How To Get 100 Visitors Per Day In 3 Weeks

Conducting Keyword Research

Note: DO NOT NEGLECT THIS STEP!

Too many readers skip the above portion and go straight to the ‘meat’. Trust me, YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED. Keyword research is a very important part of getting traffic.

What makes you think the topic or product you've decided to promote has any chance of actually generating traffic? Furthermore, what makes you think that that there is even a market for your site or product? If your answer isn't “thorough, unambiguous research,” you should think twice before you attempt to get traffic.

The amount of traffic you can potentially receive will be directly related to the amount of people who are actually interested in your product or service. If your site is focused around an obscure, unpopular topic or niche, you can expect to get little or no traffic.

While it isn't impossible to promote such sites and receive targeted traffic, it is much, much harder than it would be for more popular topics. This is why it is crucial to laser target the right audience before you even building and promoting the site; however, if you already created your site, don't worry. You can still use these same methods. It may be a little harder, though.

So how do you conduct basic keyword research? What should you look for when selecting keywords? And how do you know when your results indicate a bad choice?

Your first goal in conducting keyword research should be to determine whether your there is a “good amount” of traffic for your keyword and for related keywords. Unfortunately, a “good amount” is completely subjective. I would personally suggest looking for base (or main) keywords that get a minimum of 80,000 searches per month according to Overture.




For example, let's say you decide to make your base keyword “sandwich” because you're going to start a business that teaches people how to make the best sandwiches they've ever eaten.
When you type “sandwich” into Overture's Inventory tool, you find out that “sandwich” was only searched for 46,032 times last month, which was lower than your “good amount” figure of 80,000 searches per month.

This means that you will want to look for something else. Perhaps you will decide to create a site about hamburgers instead. A quick test on Overture reveals that there are well over 80,000 searches for this keyword, so you decide to stick with it.

In addition to the results you received for hamburger, you find the following results for the related keyphrases:
13276 Hamburger Recipe
3404 Hamburger restaurant
2503 Hamburger Press
2076 Hamburger Marys
2052 Hamburger Helper
1673 Hamburger Hill
1536 Hamburger Meat Recipe
1362 Frozen Hamburgers
1112 Grilled Hamburger Recipe
1080 Hamburger Casserole
1077 White Castle Hamburgers
1020 Wendys Hamburger
These keyphrases, in addition to the other results





Optimizing for Natural Search Engine Traffic

There are two ways in which you can optimize your site for natural search engine traffic. In this section, we are only going to cover tweaking your “on page factors.” A good amount of the remaining report will discuss various “off page factors,” including linking campaigns.

On page optimization is relatively simple. It consists of two things: optimizing tags and optimizing content.
As far as tags go, you will want to use your targeted keyword in your title tag and in your header tags. You will also want to use it as your page extension. These three simple steps will tell search engines what your pages are all about; of course, you want them to be about the keywords you are targeting.

When creating title tags and page extensions, you will want to use the keyword only – and nothing else if possible. When creating header tags, you will want to use the keyword and some other words. Perhaps you can use the title of the page or article as the header.

Now, when it comes to optimizing the body of the page – or the “content,” you will want to put the keyword in question in the first and last paragraphs. You will also want to optimize at a rate of approximately 1.5% -- or 6 uses per 400 words.
There are a bunch of other little “on page” factors you can tweak, but for the purpose of this report, we will skip over them.



Optimizing Content for Your Site
Now, when it comes to actually getting the optimized content to put on your site, you can either create it yourself or purchase it from a ghostwriter. Borrowing articles from directories is a good way to provide more content for your visitors, but it won’t actually help your search engine rankings in reality.

How can you generate it yourself? Write 300-word articles for each of your selected keywords – or find some other type of suitable content that you could use instead.
For instance, in our hamburger site example, you could talk to everyone you know who grills and ask them for a hamburger recipe. You could then optimize each recipe for one of the keywords you have on your list.

If you're not up to the challenge of creating your content, it might be considerably easier to hire someone else to write all of it for you.

You can do this by finding ghostwriters who need jobs. One reasonably good marketplace for freelance writers can be found at the following URL: http://www.elance.com. Another option is http://www.guru.com.
You can find writers on these sites by opening a project publisher account and advertising a project for however many articles you need. You will want to set a budget and clearly state how many articles you need to completed. In general, a good 450 words article will cost you about $8-$10.

There is another easy way for you to get good quality writers: Students. There are many students who are good in writing and they would want to make a few quick bucks just by writing. The students don’t really mind spending one evening writing 20 articles for even as low as $4 each for a 500 words article. Check it out with your local education institutions.

When you select someone to write your project for you, don't forget to check that person's portfolio and feedback thoroughly. A good amount of ghostwriters write borderline plagiarized content and try to pass it off as completely original.




Additionally, select a writer who is selling his/her writing for a reasonable amount of money. Those who are offering extremely low bids on the project more than likely will do a sloppy job, will borrow content, or will use a “content mixer” to disguise theft and plagiarism.

Conversely, those who are asking an unreasonably high price usually aren't even worth it. You may find that those offering reasonable, mid-range prices will actually produce content that is just as good for considerably
less.

Now, with this being said, there is one other way in which you can generate original content without writing it yourself or without paying someone else to do it – and that is to create a “revenue-sharing” deal with a partner.

You can do this by contacting a writer and asking him/her if he/she is willing to accept a portion of the profits you generate, rather than direct payment. If you plan to do this, though, you will want to make sure that you are actually going to generate a return on your articles. The writer's responsibility is to do a good job; and yours is to market it properly to ensure that both of you actually end up getting paid for the work you have done.

Once your site is receiving traffic, there are a number of methods you can build-in that will generate traffic for
free; however, we will cover those later in the report, not now.

Getting Indexed By Search Engines

You now have a functional website with useful content. The next step is getting the search engines to actually find and index your site. Without this step, you could have a massive site filled with excellent content – and it wouldn't matter.

So how can you get indexed by search engines quickly?
The fastest way to get indexed by search engines is to get a direct link to your site on a high page rank authority site. Next time the authority site gets spidered – provided that the page your link is on does not use “no follow” tags – the search engines spidering it will follow the link to your site and index it.
You're probably thinking “great, but how the heck do I get a link on an authority site?” It's actually pretty easy.

One easy way to get your link on a high page rank authority site is to use http://www.craigslist.com. Go to the San Francisco Bay Craigslist and then select “classified ads.” Under classified ads, find a section related to your product or site, and then post an advertisement. You probably won’t get a lot of traffic, but you will get indexed, provided that you pay attention to the Craigslist rules and do not spam.
Another good way to get on an authority site is to post your link as a resource on http://www.wikipedia.org.
This is a human-edited encyclopedia, which you can even edit. All you have to do is create an account and add your link in a relevant section. If you created a clean, high-quality site, your link will more than likely stay in Wikipedia.

Again, while this might not get you traffic – at least not immediately – it will get you indexed in the search engines quickly, which is a must if you want to be able to generate 100+ unique visits per day in a mere 3 weeks.
What should you include in your link?

$100K+ Per Year: How to Make A Six-Figure Income Online



There’s an old saying that’s been around much longer than the Internet that really does have a wealth of truth to it.

And that saying is simply this:
 

“Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.”


Now, I’m not some kind of great philosopher and we certainly don’t have the time to grab some breakfast tea and sit around for hours discussing the great amount of wisdom encapsulated in this short saying.

Let’s just cut to the chase and say…… “it’s true”.

And it certainly is true when it comes to growing an Internet business. If you don’t carefully plan your business strategy, you’ll likely become another one in the long line of those who fail.



Some estimates show that as much as 95% of online businesses fail.

And a major contributing factor to that unsettling statistic is undoubtedly the failure to set a realistic plan in motion.




That’s not gonna happen to you.
At least, not if I can help it. (You’ll have to do your part too, of course). If you spend a few minutes reading this special report, I’m going to give you a fool-proof, 3-step system for building a $100K / year business on the Internet.


And – I’ll even give you some very specific action steps you can take beginning today to begin growing your own business.



You’ll be shocked at how simple a system it is to use. And you’ll probably be just a bit amazed (maybe even frustrated or angry) that someone hasn’t shown you all of this before now.


Quite honestly, if you’re attempting to sell anything on the Internet, this plan WILL work for you if you put it into action.
Now, before we get into the three steps, I want to tell you a story. Yeah, yeah,


I know – but stay with me here, because this is IMPORTANT.


Imagine this:       You walk up to a car and are instructed to start pushing. You do. It doesn't go very far and someone else comes up and asks you to start pushing on a different car instead.

Since the first car isn't moving very much, you decide to push the second one while a newcomer (John) starts pushing car number one. 


Stay with me here.
You don't have much success with car number two, so at the urging of someone, let's just call him an "ezine publisher", you move on to car number three while John continues to stay with car number one.


You get kind of frustrated with car number three because the darn thing just doesn't move much when you push on it.
In disgust, you move on to car number four, five, six and seven because someone you know told you that they would be better.
All the while, 'ol John sticks with car number one.


After a few hours you haven't gotten anywhere. You were only able to move the cars just a little bit and you've decided to call it quits. You look around and it's
then that you notice it...


...John and car number one are gone.







They are nowhere to be seen.
You see, while you went from car to car, pushing a little and then moving on when results didn't come fast enough, John continued pushing.

And pushing. And pushing. And pushing.

And car number one started rolling. Slowly at first, but then faster. Soon, John had some MOMENTUM going. And he moved on down the road.










Now, let's apply that to YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS...
 

Every single day I receive new offers from list owners. They send me an email (along with every other person on their list) for the new "program of the month" and urge me (and you) to get in while the gettin's good.

· I'll probably die in my sleep tonight if I don't jump in today.


· Or maybe I'll disrupt the earth's gravitational pull and destroy the world if I don't send my $39.95 in right now.


· There's just no time to waste.


· This is a sure shot.


· They've had 84 new signups in less than 24 hours.


· This is the newest and latest and best new thing that’s gonna change the way we do business online.


· Forget about everything else that was said in the past, this is the one.
And then two days later I receive a similar email from the same list owner. The name of the program has changed, but the necessity for me to act fast hasn't. I'm to buy and buy now before the whole world finds out and beats me
to the punch.


After all, there are other list owners out there.
And let me tell you what happens to those 84 new signups from two days ago.
They get confused.
 

"Was I supposed to promote this program or
is it time to move on to the new one?”
“Which one is better?”
“There's no way I can be a member of 15 programs
and there's no way I could promote them all even if I  had the money, so which one should I try to use?"






So, they move on and on and on, as the list owner and persons of influence continue to get rich off the sales they make.

And I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the poor, misguided, good folks who email me day after day and tell me that they still have yet to see a profit online.


And yet there are "sure shots" and "can't misses" being promoted every single day. Whatever the newest and latest program is -- everybody's sending their emails and playing the game over and over again.


And the only folks making any money are the ones who come up with the new programs and products and the ones who send out the urgent messages to their list members.


And we wonder why the failure rate is so high. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the overwhelming majority of folks trying to do business online quit without earning enough money to buy a large pizza in the frozen food section at their local grocery store.


Now, I'm not one of those folks who says "here's a problem, but I don't have a solution." I DO have a solution. And it's fairly simple...




1. Do the math. 

                   You only have so much money and so much time to invest. Where will it be ? 

If someone is bombarding you with new programs to join and new products to buy every single day, then unsubscribe and find someone else to teach you the ropes. 

You can't join and buy them all. I don't know about your
financial situation, but I do know that every single one of us is only allotted 24 hours a day. You can't effectively do everything!





2. Get a Plan. I don't care if you join my program or your buddy's program or
nobody's program -- just decide what you want to do. Make a decision.

Form a gameplan. Where do you want to go? How much do you want to earn? How can
you do it? Find someone who is willing to invest THEIR time in YOU. Now there's
a plan.

How many of these folks bombarding you with their offers are actually
available to answer your questions and guide you along the way and mentor
you? And how many cut you loose once they have your money. Find a mentor.


Find someone who is willing to invest in YOU before you invest in them.





3. Stick to it. Please, please, please -- don't jump on the bandwagons as they
come passing by. I promise you there will be more bandwagons. There will be
new programs and products coming your way every day.

Resist the temptation to continue going from one to the next. You'll never get any momentum at all if you quit one thing to start the next. All you'll do is waste time and money.

You've got your plan -- you may have to modify if from time to time, and even
add to it -- but stick to it. Do you realize that EVERY TIME you quit one thing to
begin the next that you have WASTED your time and money that you spent on
the previous one?

Earning an income online isn't difficult -- but it can be confusing if you don't
follow these three simple rules.

There are times that I have to simply tell myself "no" when a new offer comes by -- and I just stick to my plan. I know where I'm going and I'm not going to be derailed by the latest and greatest to come down the pike.

Be Prepared To Start Your Own Legitimate Business

Starting a home business can be a very liberating and rewarding thing to do. Escape from the 9-5, lack of a boss that always tells you what to do, the thrill and adventures of running your own business however you want to, growing big and having a lot of resources, both social, spiritual and material – all of these things are on the “awesome” side of starting and running your own enterprise.

But the life of an entrepreneur is definitely not for everyone. You have to commit to what you’re doing; you have to sacrifice commodities, food and sleep in order to get your business off the ground. For many, this sounds like the best adventure ever, but for most it sounds scary. Here are a few things that you must absolutely know about and be prepared for before venturing into the startup world:

Nothing is certain. The bad side of having the freedom of running everything how and when you like it is having to decide every single step, often without any advice (especially in the beginning). You’re in charge and responsible for everything – the good, the bad and the ugly. Depending on what decision you make today, your company may gain profit or may fail completely, and if you don’t like such extreme uncertainties, you should think twice before throwing yourself into them.

 You will fail. Everyone says it and every experienced entrepreneur knows it. You may fail at only one thing or at the whole deal at once, but there will always be an idea you thought is great which will turn out to be a big flop, wasting you money, time and brain cells. All you can do is learn not to do the same thing again or do it differently, and move on and try again.
The above might sound quite pessimistic, but there are some people who just read this article and laughed at it, because they either already know how it is or are not afraid of the challenges and say “Bring it on!”. One thing is for sure: they are a minority.

If you are not ready to commit to your business and sacrifice anything that needs to be sacrificed in order to succeed, perhaps it might be easier for you to get a managerial or commanding position at one of the many already established companies. The pay is stable (and definitely higher than what you would be making in the first months and years of your own startup) and you get most of the benefits of running a business without a lot of the risks. In the end it is up to you: who knows, maybe if you try starting a company you will get to like it in time or at the very least you’ll gain some experience, whether it fails or not.






The internet has opened many doors for entrepreneurs looking to earn money through internet. Some may be skeptical about such money making ventures and, to a degree, skepticism is understandable. However, one should never be dismissive of the opportunities available as there are a number of excellent ways one can draw an income online.

Some Ways to Earn Money Through Internet

What are the common ways people earn money through internet? The sheer volumes of strategies that can be employed are a bit vaster than some assume. There are affiliate and network marketing ventures, there are online promotional affiliate banner ad sales ventures, and there are scores of pay per click (PPC) opportunities available.

Then, for those that just want to get a job done and get paid for it, service provider opportunities exist en mass as well. For example, you could always look towards paid data entry or medical transcription jobs as a viable form of income.

Why Earning Money Via the Internet is Helpful

Would you prefer to be the captain of your own proverbial ship or would you want someone else dictating your life for you? When you are able to earn your own money through an online entrepreneurial venture, the amount of money you earn will only be capped by the effort you are willing to put into things. You can literally amass great wealth if you put forth the right effort.

Get Started

You can earn money through internet - but only if you are motivated to get started! That is why it is recommended to launch your venture as soon as possible. Others have earned great wealth. Why not join them?
