About twelve months ago I decide that it was time that I created a traffic explosion on my Website. So I invested my money in an Internet Marketing Seminar, bought a bunch of software that would allow me to promote my Website and manage the explosion when it actually happened.

And it did.

So I was asked recently: What has caused the explosion?

And here is my answer...

I have basically used the following strategies:

1. Search Engine Submission and optimisation utilizing specific software for that purpose.

2. Offered free Ad swaps.

3. I write articles and have compiled a list of eZine publishers that accept articles. I send an article to this list once a month. I add to that list regularly.

4. Approached hundreds of other Websites about sharing corresponding links.

5. Write informative and entertaining eZines.

6. I have also created a Website that is interesting, professional and easily navigatable.

7. Also, by having the best mailout software, I am able to have lots of autoresponders operating which builds better relationships with my readers. For more information about the software I use, go to:

8. I also bought materials to help me to learn more about eMarketing and I also subscribe to eZines that give me great ideas.

9. I have submitted my eZine to a lot of the eZine directories that are found on the Internet.

10. We also keep good records of our subscribe and unsubscribe stats. We set goals for where we want our Website to be ranked on the Internet and also the number of hits we want to get each day and each month If things are a bit slow, we will run a promotion to lift this and it gives us something to aim at each month.

11. We created banners for others to use on their site. To see an example of these go to:

12. I have persisted. The explosion didn't happen all at once, but after 12 months the explosion is exploding more and more explosively. That means lots of hits, products sold and a rapidly growing database.
