(Web Traffic)
Wow, this can be construed in so many ways. There’s auto-surf, of which seems to be one of the lower forms of advertising. IN this a person, or a chair is in front of the computer while every 30 seconds the page renews itself with a new website..Then there’s the aggressive approach, traffic can be done by blogging (forced visitors),pages bouncing out at them. This is an avenue that I have gone down, but it brings about a feeling that you’re really just spamming people. Then there is targeted and untargeted web traffic. I’ve learned that targeted is much better. During these campaigns you can see how many people view your site each hour/day,etc. Its kind of interesting. You should go into your webstats to see how long people are staying. Pay per click is another form of getting web traffic, which is very expensive, but effective.

(Banners, Logos, Featured adds)
You can pay to have banners exposed, or pay for a featured add to be added to a popular search engine. Whats nice about this is you can get premo attention because its ussually highlighted in some fashion, depending on the search engine. The downside is its expensive. Logos are neat, but how effective they really are, I’m not sure…I know featured adds are effective, but pricey. Whichever avenues you go down, you take as a learning experience and the larger your business grows the more confidence you get. It is most important to surround yourself by good people and make sure you are selling a good product. My site travelplanonline.com is a rooky in an overpopulated boxing ring of travel agencies. My outlook is still positive and I know with hard work and effort I can look forward to some success.
