What I’m about to reveal to you in this article will literally change the way you look at ‘Amazon’ forever.

As you know, Amazon is a buyers market place and is a VERY powerful search engine for products of all sorts, especially Books.

Now, you’re probably saying to yourself, “yeah, I already know that about Amazon, but how do I get my share of Amazon’s traffic?”.

Well, I’m going to answer that question in just a few moments, but first, here’s just some of the benefits you’ll receive once you’ve ‘Set-Up’ what I’m about to show you:

you’ll position yourself as an Expert within your Niche

you’ll receive Highly Targeted traffic to your website

you’ll be able to build a HIGHLY targeted ‘Opt-In’ list

Those are some pretty Powerful benefits wouldn’t you say?

And who would of ever guessed that Amazon could deliver this to you.

I only recently learned of this tactic myself from a Very well known Internet marketer who was kind enough to share it with me.

So now, I’m going to do the same for you.

Are you ready to see what Amazon can do for your Business and Credibility?

Enough said, lets get started.

Step #1. Set up a account with Amazon.

This is the easiest part of the whole task. Simply go to http://www.amazon.com and set up an account for yourself.

This should only take a few minutes and is very straight forward.

Step #2. Click on your “Your Name” Store tab.

Once you’ve set up your account you should have been given a password in order to login to your account.

If you’re not logged in already, login now.

Now, from within the members area there should be a row of tabs at the top of the members area, click on the one that says “Your Name” Store(ex. ‘Corys Store’ tab).

This will take you to a different area with a different sub-menu.

Click on the tab in the sub-menu that says “About You Area”.

Step #3. Setting up your “About You Area”.

Now this is where you have to pay ‘Special Attention’ because this is what people will see when they click on your ‘About You’ tab.

Assuming you are at the ‘About You Area’ you’ll notice that you have spots available to put your Picture, Name, Nickname, eMail Address, Real Name and About Me.

Go ahead and fill out all the area’s accept your ‘About Me’.

The ‘About Me’ spot is what I’ll talk about in the next step, but for now, just fill out all the other area’s and if you want to put up a picture of yourself, you can, it’s up to you.

Step #4. Setting up the ‘About Me’ section.

This is probably the single most important part of this whole process because this is where your potential customer will read about who you are and what you and your business is all about, so do take this seriously.

Now, you have about 4,000 characters of space to write up a description about who you are and what your business is about, so its up to you on how long you want your description to be.

Before you start writing your description this is what You have to do First within the first 70 to 80 characters of your ‘About Me’ description and I’ll show you an example of how mine looks so you’ll be able to see this in action.

(ex. About me: Hi, I’m vivien and I’m the Editor/Publisher of ‘www.traffictreasurysecret.com ‘ which is a …)

Do you see what I’ve done?

I’ve incorporated my ‘Domain Name’ in quotes into my First 70 to 80 characters of my description so when they click on my ‘About Me’ and read my profile they’ll also see my Domain Name, and if they wish to find out more about me they can either ‘Copy and Paste or Type’ my domain into there browser which will then bring them to my website where they can either ‘Subscribe’ to my newsletter or read my sale copy which will then get them to Opt-In to my newsletter.

This is where the ‘List Building’ starts to take place from the traffic sent through Amazon.

Now, we’ve already established that Amazon is a High Traffic website and now that you’ve set up your ‘About Me Area’ the way I’ve outlined it above I’m now going to show you how to direct Amazon’s traffic to your website.

Step #5. Directing Amazon’s traffic to your website.

This is where the fun starts. And once you see How its done you’ll probably kick yourself in the butt like I did when I was shown How-To do this.

What we need to do now is a little exercise so you’ll see for yourself how you’ll tap into Amazon’s traffic.

So, we know that Amazon is best known for Books, so click on the ‘Books’ tab within Amazon’s members area. This will take you to a different page.

In the upper left corner you’ll see a ‘Search Books’ search box.

Now, for the purpose of this exercise, just so that we’re on the same page, lets use ‘internet marketing’ as the search term.

So, go ahead and type that in and press GO!.

You should now see a bunch of listings on books related to ‘internet marketing’.

Scroll down and select the “33 Days To Online Profits” link. This will bring you to its Product Description page.

Within this Product Description page you’ll find Product Details, Editorial Reviews and most important of all, All Customer Reviews.

Notice I said “and most important of all, All Customer Reviews”.

Thats right, all you need to do is ‘Write Reviews’ on books within your particular Niche and when potential customers are reviewing the book you wrote the review on and they scroll down and happen to read your review and click on Your Name to see what you’re all about, guess what they’ll see?

They’ll see your profile with your Name, Nick Name, eMail Address and your ‘About Me’ description with your Domain Name screaming out at them which can easily be typed into there browser.

There you have it, “5 Quick and Easy Steps On HOW-TO Send Your Website A SURGE Of Amazon’s Traffic For FREE!”

I truly hope you see the benefits of writing reviews and how it will make you look in the eyes of your potential customer.

This is a great tactic to use if you’re looking to establish yourself as an Expert within your Niche and at the same time, build a HIGHLY targeted ‘Opt-In’ list that you can market to for years to come.

What does it take to start and grow a profitable Internet business?

While there are many facets to growing a profitable business online, there’s one thing you must have in place…a plan of action or course to keep you on track.  Without a business plan, there’s no way to determine if the actions you are taking are leading toward your intended goals are keeping you from growing and developing into a thriving business.

Any successful business has in some fashion adhered to a model or plan that’s led them to the success they are experiencing.  And while many businesses leave clues to their success, they are just too many unknowns to build a business on clues.

If you are starting a business, having a definite plan in plan will serve you in many ways.  This is one of the best ways to insure that you are on the road to success instead of floundering around, getting nowhere.

Unlike a typical brick and mortar business, starting a business online has many advantages over offline enterprise start-ups.  The main advantage you have online is the low entry to startup.  With a basic website consisting of a few pages, you can have a business online catering to your favorite niche in just a few days.

One of the most important aspects of starting online is that you can tap into many types of traffic sources relative free or at minimum costs.  Free sources of traffic may not be your best quality traffic sources and may not be the best way to target leads and prospects, but still…since it really does not cost you much of anything, but a little bit of your time, for this reason it remains one of the best ways to jumpstart an online venture.

Most people don’t have the money needed to invest in expensive advertising campaigns.  Should you decide to invest into paid advertising at the start, you’d have to have a large chunk of discretionary dough that you don’t mind losing should your ad flop.

The only way you should invest into paid advertising is if you are sure you have all the components in line for success.  This means you have a proven winner…a product or offer that’s been proven and tested to convert into buying sales.

The best way to know if your idea or product is a winner is to drive some free sources of traffic to it and test it over time.  This way, you are given the flexibility of adjusting your marketing efforts at the cost of free traffic instead of paid, which could be expensive.

Should you decide to tap into free online traffic, there are a myriad of choices that you can select from, of which, each can be good sources or means of testing your ideas.

Below, you will find my top six recommended sources of testing free traffic:

1. Start A Blog.  This is a great way to target your market using keyword rich content or articles that are relevant to you market.  There are many free blog sources online such as Blogger and Word Press.  Blogs are ideal for making your website theme related and has many SEO advantages for the SERPS or natural organic search engines.

By writing theme related content, you can be sure of people finding your article blog posts in the search engines.  Blogger and Word Press both have many plugins and template themes to help you in the process.  The key to using the traffic from your blog is to have a highly visible link or banner ad on your blog where readers can click through and see your main offer.

2. Write Press Releases.  Again, this is an excellent way to get the word out across the Internet.  There are many free PR site on the Internet that will let you submit free press releases.  These PR sites are strong in Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Having a press release on free PR sites puts your website in front of potentially thousands of Internet users and provides tremendous SEO benefits for your website.

3. Write and Submit Articles.  Article submissions are one of my key secrets to getting the word out about my websites and in improving my ranking in the major search engines.  There are many powerful sources online where you can submit quality article content about your website’s products, features and benefits.

The key to using article marketing is to write the article in a way that informs or instructs the reader on tips and tricks, or in a way that gives the reader additional insight.

Publishers are not in the business of publishing a sales pitch.  They want quality content readers can use.  In exchange they’ll publish your articles in their database that can be viewed by their readers as well as picked up by other sources all across the Internet.  If you have not written any artless, I suggest you start now.

However, should you decide to write articles, don’t post the same article on your personal blog.  You don’t want to get hit for duplicate content.  So how many articles should you write and submit?  I recommend at least 10 articles a week.  (This is far more than enough to get a boost of traffic to your website.)

4. Social Networking Sites.  One of the easiest ways to generate prospects for your online business is through social networking.  There are at least 20 outstanding social sites that have tens of thousands of members in all genres.  One great example is You Tube, Yahoo Video, My Space, Yahoo Groups as well as many others.  (Do a search for the top ten social network sites.)

One of the greatest advantages to using these sites is in the ability to create a unique profile centered around your passions and to post your videos.  Having videos of your talking about a certain topic is a great way to build rapport.  This not only serves to build your credibility but also creates a virtual relationship that’s second to no other.

People within the group instinctively get to know you…your likes, interest as well as your level to assist them in achieving their desired goals and dreams.  Don’t overlook this tremendous source of relationship building and traffic.

The key to using these types of sites is not to spam them with all types of affiliate links, but with real content that’s related to the group.  Participation is the key.  It’s not about posting content as an attempt just to get a new prospect.

The best way to leverage these networks is by participating in various discussions originated by other people.  If you can provide useful tips to an existing discussion, you will gain the trust of other members within the network.  Like always, have a link where permissible, pointing back to your website or a portion of the site related to the discussion.

5. Video Marketing.  Closely related to social networking marketing, using video marketing is an excellent way to leverage the power of the Internet for business brand building, establishing new relationships, and targeting key people in your industry or profession.

More commonly referred to as Web 2.0 Marketing, video offers a wide variety of possibilities.  Using nothing more than a web cam or video camera, you have create videos with targeted messages and have them uploaded to over 40+ video websites, working for you around the clock.  This is a powerful form of relationship marketing that you should use in your free traffic generating strategies.

6. Forum Participation.  Have you participated in any forum discussions lately?  Then you understand the power of using this type of Internet media as a way of lending ideas, tips and insight to help others looking for answers.

There are literally thousands of theme related forums on the Internet ranging from politics and government to adoption and work from home forums.  In order to make forum marketing work, you should stay away from automatic posting scripts, software and services all designed to spam the forums.

How you approach a forum discussion has a large part to do with how well you are welcomed into the discussion.  Participants in a discussion will quickly see if the advice you lend is meant as a means of using the discussion as a way of spam or if you are genuinely interested in helping with your insight.

Start looking for forums related to your industry, service or profession and start participating by providing meaningful information to others.

By now you are probably wondering why I did not include other forms of free traffic marketing such as posting free classifieds, using bulk email blasting or participating in viral banner exchanges.

While they certainly have the power to drive free traffic, they are more of a direct approach to marketing and therefore less effective as a means of establishing relationships.  If you’ve been in business for very long, you know that establishing relationships are key to building long term customers and clients who pay, stay and refer.

You’re about to discover the fastest and most effective way to drive thousands upon thousands of hyper-targeted visitors to your site – even if you don’t have a single dime to spend on advertising…

And believe it or not, this strategy will never fail.

Now, that’s a bold claim, and I’m sure it’s setting off some “BS alarms” in your head right now – but stay with me, and I’ll show you exactly how simple this really is, and why it makes so much sense…

As I’m sure you’ve already realized from your own research and experience – the only way to build a substantial amount of traffic to your site is by getting other sites to link to you, tell their email subscribers about what you have to offer, and otherwise publish your content on their site in some way.

This might be in the form of an affiliate program, it might be a link-trade, or it might be some other type of arrangement – but one thing’s for certain – it will be partnership (or Joint Venture) of some kind. This is the only way to drive hordes of traffic without paying through your nose for it!

But let’s take it a step further…

The Pareto Principle states that 20% of your actions will produce 80% of your results. This “formula” can also be applied to your marketing partners, because only a handful of your affiliates, JV partners and sites that you trade links with will actually provide you with any substantial results.

In fact, the time you spend setting up deals with the “lesser” partners is almost always a complete waste of time. And the fact of the matter is that it takes the same amount of effort to form an alliance with a “player” in your industry as it does to partner with a small site or resource that really can’t help you when it comes to producing real results…

What it comes down to is that if you want to generate a tsunami of traffic in record time – you’re going to have to go for the gold right from the start. This means that you need to form partnerships with the “players” in your industry right from day one.

And this is how you do it:

1. Use a “primer email” when you contact potential joint venture partners. Instead of simply nailing them with a pitch/proposal right off the bat (without any formal introduction), introduce yourself, address the them personally by name, and ask if they’d be interested in discussing an idea that would benefit them directly.

Get their attention, pique their interest and initiate a conversation. Don’t just jam a proposal in their face. Chances are, they probably receive multiple partnership proposals daily…

2. When you approach prospects that have large mailing lists and lots of traffic, always emphasize the exclusivity of your offer.

Make them a unique offer that only they’ll get. Do whatever it takes to make it totally irresistible – even if that means giving up most (or all) of your profits, or offering other incredibly lopsided incentives.

You have to remember that you’re getting free traffic from this – along with the opportunity to build a client base that you can leverage again and again by selling them additional products, and having them evangelize your business for you as time goes on…

Think long-term, and view joint ventures as a way to build a business for free – not so much as a “quick cash” strategy (even though that’s often a part of it).

3. Get their complete attention by sending a “hard copy” of your proposal. Not just another email cramming up their inbox (which is all to easy to delete…)

Instead, try using Fed/Ex (or even a fax message) instead of simply firing off an email. You’ll be surprised with your results.

Also, once you’ve received some kind of response, take it to the next level as soon as possible by arranging a time to speak on the phone. When your partner hears your voice audibly, it will be much easier for them to get a feel for who you are – which will make them feel more comfortable in dealing with you.

Rapport goes a long way…

4. Set up the deal and make it happen. Make things as easy as possible for your partner.

Have mailings, articles, banners, links and other promo tools built and ready-to-go in advance. The less your partner has to do, the better.

Additionally, make sure that you set a date for the promotion to begin. If possible, solidify a start-date as soon as you can. Most deals end up evaporating because there is no deadline or schedule in place.

5. Before your JV partners start promoting you – and before their traffic hits your site like hurricane and your sales start flying off the charts – make sure you have a plan in place to maximize their traffic as much as possible.

There are hundreds of ways to do this, but this is what you need to consider doing for the most part:

a) Have a system in place to capture leads that aren’t ready to buy your offer yet – but that want more information. (This is typically done by offering a free mini-course, a free demo, or something similar in exchange for a newsletter subscription)

b) Consider using an “exit-popup” to try and salvage visitors that are leaving your site. (Make sure this doesn’t conflict with your ordering process)

c) Find (or develop) numerous products and services to promote after people buy your product, or subscribe to your newsletter. Remember that this is the whole point of setting the deal in the first place – you’re trading upfront profits in exchange for long-term revenues from an active customer base…

d) Have a backup payment processor, web host and other “pick and shovel” necessities in the event that the sudden spike in traffic and sales causes problems with your host or your merchant account.

(This happens frequently in larger-scale product launches where several “super affiliates” promote a single offer. You need to be prepared…)

6. When the deal is done and over with, make sure to stay in contact with your partner regularly. One partnership can lead to several, and by building a relationship with the key players in your niche, you’ll literally be holding the “keys” to all the traffic in your market.

And then you’ll be able to generate massive traffic on demand – whenever you want – just by leveraging your current relationships.

This is how you can go from being a “nobody” to being an internet all-star in a matter of days. It takes planning, motivation and the will to actually follow-through, but it is well worth doing.

Big time.

In fact, you’re only one successful partnership away from transforming your online business from being a “bill payer” into a cash-spewing powerhouse that will support a ridiculous lifestlye.

All you have to do now is find the super affiliates in your niche and use the 6-step formula you just read to generate as much traffic as you can handle…

You may have the greatest website in the world, but its completely useless, unless people know about it. So once you’ve put up your valuable content, you need to get traffic to your website – you need people finding your website. And then you will need your visitors to like your content to come back again and again and also to recommend your website to others. There are a lot of ways to generate traffic. The quickest way to get targeted traffic is of course paid traffic – like Adwords and similar PPC. However, for long-term benefit you should start building up ways to get continuous targeted traffic flow to your website. Web 2.0 traffic strategies can help you get a lot of targeted traffic and best of all – these traffic strategies are all free. So web 2.0 traffic strategies are the best way of gaining traffic for anyone – whether you’re just starting and have your first website up and running or whether you’ve been online for years. Web 2.0 is one of the most unique ways to have unstoppable traffic flowing into your site. It helps you to generate a traffic flow that is not only continuous, but is also constantly increasing. There are tons of resources that you can use these days to increase the flow of traffic directed to your site. Some of these include Digg, Yahoo Answers, Squidoo pages, social networks, article marketing, press releases, blogs, videos, etc etc. The list is endless – you just need to choose a starting point, give a try to some of the web 2.0 traffic strategies and see the results. You need to find out what is working best for you and then improve that. There are several web traffic strategies and you can use many of them or rather, as many of them as you wish, in order to get your business going higher. Web 2.0 traffic strategies are really amazing tools that let you set up a lot ways that direct people to your website. There is appropriate guidance available on how you can make free hosting, a blog, and other exciting ways to increase your traffic. There are free training lessons available on the net on how to do it big on the net and you can always find a coach to guide you through the different strategies, if they seem overwhelming at first sight. You can search for the relevant information on Google, make the best use of the available free resources and try out different possibilities. For achieving the best results you need to monitor your efforts. You need to know, where the traffic is coming from, how long they stay on your website, which pages to they visit. If you’re getting tons of traffic, but they leave your website almost instantly, you need to improve your content. If you’re not getting enough traffic, you need to try out different resources. Maybe your writing skills aren’t the best? Then you should outsource your blogging tasks, writing your articles or even creating your website content. Or you could also do a Google search for free tips on how to improve your writing. A good resource for monitoring your traffic is Google analytics. It’s a free tool that gives an overview on where your traffic comes from, how many visitors your website receives, how long they stay, which pages they visit, etc. It’s easy and quick to set up, all you need is a free gmail account. For monitoring the traffic you need to copy-paste a short code on your website – you can do that with any website editor or even in Notepad. If you’re not sure where to start, I’d recommend starting by creating yourself a blog. Google search will again be handy for finding several free resources for that – blogger, wordpress etc. Blog is relevantly simple to create, but amazingly powerful. Search engines love the blogs, so they find new ones quickly and get them indexed. You don’t need to have any particular skills for that – you can just write short posts on the subject related to your website. You can include your website links in your blog posts and that will generate traffic to your website, when someone reads your blog, finds it interesting and wants to know more. The most important thing to keep in mind about blogging is not to neglect it. When you’ve started blogging, you need to add new content on regular basis. The blog posts don’t have to be long, but they need to be frequent. So before starting to blog, take some time to think about it. Plan your first posts and set yourself a schedule, then stick to it. You don’t have to enter a new post every day, you may do it once or twice a week, every other week or at any other interval that is most convenient for you. But you need to plan that in advance and stick to the plan. If you neglect your blog, people will lose interest in it and it will do you no good. On the other hand, if you update your blog with valuable content often, the search engines will pick it up, it gets indexed, you will receive traffic and if you’re good at it, you may soon have lots of fans, who come back to your blog frequently to read new posts, who follow you and recommend your blog through various social bookmarking tools – which are also part of web 2.0 traffic strategies. So if you decide to start blogging, my advice is – do it right the first time. Take the time to think about it first – what you will write, how often you’ll do it and also keep in mind your potential audience – who are you writing for? If writing is your strong side, you could also write articles and submit them to different article directories. There are so many resources offered by web 2.0 traffic strategies, all you need to do is discover those, give them a try and make the best use of them. The best traffic you can get is free targeted traffic. Margot-Helena Kasari is a mother, project manager, translator, law student, business owner and Internet marketer.

When inbound links to your site come from other sites, and those sites have content related to your site, these inbound links are considered more relevant to your site. If inbound links are found on sites with unrelated content, they are considered less relevant. The higher the relevance of inbound links, the greater is their quality. Ideally backlinks are web pages with high PageRank, with content like yours and that already link to other web pages. Reciprocal links: if you enter a link exchange program with the so called bad neighbors and you link to them, this can be disastrous to your SEO efforts. Paid links: Paid links certainly have their place. For a lot of sites, this place has proven to be in an SEO campaign. Care should be taken when buying text links for SEO, that the link is a genuinely powerful addition to your marketing campaign without relying on it to improve your search engine ranking. Check page popularity and relevance, link placement, and ensure that the link cost and results offer a good enough ROI to justify the purchase of the link in the first place. Paid links could provide you with good traffic if you find the right ones at the right price.   Directory listing To enhance the search engine rankings, it is important to list your website in various directories; it also helps your website to come in the top search engine results of all major search engine results like Google, Yahoo and MSN. The higher the PR of the directory, the more benefit you will get to get your directory listed in that directory. Directories are useful to the user in that if a user wanted to find a site under a particular topic, it would be easy to go to the appropriate category and choose from the selection of links. All links in a web directory are well-categorized and meaningfully sorted out.   Listing in Dmoz (Open Directory Project) Now owned by Time Warner, the Open Directory Project, is the single most important and powerful of all the directories edited by humans. The results from this high-quality directory are also carried directly by Google (where they are listed in a different order, according to Google Page Rank). There are numerous advantages of submitting your directory to DMOZ, and I can’t think of a single drawback. It may take many months to secure a listing, and there is no guarantee that your site will be listed at all. Google takes DMOZ listings very seriously, and in fact they even make it known that if you’ve had difficulty getting listed in Google, one of the best ways of remedying that is to get your site listed with the Open Directory Project. Directory submissions, unlike search engine submissions, are reviewed by human beings and undergo a great deal of scrutiny by the editors reviewing them. It is important that your website is submitted correctly in order to obtain the listings you need. Listings in DMOZ (Open Directory Project) and the Yahoo! Directory can be very helpful for boosting your site in the search engines. Google, Yahoo and MSN view websites listed in these directories as more important than those which are not.   The future of internet marketing As more people join up with digital riot, e-commerce continues to grow.
