Use a very fast loading page instead with some catchy verbage on it. 2) Always include on the page an e-mail capture form for visitors to give you an e-mail address. Then you plug the e-mail address into a autoresponder to send the visitor more information about the page they just seen. 3) The autoresponder message should be short and sweet. Just the bsic information and a URL is good enough. Offer a way of subscribing to your "List" at this time. Let the reader know you will be sending them further updates about your site via e-mail. 4) Always use Traffic Exchanges that give the most bang for your buck. There is nothing more disheartening than having traffic that is somewhere in the 10% unique range. You want the most unique visitors you can find. I hope these tips help... Phil Hello Donna,

Traffic from traffic exchanges is not all that bad. there are several different keys that will increase productivity:

1) Never submit a full blown webpage. Use a very fast loading page instead with some catchy verbage on it.

2) Always include on the page an e-mail capture form for visitors to give you an e-mail address. Then you plug the e-mail address into a autoresponder to send the visitor more information about the page they just seen.

3) The autoresponder message should be short and sweet. Just the bsic information and a URL is good enough. Offer a way of subscribing to your “List” at this time. Let the reader know you will be sending them further updates about your site via e-mail.

4) Always use Traffic Exchanges that give the most bang for your buck. There is nothing more disheartening than having traffic that is somewhere in the 10% unique range. You want the most unique visitors you can find.

I hope these tips help…

Phil

Just keep track as you go along as to which is helping you the most, and which is helping the least, and adjust accordingly. But I tend to start out by spending the most time on that list in that order, and then tweak and adjust as I go along.

I would also be interested in the percentages allocated to each avenue of traffic. Although, I would assume that would very a bit depending on the type of website being promoted. Great post, Donna!

The only thing I'd say though, is that it's worth considering what you want the traffic for as well. In many cases, PPC traffic will convert better than organic, and even forum sig links and direct referrals can be very lucrative. Really depends on the business / campaign / objectives / etc. Scott Great list and I’d agree on the whole.

I'd add the implicit #0, direct traffic. I still find that people who type in a URL from word-of-mouth or offline marketing convert better than just about any form of online referral. Of course, a lot of time may have gone into some of those people (i.e. if I talk to someone for half an hour at an event and then they check out my site, of course they're a qualified lead).
