PPC Advertising
PPC and SEO are related except for the fact that SEO is organic traffic that you can get for free by optimizing your website for popular keywords. PPC is when you bid on placement in the search engines. You can basically buy the position you want your ads to appear, but it will cost you every time someone clicks on your ad.
Email Auto Responder Marketing
Email marketing is the process of using an autoresponder to capture a potential customers email info. Once you have a contact list, you can continually market to them through email correspondence.
Article Marketing:
Article marketing is a great way to drive traffic to your site and brand your business at the same time. The key is to write articles that provide valuable content and leave a link back to your site in the author’s bio.
Forums:
A forum is a gathering of people with the same interest. You can generate traffic through forums by participating in the discussions and leaving a link to your website in your forum signature. Forums also generate traffic through the search engines.
There are other powerful marketing techniques such as social media marketing, press releases, and marketing with ezines. The techniques I listed are my favorites because they generate traffic that is targeted. Whenever someone can join your list, search for you through the search engines or follow your link in a forum, it means that they are interested in your products. Interested visitors simply put converts better than non targeted visitors.
