Feeder
Pages... What They Are And WHY They're A Great Source Of
FREE Traffic
by: Cory Threlfall
Look out because here
comes another FREE traffic source for you to utilize
within your online marketing mix.
Internet marketers
myself included) have been using this method of traffic
generation for quite some time now with Great results
and I'll explain WHY in a moment.
First off though, I
think it's important that I explain what a "Feeder Page"
is for those of you who are new to the term and the
Internet marketing scene.
A "Feeder Page" is
simply a single -- Keyword Targeted -- webpage that is
designed to rank high in the Search Engines under the
particular Keyword or Keyword Phrase that webpage is
optimized for.
That's the definition in
a nutshell.
Now, depending on the
keywords or keyword phrases you use and how well they
rank within the SE's, Traffic will slowly start to
trickle in, that's why you want to have as many of these
pages out there as possible.
The more pages, the more
TRAFFIC you'll receive.
Remember, it's all about
the numbers and as a quick example lets say you have 100
keyword optimized "Feeder Pages" out on the web and the
Search Engine Spiders find them while crawling and
decided to index them all.
And... lets say that
each of those pages roughly sent you between 2 to 5 hits
a day to your website.
That's 200-500 EXTRA
hits a day to your website for FREE!
Which then works out to
about 6,000 to 15,000 EXTRA hits to your site in a
month.
Just imagine all the
sales that would be generated from that kind of traffic
flowing into your website, that is of course, if your
sales copy is converting well.
The cool thing about all
this is, they didn't cost you a SINGLE penny.
Now, that's just the
basic breakdown of a "Feeder Pages" basic function and
purpose.
There's more to building
them then what I have explained in this article.
I just wanted to give
you a quick overview into another POWERFUL method of
FREE traffic generation that many Internet marketers use
to send traffic to their websites via the Search
Engines.
The best software I've
encountered and personally use to generate several
hundred themed "Feeder Pages" at a time is called
Traffic Equalizer. You can find out more about this
software and how it works at:

Now, you'll find that if
you do a little research online about "Feeder
Pages"(A.K.A. Doorway or Gateway pages) that some
marketers say "They're No Good and They Don't Work
Anymore".
You'll also hear some
say by using "Feeder Pages", you are 'Spamming' the
Search Engines and that the SE's are cracking down on
this method of traffic generation and will de-index your
website to NO existence.
YES. Some of this is
true, indeed.
And... it has happened
to me several times.
BUT... they keep coming
back and re-indexing them all.
Those Bloody Spiders!!
The 'Key' to getting
around this is simply to build your "Feeder Pages" with
targeted content like articles or reviews, etc.) related
to your Product or Service and present them with the
same Look and Navigation as the rest of your
website.(ex. graphics, template, links, copyright,etc.)
Well... there you have
it; "Feeder Pages(A.K.A. Doorway or Gateway pages)...
What They Are And HOW They're A Great Source Of FREE
Traffic".
I truly hope you
understand what I just revealed and More Importantly,
how You too can use this within your online marketing
mix to BOOST your Traffic and Sales.
