That idea worked great in movie but it is a whole different ballpark when it comes to a web site or an email campaign.

The only way to attract traffic on Internet is to PROMOTE. And key to successful online promotion is to know HOW your traffic found you.

Why?

Because when you know HOW your traffic found you then you will know what is working for you so that you can not only maintain it, but also increase it.

With an email campaign, it is absolutely essential to code your mailings in order to discover which one is bringing you results.

The easiest way to do that is by use of Auto-Responders.

There are a host of FREE Auto-Responder services that will allow you to acquire as many FREE responders as you need.

For a "List of FREE Auto-Responder Services", send a blank email to our Auto-Responder at: mailto:freeautoresp@emailexchange.org

For example, you are promoting an ad service that pays you 50% commission. You run one ad in a newsletter, another is done via your signature in posting to a business list and still another ad is exposed via FFA Link submissions.

You can code your ads simply by calling them ad001, ad002, ad003.

When you receive a reply to ad001, you will know it came from newsletter, ad002 will be a response to your signature and ad003 will be from your FFA Link submission.

Use whatever code is appropriate for you but important thing to remember to code it and know to what it pertains.

If you have your own web site, your hosting provider might already provide you with tools you need to track your traffic.

All you would need to do is access your log info and review which web pages are getting traffic and study where traffic is coming from to visit you.

1.To act as a resource to your visitors 2.You may be given a reciprocal link, which should increase your traffic.

Right, now begin to consider a few ideas that you could put on a web page that would enhance reading experience.

LOCATION

Where are main locations of novel?

Think about this for a minute. Is it LA? Is it Paris? Is it Africa?

Now pull up your favourite search engine (I use www.google.com all time – it's my favourite). Now put into search engine location of your book. You'll be given, hopefully, thousands of websites to choose from. Look at a few of links. Do any seem appealing or eye-catching? If they do, add them to links section of your website or even profile a link on home page. You've started to broaden your books appeal already.

Example

You've written a hard-hitting police drama set in San Francisco. So, following my advice, you put words `San Francisco' into your search engine.

What do you get?

Well, in less than a second I've found 2 million links!!!

The first link I looked at was a map of city. Wouldn't that be great to add as a link? People can then follow action in your book.

Then I found official city website. That's a must have!
