How do you get targeted traffic to your web site? There are many ways to get traffic but they all come down to one thing and that is targeted visitors.  As the owner of a web site you have probably tried all the ways from buying traffic to going to all the social sites and joining profiles with your URL even making some pretty good contacts but what have you really accomplished in a monetary sense?

Now all those efforts are worthless if you’re not getting targeted traffic.  By targeted I mean visitors that are interested in what you have to offer and are interested in what you are doing.  For example if you sell canaries yellow you want visitors to your website looking for a pet bird. There are many different ways to do this but I’m going to cover two in this article.  These steps are quick and easy but will require a little work on your part.

To get found by the people in search engines you need to have some unique content.  This of course doesn’t necessarily have to be your item but will lead to some natural rankings.  Think about content that your web site adds to the site such as blogs, articles, tips, etc.  They also don’t have to be long.  Make them 500 to 700 words but keep them short.

What you will probably find is that people will find your web site to see what it is all about and then they will be able to find the other pages if you give them a link from every page.  If you have some interesting information that is easily found on your site be sure and link to it on every page.

Another way of getting targeted traffic to your web site is to join as an affiliate.  Affiliates are people that have the talent and expertise in getting traffic to your web site.  You sign up as an affiliate for some program and that program will give you information on ways to drive sales to your web site.  Now you all start at the same place to get targeted visitors.

Here is the specialty when choosing affiliate programs:  many programs are free to join and don’t cost to download.  In order to find those that are free you can do an internet search.  You will find that there are websites that have lists of affiliate programs compiled and you can click on those to find what relates to your site in most of the best affiliate programs.  These lists of affiliate programs are popular to the affiliate because they want you to join their programs and take advantage of their web site.  You can then be listed on the affiliates site to get your name seen.

So now you have the two ways of targeted traffic and many more ways to drive visitors to your web site.  All you have to do is for one of the ways and once that is done you have targeted visitors coming to your site that are interested in what you have to offer.
