Have you ever wondered on the source of your website traffic? Especially when you buy targeted traffic or employ the service of traffic banks, you would like to make sure that you receive only the visits with guaranteed quality to create a higher likelihood of conversion. Let us review some of these traffic sources and find out how they can really bring targeted traffic to our websites.
Traffic banks have access to a massive number of websites where banners, text ads, widgets, etc. can easily be posted. Clicks to these forms of advertisements can be programmed to get redirected to your own website or web pages. Websites by traffic banks may pertain to different industries and, normally, have already established search engine authority which makes them easily accessible on the web. Traffic banks will naturally associate your own website to their websites with a nature similar to yours. Hence, the traffic you get is surely targeted.
Emailing lists are also other sources of targeted traffic. Many emailing service companies offer a list of emails of individuals who are interested in a specific industry. An effective email campaign has a potential of generating endless targeted traffic to your site especially that the emails can easily be forwarded to other email addresses which were not originally part of your list. The email may contain the ad, a link, or direct messages that encourage its readers to visit your website.
Some traffic banks also buy expired domain names. Add to this the possible misspellings of a particular domain which can generate substantial traffic due to the marketing efforts of the original website owner. This is why wise website owners often purchase variations of his original domain name (ex. aside from traffic.com, he may also opt to buy trafic.com, traffic.net, traffic.org, etc.) to make sure that all traffic that intends to go to the site really lands on the site. Traffic that goes to the expired domain names are redirected to your website by traffic banks (which now own the domains). Of course, to make sure that the traffic is really targeted, your website is always associated to a domain name that clearly reflects your industry.
Then there is affiliation. Targeted traffic providers often have multiple vendors or publishers who work independently to bring traffic, leads, and sales to websites that will be assigned to them. The independent publishers may use different modes (including the methods previously stated) such as blogs, text and image ads, etc. You normally would have to pay for a specific commission rate for every number of traffic or leads that a publisher is able to direct to your website.
And usually, traffic banks simply employ practices that you would normally perform too to optimize your site. They may submit your website to directories under specific categories, connect with other companies to run a cost-per-click or cost-per-impression campaigns, or to write and submit quality literature to article submission sites like EzineArticles, GoArticles, or ArticleDashboard etc. Truly there are endless resources from where one can buy targeted traffic.
