There are many different ways for increasing the amount of traffic to your website, but every single one of them fail because they only get your sales message in front of them once. You spend all that time and effort getting them to your sales page, they have a quick look round and they are gone... Perhaps you caught them at a bad time, they might have been in a rush, or they might not have had any spare cash, or they were simply in a bad mood. It doesn't matter because they never bought your niche product or service, you missed the sale.

What if there is a way to get your sales message in front of your website visitors not once, but many times, a system which will regularly call attention your product. Fortunately for you there is such a system and it's easy to install and operate.

The internet marketing fraternity has comeup with a utility called an autoresponder. Not the system you can setup with your email account that tells anybody who sends you a message that you've gone on holiday or whatever. This is a system which can send unlimited individual and unique messages to your website visitors at any interval you desire.

When your prospective customers visit your website, you present them with an irresistible free offer in exchange for their name and email address. This could be a free information series based on your product, or it could be another valuable product on a similar theme to yours.

Once they have signed up for free gift, you send them a series of messages spaced a few days apart and offer them useful free information with links back to your sales page. If they find your messages interesting and useful there's a very good chance they will decide to buy your product to get more information.

Do not think it all stops there... They are still subscribers to your list; they still expect to receive interesting and useful information from you, so give it to them. Continue sending emails to your list of subscribers at regular intervals.

The key is not to inundate them with advertisements send them useful and relevant information in every email and place a link to other products of yours or join a few affiliate programs and offer those products.

To get your hand on an autoresponder, you have three basic options:

1) Join a free autoresponder. A search on any search engine will get you a list of many free autoresponders, but there is a price to pay... Many free autoresponders will display their own advertising messages at the top of each email sent out by them. This message detracts from your message and considerably reduces your emails effectiveness.

2) Join a paid autoresponder. Again a search on any search engine will get you a list of autoreponders to join, but there is one factor which can greatly affect the delivery rate of emails sent out... Many paid autoresponders are used by spammers and most email service providers will block emails sent from these autoresponders. Unfortunately this is not widely known and obviously the people supplying the autoresponders don't make this information public.

Before you join any paid autoresponder service find out how they guarantee email deliverability. If they don't do anything, or won’t answer you don't use their service.

3) Purchase and install your own autoresponder script. This is the option many internet marketers opt for as it gives them complete control over their email marketing efforts, but they also have to deal with spam complaints themselves. If you join a reputable paid service, the autoresponder provider will ensure all your lists are double opt-in which means every subscriber has to confirm their subscription, any spam complaints from subscribers to your autoresponders are handled by them.

When it comes to incorporating any of these autoresponder options, the service or script providers offer extensive documentation explaining how to get your autoresponder set up and working properly.
