Internet Marketing, China Traffic, Mexico’s Miss Universe and Making $100,000 on YouTube: What your business can learn from traffic trends, viral videos and beauty contests

Internet marketing is all about driving traffic to your website. At SalemGlobal we excel at driving traffic to our website as well as our client’s sites. Unfortunately we can not help the poor drivers in China who have had traffic for over a week. But the wrong kind of traffic. The drivers outside of Beijing have been stuck in a traffic jam that has lasted nine days and is over 100 kilometers long. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100823/sc_afp/chinaroadtraffic) Now we can’t promise to drive that much traffic to your site overnight but if you follow the advice of this blog then you will no doubt see your traffic increase over time.

One way to do this is through YouTube. If you read this blog regularly then you know that we fully support the use of YouTube to drive traffic to your site but if you still don’t believe us ask the people who make over $100,000 annually just by creating YouTube videos and putting ads on them. http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/meet-the-youtube-stars-making-100000-plus-per-year-535349.html.

Another way to drive traffic to your site is to purchase domain names related to your business’ keywords and build blogs and marketing sites on them. They don’t have to be complete sites that have all your information on them. It’s not a beauty contest (like the Miss Universe contest won by Mexico’s Jimena Navarrete http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100824 /people_nm/us_missuniverse), the site doesn’t have to be beautiful it just needs to exist and be found by the search engines.

For example Millennium Personnel Corp (www.MPC-NYC.com) is a New York based staffing agency and resume writers. They’re main keywords are resume, personnel staffing and office support. So they purchased these domain names: nycpersonnel.com, newyorkcityresume.com, staffingny.net and officesupportnewyorkcity.com and put a blog on each one. These blogs are not only helpful to their applicants and clients but also help to drive traffic to their main site since every blog post ends with “for more information check out our main site…” and if this sounds familiar…
