Michael Cheney Talks Traffic - Interview With A Traffic Expert
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 cash flow?
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.

Is Affiliate Marketing For Me
My biggest problem with affiliate marketing is that there are so many different products, services, systems, and programs..it is hard to focus on just one or two. You end up all over the place. The secret to success for beginners is to focus on one or two things. I made that mistake and started all over, much better when you focus first. So, as I continue...so will this blog.

Can You Make Money Online?
The main focus of Online Work Reviews will be reporting and sharing my views on income producing opportunities via the Internet. Some I have found and others found me. The choices are endless, sometimes confusing, and just far too complicated for beginners. Others aren't.
Along the way, I finally found the secret for success; FOCUS... find one or two great things that you can be passionate about and follow through. It all started here with blogging and I have a long way to go...In the meantime, if you ever have any comments or would like to tell me what you'd like to see here, just let me know.
Until next post,

Laser Eye Surgery Worked For Me
- Research the procedures - know what is being done.
- Verify you are a candidate with an ophthalmologist - a good one will tell if you are not.
- Know the side effects - most everyone is different.
- Evaluate the risk versus reward - are you willing to forfeit nearsightedness to see far?
- Confidence with office staff and ophthalmologist - do they make you feel comfortable?
- Know what to do if you have complications - minor and major.
There are plenty or resources available about the procedures both on and offline for consumers. As in any medical procedure, the patient needs to be as responsible as the health care provider. If side effects of the lasik operation has complications, the patient needs to seek his doctors help immediately to correct those problems. Thorough follow-up examinations should identify problems and correction, if possible, be made. For a look at the procedure itself, check out this site I found.
Overall, it was the best thing I could have done for me. As with Tiger Woods, I wish I had done it sooner.
