Every Internet Marketer knows that unless you have people visiting your internet business, (traffic), the fact that you have an amazing, in-demand product/business or service and a tried and tested sales-letter with a stratospherically high conversion rate, it will mean nothing because with no one looking at you, you have no one to sell to and therefore will sell precisely nothing!

The good news is that even as a total “newbie” to internet marketing, without a large mailing list to market to and with your website languishing on the 200th page of Google, there are well tested and proven methods of internet marketing that can dramatically increase the level of traffic to your internet business.

Before we go any further however, it is important that you understand that SEO (search engine optimization) is not the be-all-and-end-all in terms getting huge amounts of traffic to your internet business! Search engine result pages are themselves only web pages, just like other websites on the internet.

Friedman talks about how the Internet encourages glocalisation, such as encouraging people to make websites presented on the Global Internet in their native and hence local languages. In the Uk evidence can be seen of glocalisation where the big four supermarkets (the global marketers) have destroyed the small business by taking away the local market. The average High Street or shopping mall no longer has an independent baker, butcher, fishmonger, florist or grocer. All High Streets now appear to be clones with only global chains in place particularly in the retail food industry.  Read more
