There are many ways to driving traffic to a website, depending on your budget and the time you have available to work on building your online business.

This article lists the most powerful and low cost ways to generate traffic to your website.

  • #1. Offer free reports and content. Giving away some freebies and including your website URL in those freebies is an effective and low cost way of building traffic to your website. You can write some useful short reports with your website link in them and offer those reports for free on a website where you ask visitors to leave their email address before they download the free reports or articles. This means you can give away the report with your URL and also build a list.
  • #2. Blog. Blogging is a very effective way of building traffic to your website. On your blog, you can discuss your website’s products and services, and add some links to your website. You can also answer any questions your prospects and customers may have. By blogging regularly, you will have fresh content that will get your website indexed by search engines and rank high on these search engines. This in turn increases traffic to your website.
  • #3. Publish your own newsletter. Having your own newsletter where you offer free tips and content on a regular basis can help to increase traffic to your website. Your newsletter will have links to your website, so many people who will read your newsletter will also visit your website.
  • #4. Start a forum related to the products or services you sell on your website. By having a forum on your niche, you establish yourself as an authority in your topic. By answering questions and helping people in your niche on your own forum, you drive traffic to your website since you will have your website URL in your signature in the forum posts.
  • #5. Exchange links with websites that have high popularity (PR) rank. All you need to do is to find websites that are related to what you offer on your website and exchange links with these sites.

How To Increase Your Website Sales Conversions Guaranteed!

Marketing Pro Info No Comments »

Improving your copywriting is a key factor in increasing your websites sales conversions. Ideally you want to use proven techniques that will grab the readers attention and persuade them to buy your product.

The good news is there’s a “super” easy and extremely simple way of doing this… add testimonials to your website.

People respond well to what other people say about a product.

This kind of credibility is essential because the person giving the testimonial purchased the product and obviously got a benefit from it. Plus that person is not being paid to say they liked the product or to talk the product up.

Testimonials add validity to your offer and in turn increase sales conversions…

They give your offer that “personal touch” that you simply could not do by yourself.

People will rarely say they like something if they don’t, so this makes testimonials extremely believable.

When you use testimonials on your website be sure to include a name, location and possibly their website address because this helps to make your testimonials more believable.

Getting testimonials is easy when you know how.

Here are 2 quick ways you can begin collecting testimonials right away…

1. Send an email to your customers and ask them for a testimonial.

2. Set up an autoresponder your customers are automatically subscribed to where you ask for a testimonial.

Here’s how you can put testimonial requests on autopilot…

Add messages to your customer autoresponder that help them consume your product, then after a few weeks ask them for a testimonial.

If you’re just starting out you may not have any testimonials just yet. Whatever you do do not make them up! Falsifying testimonials is a bad idea. What you should do instead is to wait until you get feedback and then add it to your copy as soon as you can. The sooner you can increase your website sales conversions through the use of testimonials the better.

Ideally your testimonials need to say one (or all) of these 3 things:

1. Highlight specific benefits gained from using your product
2. Specific results gained from using your product
3. The experience gained from doing business with you

Testimonials can be highly effective if you choose the right ones. Don’t just settle for anything, just to get testimonials on your copy.

It’s far better to wait for the ones that will be effective and help with your website sales conversions instead of just using whatever you can find.

The best places to add your testimonials are at the top of your website near your headline, in the middle of your page, at the bottom of the page and on your order page.

Testimonials work on the same basis as word of mouth advertising. Word of mouth advertising works well because of that trust factor.

All the experts agree that people are more likely to listen and respond to what a typical customer has to say about your product then anything you have to say.

Here’s how to “turbo-charge” the power of your testimonials (and your sales conversions)…

simply include a picture of the person who wrote it. This works extremely well because it adds to the believability of the testimonial.

The bottom line is this… testimonials can and do “significantly” boost your website sales conversions.
