The aim of this article is to show how using some
recognised traffic generation methods and a consistent and
regimented weekly work routine, can bring a constant and
ever growing flow of organic (free) traffic to your online
MLM business.
I first became involved in the online business world five
years ago, when I joined my first internet based home
business. Like many newcomers, I had high hopes of making
big bucks in a relatively short space of time. I started
to attend the usual networking presentations and meetings
to try and get my business off to a flying start. There
were two questions I always wanted to have answered. How
did the top networking leaders within my company get to
where they are and what was their secret?
At the start of my online experience I was a long way from
being internet savvy. It took me two and a half years of
going absolutely nowhere, to realise that it was imperative
to have an online presence at the very least if I was to
turn what I had into a successful online MLM business.
Besides, my dreams of being financially secure were still
far from being realised. I knew very little at this time
about websites and what went into creating them, so I did
some research. I found a company who on the face of it
looked very professional, had some top clients on their
books and gave me the impression that they would not only
build a stunning website for me but would also optimize the
site for the benefits of the search engines; a practice
otherwise known as search engine optimization (SEO). I
parted with a considerable sum of money and then sat back
and waited for this influx of visitors to my business.
This traffic never arrived and I found myself out of pocket
and right back at the beginning. I then decided that it
was really time to get to work, so I started to learn about
website development and SEO. The basic principle I
discovered, was to firstly do some research on appropriate
and profitable keywords around which to base the content of
each web page. By profitable, I mean words that have a
good monthly search volume but relatively few other web
pages on the internet containing these words / phrases.
Finding and refining this batch of quality keywords quite
simply leads to your site being positioned higher on the
search engines. Just weeks after publishing my first
website, I began to find it by searching Google with the
keywords that I used to build the pages in the first place.
At first, there was just a trickle of visitors but as I
continued to add new content rich, keyword focussed pages,
this traffic gradually increased.
My SEO research taught me that another essential tool in
website development is building links to your website from
other sources. I now use three methods of linking to my
site which have dramatically increased my visitor numbers.
I submit my site to web directories and social book marking
sites on a weekly basis. The method of linking which has
given me the most significant increase in traffic, coupled
with improved search engine ranking, is article marketing.
I write informative articles based on the topic of my
online MLM business, which I then submit to a selection of
the best article directories on the web. I select what I
deem to be the best directories based on their Google page
rank and Alex.com traffic ranking. All these articles then
contain a link directly back to my website.
There are four major advantages of publishing articles in
these top article directories. Firstly, you will receive a
certain level of traffic to your business from people who
find your article on one of these directories. Secondly,
because these sites already receive high traffic numbers,
there is a good chance that your articles will be indexed
within the search engines that much quicker, providing them
with further exposure. Thirdly, a lot of second and third
tier directories will take your articles from the
mainstream article directories and publish them on their
sites as well, giving you further back links to your
website. Finally, all these back links will lead to an
inevitable jump in your search engine rankings, which will
lead to increased traffic numbers as a result.
Now that I have two very well optimized websites, my weekly
routine is simple. I religiously write two articles every
week and submit them to the top article directories and
social book marketing sites. If I had never had that
disastrous experience with that so-called SEO firm, I would
probably never have learned the skills that are now very
much the back bone of my business.
I now have an ever increasing stream of free, organic
traffic to my sites on a daily basis which has in turn lead
to me having a successful online MLM business.
Whether you decide to follow suit and take the avenue I
have gone down, or follow a slightly different course in
your online promotion, a few things are essential; make
sure you research the promotional method(s) well and become
an expert in your field. Give yourself a weekly plan and
follow it because in this business consistency and
persistency will win the day.
Do not be mistaken though; this is hard work but believe me
the effort is worth making if you genuinely wish to build a
successful online MLM business.
