How to Get All the Free Traffic You Want

blog trafficThis is a guest post by Terry Dean the internet marketing coach.

Traffic…it’s the lifeblood of an internet business.

There are dozens of ways to generate traffic such as Adwords, banner advertising, search engine optimization, social media, and so on.  BUT  the last thing you want to do is get distracted and try to use a dozen different methods all at once.  That just creates confusion for you…and your business.

But what if I told you there was a way to tap into all the free traffic you want…and use every one of those methods at the same time without being an expert at any of them?

Jimmy Brown is Retiring

jimmy brown retires 300x198Jimmy Brown, one of the most successful internet marketers is retiring…his products. He isn’t personally retired from internet marketing but he is retiring ALL his products including membership sites, coaching programs, ebooks, software programs, small reports, etc.

“Why?” I hear you asking because I agree it’s a bit strange to stop selling all your products, isn’t it?

He gives 3 reasons:

1. To free up time for personal interests

He does a lot of work for Christian based companies and he wants to spend more time doing that sort of thing.

2. To streamline his business

Increase the Traffic to Your Blog Using These 5 Ways

blog to do list smallThe ideas in this article are not new and they have been shared by numerous other blogs and bloggers.

So why am I repeating the same advice?

Because so many bloggers simply miss or don’t carry out these simple tasks.

Many bloggers think they can make a blog and traffic will come instantly. They don’t realize it takes a lot of effort to get traffic.

But it can also act as a reminder for experienced bloggers, as well.

Getting traffic is a challenge that everyone faces as even the most popular bloggers experience a decrease in viewers every now and then.

How to Write Blog Posts – a round up of the best advice

How to Write Blog PostsI know that sometimes it’s really hard to write articles that grab reader’s attention and generate more traffic at the same time. Online users would become frequent visitors if they see that your site contains useful and important information.

It’s even harder to get people to comment!

This week I had a guest post accepted over at my blogging buddy, Case Stevens blog, Affordable Internet Marketing.

My blog post is entitled, “How Do I Get People To Read And Comment On My Blog?” and so far it has attracted a much higher percentage of comments compared to RSS subscribers than Darren Rowse and Yaro Starak.

The EzineArticles crackdown is coming

ezinearticles logoBack in July this year, Squidoo started cracking down on what you could and couldn’t add to one of their lenses.

Far too many people were adding lens after lens which just talked about affiliate products and gave no advice, whatsoever.

So the inevitable crackdown came. At the time, Squidoo said:

1.    No Spam. This one’s not new!

2.    No more X-rated or Porn lenses

3.    No Junk Topics from our “SquidDon’t” List

4.    A new limit on overly promotional lenses

Back in July, there was a huge amount of positive to come from these changes.

The ‘up’ times

Free guide – How to build a profitable blog in 45 minutes

I’ve received some great feedback on my free guide,  “How to build a profitable blog in 45 minutes” and this week I got round to updating it. So I’m pleased as punch!

The three keys to a successful affiliate marketing strategy

Affiliates are an vital part of the Internet marketing world and having an affiliate marketing strategy is of utmost importance.  If you don’t already know by now, they not only help drive traffic if you have your own products, but becoming an affiliate can be one of the easiest ways to get started making money by promoting other people’s products.

What is an affiliate?

An affiliate is an individual who sends traffic to a product creator’s website. They are given a special website URL, called an affiliate link, which tracks how much traffic they send to the product website. They receive a commission for each sale that is made for their affiliate link.

The internet marketing bad times

Simon Cowell in normal mood!

We all have good experiences, days, weeks, times – whatever we wish to call them

And we have bad times, don’t we?

During my working week, I experience both and rather than just sharing theory, knowledge and advice, I thought I’d make a change and share with you my good and bad ‘working’ times I have experienced this week.

But rather than good and bad, I’m going to call then my ‘up’ times and my ‘down’ times!

Why?

Stake your claim in social media

If you have ever been a parent then you know what agonising times they were trying to decide on the name of your newborn child, unless of course you had to follow protocol and name the kid after his great grandfather three times removed.

How much time do you spend deciding on your name that will be your ID or handle on the internet? As with naming a child, the name you present yourself with is important. It will represent your online identity.

This is Key if you want to be successful in Internet Marketing

There are numerous factors that determine whether you are successful on-line or not. Factors like getting enough traffic to your site, having the correct SEO set-up, having a great sales page.

So just imagine:

  • you are the best copywriter in the world and you have created a phenomenal sales page
  • you have set up your site perfectly with the best keywords and optimization and Google loves your site
  • your site receives the highest traffic for any website on the net

But…you are still not selling!

Imagine that!

Why aren’t you selling?

Your On-Line Credibility Depends On Who You Hang Out With

social bookmarking 300x300Establishing a credibility as an internet marketer depends on many components.

I’ve previously spoken about how your credibility starts with your name and your expertise levels.

Another area is your presence in the social media space. It is vitally important who you hang out with and how you interact with people.

As a very simple example: imagine yourself at a conference you are attending as a delegate. You see the list of speakers and you notice that predominantly they are together. There is a kind of aura of expert knowledge attached to them. Then there are some people that are not speakers but also socialise with them.
