In the never ending endeavor to get traffic to our websites we are always hunting around the net to find out how other people are getting clicks and generating traffic to there site. The problem with this idea, is that if we do the same things that other people are doing we are going to get the same results as the majority of people that are trying to promote there website.

I don’t know if you know it or not, but ninety nine percent of people that try internet marketing fail. And they fail most of the time because of not enough targeted traffic. A lot of people out there marketing are spending huge amounts of money on failed Pay Per Click campaigns, or wasting time and money on the next ultimate super secret. The truth of the matter is that you have to do things different then the rest, or you’re going to continue to struggle and spend more on advertising your business then you’re going to make in profits.

In order for you to get more traffic to your website you’re going to have to think outside of the box to expand your traffic options. To give an example instead of thinking of trying to get more clicks to your links. You could ask your self how I can get more people to my website. We forget those clicks we’re looking for are people that are clicking on there mouse key. I think this helps us to find more traffic to our websites when were looking for people instead of clicks, because people and clicks are two different things.

It makes us as marketers look at things from anther point of reference and enables us to come up with new innovative ideas. So when you stop looking for clicks and start looking for something more tangible like people. It opens a door in your mind and gives you a different prospective on things. You can then take this a bit further and ask yourself, were do large numbers of people get together? This opens a lot of new possibilities you would not have thought of. Because you will find a lot of people offline as well as online. You won’t find many clicks offline, at least not the kind you’re looking for.

One idea I get from this line of thought, is a classified ad in one of the major newspapers with a nation wide readership. You would get millions of eyes seeing your ad. And if you look at the exposure you’re getting in relation to the cost. You will find this type of advertising can bring you visitors to your website for fractions of a cent, as compared to online advertising like Pay Per Click. There are also many magazines that have world wide readership that you could buy advertising in. And the great thing with these forms of advertising is that they stay around for a long time after there printed. Magazines can get handed around to a lot of different people. You might have many people read the same magazine at the doctor’s office wile waiting to see the doctor.

Other places people go is to the beach. What if you had a bunch of flip-flops made up with your website address in the soles of them, and gave them to vender’s at large beaches to give to people. All those people leaving your web address in the sand. Well that’s a little wild but it gives you an idea of were you can go with this trend of thought.

Now all this from just posing one question in your head a little differently, allowed you to explore other possibilities you would not have thought of. The people that are successful are the one’s that come up with new ideas and products. They are the leader and not follower. It is like that with everything in life; it is the explorer the fellow in front that will find the gold first. You will find this rule will apply in your online marketing ventures as well. So you have to think outside the box and find some unexplored ideals.
