One of the biggest days in the life of a young, Naval aviator is when he or she is told what aircraft type they will be flying.

The student of Naval flight is allowed to submit their top choices, and then hopes that one of them will actually be the aircraft they really wanted.  Often the choice is just emotional – the young stud aviator wants the plane with the most perceived glamor, the one that is most talked about… And this can be very similar to how you choose to get traffic to your website.

I was a very unusual student aviator.  I actually chose the aircraft I went to with an element of what would or should be the best choice for me and building a future career.  When I chose to fly the E-2C Hawkeye, I knew no one else would choose it as their first choice.  And by doing so, I would get my first choice.

I really satisfied my deeply hidden need to be doing exactly what I had chosen.  But this may not had been very rational either… after all, it was still an emotional choice.

Commonly, when you choose your way of getting targeted web traffic, it is done much like the young student aviator.  You want the choice with the most “glamor” attached.  You choose the source that is talked about the most, so you gotta have it too.  After all, if it is so hot that everyone is talking about it, it must be the place to be.

How often have you found that doing what everyone is talking about turns out not to be the place to be?

Go ahead, be honest.  No one is listening but you!  You know that the answer is – very often!  You have been there.  But don’t worry, I won’t tell.

Your website traffic generator is not a random operation of glamor and hype.  It takes real nuts and bolt knowledge, and most likely, the best place for you to start is not with the most advanced, most glamorous strategy.

So, where did I start?

I made a big mistake.  I started trying to get pay per click traffic right off the bat.  Low cost, high return, they said.  Can’t be too difficult.  HA!

I tried it myself after reading a hot book, from a top expert.  Do this, tweak that, monitor this, change that…

I got nothing. Then I hired a pay per click expert.  This was really dumb, because I was really broke.  And what did I get?  The expert only bid on high cost keyword phrases that got clicks, no sales, and emptied my already empty pockets.

So much for the glamor.  I went back to basics, and started all over again.  This time I followed the advise of Napoleon Hill.  I sought out expert knowledge, and followed real examples of real pros that are getting hordes of targeted web traffic.

I began a combination of developing a highly targeted blog, with article marketing, and social marketing.  I was broke, so I needed high return for my effort.  Then I tossed in a podcast as well.  The results were I increased my website traffic statistics by close to 5000% in 30 days.

There was no glamor, just results.  I found Tellman Knudson, and his stellar program, Easy Traffic Steps provided me a menu, with complete explanations that spoon fed me choices that I could make high result decisions from.

So, do yourself a big favor…

Quit chasing around one thing after another.  You need to stop looking for the glamor now.  Imagine what you feel like when you increased your targeted web traffic by 2000, 3000, even 5000% in just 30 days.  Have you had that kind of result yet in 30 days?  (Be honest!)

Stop what your doing, and make a very small investment, with a very high return, and start using a targeted web traffic plan written by an expert.  Do it now, don’t keep waiting, or your web traffic will keep passing you by.
