A few days ago I asked my email list what topics they’d like me to write about. One of the top requests was on how to drive traffic to their websites. So with that in mind…
Getting Website Traffic
There are both free and paid ways of driving traffic to your sites. Of the paid ways, expenditure runs from a very modest couple of bucks to $100+ per month for subscription based services.
While free methods are fine, their big drawback is the amount of time it takes. The more sites you have, the more time you have to spend building backlinks. For the normal Joe with just a couple of hours free in the evenings to dedicate to websites, that time can be quickly eaten up by all the manual backlinking that has to be done.
That’s where the paid tools start to come in. If you want to save time , or spend less of it building backlinks, you’re going to have to put your hand in your pocket. Time is money as they say.
However, various people have various budgets and while one might be able to afford $100+ per month on a subscription service, another may only have a couple of spare dollars to play with. Read the rest of this entry »
The emails I get most often from people are about how they can drive traffic to their websites.
A tool I came across not so long ago is SEO Equalizer. It’s been around for a while and sells for $97 on Clickbank.
But, Charles Kirkland convinced it’s author, Jeff Alderson, to reduce the price in this Warrior Special Offer to only a fraction of that cost (currently $17)…but the price is shooting up as folks are discovering this wild deal this evening on the Warrior Forum. This does include training, you have gotto see this (and move on it) right away:
Anyone who runs a blog always want more of one thing – traffic. The traditional way of driving traffic has been to build backlinks to your site and inner pages.
Some bloggers are also using plugins to add Facebook “Like” buttons and such to their sites. However, these don’t take advantage of Open Graph which Facebook uses to classify content. Worse, Facebook plugins can conflict if you use more than one on a blog. This is down to the different SDK’s and API’s used when the plugins were written.
But regardless of what Facebook plugin you might be using, are all “Likes” created equal? Well, with the Open Graph meta tags used by Facebook to differentiate, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
Facebook Search now analyzes the web page or blog post that a link comes from to see if there is any relevant information it can use to better serve it to their “social graph”. That means it will connect information from various websites onto the Walls of facebook users based on their “social graph” and the meta data on those web pages. The “social graph” is how they are connected to friends based on “likes” and “comments” amongst other things. Read the rest of this entry »
I just released the latest edition of my site building tool, SiteBuilder Elite.
SiteBuilder Elite is a PHP script that builds affiliate websites with ease, so if you know nothing about how to build a website, HTML or PHP, it’s a tool that will suit you.
The script runs on your webserver, so it doesn’t matter if you use a PC or a Mac. All site building is done online, through your browser. Any changes you make to a site are site wide and instant, so there’s no need to modify multiple files to ripple a change across a site.
In the new version, I’ve added support for more article directories from which articles are downloaded to build content on pages.
Building a website is only part of the equation for making money online. The other part of the equation is in building backlinks to your sites and driving traffic as a result.
I’ve added a new page to this site called Domain Names & Blogs For Sale where I’ll be selling aged domain names and pre-built WordPress blogs. Stats for each (PageRank, Alexa traffic, pages indexed and no of backlinks) are available from the page.
If there’s a niche or topic you’d be interested in seeing a blog created for, drop me an email. I can’t promise that I have the content available to build such a blog but there’s a good chance that I do.
Check the page fairly frequently (about once a week) to see what new domains and/or blogs are on offer.
