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 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 goto
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.
