How to get traffic/buyers to my website?

[AutoFace 2.4]

i want to start my own online business website, however from reading forums and other sources online, it seems the common problem with people trying to start an online business is getting people to actually find their website and click on it, with the massive database of websites within googles search engine, i could understand how ones website can become lost in the infinite world of cyberspace. So just how does one become get their website noticed? get clicks? get buyers? im a complete beginner on this subject of e-commerce however im quite good at finding what products are in demand, which is why i want to create an online website in the first place where i can reach more people. Does anyone have experience in this field? what are the necessary steps of creating and promoting a website? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

From seo's point of view, you need to build backlinks in forum signature, blogroll, press release and get it social. If you have enough money, think about PPC - faster traffic, more clicks and money!

Using a marketplace like Amazon or Ebay can help bring you ready made traffic that may be worth the fees.

Otherwise you can take months to develop search engine ranking in order to get limited "free" traffic, or use paid advertising to bring in visitors overnight, paid traffic makes for a more scalable business, but you have to carefully optimize the ads and site conversion in order to make it profitable.

Hang on little bit on the traffic. If you want to learn stay away from online sources as much you can. Don't get me wrong on this. As a beginner you need one source on one topic. Easily you will get overwhelmed.

I believe your goal is to stay sharp and focused on one thing at the time.

Stay away from shiny objects, pick up one book and start from there.

Best place for you: your local library and Barnes n nobles.

85% stuff are available for you and best of all are free.

Good Luck!
