2 Underutilized Methods Of Getting Website Traffic

Do you know the internet marketing "formula" to success? No it's not "the money is in the list". It has nothing to do with email marketing and list building. There's a "website traffic" formula that many people feel is the ultimate key to succeeding online. Would like to know what this formula is? I'm sure you do. Here it is:

Traffic + Conversions = Sales

Sounds simple huh? Well, it is. The more traffic you get to your website, the sales you will more than likely get. And that's TARGETED traffic that I am speaking of. You can't just go and get traffic from any place. There are people only trying to sell you "website blasting" services that will only make you waste your money.

If you're someone who's just starting out, or you've been in the online business world but aren't making a lot of sales right now, I'm sure you could benefit from more traffic right now. And in today's lesson, I want to share with you some tips on how you can get more traffic to your website simply and easily. 

In fact, here's traffic tip number 1:

1) Free ebook marketing
You could write up a quick ebook, promote it on your squeeze page, site, or blog, and a lot people to download it. If it's good, people will want to share it on their website, and will want to pass it along to others. You will want to state on the first page of your ebook that people have the authority to pass along this ebook to others.
You will want to embed your links within your ebook - preferably in the header of every page. This is easy to do if you're creating your ebook in Microsoft Word. You could actually start a viral marketing campaign that people will want to pass around to most of their colleagues. Here's another traffic tip that you can use:

2) Starting your own affiliate program
This can be a major profit source for you. Imagine having thousands of people promoting your product for you without any intervention at all. Well, this is a reality for a lot of people online. Starting your own affiliate program is something that can explode your traffic, all while making sales on autopilot.
It's great for you because you get a new customer from every sale, and it's good for your affiliates because they earn money, and don't have to create a website, sales letter, or product from scratch. You should really look into it. 3 great affiliate program services are Clickbank, Paydotcom, and Commission Junction.

These 2 tips for getting more traffic to your website is something that you should put into motion because they can wind up being major traffic sources for your business. Putting the ebook is easy (20 to 30 pages long), and to start your affiliate program, all you have to do is sign up for the affiliate sites, give your affiliates some marketing tools, and you're good to go.

Good luck with getting more traffic to your website.

The Best Commenting System For Blogger Blogs

The default commenting system of Blogger Blogs is not a user friendly commenting system and normal people will hesitate to comment on your post if you are using default blogger commenting system.So what is the better alternative to default Blogger Commenting System?

Third Party Commenting System

If you want to get more comments on your blog post then you can opt for third party commenting system.There are many third party commenting system available for blogger blogs, one of them are Disqus which i'll introduce to you.

Why You should use Third Party Commenting System?

Every blogger who is blogging on blogspot platform should shift to Third Party commenting system as soon as possible or else you are going to loose valuable comments and traffic.

More Comments More Traffic-This is the new SEO Strategy: Yes you you heard right.The more comments you get the more boost you get in search engine ranking.It looks like after Penguin and Panda Updates google is giving more priority to words.The articles with more words are ranking higher on google than articles with fewer words.

So Should You Write Articles With More Words?-Answer is No.Articles with more words annoys readers and your readers will loose interest in reading the whole article.So the wise idea is to write a article with decent number of words i.e 500-700 words and get more comments on your article.Comments will also be considered as words for your articles,so the more comments you get greater will be your rank in search engines.

Best Third Party Commenting System for your Blog

>> Click here to visit Disqus site <<

Disqus is the Best Third Party Commenting System as of now for blogger blogs.You can remove it whenever you want to and you will not loose any of your previous existing comments as Disqus syncs its comments with the default commenting system of blogger which is one of the great feature of Disqus.Disqus not only syncs the comments but also imports all the existing comments on your blog to Disqus comments,so that you wont loose any of your existing comments.Currently this blog is also running disqus commenting system.

Cons Of Disqus: The only disadvantage is that it takes more time to load and thereby increases the loading time of your blog.However as visitors read the content first and then scroll down to read or leave a comment,in this period of time the comments get fully loaded.After Disqus 2012 has introduced the loading time has reduced to a great extent.

Should you use Third Party commenting system or not?

Previously Disqus comments didn't get indexed in Google,which was one of the big drawback of Blogger Search Engine Optimization.But after Blogger SEO has introduced all the Third Party comments especially Disqus comments are perfectly indexed in Google.I strongly recommend you to move to Disqus Commenting system to boost the number of comments thereby boosting search engine ranking as well.

The best places for placing Facebook like box is on the top of sidebar and just after blog post footer. Some people also put them around header of navigation bars.

Task #4 Below Post Setup

Setting out widgets below your blog posts (just like after this one) are extremely important as they play a part of call to action. Call to action are extremely important in increasing your blogs user activity. The widgets after the post would show up your overall blogging aim.

For Affiliate Marketers

Some people give more importance to Affiliate marketing, and thus for that purpose, they need to increase their email subscribers. As they say: Money is in the list

For Social Media Engagement

So you would notice, email subscription options just after their blog posts. On the other hand, people like to increase their social media engagement and thus they use Facebook like widgets or Twitter follow buttons.

For Guest Blogging Awareness

Many blogs like to add 'About the author' widget below their blog posts. The widget would give a brief bio of the writer, plus it would lead the reader to the 'Guest Blogging' page, that would further attract the reader to serve his skills as a guest author.

Just make sure that your blog post footer shows up your mind and your blogging strategy. As the read pauses after reading the entire post, you need to make sure that you direct him to the path 'you want'.

Commenting system plays a great role in your blog overall comments activity. If you are working out with WordPress, then you DON'T need to worry about this one as most of the WordPress templates have pretty great commenting system.

Many people don't consider using popup style Facebook pop form. Normally pop up forms and flashing ads give out a negative impression of a blog to the reader. But if you're working hard with your blog design and content, than i must say it can play a great role in your social media campaign.

Pop light box style Facebook like boxes increase the fan base with a great rate comparing to the widget being placed in the sidebar or blog post footer.

Task #8 Make an eBook Instantly

Get Free Traffic To Your New Website

How do you get free traffic to your website? That is always the biggest hurdle for the internet marketer. It's always interesting to listen to the newbie that just buys some sort of internet business opportunity. They spend hours, sometimes days making their blog or website page look like a million bucks. Then afterwards, they watch as no one visits their new website. People just starting in this business sometimes forget that no matter how great your website looks, no matter how good your product offering is, without traffic, you won't make any money.

You can do a Google search for "get free traffic," and you will get pages and pages of hits. You can spend days sorting through all of these pages, and ultimately, you will discover you're still as confused as ever about finding a solution to this problem. Likewise, if you've just started an online business, the last thing you want to do is spend extra money on a "traffic program" that you don't know anything about. So, how do you sort through all of these so called "get free traffic" paid programs?

Get Free Traffic - Which Paid Programs Should I Purchase?

The answer to that question is really simple: Don't buy any of them!!! They're all junk. How's that for an honest answer. You need a strategy for getting traffic to your website. You need an army of people (mentors) that can help you. You need a system that supports your efforts. And most importantly, you need to understand that traffic will only come to your site when you put in the time and effort.

The main reason someone gets involved with an online business opportunity is to make extra income for themselves and their family. Many online business owners just don't have the extra money to spend on paid advertising. They just don't think about the costs when they first start. I'm talking about things like: Google pay per click, Facebook ads, solo ads, etc.. After people realize they have to spend money to make money, a lot of people get frustrated and just simply give up.

This is why you need to develop a strategy to get free traffic. A great plan of action is to work a free strategy, then when you generate some income, re-invest that income back in your business. This enables the business owner to start right now, as well as help plan for the future. They become productive. The owner is doing activities every single day that move their business forward.

Get Free Traffic - Strategies

Here are a list of some free strategies that you should look at to start:

1. Social Media - This would include sites like Facebook, my space, twitter, etc... you can develop a great strategy to market your product on these type of sites.

2. Article Marketing - Writing articles and submitting these articles to the top internet directories is an outstanding way to gain exposure. This will help drive traffic to your site on a long term basis.

3. Free Classified Sites - You can develop a plan of action for promoting your business on sites such as Craigslist and Backpage (just to name a few of these sites). This strategy requires a daily action plan. However, if you understand the concept, you can generate quite a few leads from posting ads about your business opportunity.

4. YouTube - How many people have not heard of YouTube? Not many. Uploading videos to YouTube is a great way to let people know you are in business.

5. Forum Comments - Visit other forum pages and comment on the discussion. Make sure you leave your info after the comment. This is a way to get your name to people that have similar interests.

6. Pay per click advertisement - This is a good way to ensure that you only get the right kind of traffic to your website. By using pay per click an internet marketer does not have to always pay for the advertisements since you only pay for the number of visits or clicks made on your link. It is a fast way to market a product since the moment you list it you will start getting visitors. Any time a visitor clicks on your link you will only pay according to the terms and conditions you have set up with the service provider.

7. Blog commenting is another way to generate traffic to your website. At the same time you could also brand and market yourself as an subject matter expert. This is done by making a comment on other people's blog and at the end of the comment leaving a link leading back to your website. As all search engines love good blogs, once the owner of the blog gives a go ahead, your link will be indexed. With this done, you will have a new backlink and whenever it is clicked, it will direct the traffic to your site.

Get FreeTraffic - Conclusion

You can absolutely start an online business without breaking the bank account. However, in my opinion, you have to do it with a realistic action plan. Your plan should include taking massive action over the first 90 days. I would also recommend finding a mentor, someone that can help you develop your plan. You don't need to re-invent the wheel. You don't need to spend hours and hours of your time trying to sort through all of the traffic junk that is on the internet. Don't buy any "get free traffic" programs. Just get motivated, get ready to put in the time and effort... and just get to work!!!

5 Steps to Write Effective Articles in Less Time

Do you sit in front of computer for a long time to create a single blog post or article? Does it take too much thinking for you to come up with an effective article? If your answer was ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you should continue to read the post. Whether you are a blogger or a freelance writer or an article marketer, you need to write effective articles quickly. If you are doing one of those as a full time job, you must really use your time properly and try to write more articles in less time. Here are few things you should do when you sit to write an article or blog post.

1. Close Every Other Application

Ever installed any software? Few of them ask you to close other applications when installing it. The same should be followed when you sit to write an article. Close the chat client first. This is probably the one which eats up most of your time. Next, close your email client. Don’t have any other application open, other than your writing software. You should not open any of the applications when you are writing the article. You can open your browser when you want to look for some reference, but close it again as soon as you are done. Don’t check your blog traffic stats, AdSense earnings or anything else as well.

2. Do Research Before Writing

It is always better to do a little research before writing the article. This will help you to write an effective article. The quality of the article will show clearly that you have researched. Almost every blog post that hits the front page of social bookmarking sites is well researched and structured. By doing research, you also make your article longer and in depth.

3. Prepare a Schedule

Preparing a schedule will help you in saving time. Set a time for each and everything you do for the article. You can allocate 30 minutes or whatever you are comfortable with, for writing the article itself. Set 5 minutes for selecting an image. Also have 10-15 minutes for collecting references and coming up with a catchy headline. Within an hour, you should be able to create some top notch content.

4. Proof Read At Least Once

This is very important and most people skip this due to lack of time (or patience). This will prove to be costly when you are writing for some other person or for a client. Once you finish writing the post, read it once. If you have written many articles and don’t have time to proof read all of them, hire a person to do the work for you.

5. Do the Editing Till You Are Satisfied

Once you have completed writing the article, do the formatting works. Place the image at the right place. Give credit to the image author if needed. Preview the article. If it is what you wanted, publish the article. If not, continue with your editing and formatting. Add quotes to the post to make it more effective. Tie any loose ends.

Writing quality articles in short time is not an easy task, but if you prepare yourself and use a structured process soon you will be cranking paragraphs like there is no tomorrow!
