There is a difference between purchasing real targeted traffic and services to just increase website traffic.

To purchase real, targeted traffic you can use Pay-Per-Click advertising, through a service such as Google AdWords. When you purchase traffic using this method, the traffic is targeted – and real. You don’t pay for a certain number of traffic, you pay for each click, as the name, pay-per-click, indicates.

Now, if you don’t know what you are doing, Pay-Per-Click can be expensive, and ineffective. It is important that you make sure that you write a targeted ad, first and foremost. It is also essential that you select the right keywords, and that you bid the right amount on those keywords. We will cover this subject in more detail in one of our future training modules.

Google AdWords really makes this very easy. You can type in your main keyword, and they will give you a list of other related keywords that apply as well. Next, when you set the amount you are willing to pay, per click, for each keyword, you can use the traffic analysis tools in Google AdWords to see where your ad will be listed, based on what you are paying per click, and how much traffic you can expect from it. Raise your bid price until you see that you will be listed where you want to be (preferably the first page of search results).

PPC can be very expensive. Make sure that you know how much you can afford to spend on these ads each week, divide it by seven, and set a daily budget up in your AdWords account. Also specify how you want those funds spread out through the day.

You can also use a service that guarantees you traffic (not so reliable and not so targeted). Some of those websites promise to deliver you thousands of hits in a twenty four hour period. It might help some ranking over time, but will do little to increasing you business. Before you decide on just traffic services, take a close look at those services. How they are generating the traffic? Is it real traffic? Is it human or computer generated traffic?

But never waste your traffic! Make sure that you are capturing first names and email addresses from the people that arrive at your website through PPC advertising ir any other traffic generation!
