The Don'ts of Gathering Traffic

A dear friend who was also a participant in one of the seminar I attended asked me yesterday regarding how to attract traffic to her shopping site. To her, whatever you do Kak Nur, just don't do these...
1. Buying e-mail list - no matter how cheap it seems $29.90 for 100,000 emails or whatever, don't buy it. Because...

• You'll be a spammer - strictly unacceptable in some countries
• The e-mails could be obsolete or several emails own by the same people

2. Advertise at free advertisement site, unless it is really an established one.
3. Buy traffic - because usually it is not a targetted traffic (i.e. targetted to those who are really searching for products such as what you're selling)

So, I hope some of these will help.
