I would look at your keyword phrases, and determine exactly what your visitors want when they arrive at your site. If they are just looking for "free document conversion" for example, you may have a hard time converting them to paying customers. If you would like a site review, you may post a request at my <a href="http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/members/">discussion forum</a>. Hi Rakesh,

Many of the suggestions mentioned, I myself have done, though still did not get the desired traffic. Don't worry network marketing community, these tactics DO WORK, I just don't devote as much time to any of them as I should!! Anyhow, within your post you described ways to market by publishing, though I did not see any links to any sites to do this, this should have been included. Anyway, I decided to give more information regarding your tactic of submitting your site via network publishing. Here are some links to some great article sharing / publishing marketplaces, not only do you have the potential to drive millions to your site, you also have the opportunity to write about anything on your mind, in regards to any area, without any legal woes!! Best of all, these companies pay you to write articles, and your work is instantly on the top ten listings on the first and second pages, with Yahoo and Google, everytime someone searches the net, and uses keywords to find your article, (which I do believe you get to pick and choose keywords and tags at no cost!!) not only is your work noticed, but you are paid at the minimum of $1.50 per click, for every 10,000 clicks and more for more clicks, so on and so forth. Though things may have changed since last I worked with these companies, so double check for yourselves! Once the work is published, it is submitted to many search engines, (at no cost to you of course), and put on the top of the first page or top of the second page!!!! So this is a great way not only to make money from your website, though make money to write. Also, many Hollywood head honchos search through these companies all the time, looking for the next big name, so your work does have the potential to get noticed by some heavy hitters. Okay, I am going to now post the links, I am tired of typing, please save me some time and carpel tunnel, and just look through yourselves for further details: www.associatedcontent.com and www.helium.com also try www.submityourarticle.com. These are all totally free of charge! While we are on the subject of network marketing via blogs and publishing, someone please browse through my site and BUY SOMETHING!!!!!! (lol), http://powerhouse9.ld.net (Thank You!, lol) By the way no application is required these are not jobs, simply sign up and your ready to roll!!! Have fun with it. If you would like further proof in the pudding, just go to any search engine and type up key phrases like " How to save money on College Tuition", there right on the top of Google (first page), you will see an article submitted by me through AC (associated content), in regards to how to save money on college tuition and material costs, without loans or grants, and how to get through college a lot faster than one might think. Okay I'm done, best of luck to everyone!!! Hello Lynn, just read your article regarding free ways to send traffic (your 10 suggestions) to a site totally free of charge.

Would it also be good to have a separate landing page site to offer an ebook and get contact info that way as well? In other words would that be more effective to do both?

They can freely surf your navigation, but the headline should pull them into the content -> should compel them to request the info -> and the info should impress them and encourage them to stay tuned to your follow-ups.

I have a website, a blog and a Squidoo lens. As a coach I have a sense that it makes more sense to direct traffic to my website where people can get an overall sense about me. However, I have gotten the impression from various sources that it would be better to direct initial traffic (from my blog, lens and articles) to a one or two page landing page or 'squeeze page'. The enticer would be a free e-book. What do you think is a better approach: just directing people to my website where they can see the e-book offer and submit their email or a landing page to capture their email first? Hi Lynn,
