Traffic Hacking: How to Find (and Focus on) Your Top Sources of Web Traffic

April 1, 2014 by Steve Scott

Traffic Hacking - How to Find Your Best Source of Web Traffic We all understand the importance of traffic generation.

The problem?

There are so many different sources of traffic that it’s hard to know what’s worth your time and what isn’t.

Fortunately, there is a quick fix to this problem.

All you have to do is use a few tools and apply a specific mindset to your traffic generation efforts. Then you can easily identify the most effective promotional tools for your authority site and/or Kindle books.

It’s been over a year since I started the Authority Internet Business Case Study. During this time, I’ve experimented with a variety of traffic sources to the site DevelopGoodHabits.com (DGH). What have I learned? There are only a handful of tactics that actually work (for me.)

In this post, I’m going to reveal a seven-step plan for finding your top sources of traffic and explain what to do when you identify them.

How to Increase Blog Traffic It’s time for another edition of the Traffic and Conversion Series!

The idea behind these posts is to show what’s actually working with my traffic generation efforts. By following this series you’ll get ideas and tactics that can be used with your online business.

I’m writing this post after completing a seven week cross-country trip across the United States.

So I didn’t get a chance to do much in the way of blogging.

Did my traffic go up? Did it go down?

More importantly, what am I doing to grow these numbers moving forward?

I’ll answer these questions. Plus I’ll analyze ten different traffic sources for the last 1.5 years – Showing what’s currently working and what’s not.

There’s lots to cover today.

So let’s get to it…

How to Master the “Deep Inner Game” of Traffic Generation

May 1, 2012May 1, 2012 by Steve Scott

Traffic generation is one of the most important things you’ll need to do as an affiliate marketer. Simply put, without traffic you don’t have an Internet business.

The problem most people have with traffic generation is they understand the techniques, but NOT the mindset behind many of them.

Fortunately Logan has a great guest post which details a number of “Inner Game” strategies that can take your web traffic to the next level…

You’ve read all the blog posts, you’ve spent DAYS on social media, you’ve written until your hand aches and your pen runs dry…

…but the people are elusive.

They won’t come.

No matter what you do, your site remains a barren wasteland of unseen dreams.

Empty.

Worthy of attention, but invisible to the masses.

It’s time for the 5th edition of the Traffic and Conversion series!

In this monthly report, I list the exact strategies I use to increase traffic to this blog {and other websites.}

Today I’m going to detail a specific technique I used to generate 5293 monthly visitors from Twitter.

Now before we jump in this month’s topic, let’s go over the current statistics:

10 Ways to Use Google Analytics to Increase Web Traffic

February 4, 2012January 26, 2012 by Steve Scott

What’s the secret to getting more web traffic?

Is it promoting your site in a variety of places?

Or is it maximizing one source of traffic?

I think it’s neither.

My web traffic philosophy is simple:

“Find what’s working and do more of that!” (Tweet This)

It’s a straightforward strategy. You concentrate on the traffic strategies that are working and ignore the rest. It’s like that famous expression: “Starve the Ponies, Feed the Stallions.”

So you might wonder: How do find out what’s working?

Easy… you install and monitor Google Analytics on your site.

In my opinion, Google Analytics is the best tool for monitoring your traffic stats. Unfortunately not many people know where to get started. In this post, I’ll show ten ways to use Google Analytics to increase your web traffic:

We all want to increase blog traffic.

And we all would like to make more money.

That’s why it’s important to take a strategic approach for growing our blogs.

Starting last month (September) I made the commitment to focus on increasing readership for the Steve Scott Site.

In addition, I’m also implementing the same strategic approach with my niche affiliate sites.

The end result is a series called Traffic and Conversion.

POST PANDA NOTE: Since this article was written the Google “Panda” and “Scrapper” have come and gone. 6 months have nearly come and gone since these updates. This has been enough time to prove that these article marketing strategies do, in fact, still work.

Let’s be honest. The days of writing a single ezine-article and having it rank #1 for competitive keywords are long gone. This is as much due to increased competition as the Google updates. But article marketing is far from dead.

The Article Marketing Strategies in this post have been changed (where needed) to better match the Post-Panda article marketing world.
