Don’t be brainwashed to believing search engine traffic is ALL the traffic you need! If you only rely on this traffic for your success you will never receive the success you truly desire. Here, let me show you exactly what I mean.
I Know The Search Engines Can Only Send You So Much Traffic, Because I Dominated Them For Years!
Traffic-O-Matic is one of my online successes. This website sells security products that protects personal and bussiness computer from online threats. In addition, we help serious marketers like you to achieve success. If you go to MSN.com, and type in “zone alarm”, you’ll see www.traffic-o-matic.com, in the #2 listings. It actually held #1 position for “zone alarm” and other related terms on Google and Yahoo for almost two years! Now it comes in and out of the top of the search engines because they all change so much.
But guess what? After almost two years of absolutely dominating all the search engines for many of the relevant terms, the search engines could only send me about 300 visitors per day at a maximum! While this is good traffic, it’s not enough traffic to support me! In fact, if I depended solely on the traffic from the search engines, I would have had to layoff employees every time just one of them changed. And believe me, they change a lot!
The Myth:
If your website is highly ranked on the search engines, you’ll get all the sales you need and soon be able to retire to some tropical island and sip Margaritas all day!
The Reality:
If you depend on search engines for the majority of your traffic, you are fighting a battle that you can NEVER win!
A good way to visualize what I’m talking about is to imagine that your website is a mall. Now imagine that the main doors to your mall are the search engines. Sure, they are pretty big doors, but only so many people can come in those big doors at a time. What if instead of counting on just a few big doors to get the people into your mall, you had 1,000 or 2,000 or even 10,000 doors to get people into your mall. Now your talking some real traffic without limitations!
Over the last 4 years, I’ve been getting more and more traffic without the search engines, so I don’t depend on them for my living anymore. In fact, that is what I want to help you to do. Be independence of the search engine for all of your traffic.
