Lately I’ve been visiting some “newbie” forums and a question I see again and again is “How do I get more traffic to my website?”

Of course, this is a concern of nearly all website owners, but I think it’s especially relevant for newbies because, well, they’re newbies. This is their first attempt to build an online business and they’re trying to ‘learn the ropes’ so they can make some money.

What a lot of newbies don’t realize is that simply getting a lot of visitors to their website does not necessarily translate into sales. In fact, many postings indicate exactly this. For example, one person wrote, “People are clicking on my sites, but no one ever purchases.”

It’s not brain surgery, folks. If you want to make sales, you have to attract people to your website who are ready to buy. In other words, you have to target your traffic.

There are numerous ways to do this and forum posters often mention many of them. But for a newbie, I feel some of this information is ‘overload.’ That’s why I’m offering an Ebook in which everything is laid out, step-by-step, on how to get targeted traffic to your website and start making money.

The Ebook is called “Red Hot Traffic in 10 Days” and it’s written especially for new website owners (but others who are experiencing a traffic draught will benefit from its contents as well).

You will especially like the fact that you can become an affiliate and make 100% commission! That’s right. Make one sale and you will immediately recoup your investment! Such a deal!

Check it out! I believe you’ll see results almost immediately if you follow the steps outlined in the Ebook.

If you’ve had an online business for any length of time at all, you recognize the importance of website traffic. You’re keenly aware that no visitors equals no sales. So you’ve put considerable effort into attracting people to your website by writing articles, utilizing Google Adwords, participating in forums, exchanging links, etc., And your hard work has paid off. You’ve earned a respectable position in the search engine results and you’re getting a regular stream of visitors to your website.

But something’s wrong. You’re not getting any sales!

Naturally, there are countless reasons why people don’t buy a certain product or service. For example, it may not be exactly what they’re looking for, the price doesn’t fit their budget, someone else is offering a better deal, etc.

But all too often, the primary reason website visitors aren’t buying is because the website isn’t user-friendly.

What’s a user-friendly website? In simplest terms, it’s a website where your visitors can quickly find what they’re looking for and easily make their purchase.

It encompasses the design and layout, the navigation menu, the sales message, the images, the use of colors and fonts, the general content, the ordering process … in fact, all the elements that make up a website.

But probably the most important element in this list is the navigation menu because if people get lost in your website, they’re going to leave.

A navigation menu needs to clearly show the way through your website. There needs to be enough links to give visitors an overview of your site’s content — but not so many that they have to click repeatedly to reach their desired destination.

It’s been shown that most people are fairly persistent. They’ll click on several links in an effort to find what they want — but the frustration level builds with each additional click.

It’s not unlike trying to call someone at a company and being presented with an automated menu. The voice starts out by giving you variety of options and you enter the one that seems to most closely fit your needs. Then you’re presented with another set of options, so you enter another number – only to be given more options. You try again. Finally, after going down several levels, you may or may not reach the department you originally wanted.

Did you enjoy the experience? Or did you hang up in total frustration?

Always remember that your website visitors are not nameless, faceless entities. They’re real people with real needs. And the more you can help them to find what they want on your website, the better chance you’ll have of making a sale.
