Non targeted traffic counts as "just a hit". Actually, there are some businesses that you can join that just count manual traffic. If this is the only intent, counting your "hits", then by all means go to the traffic exchanges and input your referral link and any banners they supply you and go to it. Make their counter spin and earn your money.

Targeted traffic is much more "niche specific" and will count for you moving up the ladder on Google and the other search engines. Now, I could give you a hundred niche specific sites here for traffic to your site. I won't now but I'll be putting the best on the sidebar in due time under the "EVER WONDER" title.

You can basically join a better traffic exchange like Traffic Swarm which offers where you'd like your ad or offer to be seen. You can narrow down the niche and get more credits by upgrading. Some of these traffic exchanges offer a very good "pay to play" residual and placement program. You can make a decent buck by referring people to their sites. But remember, you're always working for them and referring people to their site.

Something else I want to stress right here and now: If you can't afford to upgrade, don't do it. The offer will most likely be there tomorrow.

There's always the OTO (one time offer) especially when you first sign up for something. Sometimes it's really worth it and you really WON'T see it again. Sometimes, if you just say no, the price goes down on the 2nd or 3rd click.

What's the right thing to do? Use your gut instinct. If it smells like 2 day old fish, it could be. There's no right or wrong answer here. It's your call.

I'd suggest looking for a money back guarantee. That's the great thing about the internet. It's instantaneous. You can join something now and know in about a week if it's worth your time. If you order something to be shipped to you with a 30 day money back guarantee via the mail and you receive it on the 28th day, send it back, try for your refund. Oh well… It's like breaking something in the store.

Always seek out Targeted Traffic for your site. If you're not sure how to do this, I'll be posting another time about the absolute best way to EARN your traffic.

You have to do some work but it's SO worth it!

The Juice for any site, blog or anything else on the internet is traffic. If you have no traffic, you're going nowhere fast. Your beautiful online creation is just a bunch of X's and O's on some server that no one will ever see.

There are two types of traffic, targeted and non-targeted.

Targeted Traffic - obviously the best kind for your site is generated by means of writing articles, visiting blogs and forums in your niche and dropping a link back to your site. The search engines love this kind of traffic and will rank your site higher if you have relevant links coming back to your site that are in your niche.

Non Targeted traffic – is generated by putting your link into traffic exchanges, making comments on blogs that aren’t in your niche, sending “blanket marketing" emails to everyone on a general list and the like just to get people stopping by. Non targeted traffic may make your hit counter spin but will do nothing for your wallet and making sales.

The quickest ways to get traffic are also the easiest. Non targeted traffic goes away as soon as they leave your site. Targeted traffic will cause some to bookmark your site or even ask for a link exchange, especially if your site content is good and related to theirs. This is the way you build long term relationships online and can have traffic coming back to your site years after the original work you did.

It will also lead to more sales, but ultimately what will make a person a customer is the old standby – treat them right and help them.

So what’s the best way to generate targeted traffic? Writing articles. Always has been, probably always will be. It’s more work, but it’s also more productive. Here’s a tip I use that always works.

Use a signature (or sig) file at the end of each article. In the sig file goes a little bio about yourself along with what else? A link back to your site. Whenever you write your articles your sig file automatically is inserted at the end. This will link back to your site to drive your targeted traffic.

Do you or don’t you? Only your banker knows for sure.

Ad and Link Tracking is a must if you're serious about your business. What exactly should you track? Everything you do. If you don't track, how do you know how well or poorly something is performing? You don't – and it could cost you a lot of money.

Suppose you're just tracking a link or ad. If you're getting clicks and it's performing reasonably well. Then you have two options. Leave it as is or try to tweak it to perform even better. If you're not getting the results you expected, why keep the ad up?

Now, suppose you're using Google Ad Words or Facebook ads and are paying for that ad? You can lose hundreds or even thousands of dollars if you don't know how the ad is performing. You need to track every click and action performed. You need to know exactly what's going on.

Look for software that has the ability to track, but can also cloak your affiliate links. This is important because link thieves can actually steal your money..Oh Yes, there are people that will strip out your affiliate ID from the link and take credit for your hard work and the money that should be yours.

Mouse over any link I've put in on this blog (not the comments, recent posts and the like – that's supplied by WordPress) and you'll see what I mean. All you'll see is "nobetterjob.com /adtrackz/ whatever I/m tracking". You can also learn a lot just by mousing over any links in the emails you receive or on websites you visit. Try it out!

So, you should be tracking everything you do. Every advertisement, affiliate link everything. Not only will you know whats performing well – especially if you're paying for the ads, but you should also have the ability to cloak your affiliate links so no one is stealing from you. Some of these metrics are pretty cool too; you can see where your traffic is coming from and many other variables.

If you pay to play, you'll obviously get more bells and whistles. If you're on a budget, try Leads Leap. It's free and you can cloak links, but you can also put in your own ads and earn credits to get them shown.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've been asked that question.
Before I give you the answer, let me give you some cold, hard facts.

Fully 95% of people that try to make a living from the internet fail. I'm not talking about making an income, but a living. Why? Various reasons. What's the main one? They don't know how. Their heart is in the right place, they have the incentive and reasons – they just don't know what they're doing. It's no more complicated than that.

That's also why these let's say, disreputable companies, can relieve so many people of their hard earned cash simply by promising to show them the bright burning path, but they always leave parts of the road map out. Just enough to keep you coming back. Believe me, I know. .

There's a reason why I put my post "A concept to get almost anything accomplished" up early on. Hopefully you read it and it started you thinking.

The answer to the first question is actually two. Terror and Confidence.

Terror-being so afraid you may fail that you won't. You don't have the weekly paycheck coming in to rely on. You have to count on yourself completely. So it's very good to know what you're doing.

Confidence-in yourself to continue making a living with your business as it evolves and so do you and love what you do.

I was given a little nugget of information early on that I'd like to share: Treat it like a business, not a hobby. Simple, succinct and to the point.

I'm offering you a chance to learn how to start and run your own internet business in this post. I'll also tell you this is the course I took years ago and I still use today to find answers because it's constantly updated. When I took it, it was called the Insider Secrets Course.

The course is now called the Step by Step Guide to Selling Online. A short summary for this is on the Business and Product reviews page.

The reason I started this blog was to give people a way to make an informed decision . If you're a current reader, you know I don't sugar coat things and I come to the point quickly. You also know that I'll only share what I've personally used and can recommend as the best out there.

Let me be blunt: I don't care if you invest in everything I suggest on this blog or nothing at all.. I'm just giving you the truth about what works and what doesn't and you can make your own decisions. I feel something as important as learning how to start your business and change your future is pretty important. If you don't know what the hell you're doing, how can you possibly be successful ?

I'd like to ask a favor though. If you do take the course, please send me a testimonial with your link when your business is up and running. I'd like to post it here on the blog
