Site traffic is the most important part of having an online business. If you haven't got traffic then you haven't got a business. Traffic drives a customer to view your website look at the products on offer and possibly make a purchase.
A sale means you are starting to create an income for yourself. But this is not the end of the matter, after sales is equally important and emails promoting new products are essential for generating future business and sales. It is important to create a desire in people viewing your site to want to have that item or the lifestyle and building a relationship isn't easy but if you consistently send them newsletters and add personal info about yourself so that they can see that a real and genuine person is corresponding with them this will give you credibility which is very important. But I am leaping ahead and what we need to do is focus on us getting the traffic in the first instance.
All types of advertising need to be done. Classified Ads online, newspapers, handing out business cards, sending emails to all your contacts, advertising on traffic sites, the list is never ending. But these all need to be done so that your website is getting a wide coverage.
Joining forums and other communities spreads the word, writing articles can lead traffic to your site. Use Viral Marketing, exchange and trade links with other sites, it is mind-blowing and it could drive you to distraction but you need to stay focused.
You know how to eat an elephant don't you? ONE BITE AT A TIME and that is what I am learning to do with all of this information. One thing at a time. I have been promoting the http://www.24hourwebcash.com/baker0870 website through constant advertising online and from the stats on the website it is filtering through. Not only that but my earnings have increased with Google Adsense. I have now earned £2.63 and I only opened the Google Adsense account in late July. You may laugh and scoff but to me this has been a monumental step in my determination to make a living from my online businesses.
I can see that if I intensify the advertising and the traffic to my sites that I will be able to generate more earnings through Google Adsense.
I have placed 4 traffic website links above.
I use all of these and many more but as I keep looking at this elephant … lets take it step by step. You will need to join all of these. Just click on the banners and they will take you through to the relevant sites.
List Auction – is a list-building and traffic-generating system that helps you build an enormous list of double opt-in prospects looking at your offers. It's FREE to join! You click on links that earn you credits and these credits can then be used to send out an email to all their members on a weekly basis. They have some great tools and videos with easy to follow steps.
Fwebtraffic – This system is free, is viral and fully automated. You place a text advert on this site and then when someone else join their marketing system they have to click on yours and 5 other adverts and view them for about 15 seconds. All the instructions are very clear on how the system works.
TrafficSwarm – A FREE Traffic Generated system. Sign up, view other sites click and earn credits and you can place your ads into your FREE account and when others click on your website the credits are deducted.
Link Referral – There is free traffic, reviews and more on this site. Have you got a blog, website, personal page or affiliate link? You can promote all of these on Link Referral. You receive written visitor feedbacks on this site. Again it is FREE to join.
This is what all those others marketers have done to drive traffic to their websites and this is exactly what Donna and I are doing each and every day. No slacking you can't afford to stop... no trafficking means no sales means no earnings. The math is quite simple really.

Make Money Online
Its been a hectic 2 days since I last wrote. Donna has added pages to her website http://www.donnabarker.ws. It is a Global Domains International website and she has found them very helpful when she has sent them questions and they have been very quick in responding, with clear and precise steps for her to follow.
Nothing is ever straight forward but she has kept at it and has done a great job. She has added 4 pages one is called Make Money Online which gives information about the latest internet business we have recently become involved with. I might add that I am only going to give you a brief overview here and you are very welcome to call in and have a look at the website yourself. Donna is a complete novice, never having built a website at all but she is managing to add the pages so do not fear if she can do it so can you!!
The second page she has added is about Traffic Website featuring Fwebtraffic and The List Auction. Both have been used successfully to promote our sites to the point that we have earned commission with Google Adsense.
Another page is devoted to eBooks however she is having a problem loading the html code on to that page. On this page you will also see a link for WebRing a social networking site.
Last but not least is the page promoting my Blogs. There is this one and another http://www.petesbusinessopportunity.blogspot.com
It really has been an enjoyable journey so far. I thought a mouse was a dirty creature that ate my crumbs and as for a memory stick words fail me!! A keyboard I know about as my wife uses one, but Motherboard well she passed away last year. There's hardware and software, I was a builder so I know where the hardware store is, floppy disks - well we wont go there or CD's and DVD's.
As you can tell I am in no way what you might say a Techo!! but we are still learning and although it is very frustrating and time consuming I am determined to break out of the restraints that lie within and take myself to frontiers where no man has ever been before, well not this one anyway!!

Where to Place Your Banner Ad
When you put time and money into having a banner ad created, you want it to be effective and drive potential customers to your site. Part of a successful ad is where you decide to place it. You must choose wisely based on several factors. When deciding where to place your banner advertising, you want to look at the following:
Content of the Site
When you decide to run a custom web banner, you want to aim to get your ad placed on a web site that has content similar to what you are selling. For instance, if you are selling an arthritis medication, then you want to get your ad placed on a site dealing with health care, health concerns or arthritis. The more the content is related to your ad, the better.
Site Statistics
We talked about this in an earlier post, but you want to check out the statistics of the web site you are thinking about placing your banner ad on. Good statistics to know are the CPM, CTR and the traffic of that particular web site.
Location on the Actual Web Page
Generally banner ad advertising is the most effective when it is placed at the top of the web page. Aim to get your ad placed near the top, or as the top ad on the page.
Other Banner Ads on the Web Page
Finally, when looking at web sites to run your banner ad advertising, you want to look for web sites that don't have a lot of other ads. Think about it, when you are reading through a site and it is covered in ads, does it make you want to read each ad and click on one? No. So why would you want your ad to get caught in the jumble? Ideally, you want your banner ad to be the only one on a particular page.

Advertising
Everyone should have a budget for their advertising. Budgeting monthly is probably more manageable and you can keep control much better, especially if you are new like me. I do not have a great deal of disposable income and I dare say a large majority of people are the same.
Your budget may be $100, $50 or $5, like me there may be times when it is $0, however much you have, it is more important that you make it work as hard as possible for you.
Use the google search engine for Classified Advertising, ads on-line or FREE Advertising and you will get lots of leads to follow up.
A word of warning....I have found that when it says FREE it is not always FREE!! You go on to the site, set up a free account, completing an on-line form, place the ad and then you find that you have to pay a nominal amount to proceed. I wish there was more honesty on the internet!! If you are required to pay why not say it upfront. I wouldn't necessarily be put off if it said from the outset that there was $39, $19 etc. to pay.
One ad I clicked on requested payment of $1. I duly completed the on-line form, clicked to pay the $1 then it came up with add-ons and I couldn't close the site down. There were in fact 2 more add-ons.
This is time consuming so don't forget to make a note of the website addresses that you are unable to use so that if you come across the site again you will know to avoid it thus saving yourself quite a lot of time and energy and frustration.
It is a good idea to set up a database with relevant information for each advertisement you have placed. Basic stuff you might think but hindsight is a wonderful thing and more often than not we get caught up and carried along when placing ads and find that we can't quite remember what we have done and where we have done it, let alone what user name we used and the password to go with it.
So on the spreadsheet have a column for the name of the advertising company/traffic exchange, website address, user name, password, email address used, membership number, affiliate number, what ad you have placed, the business promoted and the final column should have the expiry date of the ad placed. Colour code these for each months' expiry date, it will be easier to check up on what needs to be renewed. (i.e. red for January, green for February, yellow for March, etc you get the idea). A column stating amount paid or free will help with the additions so you wont blow the budget.
Another tip from me... set up a google mail account or other especially for advertising. You could use the name of your blog as the account name, if you are promoting debt, then you could try getdebtfree@ you get my drift and use that when setting up the adverts and use the same user name and password for everything then you are less likely to forget them.
On the other hand if you have many websites a general term may be better i.e. joinpeter@ or workwithme@ or information4u@.
Keep away from using your private email address because once you start setting up advertisements you will find that there will be a snowball effect and you will start receiving emails from people wanting information, others may want see if you would like to advertise with them, there may be one or two cranks aswell. If you use a traffic site you will immediately be bombarded by emails from their membership with links for you to look at. You can sometimes reciprocate and send them information about your business.
All this does take time but we have seen an increase in traffic to one of our sites since we started promoting it this way.
Do not forget the importance of a using keywords in your advertising, headlines with 2-3 keywords in the title will get picked up by the search engines. A keyword loaded headline like – make money online had 110,000 searches in July, make money had 673,00, making money had 246,000, how to make money had 165,000.

MONEY EARNED THROUGH ADSENSE
Google AdSense is on my website http://www.24hourwebcash.com/baker0870 and on this Blog. I have been busy reading everything I can about Google AdSense as I have got some earnings through it and would like to increase what I have earned and done so far. Your earnings are based on page impressions and clicks, so the number of visitors to your web page or blog is very important. The more visitors you get, the more you will be able to earn.
Do you know how much people generally earn from Google AdSense? I have read that if you get 1000 visitors per day, you may earn $1 to $3 per day. However, looking at my stats I have done better than that.
I know the adverts say that you can earn $1000 daily but I feel that you need to learn quite a lot before you start earning money frequently. You also need to be spending a lot of time promoting, writing and reading as much as you can.
In the following table you will see my earnings:-
View: Today Yesterday Last 7 days this month - August last month - July All time
Page impressions Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM [?] Earnings
AdSense for Content top channels 68 4 5.88% UK£4.72 UK£0.32
So there has been 68 page impressions and 4 clicks to earn me 32 pence.
All I have to do now is keep on with the online advertising and posting to my Blog and I should increase that amount, sending out emails and everything else I am doing.
Of course the secret is in advertising and promoting and then getting people to follow me through this Blog.
This is a truly amazing way to earn and I intend to keep at it till I earn money regularly.

GOD SAVE OUR Google Adsense Account
I know I am a day early with this post but just had to tell you our news....A while ago at the request of Mary Gersten through her video tutorials we signed up for a Google Adsense Account through this blog and although we have been working in the blind so to speak as we have not done anything like this before we are pleased to anounce that we have earned 13 pence.
Some may scoff at this meagre amount but to us it marks a turning point as we have earned - YES EARNED and the first thing we are going to do is learn more about Google Adsense so that we can increase the amount.
Things are beginning to happen; just need to understand what, how, why, when and where like all good journalists.
