Internet. Business. Profit. To fully and successfully integrate all of these words together when describing a business, you will need only one word… Traffic. Every article you will find about making your internet site or company successful will always include the importance of generating traffic.

So, we all know that traffic is the most essential aspect to a successful internet based business. Once you have a great product to sell, and you have your company’s internal organization well taken care of, the next step is generating quality traffic.

Timing is essential, that’s an old adage known to everyone. When generating traffic, you should always be on your toes and be a day ahead of everyone else. Never think of today and tomorrow as a starting point for making your site traffic laden, it should always have been yesterday.

To help you out in generating more traffic for your site, here are seven surefire ways to increase your traffic starting from yesterday.

1) Invest in good advertising with search engines

Google’s Adwords and Yahoo’s Overture provide great advertising schemes that are very truly popular and assures great traffic. Although with this surefire way to increase your traffic will cost some money. While some would shy away from spending money to increase traffic, it is imperative in this case to do so because Adwords and Overture are the top surefire ways to increase your traffic. You can see for yourself the success these search engine advertising methods produce. Thousands of companies bid on hundreds of thousands of keywords everyday to earn the visit from a few. Lots of sites feature these advertising systems and many have signed on to reap the benefits. Do not be left behind. Every penny is worth it when using paid search engine advertising. You can also get search engine traffic for free. Search engines crawl hundreds of thousands of sites everyday looking for certain keywords that they would show in their results page. In doing so, having the right keyword and keyword phrase is a high requirement in ranking search engine results. You could write your own content or you could hire someone to do it for you.

2) Exchange or Trade Links with other sites

When exchanging links with other sites, both parties will benefit from your efforts to enhance your sites traffic. When one site features another sites link, they are providing the opportunity for visitors of their site to visit your site. The efforts are doubly beneficial because it would seem like both of you are working to generate more traffic together. The more links traded with more sites the more traffic can be expected. It is important that you link with sites that offer similar products or services. If you link to a real estate site and you operate a company that sells automobile tires, more than likely that link will not generate a lot of traffic!

3) Use Viral Marketing

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product with minimal costs if not free. This is a marketing method that can be quite sneaky; you can attach your company’s name, product or link to a certain media such as a funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip or buzz. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people.

4) Utilize Traffic, Banner and Text Exchanges.

These types of sites generally trade the viewing of your site or advertisement in exchange for your viewing someone else’s. They can be very beneficial in the production of traffic. There are many on the internet and this number grows everyday. Try to find those that are most popular and stick with them. Often times you can promote them between each other and create a network of sites working for you.

5) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site

Submit articles to sites that would contain the same subject that your site deals in. If you sell car parts write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Attach your sites description and services at the end of the article as well as the link.

6) Join forums and form online communities

The most important thing to remember when visiting forums or communities is many are specialized in what their topics contain. Don’t go blasting into a music oriented forum pitching your jewelry! Your sure to be banned before you know what happened. However, capture a market and show your expertise and that you have credibility. Simply start with a signature advertisement if they allow such. Become involved in the community and post information that the members will be interested in, or find captivating. When you have found a good foundation for your site, people will trust you and your site and will they will pass it on to many people they trust. Traffic will certainly increase because they know that you can provide what they need.This is however one of the slowest traffic generating strategies as many times it takes a little while to build that trust, but once you have gained their trust it can spread like a wildfire. If your patient and you follow proper etiquette, you may find yourself selling bunches of jewelry at a music forum!

7) Lastly, Offer newsletters.

If many people know what you are about and they are interested in what you offer, keep them up to date with whats going on and they will continue to visit. If you arouse the curiosity of your customers by periodically tickling them with your feather they would be pushed to help you with your traffic by visiting often and recommending you to others who share the same interests. A newsletter keeps your visitors coming back for more, provided you continue to supply more for them to come back to!

At Web Biz Solutions and Modern Advantage Marketing, we provide the tools and resources accomplish these 7 surefire ways to increase your traffic. They are there for you to use free of charge!

January 7, 2007

Hello Everyone,

What a wonderful relaxing day, today turned out to be! The weather here was fantastic… about 15 degrees above normal with bright sunshine. Yesterday was warm but nasty with rain. There were actually a few tornado’s touch down not far from my house! Of course if you live in the mid west you are crunching through all that snow! What, Denver, Colorodo got hit with its 3rd blizzard in as many weeks?! My prayers go out to you folks… I like snow, but thats a little much!

Wow… the weekend is here! It seems like only yesterday was Monday and we had started the Web Biz Solutions Birthday Bash. Think thats maybe ’cause I haven’t slept all week? Where's The Coffee?

It really has been a productive week and I am proud of the members that have participated in our contest. Lets shoot for a record weekend and surf til you drop Surf Until You Drop

I haven’t talleyed up the individual top surfers, but it looks to be pretty close for top honors for the week. Vasilios hitting the Jack Pot in Craps surf certainly helped his cause! Congratulations Vasilios… it doesn’t happen often, but its totally gratifying when it does!! We still haven’t figured out what to reward the top surfer for the week, but we still have two good days… Saturday and Sunday to determine a winner… Happy Surfing!

I am surprised there are not more comments here at the New Web Biz Solutions Blog. Did you know every post and comment is pinged to several sites across the internet? Are you familiar with blog marketing? Look in my signature file at the WBS Forum this weekend for a download about blog marketing…
Here are yesterdays Top Surfers… 5000 credits are on the way…5000 Credits on the way!

Happy Friday Everyone,

I wanted to start todays intro talking about MySpace. I just yesterday created an account there and came to the conclusion that I should have done it a long time ago! It is a great marketing tool as the members there are looking for everything under the sun! Its amazing the number of people that go there and hang out. I, of course like you have heard of MySpace for quite some time, but ignored it as just a kids playground. Wrong! There is money to be made there! I am curious as to how many of you have a MySpace account?! Just post a comment here at the blog so we can network together. You can also go to my profile at http://www.myspace.com/modernadvantage and look at my ugly mug :) If you don’t yet have an account, I encourage you to create one and join as a friend with me and the other members that post comments. Its just another way we can network together, and also another way to get yourself and your programs into search engines!

Day four of our WBS Birthday Bash Surfing Contest has another 150,000 credits going out. Congratulations to Thursdays winners!

If you are interested…

Pages Viewed Today: 12080
Credits Used Today: 120800
Credits Earned Today: 50005
I suspect by Friday the competition will be even stiffer and we will deliver close to 20000 page views… get your surfin shoes on :) Contact your downline through your members area and make sure they know of the surfing bonus’s available through Sunday. Their surfing benefits you!!

I hope you took the time and viewed the WBS archived pages from yesterdays post. It is quite interesting to see how we looked way back when, as compared to now! We have come a long way and look forward to the next 6 years.

Be sure to visit our baby sister site 1 Modern Solution. Now in its second month, members are learning there way around and realizing what an awesome traffic portal we have built. There is a fresh download in the members area to kick start your New Year.

Hey Members,

As our birthday celebration continues, I wanted to thank those members that are participating! It has been alot of fun thus far and I look forward to the next few days! Hopefully it has been fun and productive for you as well! I did some searching and found an archive of the original Web Biz Solutions. This was an archive dated Sept. of 2001 and is the earliest I can find… it certainly has changed alot! http://web.archive.org/web/20010923145537/http://www.web-biz-solutions.com/

It really wasn’t even a traffic exchange back then, just an informational site. Its first archive as a genuine traffic exchange was Jan. 2003 and you can see that original home page here… http://web.archive.org/web/20030123213152/http://www.web-biz-solutions.com/

Here is the first archived page I can find of the WBS Forum… http://web.archive.org/web/20030417091402/http://www.web-biz-solutions.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi

Pretty Cool, Huh? 8-) Those pages bring back any memories?

Yesterdays top 30 surfers(11:45pm)! 5000 credits to each of you… Congratulations! Is your name here? The minimum bar is being raised! Since the marquee only shows the top 25, it is difficult to guess what the minimum will be to receive the birthday bonus! Best bet??? Surf til your in the top 25 :)
