Guaranteed Traffic – Keyword Carpet Bombing!

Posted by on Dec 18, 2009 in Link Building, Web Site Promotion, Webmaster Business Plan | 6 comments


guaranteed-free-traffic-keyword-carpet-bombingDo you wish there was a way to get guaranteed traffic to your blog?  Are you picking out winning keywords and still not able to get traffic to your site?  Do you check all the right places to find competition on your keyword phrases, but still cannot get ranked for them?

Well trust me, you are not alone.  This is one of the most frustrating problems for webmasters and Internet marketers alike.  If you are putting in the work and simply not getting the results, trust me I know exactly how you feel and I have definitely been through this.  However, I do have some helpful hints to get your past this “bump in the road” and back on track with your internet marketing efforts.

I was recently asked a question on a forum that I frequent “I have done my keyword research and have submitted my info to squidoo and ezinearticles, but I am not getting ranked, I feel like I am missing something?”

Well, the conversation on the forum was about different methods of keyword research that different people use.  There are many different methods that people use and some are obviously more effective than others. The problem it turned out was not finding the right keyword to use, but how to market the site and get link exposure with the keyword term that this member was trying to focus on.

If you do not understand what keyword research is, join our mailing list here and you will get a link to some videos that will help out with this.  For those of you who are already doing some keyword research and then trying to focus your link building efforts to get ranked for those keywords, I will give you the same reply I posted in the forum.  If you do not know what keyword research is and do not fully understand link building and anchor text yet, please do not proceed with the steps below!
The methodology I will explain is very quick and dirty seo, but when it comes down to it I have used these exact steps to successfully launch many a profitable site and I know these will work for you too.  All you have to do is apply the steps and keep mixing up your keyword phrase in relevant long tail keyword phrases and You Will Get Results!

Write one new article, get your keyword or a variation of it in the title, body, keyword tags and make a link with the same or variant of your keywords in the post, to the post. Do Not make the keyword spammed throughout, make it natural and make this one of the best posts you ever wrote, this is the gold nugget that you are going to trade for traffic!

Publish this, take your rss feed over to http://feedburner.com, burn it, then get over to http://pingoat.com

Now that you are at http://pingoat.com submit both your website feed and the feedburner feed, with a slight variation in the title, but still Keep Your Keywords In There Too.

Next it is time to do some social bookmarking, get over to:

http://digg.com
http://stumbleupon.com
http://reddit.com
http://mixx.com

and bookmark you new post, do this at different times of the day, not all at once.

Now, write you up a small 300-500 word article and post it on all article directories( http://ezinearticles.com http://goarticles.com http://articledashboard.com ), authority sites( http://squidoo.com http://hubpages.com http://facebook.com http://knol.google.com )and as many blogs that you can(heres the blog submitter I use, it’s free)then time to get your article on some authority blogs, say hello to http://blogger.com http://blog.com http://fortuneboard.com and http://posterous.com

Everywhere you submit you article you need to make sure that you can get at least one link with a variation of your keyword in the article or do not waste your time there.

You may also want to spend some time on popular social sites telling people about the new post, Google loves to see some traffic to a page that it is going to rank. I suggest you use http://ping.fm to multiply your efforts here.

I know this sounds like you are going to be carpet bombing the web with info and Yes that is the idea. If you want to be noticed by Google, give them something to look at!

This can be done all in one day, but I suggest you spread it out over a few days or even a weeks time, because after all you don’t want to scare Google with to many new links all at once.  Now once you have completed these simple steps, just wash, rinse and repeat; you will be guaranteed results.

That is if you have chosen a worthy keyword!

more-blog-trafficWell I can tell you if you do the things I spoke of above, you will get traffic! There is no question about it, you will be able to see some immediate traffic from direct click through visitors. However, more importantly, if you use good anchor text and keep mixing up the long tail terms, you will be able to sustain some rather healthy traffic from the search engines as well.

You can look at any of the big name products, video series or guru reports; they all will focus in on one of the sections of info above and build a whole product around it, but you know what, you don’t need to spend $300 dollars to take some logical steps toward your success online. When it comes down to it, there are only 2 things that online marketing comes down to, Distribution and Target Market. Everything else is simply smoke and mirrors.

Now, I will say that much like exercising, some people really do need to make a huge investment in a product to remind them that they need to exercise, however I hope you can find you motivation elsewhere :-)

I hope that this quick little synapses helps some internet marketer or webmaster take there website traffic and online business to the next level.  As always feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this or any article of mine and I would be glad to assist in any way that I can.

To Success,

Social Bookmarking Made Easy

Posted by on Dec 6, 2009 in Social Marketing, Web Site Promotion, Webmaster Business Plan | 4 comments


social-bookmarking-made-easyIf you are new to internet marketing and do not know what social bookmarking is no problem, we will cover that here to. If you are already using social bookmarking sites to get more traffic and higher exposure to your websites, then you are going to love what we have to share with you here today. I know that many people spend a lot of time doing the social bookmarking dance. Going to digg, stumble, reddit and then mixx and so on. Well, this can be effective as far as boosting a websites rankings in SERP and getting some much needed traffic, but is not so time effective.

Let us show you a better way to do this without chasing your tail all day long. However first, we want to make sure we are all on the same page, so let’s get started.

What Is Social Bookmarking?

Social bookmarking is nothing more than putting a link to your favorite websites on a site that is built to share your favorites. Much like you can add a bookmark or favorite to your web browser, you can add a similar listing on these “social bookmarking” sites. This is a great way to share your favorite websites and web destinations with your friends and family and is also a very “White Hat” way for webmasters and internet marketers to get a little google juice and some direct traffic to their websites.

What Makes Social Bookmarking So Powerful?

There are a couple reasons that using social bookmarking as an method of online marketing works.  The first is the fact that your link will be put in front of hundreds of thousands of people on each site you submit it to.  Just the other day I got 800 unique visits from a single submission to stumbleupon.com  I don’t claim to get these results every time I submit a link, but I can guarantee that you will never get free results like this without using them.

Another big reason that internet marketers and webmasters cannot live without using these services is that the top search engines look to these social bookmarking sites as Authority Sites and they check them for what’s new and what’s popular.  In most cases this translates into a boost in your web site’s ranking on the search engines.

So yes, you NEED to be using these sites if you are serious about online business, internet marketing and getting mad crazy traffic to your sites.

How Do I Add My Site To Social Bookmarking Sites?

This really varies from site to site. Most all of the popular social bookmarking sites will require you to create an account to post your website bookmarks, but none of these sites charge for membership so don’t worry, this is free.  Once you have created an account and logged in, most sites have a similar setup to add a link, you choose a title, description and category for your web link.  In some cases you can also choose a set of keywords and an image to associate with your bookmark as well.

Most of the more popular social bookmarking sites will allow you to get a plugin for either Firefox for Internet Explorer to make it quicker and easier to add your bookmarks to their site.  These can be nice, but at the same time if you want to get your bookmark spread to many sites, it is not an effective way to do this by any means. If you add one or 2 of these bookmarking toolbars to your browser, that is more than most people want or would really use in the first place.  Don’t worry, there is a better way and we are getting ready to get to that.

Effective Tools For Social Bookmarking

There are a couple of tools out there that can make your social bookmarking efforts more effective and much easier to keep up with.  Some are free to use and some of the best ones are not, we will discuss both and let make an educated decision as to which one is right for you and your online business.  Most people can see the benefit right away from the free tools and personally I decided to start using the payed tools pretty quick because I saw so much value and control that was not offered by the free ones.

Free Social Bookmarking Tools:

  1. Social Marker – This website offers a cool and free tool to allow you to send your bookmarks out to many sites all at once.  This site can make a days worth of worth of work achievable in a few minutes!
  2. OnlyWire – This is another secret guru type tool most folks don’t tell you about until you have already bought a paid product from them.  Now this is by far the best free one, but it has a huge downfall.  The fact that they force you to put a link back to there site on the site you wan to bookmark really takes away from their appeal, to me at least.
  3. Social Marking – another site that attempts to make social bookmarking easier, I am not convinced.  It has a very archaic setup and really does not seem to automate much, besides there sales funnel.  Maybe a good resource for some but after using there free system, I think there plan is to get you to buy there service, so probably not the best out there, but it is free?

Top Paid Social Bookmarking Tools

  1. Bookmarking Demon – No, this is not a free tool, but it really is worth its weight in gold.  Am I an affiliate, Yes! And the only reason I am is because this tool is so powerful that I cannot stress how much value it brings to the plate of any internet marketer or webmaster.  If you are looking for a product that will automate, schedule and blast you social bookmarks to all the right places in just a few clicks you will blow you money on this one and come back and thank me for suggesting it. It Really Is This Good Folks!

I hope the information I have shared with you today proves to be a driving force in your online marketing efforts and gives you results like you have never seen before.  I understand that there is a learning curve to everything and I will add some follow up posts to explain the ins and outs of social bookmarking to make sure you get the most out of  your efforts.  As always if you any questions about what I have outlined above feel free to contact me at any time and I would love to help answer any questions you may have.

Traffic Tornado – Massive Amounts of Free Web Site Traffic

Posted by on Nov 11, 2009 in Free Web Site Content, Getting Started, Monetize Your Site ($$$), Web Site Promotion, Webmaster Business Plan, Webmaster Resources | 6 comments


Tired of Having Tumble Weed Roll By Your Website?

Well this ain’t no western!

I am here to share a couple of excellent ways to totally blow your hosting account out of the water with a traffic tornado folks!

There are almost unlimited ways to generate mad traffic to your website and I know that some seem a lot more complicated than others especially if you are new to internet marketing are a sprouting webmaster.  Some of the best traffic generating methods in the world are absolutely free to do and just require a little elbow grease if you know what I mean.

If you want people lining up bumper to bumper to get in to your web site it’s going to take some work. I will not lie to you like some other guys and tell you, hey this is going to be easy and you can do it over night, because frankly that is not true.  If you want the Traffic Tornado to hit your site, you are going to have to work like a meteorologist, or maybe more like a steel worker, because I am not sure the weather man actually works?

What I will show you is…

Ways To Create New Visitors

Ways To Generate Visitors Within Your Market or Niche

Ways To Get Lasting Traffic and Search Engine Results

Real World Methods That Do Not Take A Rocket Scientist To Understand

What I will not show you is…

Lame Social Bookmarking Tricks That Boost Your Rankings Overnight and Then Disappear The Next Day

Black Hat Methods That Will Get Your Site Removed From Search Engine Results

Methods That Do Not Produce Real Visitors

Information Products To Make Me Money and Empty Your Wallet

Content Is King!

Yes, I Know You Have Heard It Before But…

It really is true, content rules the internet and it rules search engines, thus it must rule web site traffic. I know that sounds like a silly logic puzzle, but when it comes down to it, no matter what you are doing on the internet to drive traffic to your page, if your content is crap, it makes no difference anyhow.

Start with your website, start with what the experts call on page seo. This does not mean cramming the same keyword phrase into an article a thousand times, (if you think this is seo, stick your hand out so I can slap it). This means create an article that would make you excited to share it with somebody else if you found it. NEVER write your content for the search engines, ALWAYS write your content for the reader in mind.

If you write with the reader in mind, not only does it come off as such when it is read by others, but you are more likely to get some free PR (Press Release, not Page Rank) from your readers. If you can continue to crank out award winning content, seo (search engine optimization) will take care of itself, I Promise You!

If you have great information to share and you make it easy for people to add your content to popular social bookmarking sites, you won’t have to be “one of those guys” who goes and diggs his own content every day or stumbles every article he writes. And after all who wants to be One Of Those Guys anyways?

Article Marketing Works!

Article Marketing Has Been One Of The Most Powerful Traffic Generation Methods Since It’s Inception And Still Is.

There is no question about it, article marketing is among the strongest forces on the internet when it comes to driving long lasting streams of traffic to your web site. The basis of article marketing again is “Content Driven” however it is totally acceptable to submit the same article to a few or even hundreds of article directories.
This makes article marketing a lot less labor intensive and can put your content on some sites that already have some Google Page Rank so your content may receive attention from the search engines faster than on your own site.

Article Marketing In a Nutshell

Here is the breakdown and concept that drives article marketing and article directory sites.

US

-You as an article marketer create an article on the same or similar topic as the site you are wanting to drive traffic to.
-You post your article on many free article directories hopefully with page rank.
-You put a link to your site, using a keyword phrase that you would like folks to find you on Google from. The reverse thinking here is that google will see your keywords in your links on many sites and then rank your site higher in search results because of this, this is a strategy known to seo guys as “Link Building.”

Them

-The article directories get free content on their site, they get email addresses to market to, YOU.
-Website owners get to re-publish your article on their sites, but get this, they have to leave your link in the article to get rights to republish.
-Both article directory and web site re-publishers hope for some juicy adsense ads to show up next to your article to make money.

Now, this is not the fastest process, let me tell you. However you will NOT run across a longer lasting and self sustaining link building system. The links that are in your articles getting automatically spread all across the internet will give you a small trickle of direct traffic from click throughs on your links and if you mix up your keywords on your links and you write many good quality articles, this can dramatically raise your search engine standings and through time, this one method can get you on the almighty #1 spot of google!

Some Quick Useful Links:

Top 250 Article Directories Listed By Google Page Rank – This is a list compiled of many many article directories, listed by their google page rank, so start your way at the top and work your way down.

Submit Free Articles – This is a new article directory and yes, it’s mine, you got me! Oh, well now that the cats out of the bag, read this squidoo lens to see why you should be posting even though its brand spanking new: Why www.SubmitFreeArticle.com Is Different Than Other Article Directories

Social Sites Will Really Start The Storm Front!

We are Still Talking About Creating A Web Site Traffic Tornado Right?

All jokes aside, social websites are the single fastest growing sector of the internet to date. I don’t know if you are going to start the next You Tube, so for the time being, lets go with the famous “If You Can’t Beat Em, Join Em” theory made famous by Bugs Bunny, I think.I do not have 10 hours to write on this topic right now, so I am going to give you the steak and potatoes version for the time being.

Types of Social Sites:

Social Bookmarking Site: Digg.com StumbleUpon.com Mixx.com Reddit.com

These sites help grow massive traffic if your site is submitted to many, these sites are considered to be authority sites in googles eyes.  What does this mean? This means google has a crush on these guys and if your site shows up here, Google will share the love!  Never take advantage of these sites, you will most likely be punished by google, but if you use them correctly and you have posts that others decide to add to popular social bookmarking sites, you will see a huge difference in traffic over night! I have had sites getting about 60 unique visitors a day, get over a 1,000 unique visitors in one night, just because somebody thought enough of my content to post it on stumbleupon.com so remember again, content is king.

Social Media Sites: YouTube.com Viddler.com MetaCafe.com Flickr.com

In today’s media loving world, you cannot discount the power of social media sites!  These are strong traffic generating machines and they are truly a force to be rekoned with,when it comes to generating free traffic for any site…This is a big part of your web sites Traffic Tornado, so make sure you don’t leave this one out.  The biggest thing here is video, guys if you don’t want your face on the net, no problem there are free applications that will let you record your screen or even turn articles into video automatically, if you need help finding these just contact us and we would be happy to point you in the right direction.  You can make one video and distribute it to about 20 video sites using some other free software, this is one of the most powerful marketing methods to create a “Buzz” about your site, not only can you put the web address of the site you are driving traffic to in the discription of your video, Make  Sure You Put It On The Video Too!  There are some shifty people who will share your video without the description and hey, I have never worried about this, because in my videos, I say the web address and it is at the bottom of the video, so steal it share and I am still lovin It and I suggest you use the same approach if you want to drive mad crazy traffic to your website

Social Networking Sites: Facebook.com Myspace.com Twitter.com

Depending on what business, offer, program or web site you are trying to promote, this can be of the most important places to drive relevant traffic directly to your site and make connections with even more folks that can help you do this over and over.  The magical thing about social networking sites is 2 fold, one localization – you can find people that are physically close to you – if you run a physical business and are trying to get people to see your website that tells them about your brick and mortar business then, this is truly a goldmine.  Second, relationships – this sounds corny, cheesy or just plain old strange, unless you are in a mlm business.  However, relationships in business are very important, you never know when you are going to run across that one guy that knows a thousand that would love to visit your website or would love to help send more people to your site for you.

What Do I Need To Do On Social Sites?

-Be Social: That Is Why We Are Here, Talk To People, Lots
-Be Interesting: Nobody Cares What The Boring Guy/Gal Is Doing
-Share Stuff: Videos, Pictures, Links
-Find Groups and Join Them
-Post About Your Site AND Other Sites That Are Cool Too
-Invite Many Friends and Get a Few, Every Day
-Make Your Own Groups To Share More About Your Site
-Have Fun and Help Others When You Can

Basic Affiliate Marketing Strategy

Posted by on May 7, 2009 in Getting Started, Webmaster Business Plan | 8 comments


Affiliate marketing is huge! To be successful with affiliate marketing you will need a strategy to successfully make money and create a stream of profit. We are going to discuss the basics of affiliate marketing here, of course there is more to know, but these tips and strategies will get any internet marketer off to a good start.

1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Well Affiliate Marketing is nothing more than a referral system that pays.

Affiliate marketing used to only be available for the biggest companies out there, but affiliate networks have opened up this opportunity to even the little guys on the web.

It works like this.  You go register to be an affiliate for a company, say Amazon.com and they will provide you with “Affiliate Links” to products on their site.  These links have  a code in them to track any sales and your account will be credited with a percentage of each sale that you refer.

Many companies will pay up to 50% of each sale, so you can see how this can be lucrative if you refer a lot of people to their products or services.

2. Find Affiliates Within Your Niche

It is very crucial that you find an affiliate program that is in the same market or niche that your website, blog or social sites are very interested in.  You can search for affiliates in your niche and then locate the top paying affiliates to use.  This will assure that you get the best response to your offers and that when somebody does buy, you get a good profit from each sale.

There is no use promoting a program that will only pay you one dollar per sale, unless you are selling hundreds a day.  I have always thought that cheaper items sell more often, but really if you are going to make money, lets shoot for some real money, not a dollar here and there.

Here are a couple to start with, you can of course search Google and find many more:

http://CJ.com

https://affiliate-program.amazon.com

http://www.google.com/ads/affiliatenetwork

3.  Never Spam, Ever!

This is common sense to some, but to many people spamming is what they call promotion.  You cannot just throw up your link every place that will let you and hope for sales.  That is not how affiliate marketing works.  In most cases you will get banned from sites, forums and other places you do this, so don’t waste your time doing it.

4. Promote Your Affiliate Program!

I think the #1 way to start promoting an affiliate program is to blog about it and similar interests.  Go to http://blogger.com and start a free blog today!  If you want a professional blog for cheap, we suggest AlienServ they provide cheap hosting and easy blog setup.

Blogging is a great way to get some true content out there and don’t be afraid to link to your affiliate program here, it is your site after all.

Another great way to start promoting your item, is to start writing articles on the topic and placing your link in the author bio, this takes time, but has proved to be very beneficial in my online efforts.

You can use many of the popular social bookmarking sites, like http://digg.com and http://stumbleupon.com to get more attention to your blogs.  I also suggest using RSS syndication to boost your blog traffic instantly.

Don’t forget your social networks.  Join some social networks and then get involved in groups that are about your topic or niche get to know people and let them know about your products and offers.

5. Earn!

Now that you have started your promotion, you should start getting some money coming in soon, if not, just turn up your marketing efforts and the results will come!  Affiliate marketing takes time and some effort, however it can payoff big time, if you put the work in.

Webmaster Business Plan is working on our own affiliate program and will have it available to the public soon, if you want to be notified when our affiliate network is up and running, simply sign up for our mailing list at the top right of this page.

To Success,
