There are arrays of ways to market on the internet, but before we get to
that I want to broaden your thinking about attracting more visitors to
your clients.
According to internet world stats, there are 6,710,029,070 people that
use the internet as of 2008, and this number will only grow in the future
as computers and internet connection becomes more successful in other
countries.
So, since there are so many people that visit many different websites,
then attracting visitors to your site shouldn’t be hard. Many people come
on the internet to carry out a number of functions such as:
− Checking emails
− Purchasing products
− Research and information
− Participate in topics that they are interested in.
− Networking and meeting new people.
− Entertainment purposes.

This does not cover all of the reasons why people use the internet (I
think it’s possible to know all of the reasons), but it gives a good general
overview.
Once you know what people use the internet for, you can better adjust
your marketing campaigns to reach out to them.
A good ole analogy that I like to think of when I want to attract lots of
visitors to my new sites for free is that I have to target online networks
that are generating lots of traffic themselves. This is where that alexa
toolbar comes in hand. Even though alexa is notoriously known to give
questionable data at times, I find it useful when gauging the popularity
of big websites over the internet.
Personally, I like targeting web 2.0 sites because many of their visitors
are very interactive in the sites. They come back to the site often and I
hungry for news and discussing topics that they are interested in.
They also give me lots of quick traffic as well, and for the most part,
they all operate in a similar fashion. So, once you learn how to market on
one of them, it will be easier to master how to effectively market on the
rest of them which makes sense. Anyhow, let’s get to marketing.
