3 Easy Ways To Generate Website TrafficThere are literally hundreds of ways that you can generate website traffic. They all work, but whatyou need to keep in mind is that they may not work immediately, so start with one, master it, andthen move on to the next. As you do this, you will find the ones that you like better, or the ones thatwork better for your business and website, or both.

Here are just three popular ways to generate website traffic.

1. YouTube. YouTube.com is one of the most visited sites in the world (with over 73 million visitsper day) and its visitor numbers continue to climb. If you want to be where the people, and yourpotential leads or customers, are, sign up for an account on YouTube, post a video, and put your linkin the description of the video. YouTube also allows you to put your website on the video itself, butit is not a do-follow link so it is just there for visual purposes. As with all of your marketing efforts,you need to do some keyword research before preparing your video. Pick a keyword that you wantto use, use it in the title of your video, in the tags of your video, and in the description of your video.The video must be under ten minutes long but you can do a very effective video for under a minute,which is another great advantage to using YouTube to generate traffic to your site. It doesn't takemuch time, and it's absolutely free. If you further want to leverage your video, you can submit it toone of the video submission sites which then sends it out to other popular video sites.

2. PPC. Most people think of Google Adwords when they hear the term pay-per-click advertising.Google is the best place to start because it is inexpensive to register (only $5.00) and it currently getsthe most traffic. Again, you need to pick your keywords carefully. If you have a low budget, startout with the most uncompetitive keywords, use them in the first lines of your ads and even choosefor your ad to show only when someone searches exactly that keyword. This will get you fewerclicks, but they will be more targeted. Once you start gaining ground, you can start to target morecompetitive keywords as well. You can also try the other PPC platforms like Yahoo and Bing. Theyhave less visitors but the bids are also less expensive.

3. WordPress. You can really use any blogging platform to get traffic to your website but WordPressis very good from an SEO point of view, meaning you can get some incredibly effective, and free,plug-ins that will help you raise the ranking of your website. Include the link to your website in yourposts and when you comment on other blogs to generate website traffic.

7 Steps To Internet Marketing SuccessMany people are wondering if there is a real way to market their business on the internet for free. Inour current day and age, it is highly possible to market your business or product on the internet andto get excellent amounts of traffic using free methods. As long as you know what is involved and thespecific steps to take in marketing your business, you will begin to see your traffic and sales increasequite a bit in a short amount of time.

It is a fact that people want to be successful in their endeavors. If they put time and effort intocreating a website or a business, they want it to be successful. Promoting your website or product isa great way to help achieve this success. So, the question then becomes how do you market your siteproperly?

There are seven steps that should be followed in order to get the most out of free marketing andadvertising venues. This will ensure the most effective marketing campaign and often ensures ahigher success rate.

The first thing is to sign your site up. Look for the newest, most famous directories online and listyour website with them. This is the easiest and by far most efficient way to get free websitepromotion. Start with this idea and you are guaranteed to have more prosperity later on. However, itis imperative to make sure that your website is prepared before you list it. This will make it muchmore likely that you will be accepted into the directory that you are submitting to.

Next, identify your forums. The reason that forums exist is because they offer free promotion toeveryone. Simply sign up, log in, participate and post actively, and let other people know about yourwebsite in every post that you submit. This is a sure way to attract visitors to your site.

The next step is to create press releases that will be helpful to you. Free your writing spirit and writea press release that focuses on promoting your website. This is a free promotion tool that can be doneas often as you would like. Write a short paragraph and then send it to friends, family, online ezines,and other sources of media. By doing this, you are almost guaranteeing yourself massive amounts oftraffic.

Remind yourself that you always need to be friendly on the internet. By utilizing free promotionmethods, you need to be sociable and friendly. This is because the friendlier are with people, themore they can help get your site linked in many places. Make contact with people and welcome linkexchanges and requests that you receive.

Make sure to produce relevant, high quality articles. Make sure that what you are writing andsubmitting to people has to do with what you are selling or offering. It does not make sense to have atravel website that has articles written about home improvement. Focus on your particular area ofexpertise. Articles are your advertisements and are a great source of free promotion.

Let the whole world know about your site. When you are having conversations, add your URL intothem. People will in turn tell others about your site. This is an effective way to bring in traffic andpotential sales.

Create banner advertisements that get attention. Create a banner for your site. Then, offer to makebanners exactly like it for other webmasters. Do this in exchange for links or credit on their sites. Ifyou get in with the popular sites, you are guaranteed greater exposure.

Take a free website promotion course. There are many courses online that are completely free andcan teach you a lot. Most of these programs ask you to join their newsletters. If you create a site,there is no fee for advertising it. You only have to do some research about this type of promotion.

Advanced Internet Marketing - Taking It To Another LevelOnce you have mastered the basics of marketing on the internet and are seeing results, you need tomove onto advanced internet marketing. Even if you aren?t ready to actually implement advancedmarketing, knowing about it in advance can help you prepare for jumping into it when the time isright.

Why Worry About Advanced Internet Marketing?

Many people learn the basics of internet marketing and then stop. They figure they are doing wellright where they are, so there is no reason to move forward. Why mess with a good thing?

There are plenty of reasons why you need to know as much about internet marketing as you can.You may be doing very well on your website right now, but you need to be constantly growing yourmarketing and adapting to the changing demands of your potential customers if you are going to stayahead. This is where advanced internet marketing comes into the picture.

In regular marketing, the store across town is your competition. You may only have to worry aboutstaying ahead of a few other businesses in your area. But online, stores all over the world are yourcompetition. You potentially have to worry about hundreds of other businesses trying to steal awayyour customers. Since the world seems to be growing more impersonal, and customer loyalty is hardto come by anymore, this can represent a big problem to be overcome.

So What Do You Do?

The first thing you should do before focusing on advanced internet marketing is to give yourself arefresher course on any internet marketing strategies you already use. Use updated materials andsources to see if any new strategies have become available. This is a great start because you can putthese to work for you without having to learn entire new methods.

Then turn to books, magazines on internet marketing, and well established websites that arerecommended. See what is next in line for you to tackle in your marketing campaign.

There are plenty of options available, so you should be able to sift through them to find one that youare not only comfortable using, but is also relevant to your business. Certain advanced internetmarketing methods work better for some businesses than others, so only you can decide whichdirection you wish to take your marketing efforts.

Don?t Rush, but Move Forward

You don?t have to go racing into new marketing right away if you are doing well at the moment.You can use the opportunity to just learn all you can about the methods you are going to implementnext. But you do need to always be learning something and preparing for the next stage of yourwebsite and business. This keeps progress and growth from catching you off guard.

If your current internet marketing efforts are based around the same tried and true tactics that seemto be working well, consider adding video marketing or perhaps even social networking to youroverall marketing.

It may not be obvious right now, but you are doing yourself a big favor by learning about advancedinternet marketing. Even if you just research it in your spare time, you will begin to formulate ideasand plans for the future of your business. This sort of preparedness and forward thinking will keepyou going strong in the market for many years to come.

'What are we to do with that Yank Lant?' My year at theUniversity of St. Andrews, 1967-1968. Not a minute wasted...not a hide-bound traditionalist unaffronted.Author's Program Note. When you're a Scot like I am, you know there is at the heart of our nationalstory a great sadness for if we are to prosper and live well, we are forced to leave the most beautifulland on Earth, grand, poetic, family loving, a place of intellect, learning, quick wits and laughter...for there is no one who laughs like a Scotsman, not dour at all but not quick to share with justanyone. Centuries of treachery made that caution necessary.

And so the story of Scotland is the story of loss and people pulled apart, never to meet again and tolament one's whole life for all that one has lost and shall never regain this side of Heaven. Myfamily, of the Clan MacMillan, knew all this only too well. And so an ambitious Scotsman namedDaniel MacMillan left his native land in the middle of the eighteenth century to embrace a newdestiny in the South Carolina Colony, a land of endless promise where everyone was new,hard-working, undeterred by any obstacle, beholden to no one.

Unsurprisingly many of these people were Scots, usually mis-called Scotch-Irish (for scotch is adrink, not a people). Andrew Jackson, in time the Great Republic's 7th president, was one of them...and his feistiness and choler were hallmarks of the entire breed.

They took guff from no one... not least the Crown of England. And so in due course when thatCrown decided to meddle and the proud settlers decided it would be constrained from doing so,Daniel MacMillan joined his friends and neighbors in a war they would rather not have had butwere determined to win if they must fight. Daniel was a citizen-soldier, distinguished at the Battle ofCowpens (January 17, 1781)... and because of my valiant ancestor I became a Son of the AmericanRevolution... the true nobility of the nation.

I vowed I would go see that land that bred such righteous folk, and thus was I determined to go toScotland, sooner rather than later. Dr. Clark Kerr's study abroad program for the University ofCalifornia's most meritorious students made it possible. And so, in 1967, this proud descendant ofimpoverished exiles came home.

Yes, unlike the other students who were studying abroad... I matriculated at the proudest universityof my homeland (founded 1413). I had come home at last and nothing about my experience therewas foreign. And so just three weeks after my arrival, I submitted myself as a candidate for theStudents Representative Council for the Faculty of Arts... and so became, and by a landslide, too, theelected representative of the largest faculty of the university, the first American citizen ever soelected, ever so honored.

Now what? I was determined to do good and leave a sterling record behind, but how? Especiallygiven that I had only 8 months at my disposal before returning to the University of California. It wasa tall order...just my style. Challenge is my metier.

"But where does he go?"

It goes without saying that students at the most traditional of universities are the most traditionalpeople of all. Conservative to the core, they desire to be perceived as the cutting edge, without thebother and intense application needed to shape current and coming events. To be thought liberal,even progressive, was desirable but too much labor altogether. Thus to have me thrown into theirranks, and as representative for the largest faculty of all, proved most unsettling, because I was aman of energy, ideas, determination; in short an American, no respecter of persons or anything else.I came, after all, from Revolutionary stock.

I came, after all, from Revolutionary stock.

My elected colleagues greeted me as a curiosity, something acknowledged and forgotten, the oddduck. But even the most unwelcoming were aware that I was entitled to head a committee and soshape student and university policy. But which committee had the least power, prestige andauthority? And so by general consent I was made chairman of the Rectoral Inauguration.

Deemed a thing of no importance; I turned it into the cynosure of every eye, an event in which everymember of the university could participate. Rector-Elect Sir Learie Constantine aided and abettedme. And so first a working relationship, then a friendship ensued between two most unlikely people,I believe to the joy and satisfaction of each.

Sir Learie Nicholas Constantine, Baron Constantine (21 September 1901-1 July 1971).

Sir Learie Constantine (he was elevated to Baron in 1969) was a man of many parts; West Indiancricketer, lawyer, and politician who served as Trinidad's High Commissioner to the UnitedKingdom and became the first U.K. black peer of the realm. Fanciers of this most English of sportscalled him the champagne of the game, elegant, restrained, lithe, lyric, a natural champion, a creditto the game, always a gentleman.

I came to know him well because my erstwhile SRC colleagues thought the job of arranging theceremony and events of no consequence but neither Constantine nor I agreed. Having won thetri-annual election as Lord Rector of the University, the students representative on the governingboard, he did not deem it a paper honor but a job of real importance and influence. In short, hemeant to make a difference... and I was determined to get him off to the best possible start.

"Vote for Connery!"

My friendship and association with Sir Learie and his charming wife Lady Constantine might soeasily have never happened, that one is forced to summon fate as the likely option. I might neverhave run, never been elected, never selected to head the rectoral celebrations. And never have beenapproved by Constantine for the job, given the fact that I was campaign manager for actor SeanConnery's run for Rector. I backed Connery because he promised to provide the university with anOlympic- sized pool if he won, and so I did my bit for 007, like Her Majesty the Queen was to do forthe London Olympics of 2012.

At that point I had never heard of Constantine and knew nothing about the many achievements of hisdistinguished life. His candidacy was endorsed by the student Conservative Party, and he was thecomfortable victor joining an astonishing array of celebrities who had since the Universities(Scotland) Act of 1858 served the students of St. Andrews as Rector, one of just 4 Scottishuniversities with the post; Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, the University of Dundee addedlater.

Thus I became that most valuable of people, the man in the know, checking plans and agendas withmy new friend Lord Rector Constantine, squiring his wife and ensuring her comfort, and makingsure my friends and supporters got all the plums, and the best camera angles, they desired. As for theuniversity, it got a splendid new Rector and the splendid ceremonies appropriate for such a man onsuch an occasion.

As for me, I learned the features of a beatific smile. Clark Kerr sent the warmest possible letter ofcommendation, noting that my actions were just what he had in mind when he imagined theprogram. A copy went to Professor Earl Leslie Griggs, UC's man in London, who sent me anotherturgid letter of frosty approval verging on insult. I couldn't have liked it more.

Last word. Before leaving this article, go to any search engine and find "The Bonnie Banks O' Loch

Lomond". It is a well-known traditional Scottish tune first published in 1841. It is often played asthe final piece of music after an evening of merriment and high revelry. If there is a drop of Scottishblood in your veins, yes even a single drop, you will let fall the blessed tear, tribute to the land andits people, for you are of them and beloved. I prefer the infinitely touching version by JohnMcDermott, wistful, haunting, prayer-like.
