A piece of the pie
First of all, imagine for a minute and your favorite kind of cake. What is it? Pumpkin? Key Lime? Apple? Mine is Chocolate Cream. Go ahead and let your mind wander with him. Mine is a thick, mousse-y chocolate with a thick crust made from crushed Oreos. It has at least an inch and a half ofWhipped cream on top, with chocolate chips and Hershey's chips at the top.
Mmmmmm ….
Now I'm hungry …
To have your picture in your head? I want to be tempting you, because it is helping to motivate you. Imagine a whole cake, it has stood in front of you, just waiting to be cut and served.
Now here is the question:
Want to eat a piece of that cake and throw away the rest?
No?
Idid not think so. This is actually a rather silly question, right?
OK, here's the analogy: This cake is your total website traffic, or at least the potential of your website. It is big and beautiful and delicious. Traffic in the same way people start at the end, is not it?
You may also notice that your cake has a few slices. That's for your Internet pie. You have a piece that is your search engine efforts. Another segment will linkExchange. Another reason for blogging, and another for forums and e-mail efforts.
I think with the people on that, that everything seem to be doing it to a successful Internet business have to make it on the net, he submit to the search engines, and then people will pound a virtual path to their see the house was. It is true that the search engines is an important part of your marketing strategy, one that you should give a lot of thought and effort. Search engines are possibly thelargest "slice" of your Internet pie. But they are only a slice. There are many other ways to bring traffic to your website, and you should try all of them. Many of them actually improve your search engine rankings bring you, in addition to direct traffic.
Not only taste a slice of the pie. Eat it all!
