Guaranteed Website Traffic - Is it Really Possible?

By Trisha Frauenhofer

The ways which you use in the attempt to get more traffic to your website are going to do one of two things: they're either going to work or they won't. There are a lot of companies out there which promise you that their methods will get you guaranteed website traffic - but there's a big difference between promising to drive more traffic to your site and actually delivering on their promises. If the method you're trying isn't getting you the traffic which your site needs, you have a lot of other options to choose from.

Good things can come of a pay per click service, depending on the nature of your business. If all you are promoting is a website to sell your product, then this can work very well for you. However, if yours is an Adsense site, then this method may cost you far more than the advertising will bring in terms of business for your company. What your business needs is a strategy which can bring many thousands of visitors to your site.

Paid marketing methods are basically good for providing fast results to get traffic to your site. One such option is buying an ad with a list owner. However, the results that you get will depend entirely on the size of the list. These services may also be more expensive than what you have budgeted. The fact is many of these types of services want you to upgrade to another higher priced level.

Be wary of marketing methods that say they submit to, for example, 50,000 publishers. Their submissions may only be to an article directory that has over 50,000 subscribers. The results from this also will depend on how many people out of that number are actually interested in what you provide. It most likely would not be enough to be worth your time.

Guaranteed website traffic or your money back. We all like the sound of this, but you should investigate any company before choosing to use their services. Read the fine print, always. You want to be certain that you can actually get your money back should they fail to get you the traffic that they guaranteed you.

If you have decided that submitting articles is the best way to get your business or service noticed, be very careful of the companies that promise to submit your work to a lot of directories. There are several of these that require that you register an account with each and every directory to which they send your work. That can be so time consuming that you have time for nothing else.

One marketing strategy worth checking out is an article submission service. They handle everything for you from submitting to allowing submissions to as many domains as you want. One important market that many services neglect is the thousands of smaller directories that are right in line with what you are selling. They can be a great place for your article to target those that are interested in your product.

There are many different methods of getting more traffic to your website. All of the companies who sell these services say that they can get floods of traffic to your site; but before you commit to any service, carefully check out their claims and find out what other people have been saying about their service. This can help you make the most of your advertising dollars and grow your business.
