What Is A Traffic Assistant?

In very simple terms, a Personal Traffic Assistant is someone who will carry out all the functional tasks associated with building web site traffic and assist you on an administrative level.



Any online business – big or small – requires massive amounts of laser-targeted traffic to make it a success. Building web site traffic and getting better search engine rankings requires a lot of hard work and can take up many a precious hour. A Personal Traffic Assistant is the perfect way for you to spend your precious hours managing and expanding your business instead of spending all your time conducting mundane online tasks that are easily outsourced to a trained professional.





A large percentage of online businesses are in fact one-person shows. In some cases the web business may be run by two or three people and in most cases the team is less than five.



For small and home-based Internet businesses, a Traffic Assistant is the perfect way to cut costs and hire someone without the need for a greater infrastructure. Most small business owners are multi-tasking and so busy being Jack or Jill-of-all-trades they forget to enjoy their business. They find themselves working 24/7 and wishing there were more hours in a day.



Well, with Traffic Assistants that’s exactly what Internet business owners get. Using the right tools to run an Internet business can cut back the amount of time spent on any given task by more than half. For e.g.: Users of keyword Companion (an Internet based keyword research tool) found that they saved 800% of the time they were originally spending on researching and managing keywords by using this tool. Similarly, the Traffic Assistants are like tools you can use to save massive amounts of the time you spend on building targeted web site traffic.



The time you save on doing the tasks required for web site traffic promotion can be then used to plan, create and implement and business strategies that will take your business to a whole new level.



For larger business organizations too, Traffic Assistants are the perfect way to get things done faster and cheaper. The cost of setting up a web site traffic promotion cell is immense. Building infrastructure, hiring staff, providing training and then continuously monitoring and tweaking the results can be rather expensive. For businesses that like to focus on their product innovation, marketing and sales, building web site traffic is like having to learn a whole separate business from scratch.



Outsourcing web site traffic building and promotion means the business can then focus on its core competencies without worrying about things that are outside its area of expertise.

Fast Traffic

• You want traffic right now, you need it quickly to make some money, and so far you have not been getting much traffic and need it desperately.
• Your sites can be a well constructed sales site, or content site, or just a basic webpage site.
• You may have sites that have not done correct keyword research, and be targeting the wrong keywords for getting traffic.
• Perfect if you have only a few pages, and not looking to build their site out into a large content site, just want to send traffic to your small sites.

The Best Processes for Fast Traffic:

• Keyword Research – We find keywords through our research and analysis that have little competition and can get fast rankings in the search engines, thus fast traffic. Once this is done you can create content on your site, which we can link to.
• Squidoo.com Pages – From the keyword research the client can create a squidoo lens (which we have squidooprocess.doc), or the TA can create the squidoo lens, with a mini sales pitch with 4 links going to client's site and an article with 2 links for each keyword. Will build one squidoo page for one keyword. Then link to the squidoo page. This process actually will get rankings between 1 – 3 weeks.
• The reason why this process works so well in getting fast rankings is due to the fact that we are building a page on the back of squidoo.com which google see's a 'reputable' site, so can quickly get rankings. Then from the squioo page, link to your site.
• Link to squidoo pages through blog commenting, forum posting and social bookmarking.
• Hubpages.com – Same process as above, client or TA create hubpage then the TA links to that hubpage. That page is about one keyword, and get fast rankings.
• Craigslist --> Blogger – This process can deliver good amount of traffic over about a week. Is best if you are a Full Time client, won't get the same results with a part-time client. This process is purely short term, will generate traffic, but will die once work is stopped.
• Objective is to setup Ads that are personal linking to blogger blog that has all the inf about the product which then links to ebay or an affiliate ecommerce site. Will always link directly to the product page.
• Will post every ad in a different city in craigslist and a different category of product every second post.
• You will need to sign up to ebay as an affiliate through cj.com , or sign up and promote affiliate products, which they will provide the products and the affiliate link to go with each product.
• Myspace with Adder Software – Using adder software such as friendblasterpro to add friends to profiles and make comments. Can get 1000's of visitors a/day with a Full Time TA, not worth it for a client that is part-time.
• For best results, want the Client to create 10 personal profiles, that don't promote their site, just about their target market.
• Send a message out with friend request
• Get youtube embedded code from you with a link going back to your site. Youtube videos with a link under the video works the best for traffic.
• Stumbleupon with Stumbleexhange.com – Using stumbleupon, you create 2 profiles, then using these 2 profiles to exchange links with other stumbleupon users within stumbleexchange.com
• Great way of getting increased visitors straight away to your site. You need to setup stumbleupon profile, and setup submbleexchange accounts, then TA can start exchanging links.
• You will need to setup titles and descriptions of the links that will be exchanged.
• Essentially your site will be linked on many stumbleupon profiles.
• Video Submission & linking to Video pages – Want to get your client to create 2-5 min videos with a webcam.
• For the content of the video, get them to simply read out articles they have in front of the webcam.
• We then can submit this video to video.google.com.
• We put a link back to an internal page on client's site in the description.
• Take the embedded code of the video and give to client to put on their site as a new page.
• Now link to that video page through social bookmarking and blog commenting.
