Using eBay to Generate Traffic
by John Thornhill on 2007-09-22
Go the eBay way!!!
You have a website and you are desperately trying to increase the web traffic. Have you considered using eBay? EBay is perhaps the most cost effective solution to promote you website and subsequently generate more traffic for your website. Well, this is how it works….
You are not the only one out there looking for ways to generate more traffic. There are millions of website owners trying to carve their niche in the virtual world by advertising their website using a solid marketing tool. Unfortunately, most overlook the significance of ebay and the pivotal role it plays in website promotion. With more than 65 million registered users worldwide who browse on the eBay website every now and then to buy or sell products, it shouldn't be difficult to guess what it would be like if even five percent of these users were drawn to your website..…
The good news is …. You can actually pull this traffic to your website and that too it is very simple! All you need to do is have a good eBay ‘Me' page for your eBay ID. Allow me to explain. Let us assume a particular potential customer looks at your auctions and your ID. On the same page, they will see a small "Me" icon that is linked to your Me page which can be in turn linked to your website. For instance, you are a website owner and sell a course on how to promote your business using the Internet. Now if you want to pull some of the eBay traffic, you may begin by compiling a small report on what Internet marketing is all about and offer it for sale at an incredibly low price. While the report should essentially include interesting and relevant stuff about Internet marketing, it should also pre-sell the main product – setting up your own business course that's for sale on your website.
Although this will be the proposed action plan, you will need a powerful auction advertisement along with an enticing ‘Me' page to divert online communities to your website.
Go for a "Featured Plus" auction in order to top the auction list. It should preferably be a Dutch auction so that you can sell several items through the same auction. Don't forget to add an enticing title to grab the attention of all those precious visitors whom you are counting on to advance your business. Many website owners have offered something for free on their ‘Me' page so that visitors are compelled to check out your site.
Do try out these ‘tried and trusted formulas' .. they have worked wonders for others and will surely work out for you as well!!!
