So after studying lots of great internet marketing material, I’ve recently come up with a plan of attack or system for getting traffic. The basic steps are:

• Create a test offer (if you don’t have one)
• Determine the keywords for this offer
• Create a targeted landing page for this product using those keywords
• Set up a short-term Google adwords campaign for testing keywords sending them to that specific landing page
• Track conversions (sales or opt-ins) by adding a snippet of google code to the thank you page
• Using the keywords that convert, expand into SEO – blogs, articles, videos, etc with these successful keywords

If you’re like me, you don’t like spending too much money on Adwords pay per click advertising, especially when you’re not getting sales. But having a plan and using Adwords as a short-term test is very useful. After years of using SEO and not seeing huge traffic results, as soon as I started using Adwords I got instant traffic and my Google analytics graphs increased right away.

You can still get pretty cheap clicks by using highly targeted keywords and also the often-shunned content network.
