How To Create Your
Own Perpetual Traffic Machine
By Titus Hoskins (c) 2008
The Internet is such an unknown commodity anything is possible.
One of the most intriguing questions concerns the idea of a perpetual traffic
machine. Create a website and design a system of automatic programs (both
interior and exterior) that delivers content and back-links to a site that
updates itself automatically and keeps growing without any help from the
creator. In the process you build a flow of traffic that never stops, even if
the site is abandoned or not touched for a couple of years or never again.
Is such a perpetual
traffic system really possible?
Before you conjure up pictures of HAL and creepy talking computers
in distant space... realize that question may carry more weight than it would
seem at first glance. But
is it like its predecessor, the perpetual motion machine - just
more an illusion than actual fact?
For curiosity's sake if for nothing else, the idea of a perpetual
traffic machine does require further investigation. Such a system would have
special interest for millions of webmasters whose main task is acquiring traffic
for their sites, not to mention the potential for monetary gain a PTM (rhymes
with ATM) would produce. Some credence was given to the idea recently when Tinu
Abayomi-Paul, a well-known online free traffic expert, produced with the help
of Marlon Sanders an info-product entitled "The evergreen Traffic
Machine."
Tinu's story is very interesting. Tinu had built up a whole array
of sites and optimized them successfully for countless keywords in all the
major search engines. She had
built up a steady flow of traffic, resulting in thousands of
visitors "a day" to her sites. This in itself is not that
extraordinary, but that's not the full story.
Because of a personal illness she abandoned or left alone most
of her sites for over a year or more - only to discover the traffic systems she
had put into place didn't just dry up, they still kept producing tons of traffic
even though the sites weren't being updated.
The traffic was still
coming. The traffic was still fresh.
Tinu basically built her perpetual traffic system around three
major areas: High Profile Article Marketing, Exact Keyword Focus and
Blogging/RSS Feeds. Tinu's system proves
you can create a traffic system for a year or two, but the real
question is will it still produce traffic five years from now? Fifty years from
now? How about a hundred years?
The real question: how long will such a system work without fresh
input of unique content like the viral articles and blog posts now feeding it?
This question is even more
tantalizing when you consider it is now possible to create fresh
content on your sites with RSS feeds, blog comments and user contributed
content.
What's more intriguing is the fact that all aspects of a website
can be automated, including payment for all renewals: domain, hosting,
autoresponders... as well as the
collection of revenues such as affiliate commissions and advertising
fees.
Are we at the stage where the Internet will be filled with these
automated human-less web sites drawing traffic/visitors and slowly building and
expanding on their own for eternity? Many cynics would argue this is already the
case with the majority of sites on the web.
In case you like that
idea and want to fully embrace this brave new automated perpetual Internet,
here are a few tips to create your own eternal traffic machine:
1. Build lists
and pre-load your AR system with follow-up messages to keep visitors coming
back to your site. You can rotate these messages and ask your subscribers to
opt-in to different lists on related subject areas. Always ask your readers to
recommend your content to others.
2. Use social
bookmark software or links so that your visitors can easily bookmark your
content which brings in both new links and new traffic. Simple programs like
the one offered by Addthis.com will get your visitors building your backlinks
for you, bringing in fresh visitors who in turn will also bookmark your
content.
3. Write viral
articles, reports and ebooks that have your backlinks in the resource
boxes. Likewise, viral software programs can help bring a constant flow of
traffic to your site. If your content is of a high quality and your themes universal...
new sites will pick up your content and build your backlinks, creating fresh
traffic. The search engines will also index these new links and your rankings
will increase, bringing in more traffic.
4. Use blogging and
RSS feeds to get your content out there. You can also use these RSS feeds
to bring in new fresh content to your site. Creating new content will be your
main obstacle to creating perpetual traffic... you can get new content from
feeds but will it be unique? Comments in your blogs could bring in unique
content but if you're not monitoring them, you must have solid software in
place to fight against spam.
5. Have "Tell a
Friend" forms on all your content. This will bring new traffic to your
site, which can be self-refreshing as new people discover your content.
6. Encourage user
generated content such as articles, comments, posts... you can even have a
community monitoring system where your site's members monitor this new content.
7. Form JV alliances
with webmasters in your related field. Do co-registration so that you help
build each other's lists and traffic.
8. Likewise, if
you have products to sell, create an affiliate program to get your affiliates
to build your traffic for you. Affiliates are an excellent source of permanent
traffic.
9. Automate all
aspects of the running and managing of your website. Set up automatic
payments for your AR system, hosting, domain renewal, PPC payments... thru
PayPal or
credit card. Likewise, receive affiliate commissions thru PayPal
or direct deposit. Many advertising programs like Google Adsense offer direct
deposit.
10. PPC Traffic -
While we have mainly looked at free traffic systems, don't forget creating a
PTM is relatively easy with Pay Per Click advertising if you know what you're
doing. Target less competitive keywords to keep your costs down,
tie this traffic into a good squeeze page for feeding your AR system with leads
and have a good landing page that converts. You can create a system that
delivers perpetual traffic and pays for itself from your affiliate commissions and
advertising fees.
In summary, the
argument for the existence of the PTM mainly relies upon the quality of your
content or site. Is it unique enough to draw in new visitors? Does your topic
have universal appeal that people never tire of? Does it solve
or offer advice on a common human problem? Will or does it have a viral
"word of mouth" element to it?
As we move to a more and more automated world, all the automated
programs and hardware are in place for the creation of such perpetual traffic
machines.
Computers,
autoresponders, content management software, RSS feeds, viral marketing, direct
deposit, automatic payments... and the list goes on. If we haven't already
created the perpetual traffic machine - we are getting tangibly
close to doing just that.

With a perspective gained from over a decade marketing
online, I sometimes get frustrated by how “spoiled” we are today as online
marketers. I would have killed for all the choices we enjoy today for pulling
traffic to our sites outside of the search engines back when they were among
the few choices we had for getting traffic.
When sitting at an all-you-can-eat buffet of traffic, just
like a real buffet, you will get full fast. And you will lament the fact that
you wanted to eat so much more before you got full.
Realize that you have tomorrow, next week, and next month to
sample from this social media buffet. It is the largest buffet ever created and
you’ll never get much out of it if you try to eat it all at once.
Get into the flow of social media marketing. Swim in the
opportunities that exist to bring your site targeted, willing readers and
customers. Don’t try to master it in a month. Put it to work for you in the
time you have allotted each day, week, and month.
Gradually you will feel at peace in your part of the vast
ocean of places to grab traffic and links and you will become comfortable in
the knowledge that it will always be there to supply you with what you need,
when you need it.
Are you a busy professional? Do you ever feel taxed and
over-burdened by the multiple tasks you have to complete? Do you wish there was
a simple, yet effective tool you could use, to instantly revive and motivate
you? Something you could do, whilst at your desk to help release some of the
tension, stress or worry you feel.
The art of massage is a beautiful gift you can give to
yourself. Massage is a particular useful practice to help your body relax and
your mind to slow down. If you are not able to go for a massage, don't worry.
Practice the following four simple Self- Massage Techniques
and feel energized, strong and calm again.
One: Sit comfortably, straight spine, feet flat on the
floor. Place your fingers on your ear lobes and "walk" your fingers
around your ears. Gently pull your ears as you massage them. Repeat 3 -5 times
in both directions. Smile as you do this.
Two: Pretend to chew a large piece of gum up and down and
round and round, keep your mouth open and focus on wriggling your nose.
Three: Gently massage your eyebrows with your fingers, walk
your fingers around the bridge of your nose. Open your mouth, lightly tap your
cheeks with your fingers and make a long "Haa sound!
Four: Use your fingertips to lightly tap the centre of your
upper chest area. Use your fists (knuckles) and tap firmly for a more active stimulation.
If you are able to, be Tarzan and YELL "Ahh...".as you thump your
chest.
Five: Close your eyes and sit quietly for a few moments as
you relax into the experience.
