One of the biggest problems that online businesses face, whether they are selling puppies or pogo sticks, is traffic. If people are not coming to your site, or can't find your site, they are not going to buy your puppies. There is several way to get traffic to your website.

Running Ads

Pay-per-click (PPC) ads:  There are two main types of PPC ads: Facebook ads, and Goofle ads.

Facebook Ads are best for building your brand. Google Ads are best for attracting people who are already looking for your product.

The nice thing about PPC ads is that they will help you get a lot of traffic quickly. The problem is that once you stop spending money on the ads, the traffic stops immedietely.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) PPC ads are a short -term strategy, while SEO is long-term.

SEO focuses on helping your website show up first when someone searches for puppies.

Both strategies are great, and they can work well together. It is a good idea to do both in the beginning, until you are getting enough organic traffic. Then you can stop PPC ads, and use them only when you need a traffic boost.
