The ability to monitor website traffic is absolutely essential if you are serious about growing your online business and you have the desire to increase the amount of visitors you receive.

Being able to see where your visitors come from, how long they spend on your website and what content they view etc gives you an absolutely invaluable insight into what is working (and what isn’t) in your business right now…

Let’s say you check your statistics and find that one particular traffic source (for example the Warrior forum) has sent 500 people to your website in the last two days. That’s a pretty hot source and it shows you that you should probably spend some more time promoting your site on the Warrior Forum. You also notice that from that traffic source 100 of them signed up to your mailing list on the homepage – this indicates that the traffic this website is sending to you is pretty targeted and that they are definitely interested in the content you are providing.

Here are the best free tools to monitor website traffic.

1. Google Analytics

This is probably the most well known tool of them all and it provides an excellent level of information. You simply insert some code onto your website (Google provides this for you and it is very easy to install) and from that the system tracks visitors to your site. You can get a general snapshot of your sites traffic, as well as more detailed information such as referring websites, visitor locations, time spent on your website, average page views, the top performing pages, etc (the list is almost endless.) Google Analytics also has the advantage that it links in nicely if you are using Google Adwords to promote your website.

1. StatCounter

This is another pretty well known and (in my opinion) excellent tool. StatCounter provides a similar level of information to monitor website traffic and has its own special features too. It works in a similar way to Analytics, so it is pretty simple to set up.

1. Your Hosting Account

Many hosting accounts come together with a tool already installed which will monitor traffic to your website. The advantage here is that it is all built into your hosting package and there is often no need to install any tracking code (useful if you feel especially daunted by the process of doing so.)

Whichever tool you use (and there are many others besides the ones I have mentioned) the data it provides you is very useful indeed. Look for overall trends and analyse how visitors interact with your website. Doing this on a regular basis can improve the performance of your website in a big way.

One way backlinks is one of the best and most effective ways to get high positions in search engines and milk these positions for targeted traffic. But getting quality one way links is a big job.

Free Traffic System is a new project that helps you to get top quality one way links for free – unlimited number of one way links, because you build as many as you need. Moreover, Free Traffic System has integrated a brand new concept of viral marketing, rewarding its members with bonus one way links.

Before getting to the viral part of the project, it is important to explain where exactly you are getting these backlinks. The backlinks are built inside real blog posts, not in the footer or blogroll – in the very body of the real, unique blog post. This is the most safe way to build one way links, because you give real unique content to the visitors in the blog posts and search engines will always welcome it – search engines were created to help people in finding quality information in the Internet.

You get backlinks from relevant sites that belong to real people in different niches. Natural, safe and smart way to build backlinks for free. You submit one article to Free Traffic System and it converts into up to 60 top quality one way backlinks! And – unlike traditional article marketing – no one will delete your backlinks from the article, like they do when stealing your content from article directories.

The viral part of Free Traffic System is simple – they reward people for bringing others into this free project. You are receiving a BONUS backlink on every 3rd post that people whom you referred to Free Traffic System are making. This means you get bonus backlink on article No 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, etc. of all people who got into the system via the affiliate link.

As every article can be republished on up to 30 sites in Free Traffic System, this means that one article with your bonus link equals to 30 backlinks from Free Traffic System. 2 articles = 60 bonus backlinks, 3 articles = 90 bonus backlinks. And this is in addition to the unlimited backlinks that you can build inside Free Traffic System yourself.

And the final perk of the viral strategy. If you add at least one WordPress blog to Free Traffic System, they instantly increase the number of bonus backlinks by 7%.

So, in Free Traffic System you get:

- free backlinks that you build yourself
- viral bonus backlinks for affiliating people into the project
- viral bonus backlinks for adding your blog(s) to Free Traffic System

With this free backlink building power targeted traffic from search engines becomes just a matter of time.

I’ve Been BURSTING To Tell You About This!

AND AT LAST I CAN TELL YOU

Last month a couple of friends of mine – Tahir Shah
and Matt Garrett finished a new service they’d been working
on. Some partners of mine put it to a test.

It is important to watch this video TO THE END..

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO

After just one week of using TWITTOLLOWER they were so
gob-smacked at the results that I wanted to email you to tell
you about it – but launch was not to be until late January!

BUT I was two hours on Skype *today* bugging Tahir to let me
give you a headstart over the rest of the IM crowd because
that’s the only way I could insure this special pre-launch
offer to you. (at the end of the video, 200 get in only)

**You now have a SERIOUS advantage over most other people
in Internet Marketing – no kidding**

So what’s all this about and why am I raving?

We’re talking about getting thousands of TARGETED followers on
Twitter, to your niche, each and every month, without doing
anything. (60 seconds of work)

I’ve tried all the services to do this, as you know.

Nothing could be easier than this “set and forget” do-nothing
service to get a targeted massive follower base.

Watch the video which explains it here:

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO

It took me 60 seconds, SIXTY SECONDS to set up my account.

On of my colleagues set up his test account in November, starting
from scratch.. and now has:

OVER 5,000 FOLLOWERS WHO ACTIVELY READ HIS TWEETS!

And they’re REAL people with a REAL interest in the niches you
choose (Internet Marketing is my niche), and who visit your
sites and will buy your products.

What’s even better is that Matt & Tahir’s service allows you to
legally, ethically and effectively grab (we won’t use
the word “steal”, ok?) the followers from big name marketers in
your niche, such as Mike Filsaime, Willie Crawford and dozens
of others (you can choose more if you like, but as I said, it
is automated)

…And they won’t know a thing about it!

THEN ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TWEET TO YOUR NEW FOLLOWERS AND
ENJOY THE TRAFFIC AND THE LEADS AND SALES IT BRINGS!

I was going to put together this very service myself,
but Tahir and Matt frankly did an even better job.

This is a serious early-bird offer. I am one of only six
marketers – Tahir, Matt and three other marketers who are
able to offer this to you today.

Here’s what to do:

Tahir has made a video explaining fully how this service works.

1. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO – The video is over 30 minutes
long but it’s the only way you can lock into this unique service
at the earlybird price.

===> http://www.craigdawber.com/recommends/twitter/

2. Grab a drink and a snack, and watch it TO THE END
- You can’t get in any other way. They’re telling you how it works
and what it can do for you before you buy – how many other
marketers do that?

3. Decide if it’s for you (and it really should be:)

4. Lock in your place
(I get a commission for telling you about this, but I would be
doing exactly the same even if I didn’t).

You can build a real, effective Twitter account THAT YOU
CAN MARKET TO in a matter of weeks without HAVING TO DO
ANY WORK AT ALL. (even days!)

This service does it all for you.

- It’s limited.

- The lock-in prices are limited.

- This is a genuine early bird opportunity and I’m glad I’m in a
position to tell you about it.

Is Twitter A Time Waste Or A Powerful Business Tool?

Ever since the interception of this powerful microblogging platform known as the Twitter, both online and offline business owners are rushing to get their own pieces of cakes and hopefully finding something beneficial for their respective businesses. Whether Twitter is a time waste or a powerful business tool is very personal and it very much depends on how you spend your time on Twitter.

You could be spending hours on twitter sending messages telling the world what you ate for lunch or what are you planning for dinner. Similarly, you could also be spending the same amount of quality time tweeting messages that sell your business or create a brand for yourself. So, which are the upsides of Twitter that you can fully make use of to maximize your business profits?

1. Ability To Keep In Touch With The World In Real Time

Honestly, what beats the ability to be able to send your contacts message any time and where in the world in real time? Your followers get updates about you or your business on the go and this sort of communication is very important in building up healthy business relationships. Always remember, communication is the key to the success of your business.

2. Build Up A Brand Name For Yourself

Have you ever thought of how powerful a tweet message from a popular web celebrity can get? There are many cases of famous bloggers who tweeted an affiliate link in less than 140 characters and made $800 plus profit within a day and that makes $24,000 a month! This could be your long term goal as a business owner and tweeter and that is to build up your massive number of followers and also your own brand name along the course.

3. Messages Kept Short And Straight To The Point

This is no need to beat about the bush if you want to sell your business well. Do not underestimate the power of the 140 characters message that you can send through Twitter because this is where you are going to convince your followers to click on the link and read what you have for them! Make use of words like “Secrets Revealed”, “Tips To…” or even “ Learn How To…” because these are the hypnotic money making words that have proven to bring a higher Click Through Rate (CTR). Humans are curious creatures.

If you are able to follow these strong points and advantages to your best then Twitter is definitely on your side of the game. If you have been discouraged by someone telling you that Twitter is a waste of time for your business, then prove them wrong with these believes and techniques. Always bear in mind that branding is very important in building up your business and be thankful that such a powerful microblogging tool has surfaced to meet your business needs.
