Chances are that you have already implemented some strategies to generate traffic to your website, but if you’re not getting the volume of traffic that you had anticipated, you may be considering bringing in a “hired gun” (an expert) to boost your numbers. Before you take that plunge, let’s look at some of the reasons that you might not be getting as many visitors to your website as you’d like.
Marketing Plan – Have you Got One?
Marketing is a time-consumptive activity – that’s a given. However, if you want traffic, you’re going to have to work for it. Unlike the movie Field of Dreams, the “if we build it they will come” mentality will get you basically nowhere when it comes to traffic generation for your website. There are literally billions of websites on the Internet, so there’s a slim chance anyone will find yours unless you tell them about it – or have great SEO skills and tons of quality backlinks to support your wishes.
If traffic isn’t coming – drag them in! Your marketing plan should have sound lines of attack that will keep a steady flow of traffic coming your way. A good marketing campaign might include PPC campaigns, email marketing, article marketing, social networking, and more.

If you are an email marketer, nothing is more important to you than your sender reputation. One way that you can ensure that your sender reputation remains unstained by the big ISPs is to always use a permission-based double opt-in mailing list for all of your campaigns. Using a double opt-in affords you some extra protection against getting marked as “spam” – which is detrimental to not only your sender reputation but also your response rate. Besides – double opt-in leads are much higher quality leads than other types because the subscriber has went an extra step by verifying their interest in what you have to offer.
Why Double Opt-In?
The difference between a single (regular) opt-in and a double opt-in is the difference between hamburger and steak – figuratively speaking, of course. A single opt-in only requires that the prospect (usually a visitor to your website) gives their first name, last name, and primary email address when signing up for a newsletter, requesting a special offer or promo item, or registering for your site. Typically, a single opt-in is automatically confirmed in your database, without verification of any information that has been transmitted.
