Traffic

Traffic is everything to an internet business, as without traffic you won't make any sales. Think of it as being like people through the door of your store.

There are a number of ways you can start to drive traffic to your website. They are ranked roughly in order of importance, including the basics - such as getting your own site. Search Engines are always the main source of traffic on the Internet, with other methods falling gradually in effectiveness.

However, your mileage may vary: One strong Viral Marketing campaign has the potential, for example, to outrank all others. There may be some crossover between certain methods (Article Marketing will drive direct traffic, as well as increase PageRank for SEO, for example) and the ranking is a combination of the total number of potential visitors compared to the number of targeted visitors (visitors who just hit your site vs visitors who want to see it). In this blog you will learn how to increase traffic, traffic tips. You will find here submitters, mailer, directories and much more keep visiting.

RSS Feeds

An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is a simple text file that contains all the content you have published. You'll usually find them automatically generated by your blog, but you can also use them for other purposes - perhaps an up to date feed of your articles, or your offers.

The benefit to the user is they can use web services or software to "subscribe" to feeds they like, and each day be presented with the latest updates. It's like having an e-mail subscription outside of their actual email.

For the marketer the benefit is that it's yet another way to keep in contact with your visitors, subscribers and customers. With email becoming more difficult deliver, RSS feeds are one possibility. It's probably better to use both.

One service worth using is Feedburner, now part of Google. This service will count the subscribers you have, and ensure your feed is compatible with a ride range of readers. It also has features to let you add extra content to your feed - such as ads, and social bookmark features.
