Create Your Own Internet Traffic Generator Octopus – Top 8 Attention Getters

The more eyes you control, the better your chances of success. This is a universal truth in business. It doesn’t matter if you’re a car dealer, personal trainer, online store, consultant, or lemonade stand. You have to get more and more people to pay attention to you to earn money. That’s it, period.

In this article, we want to introduce you to a concept, forgive us for the cuteness of an octopus that generates Internet traffic. A virtual creature that will enter the great ocean of the web and bring you quality traffic. We’ll talk about his 8 arms and how to make sure he’s working on your behalf.

Arm no. # 1: SEO

The first arm you need for your octopus is SEO or search engine optimization. It is vital that all of your internet real estate, be it your website, your blog, your articles, videos, and even your social media accounts, are optimized for search engine indexing.

While it is not the only thing to consider, it is very important because creating content that is friendly to search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing means that they will be friendly to you. We are not going to go into the details of how to optimize content, because that is not the point of this article, but it is the first place to start and learn.

But in order not to leave you totally in the dark, for SEO, a few brief notes are: titles, keywords, descriptions, content and links. Focus on these five things and you are off to a great start.

Arm no. 2: article marketing

One of the most effective means of attracting traffic, and quality traffic, is to write articles like this one. You see, the articles are permanent, and if they are written in the right way, to be genuinely informative, they will not only be noticed by those interested in the written topics, but they will be indexed by search engines and distributed by other webmasters.

What’s even better is that every article you publish can have a call to action and a link to your website, blog, social site, or whatever else you want. This means that not only do readers have the opportunity to stay with you, but you have a high-ranking back link to your site. This is very powerful, since we will enter another of the arms of our octopus.

Arm no. 3: Blog

Blogs, like writing articles, are a way to post long-form and educational content that can be linked to you online. What is different about blogging, in general, is that it is more informal and more frequent. It also lends itself to a lot more feedback and can eventually become a network on its own.

As long as your blog is relevant and interesting, it can be a great way to generate traffic and attract the attention of search engines. Like articles, you can promote your latest blog posts elsewhere to increase results.

Arm no. # 4: link building

As we mentioned earlier, it is very useful both for sending people to your sites and for improving your search engine rankings to have good links pointing to you. This is one of the main SEO methods.

When your website is in the center of a spider web, to use another 8-legged creature analogy, it grabs a lot of attention. Note that multi-level linking and cross-linking on a website takes some time, but should take time. It is most effective when done by hand, be very careful with one-click services. Search engines don’t like them and might even penalize their websites for using them.

Arm no. 5: video marketing

Like article publishing, videos are great because they are so popular, can be embedded anywhere, contain links, descriptions, and titles that are indexed by search engines and are permanent.

Videos are the most likely way for internet media to go viral, which means that others will pick them up and embed them on their sites. Not only does this create a great flow of traffic, it increases the chance that the video itself will show up in a search query.

Just remember that, like articles, videos need to be relevant to what you do. They should be informative and entertaining. Of course this can vary, it really all depends on what your business does.

Arm no. 6: Social Media

Using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and even YouTube and others to promote and drive traffic is a complex and time-consuming process. Like each of these strategies, there are right ways and wrong ways to do it. Some learning is required here, and how you proceed will depend on what genre of business you are in.

But a good rule of thumb for SMM is to post information that benefits those who view it. Post links to new articles, videos, and blogs, link to an interesting ezine article you’ve read, create connections between yourself and like-minded people and businesses, and more.

Virtually all types of businesses, even b2b, can use social sites. It can be a complicated process, but there are many articles and e-books, as well as marketing professionals that can help you.

Arm # 7: Exchange

This can be a very effective way to get attention. You trade something of value for something someone else does, and thus you can take advantage of other people’s existing traffic. For example, you can allow others to post your articles, videos, or blogs on their sites in exchange for a link on your site. In this way, they both get a link to the other and can drive traffic back and forth.

Another form of this is affiliate marketing. Place advertising on your sites that promotes the business of others. What’s great about this is that not only do you get a link, possibly from another site to yours, but if a sale is made through your website, you earn a commission.

You may want to exchange banners with another website, or write content for them, or provide a service in exchange for a link on a high-traffic page. This is a pretty broad idea and requires some thought and creativity.

Arm # 8: Advertising

We save this for last because it is quite obvious. One way to almost guarantee traffic is to pay for it, just like in the real world. The biggest difference and advantage of online advertising in relation to the “real world” is that it is much easier to track and control.

With almost any online advertising, whether it’s pay-per-click, banners, or affiliate programs, you can control where your ads are shown, to whom, when, and for how much. You can add, edit and delete them at any time, thus carefully controlling how much you spend.

A brief review of the three main types are ppc or pay per click. This is where you pay your ad provider every time someone clicks on the link. Google AdWords is a common example of this. The other way is banner or text ads placed on high traffic sites like news sites, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube video ads, etc. They can also be targeted by location and demographics. We’ve already explained the affiliate programs above, which you can host and participate in, so you can be on both sides of the coin.

There you have it, now you have the makings of a fine and friendly sea creature. He will swim there and bring all kinds of interesting people. And they won’t even care. But the most important key to training your new friend to do his job is to really take action. Someone has to sit in front of the computer and do all this work. While these 8 arms are not the complete list, they are a great place to start and build a solid foundation.

It can be a daunting task for most entrepreneurs who are in a business other than direct marketing. Most people are just busy doing their regular job, not caring about spending tens of hours a month becoming octopuses. But there are those who can help you. Experts and supportive professionals like us who want to give each entrepreneur the opportunity to do it online. After all, if more than 97% of people are looking for things on the web rather than some other form of research, doesn’t it make sense for your little friend to go looking for them for you?
