There are two ways that you can generate traffic on the Internet. They are very simple and concise and include:
• Free Traffic
• Paid Traffic
Free traffic is not entirely free, as it will still require an investment of time. Also, there is no guarantee that either way will generate money, but they are where you want to start and they are both very powerful ways of generating traffic if you used appropriately.
Paid traffic can be useful depending on the type of product that you are selling. If you are in a Google Adwords program, you can use paid advertising and generate traffic in a very effective manner. People who click on your advertisements are likely to be interested in your product and likely to buy. Also, those people who click on those advertisements know that they are being sent to a site that has paid for placement and they know it is a site where something is to be purchased. However, this is the “right way” to make money off of paid traffic. You can also use this program the “wrong way” and generate money as well. For example, Perry Marshall is an expert at using paid advertising to generate traffic and profits, but he often uses Adwords the “wrong way.”
On the other hand, you can look at someone like Jimmy D. Brown. He gives away free reports and generates viral traffic in this manner. He is able to generate traffic without effort and he does it for free.
When you look at both aspects, you will most likely find that there is no straight answer as to which method is best. They can both be used effectively if used in the appropriate manner. Otherwise, you can do a lot of work and make a whole lot of nothing. It’s all about how you control the medium.
