Michael Cheney Talks Traffic:
Interview With A Traffic Expert
Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet
marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind
the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos and 11 Days To List
Profits. He has unveiled a new videos product - "
Michael's Traffic Videos" which covers
everything to do with traffic and comes with 100,000
instant ad credits and a tailored Fast-Track To Traffic
Action Plan.
We managed to grab some time with him recently and quiz him
on his favorite topic - traffic.
You'll get a lot out of this interview including a killer
40-page E-book on traffic that Michael has written to help
you avoid the Top 20 Traffic Disasters!
So let's get started.
Q. Firstly Michael, thank you for joining
us today in your busy schedule.
A. Hey no problem. Good to be here.
Q. We all know that traffic is important
but could you just explain a bit about traffic for the
beginners out there?
A. Sure. Traffic is the lifeblood of any
business online. Without it you just die. We all know that.
But what a lot of us don't realize is that just like
everything else on the Internet traffic changes very
quickly. That is, the methods of getting traffic are
changing all the time and that's where people get caught
out.
Q. What do you mean by "caught out"?
A. Well people fall into the trap of
thinking that just because they know one or two traffic
generation methods that they are some sort of traffic
master. In reality just because you know how to start a pay
per click campaign or a little bit about search engines
doesn't make you anywhere near a traffic expert. I'm trying
to spread the word that there is a massive array of traffic
tactics that most people aren't even aware of, let alone
using or mastering.
Q. Can you give us some examples?
A. Sure. Offline for example. You might
immediately think that getting traffic is a purely online
activity but the truth of the matter is that there are lots
of things you can be doing offline to get people into your
website. And it's usually these sorts of areas that are
being under-utilized and therefore there is less
competition for that traffic as well.
Q. So by offline you mean advertising offline?
A. Not necessarily. That is one method,
yes, but I'm thinking of more creative ways to get people
into your website. It all comes down to the fact that
having asked people on my list it came as no surprise that
most people want to know about free rather than paid
traffic sources. I've had to become an expert in free ways
of getting traffic in my time online.
Q. What do you mean - I thought you were
running a successful online business with lots of cashflow?
A. I am. But it's not always been this way.
When I first started out in 1995 I had nothing. No money to
play with. Just my own initiative and imagination.
Q. So are you saying you're against paying
for traffic online?
A. No. No I'm not saying that at all. What
I'm saying is that, especially when you first start out,
you always want to focus on the free methods. You get the
traffic in for free, make some sales and then you can
reinvest some of that money into paid methods of getting
traffic. This speeds up the process.
Q. So what particular offline methods are
you referring to - can you give us some examples?
A. There's one tactic I used that costs
nothing to implement, is relatively quick and ended up
getting me thousands and thousands of targeted visitors
into my websites. When I've shared this tactic with other
marketers at seminars they've started laughing and slapping
their foreheads when they saw how easy it was. They were
also embarrassed that they had failed to use this tactic.
It was quite amusing.
Q. So are you going to tell us what this method is?
A. No! (laughs) It's in my course! I truly
believe in rewarding those people that are most eager to
learn so instead of giving away all my traffic tactics in
interviews like this I've put some of them in an E-Book I'
ve written. It is free though if people want to get it.
Q. So how can people get hold of it?
A. It's called "How To Avoid The Top 20
Traffic Disasters" and you can get it by going to "
Michael's Traffic Videos" - you'll see it mentioned on
that page.
Q. What's in it?
A. Well I really wanted to raise the bar
on a free E-Book so I spent a lot of time creating it. It's
40 pages long and stuffed with juicy content on what NOT to
do when it comes to traffic. As far as I'm concerned too
many people out there tell you what you should do but not
what you shouldn't do. That's where this E-Book comes in.
Q. Okay. I think we're about done is there
anything else you want to tell everyone?
A. Just that if they are serious about
getting more traffic into their website they need to go to "
Michael's Traffic Videos" and get that free E-
Book.
Q. Cool. Well thanks for your time Michael
and speak to you soon.
A. My pleasure. Speak soon.
