Here’s a proven web traffic generation plan.
Before we start, it’s important to note that traffic generation tactics are not something you do once and forget about. Rather, traffic generation tactics should be part of your site’s ongoing marketing plan. The steps I am listing below should be done often. I recommend weekly or semi-weekly.
Here we go:

Research Keywords (Here’s a Tutorial). This may be obvious to many but make sure that your keywords are highly relevant to whatever it is you are promoting. Really, you should be targeting keywords that buyers …

You’d be surprised how many SEO experts out there don’t understand the concept of canonicalization. I know that from having talked to at least 100 SEO pros. Canonicalization is something worth knowing about…even if just to test your SEO company to find out if they know what they’re talking about. Anyhow, have  a look. If you have questions or comments let me know.

Okay guys…these next couple videos should clear a few things up. You may be wondering… Where does Google get the information they display in the search engine ranking results?
I could tell you…but I think Matt Cutts, Google’s head search education dude will do a better job. Have a look. Next video we’ll talk about canonicalization and 301 redirects.

Hey guys,
I know, I said the next post was going to be “How to create a membership site (part 2).” I want to get to that post but I have been really slammed with a lot of copywriting and consulting gigs lately. I have barely had time to catch my breath. But…in an effort to give you something good, I though I would do a short screencast about a couple of tools I use for researching niches and keywords for profitability.

I’ll try and do membership sites part 2 as soon …

Hey guys,
Sorry, I have been going mad over some autoblogging stuff lately and haven’t posted much. I’ll be posting more pretty soon. I have some experiments going right now with autoblogs and site flipping I’ll post the results of those experiments soon.
For those of you who don’t know, autoblogging is the creation of highly targeted blogs that use a number of special plugins to automatically extract and generate relevant content which can be monetized in various ways such as Adsense, Amazon Associates Links, Ebay Partner Program, Clickbank and more.
I’ll get …

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.
Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These …

It’s always challenging trying to come up with something someone hasn’t written about already. There are dozens of ways to get traffic to your site. I will cover some of the more obvious ways in another post in this series but today I’m going to be covering some less known and in some cases controversial traffic tactics.
First of all, there is no free traffic. You will always pay something whether it is time or money but there are definitely things you can do to leverage both.  Lets look at five …

Browsing online forums I am continually reminded that there are many people who believe the internet is the be-all-end-all medium for their business.
That may be the case for them. I suspect that kind of thinking is also at least partially responsible for the large numbers of people not making any money online either.
Sometimes you have to suck it up and get away from the computer. Get outside and promote yourself and your products.
This can be uncomfortable. I remember my first attempts at selling and marketing my own products over the …

I am going to be honest, pay per click advertising(PPC) can be downright frustrating. It seems like most times I use PPC I end up getting killed. The reason I am thinking this way at the moment because this was a particularly expensive week for me using PPC to no avail.
The late Gary Halbert, copywriter and direct marketing maven was once quoted as saying something to the effect of “whatever business you think you are in you’re wrong. You are in the business of arithmetic.” And of course, after thinking …

About a month or so ago I thought I would conduct an experiment to see if the directory submission service offered by WLMarketing would improve my page rank, traffic, or backlinks.
First of all, If you think I am going to give you a phony review with an affiliate link to WLMarketing you’re wrong. I’ll be honest, I would if I thought the service was of any real value but at this point I feel the $105 dollars I spent was a waste of money.
I signed up for the following …

Okay, you might not be surprised to read news on this site about the Yahoo/Microsoft search partnership.You may not be surprised to find me talking about the Rorschach Test on this site either. After all, personality and emotional response are definitely interesting to marketers. But what about the Cash for Clunkers program of government subsidies on trade-ins of older vehicles?
I’ll let you in on a little secret, something I have been experimenting with on some of my sites lately. A while back I was writing about a current news article. …
