Preface

Advertising your business effectively on the internet is the most important skill to learn for any online business to survive.

So why is it so difficult to find the effective advertising sources you need?

I probably don’t have to tell you that the internet is full of free advertising. It comes in many forms, from websites that advertise other websites, to text-box ads on the sides of pages, to spyware, spam, blogs, & auto-surfing… There are almost too many ways to get visitors to your website, because creative entrepreneurs are figuring out new ways to do it almost weekly now.

It has grown so large in fact that there are even many FREE ways to get traffic to your website. Legitimate traffic for free… And plenty of it, too. This represents an awesome opportunity for new business owners without a huge advertising budget.

That’s what this Encyclopedia is all about. I’ve spent years exploring, building, and testing these resources, and I’m going to share them all with you today. I’m even going to review them all for you with quick-glance indicators that reflect each free traffic source’s:

         Quantity (How many visitors.)
         Quality (How Targeted the Visitors are to your niche.)
         Time to Delivery (How fast all of your traffic will arrive.)

They will be rated on a scale of one to five, 5 being the best possible. A Zero rating means that it’s not applicable.

It is my goal for this book to be a completely indispensable handbook for all online businesses that advertise.

A common misconception that many webmasters have is that all free forms of traffic are very low in quality. Some will even quote the instances that software “bots” will be delivered as a visitor instead of a human.

Scams do happen from time to time, there’s no dismissing it. All of the traffic methods reviewed in this encyclopedia however, are genuine methods that are usually scam free. A great benefit about using free advertising is that there’s no reason for a scammer to try to target you, since you’re not a paying customer. No credit card number, no scam. A mild case of spyware is the worst you should expect. (So get your anti-Spyware and anti-virus up to date before trying some of these!)

The fascinating thing is that research has revealed that these forms of traffic are not usually just cheap, un-targeted surfers. There’s plenty of free Pay-Per-Click traffic out there, just as targeted as Google’s AdWords. In fact, when you get down to the “P” section, I’m showing everyone reading this book exactly where they can pick up their own free 114,517 visitors in paid, WELL-TARGETED traffic!

There are also free ways to get incredibly large amounts of traffic, that only require a modest amount of your time working on the front end. SEO, Link Building, and Article Marketing all can make your site the most popular site on the net for your niche, yet they don’t cost a single penny to do correctly.

Furthermore, targeted traffic isn’t the only traffic you’ll ever likely need. I’m sure you would be ok with a couple hundred thousand semi-targeted or Non-targeted visitors on your site tomorrow, building up your Alexa Ranking and showing the world how powerful a draw your website has… Also, with those kinds of numbers, you stand to make more than just a sale or two, no matter how unrelated the referring site is.

I’m going to spill the beans on a method to do just that for you under the “Traffic Exchanges” section. The rest of this book is just as useful, in fact, what I mention here are not the only juicy bits! However, juicy or not, you must choose a strategy for your marketing efforts and stick to it, because different strategies require different types of Advertising.

What it all comes down to is which KINDS of traffic you need for your marketing strategy. You’ll be sure to find a few in this eBook to fit your needs.

So before we get started, let me reiterate that every technique in this encyclopedia is completely free for you to use to drive some form of traffic to your website with.

All techniques listed here have been tested, not just by me, but by other online marketers and even ratings services in some cases. There are no sources of traffic here that require you to use a credit card. (Unless you upgrade to some premium level of service, of course.) With these free services alone, anyone easily build up enough traffic to their site to make you wonder how Google can charge so much for AdWords listings!

So why am I giving this knowledge away for free, instead of hoarding all the traffic for myself? I thought you might ask that. I certainly would.

You’ll find out under the letters “E” and “V”. This is a Viral eBook, which is one of the highest “Quantity” & “Time to Delivery” methods of Free Traffic Generation that there is.

Where might I want you to be delivered, in that case? I’m glad you asked. I’ve got no products to sell, but I do have another free resource for you. There aren’t even any pressure tactics there! I don’t use pressure sales methods, nor would I do so if I sold anything on my website. It’s a totally free resource site with over 400 Videos and 100s of other downloadable eBooks, reports, and products for you all to use and learn from.

So no forcing you to opt-in, no tricking you to click on a link, no limited-time offers, none of the tactics that you’ve got to be sick and tired of by now… I plainly refuse to use those in my business and I thought I’d try my luck and see how many of you would give it a look-over if I simply ask you to. So here goes:

“Please swing by the Home Biz Factory at: www.HomeBizFactory.com and take a look at our seven excellent online Careers that we teach, as well as my free weekly newsletter, “Valuable Content.” It has something for everyone who works online, and it is pretty light on the affiliate links… I try diligently to keep its contents true to its name… & I even throw in some great, expensive software with it every month.”

Alright, that’s it. My whole spiel. Done. That wasn’t so bad, was it? Maybe if this tactic is successful, and I get a lot of hits, I could start a big trend and we won’t have to put up with all those harsh marketing tactics all the time… Hint hint.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this encyclopedia, and that it helps to make your business a huge success. I’m rooting for you, and if you ever need any advanced tactics on any aspect of your Home Business, swing by the Factory and I’ll be sure to have just the training you’re looking for, all for free.
