Traffic: Don't Under Estimate It's Importance 
By: Mark Thompson
How many times have you bought a product that promises you that you will earn thousands of dollars if you use their system to build sites only to find that the manual contains not one word about generating traffic? You buy the product and build the site and it just sits there doing nothing.
It really doesn't matter how good the product is with out traffic and good quality traffic there is no point in building it. "if you build it they will come" doesn't apply to web sites. The most important thing when starting out is not books on building sites or exotic site building programs it's learning how to get the traffic to your site.
The best looking site in the world means nothing without human visitors. If you can't attract the website spiders and then organic traffic you will be left with a site of no value to you. Have a look at the forums where people buy and sell website and each thread will have 2 questions. How much does the site earn and how much traffic does it have. On a personal not i prefer traffic over income as I know I can turn traffic into income easier than generate new traffic.
If you concentrate on learning how to generate traffic to your sites you'll be able to launch sites in the certain knowledge of being able to make them profitable. I run a membership site and was creating some traffic videos only yesterday. I tried something I'd never done before and discovered that it got my site indexed in Google in 18 hours.
This was something new that I hadn't used before, needless to say I was pretty impressed. I used it on another site 3 hours ago and guess what? It's now showing in Google. That's 3 hours from creating an entry to it appearing in Google. I didn't even know that updated their database that often!
It's not surprising that the method I used isn't listed in any manuals or e-books. Search engines constantly change the weighting they gives sites. it wasn't long ago that Squidoo was the most important place to have a link to your site, that's not the case anymore.
One great method of seeing what services and sites are worth putting your links on is by looking at Internet marketing niches. Internet marketers have never been slow in finding the best ways of getting indexed. Look at what sites are ranking for various search terms. If you find a web 2.0 site or a blog site test it on your sites and see how it performs. If it gives you results add it to your list of traffic generators.
By planning your traffic generation using the tools you discover you can quickly start to dominate search engine listings. By careful manipulation of your linking strategies it is often possible to grab many of the top 10 listings.
