Everyone that has been online for a while trying to make money with an online business knows by now that traffic is very important for the survival of any online business and website. However, this subject is extensively talked about traffic is really not what is important, but highly targeted traffic.

Let me give an example. You could have a page on the website that is talked about in every media, but that page it not specific to the items you sell on the website maybe not even closely aligned to your industry. What will happen is that you will have thousands or even hundred of thousands of people visiting your website but no sales conversion. This is why it is important to focus on targeted traffic.

Traffic that provides you visitors that are not interested in your products or services or even industry is just a waste of bandwidth which you pay for to your website hosting service provider.

The same reason lies behind the myth that it is good to be on the first page of Digg. That is another story all together, which will go into in future articles under the social media section.

As with every online business and even offline business, press releases are a tool that should be part of the marketing efforts and used as often as necessary to get targeted traffic to your website.

With press releases you will get traffic to your website. The more targeted the press release to what your product and services, the more you will get targeted traffic. It is that simple.

However, to achieve this traffic to your online business and website with press releases there is one way and a very simple way: Make Yourself Newsworthy.

That is really all there is to it.

Though it is really simple in theory, this can get pretty mind boggling in practice.

Many ask what is newsworthy? This is an excellent question and the right place to get started.

To get started with this and get your mind around the concept you would want to start reading the headlines in your industry.

If you are a website owner you should know that visitor “traffic” to your website is generated in many ways, but two of those ways are more popular than the others:

• Add fresh and original content on a regular basis, which makes people come back to your site to read more, know more or buy more.
