I have run a number of businesses online and the hardest part for me is always getting people to the site. There is always something to sell, or some way to make money, but getting people to check it out is a huge chore. I'm sure this is the hard part for everyone but does anyone have any good tips or comments for me? Espeically if you are a good sales guy or gal. Thanks. _________________ Adam

Hello Protodea!
PPC and SEO are what you're looking for, in case you didn't already know. Depending on your industry, PPC may be a viable form of advertising, though for low-end products it seldom is.
I usually counsel people to start with a modest PPC campaign, which you monitor regularly to make sure that there is actually a positive ROI (but in order to do this, you really need to spend the time learning about how PPC campaigns work, otherwise you're going to end up throwing money out the window!)
Once the PPC campaign is up and running, start to learn how to do SEO. SEO is a long-term strategy that pays for itself many times over, but it takes awhile to see results! Also, because the Internet is a dynamic environment, one needs to keep up on the latest trends in SEO. A good rule of thumb is that, until you know what you are doing, don't read articles or forum/blog posts that are more than a year old--you'll just be wasting your time with outdated information! _________________ Web Management Group: Concentrate on your business, let us worry about your website!

Ya, what business are you into? If you need just traffic then there are various sources. But if you need people to join/sign up into your business opportunity then you may go in for quality leads.
