Travelling to Hayling Island
Although very rural, Hayling Island is far from being in “The Sticks”. With the A27 running just North of the Island and nearby Havant Station sitting on one of the main routes to London, travelling to Hayling is simple.
For those looking to travel either to or from places further afield, Hayling is also within easy travelling distance of International airports and the European ferry port of Portsmouth.
Whatever direction you are coming from, you want to head for the A27/M27 South Coast road.
For visitors coming from the North or London this is most easily done by following either the A3 or the M3 south until it joins with the South coast route.
- Leave the A27 at the Havant / Hayling Island exit.
- Head South on to the A3023 which takes you on to Hayling Island. Road access to Hayling Island is through a single road bridge that makes up a stretch of the A3023.
- As the only access road this predictably can get busy during peak times, especially during the summer, so be sure to leave adequate time when travelling in either direction.
All roads on Hayling Island operate either a 30mph or 40mph speed limit.

How To Get At Least 50 Visitors A Day Free!
Every eBusiness owner is constantly looking at ways to get free traffic to their site. After all, if you have no visitors you will never have any sales. So getting visitors to your website is the first major step to get underway in your marketing campaign.
Pay-per-click search engines are one of the most highly recommended ways to get immediate traffic to your site. However, there are times when eBusiness owners - particularly newbies - don’t have the cash needed to continuously run pay-per-click traffic campaigns.
I have discovered a little known traffic generating technique that could seriously result in more profits in your pocket with extremely little effort on your part. In fact, you’re not going to believe how easy this really is.
If you’re serious about your Internet business then you must be using a truckload of products and services on a regular basis. The $60,000.00 question is - Do you spend time giving testimonials for the many products and services you use in your day to day life? If not, then you could be missing out on an incredible stream of no cost traffic to your site on a regular basis.
Writing testimonials is a relatively easy task. Just write one as if you were simply sending a short note of appreciation to someone you know.
EXAMPLE:
“I’ve been a member of Profits Vault Monthly for the past year and I have increased my profits streams by 300% in the seven months I’ve been promoting these products. Not only that, but I continue to enjoy $200.00 profit a month on my products already in circulation. I would highly recommend Profits Vault Monthly to anyone.” Karin Manning http://www.reprintrights4u.com/profitsvaultmonthly.com.
TIP: You don’t have to link people to your main website. You can link to anything you like - an affiliate program, a free report, a fr** download, just about anything you like…this is your chance to have your say.
Don’t be embarrassed to say that you’re not earning $100,000.00 a year with one product. There are thousands of people online who are happy to earn a few hundred dollars a month to help cover their car payments and house payments so don’t think your testimonial won’t be featured if it doesn’t include six figure digits. In this instance I believe credibility is far more important than inflated dollar figures.

If you find a particular product or service helpful, then give a testimonial about it to the website you purchased it from. Include your full name and url and you’re in business. Now of course this is no guarantee that your testimonial will be spotlighted on the website, however, the more credible and specific your testimonial is the higher your chances.
Now one website alone could be providing you with 5 unique visitors to your site every single day. Now that isn’t a big number by itself, however, in a month that adds up to 150 unique visitors to your site. And that’s just for one website.
If you offered 10 quality (and genuine) testimonials to 10 different websites they could send 50 unique visitors your way on a daily business.
1500 Free Unique & Targeted Visitors Every Month!
ADDED BONUS: Not only do you receive free traffic through this marketing strategy but this also helps your link popularity with search engines. Link popularity is proving to be the next best thing when it comes to ranking high on search engines so this is money in your pocket for virtually nil effort on your part.
Take a minute to make a list of all the membership programs you belong to, the affiliate programs you’re a member of, the products and services that you promote on a regular basis and I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with at least 10 testimonial targets easy.
3 Quick Ways To Effective Testimonial Marketing
- Give Powerful Testimonials.
The more credible your testimonial the better chance you have of having your testimonial published on a site and featured in a better position. Be specific in your testimonials, just like you are in sales pages and your ads. For example, “I earnt $187.00 in my first 10 days of using this product” etc is much more effective than “I made some sales in the first month”. The more specific you are, the higher your visibility will be.
- Be Choosy With Offering Testimonials.
You’re probably thinking I’ve had a bit to drink since I started writing this article and coming up with this point because haven’t I just defeated the whole purpose to my article? I don’t think so. If you offer testimonials to every person with a website you’ll lose all credibility. Make your opinion matter by only putting your name to products and services that really deserve it. A bit like athletic sponsorship deals. You are going to be endorsing a certain product people will associate you with…so make sure it’s worthy of your acclaim. If in doubt, don’t put it out.
- Make Your Testimonials Sell.
Make sure you take the time to promote yourself by signing your full name and website address on the bottom of all your testimonials. Even better do what one noted internet marketer did and give yourself a label. The Fr** Ad Guru may be taken but can you think of a nifty name to brand your own identity? If so, throw it in and your testimonial may just get featured just because they like your name - for example, Cheapskate Suzy, Future Internet Millionaire etc.

Understanding your Website’s traffic logs is a crucial component
of your online marketing mix. It tells you what your visitors
do, of their own volition, so it’s “market research that cannot
lie!” If you understand what you’re seeing, you can make some
great strategic and marketing decisions, not only for your
Website, but for your business as a whole. Here are seven key
marketing elements to study in your traffic analysis: 1. General
Statistics Remember that a “hit” is recorded every time the
visitor gets an image or some text from your site — what you
need to know is unique user sessions, and how much time people
spend on the site — how “sticky” and engaging it is. If you
have tons of traffic, but the average time spent on your site is
less than a minute — you’ve got a problem! 2. Most and Least
Requested Pages So what’s really hot, and what’s not on your
site? The most popular pages give you great clues as to what to
offer more of. The least viewed pages may tell you that some of
your content isn’t as fascinating as you think, or this maybe a
heads-up that your navigation isn’t driving traffic as
effectively as it should. 3. Top Entry and Exit Pages These are
great reminders that not all your visitors come through your
home page, so you need complete navigation on every entry point
to your site. And if people are leaving from pages that you
don’t want them to, perhaps you need stronger calls to action in
those areas. 4. Single Access Pages These are the pages where a
visitor looks at the site then leaves immediately. Since the job
of your home page is partly to filter the traffic that’s not
right for you, there’ll always be some of these. But if you have
a splash page, and significant numbers of visitors don’t stay
through it… perhaps it shouldn’t be there? 5. Cities, States
and Countries No, your site isn’t a huge hit just in Virginia –
those are all the AOL users! Unfortunately, because this
information depends on where the ISP is based, it can be pretty
misleading. But if you are getting a lot of hits from other
countries, that might be a hint for some second language
content. 6. Referring URL’s
This tells you which search engines are sending you traffic, and
which of your advertising and linking strategies are working. It
also tells you about sites that may have links to you that you
didn’t know about — check these out — it’s a great
relationship builder to send a thank you — you might even get
some new business from it!
7. Top Search Keywords and Phrases
Once the search engines have listed your site, these tell you
what the really hot search terms are for your business. Pay
attention to these — they may have some surprises — one of my
clients recently wrote a book on a subject that was really
sought after on her site — until she saw the top keywords, she
had no idea it was so popular! I hope this helps in your future
marketing decisions.
