amount of targeted traffic is more likely to spend money than a larger amount of non-targeted traffic.
One of the ways to increase your targeted traffic is by writing articles, like this one. Make sure your Article relates to the overall theme of your website and what you are offering and contains keywords which are necessary to have your Article picked up by the different search engines.
Another key to attracting targeted traffic is to set up a Blog and clearly identify your Blog’s niche. Make sure your Blog is centered around or dedicated to whatever you’re promoting and is updated on a regular basis.
If you’d like to increase the number of targeted visitors to your website, write and submit a couple of press releases to leading Public Relations distribution websites. You not only get prospects looking for information about your subject but you also get indexed by search engines very quickly.
Another way to attract targeted traffic is to use targeted keywords and key phrases to really pull in those visitors. The secret to getting more targeted visitors is to appear at the top of the search engine rankings for many different search terms.
One other method of gaining more targeted traffic is to create a newsletter for your opt-in list or subscription list. You can also use your newsletter as an offer to entice more people to give their vital information such as name and email address before entering your website to help add to your list.
You can also create an electronic magazine or ezine. Again make sure that it deals with the topics on your site and this will result in more traffic and, more importantly, in more targeted traffic.
Discussion forums are another good way to start your marketing campaign. You can start posting or answering questions at leading forums. This will enhance your presence and as more people get to know you a relationship will form and people will trust you.
In order to get traffic from the forums, you must put your signature in your profile, which is 3 or 4 lines of text with a link to your site or the affiliate’s website strategically placed.
One final method which I believe to be the most important strategy for driving targeted traffic to your website is a content rich site or Blog. Content drives traffic which drives sales and good quality content will bring visitors back again and again. These visitors will begin to tell other people about your site and before you know it you’ll have an email list of thousands.
Attracting targeted traffic is a task that should be taken seriously for any online business to succeed. If you’ve owned your own website for any length of time you’ve realized that targeted traffic can be very difficult to attract. The bottom line is lots of targeted traffic is essential for the success of any online commercial enterprise.

This is my new Blog and having been away from it for a couple of years it’s great to be back because I really enjoy it. Just to tell you something about myself, my wife and I are currently working with Autistic adults in the state of Maine and we love it. Although we’re from Canada, originally from Newfoundland, this is our second stint working in Maine and the two men we are working with this time around are great. We’ve become very attached to these young men and we consider ourselves to be a family. Actually our job title is that of Therapeutic Foster Parents and of course we take it very seriously. One of the main reasons we take it so seriously is that we are advocates for these young men because at times they can’t speak for themselves.
The sad part about our job here in Maine is that we have to leave the country after 18 months. The reason for this being the company who hired us and sponsored us into the US could only get us into the country by way of a Training Visa with the main condition being we have to leave after 18 months. We were here under the same circumstances in 2007 and had to leave the guys we were caring for at that time at the end of 2008.
This of course was very difficult for the three men we were working with and living with at the time and it was also very difficult for us because we became very attached and as I mentioned earlier we became a family. One of the main benefits of coming back is that we get to see the guys we worked with on our first visit and we also get to do what we enjoy which is caring for and helping these young men.
Because of our love for what we do and for the people we work with I will be dedicating a Page on this website to Autism and to the people who live with it on a daily basis. I’m hoping this will help educate people who aren’t familiar with what is fast becoming a global concern and help to raise funds for research.
The other objective of this website is to offer Home Business advice and present opportunities to people who are interested in making a legitimate living by working from home.
I’m hoping to have a great deal of relevant content added soon and I hope people will make it a point to visit often. Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to read this information.
The following two videos should give you some idea of the majestic beauty of Newfoundland:
I’ve added a video below, one of which is actually an advertisement by a local brewery located in St. John’s, Newfoundland which is where I’m from. But it contains some great shots of the area and I like to think portrays what we, as Newfoundlanders, are all about: People who care about people, who work hard and play hard but aren’t afraid to laugh at ourselves. In the following videos you will see many examples of this outlook on life as portrayed by local entertainers performing at what we call “Kitchen Parties”.
These are events where neighbours come together to have a few drinks and entertain one another through song and dance. Please take the time to have a look.
