A SECRET Traffic Strategy For Building A Powerful Search Engine Ranking – Traffic Loops
Jan 1st
This Traffic getting method Its called a Traffic Loop, and it is far more effective than doing each one of these traffic strategies individually.
Here we go….
Let’s say you are promoting Exotic Travel Vacations… this is your NICHE! It doesn’t have to be Exotic Vacations of course, because it will work in any Niche. You have now set up your WordPress org Blog and you are now ready to add content and promote your site.
The top part of the Home page will have a Video explaining your Exotic Travel Vacations Business, opposite the video – we have the opt in form.
1) You will offer a Free eBook, perhaps with plenty of travel tips, this Free guide is to encourage people to opt in to your list.
2) On this home page, you are going to give out a daily Travel Tip, you are also inviting people to share their holiday vacation tips & videos with you, and your Blog audience.. You will soon fill the home page with content this way, but like my own Money Making Tips Blog, you set it up to display 10 posts per page, with the current post always at the top, so readers will see a new tip at the top each day.
3) You will also mix the BEST travel vacation videos from your readers, with your dailyTip…
4) People will comment on these posts & videos each day, thus building valuable backlinks for you.
Now, here is where we start to build a Traffic Loop. Assuming the Videos are uploaded to You Tube Already, we negotiate with the owners of these holiday videos to carry our link under their Video, This immediately links us back to You Tube, and builds us more valuable links.
Now, here is what we do each and every day.
We write an Article each day on either the travel tip or the video the reader is sharing with us, or the vacation tip that you are producing – OR BOTH!, From this information alone, you could possibly write two to three articles a day, And in the author’s resource box, in these articles, we are linking the articles to our squeeze page.
We then, make a video of the tip, each day and upload this to You Tube, carefully Key worded (is that a word?) and suitably linked back to our website squeeze page.
We then post these Travel ” Tip Videos to our Facebook Fan Page & Group Pages….
The ones posted to our Fan Page, can also be seen by our friends on our personal Newsfeed… See how VIRAL this getting?
We also network our Blog through Networked Blogs on Facebook, to share our Blog Posts on our main personal feed, and our Fan and Group Pages.
And of course, our Fan & Group page will link people back to our website….
This has now formed a complete LOOP…. Why do we LOOP the traffic?
OK, let’s look at Article Marketing on it’s own – If you just did this and sent it in to Ezine Articles, yes some people will see it and possibly click on your likn, but how long will this take. It’s a bit like a train on a track… eventually traffic will slow down and the train will hit the BUFFERS… (you might just get a trickle of traffic for years to come)
BUT.. with the TRAFFIC Loop..
1) The Blog Acts as the central HUB.. it provides the platform to receive the CONTENT…
2) It relentlessly churns out the content and PUMPS it out into Articles…
3) You submit the Articles (with links) to EzineArticles and as many other Article sites as possible.
4) You turn the Articles into Videos (with links both underneath (clickable) and also show links on the video itself, if you know how to do this)
5) You show your videos on Facebook, both on your Personal wall, Fan Page & Group
6) Network your Blog through Networked Blogs to convey your daily posts to your personal wall, your Fan and Group pages. You can now also set up Networked Blogs to tweet these posts out on Twitter as well…
The reason this works so well is the ACTION that each of these tips produce once they are all linked together. Each component of the loop powers another component of the loop, hence almost forcing traffic generation along the loop…
In a nutshell. Blog > Tips > Articles > Video > Facebook > Networked Blogs on Facebook > Facebook Wall, Fan Page > Group Page > Twitter > Blog….
So what do you think, LOOPY Idea or TRAFFIC Brainwave?…
Top 5 Benefits of Using WordPress For Your Website
Dec 31st
If you have never built a website before, one of the quickest and easiest ways to get your first domain live and operational in only minutes is to install WordPress on your website.
WordPress is a blogging platform that allows you to have a pre-built website for free that will allow you to focus on the more important items like content, and if you desire it, sales and profits.
WordPress Benefits
In more than a decade online, I have literally built dozens of websites, many from the ground up… But since I discovered the ease of use and powerful flexibility of the WordPress platform, I am building most of my newest websites under this Content Management System (CMS).
The reasons I prefer the WordPress blogging platform are many, but I will sum it up with the following five key benefits:
1. Quick and Easy Installation – If you have a web hosting company that runs cPanelX as your webmasters’ control panel (many of the more popular web hosting companies do), then you will find an option in your control panel called, “Fantastico De Luxe”. When you click on the Fantastico icon, you will be taken to a page where you can add a multitude of free applications to your website, by following some simple instructions. Just click on the WordPress link to install WordPress on your website. The software will ask you some basic general information, then do the full install of one of the most recent WordPress builds into your website.
2. Website Themes – Few webmasters want to use the generic WordPress Theme that ships with WordPress. The default WP Theme is plain Jane, and to my taste, perfectly drab. There are many people who design custom WordPress Themes that you can easily upload to your domain, to change the appearance and feel of your WordPress website. Some of the WP Themes are paid versions, but most of them are free. There are more than one thousand themes loaded directly into the WordPress website ( wordpress.org/extend/themes/ ), from which you can choose, although you are not limited to just the themes loaded into the WordPress website.
3. Website Functionality – Just like with the WordPress Themes, if there is a specific functionality you want your blog to perform, there are programmers out there who have made WordPress Plugins that will do for you those things you would like to do. There are nearly 8,000 WordPress Plugins on the WordPress.org website ( wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ ), and thousands more that are not in the WordPress database. If you find a Plugin you want, just download, unzip, and upload it to the appropriate Plugin directory on your blog. After you have uploaded the Plugin, simply go to the Admin area of your Blog to activate the software.
4. Open Source – WordPress has been built in PHP, and its source code is visible to everyone who wants to look at it. On top of that, WordPress has included comprehensive documentation and a range of functions to help programmers work within the WordPress Codex. Anyone with a minimal knowledge of PHP can program WordPress Themes and Plugins, without too much effort.
5. Self-Updating – In recent versions, WordPress has included a feature that will notify you if upgrades are available for the basic WordPress operating system or your chosen WP Plugins. When upgrades become available, you will be notified, and often you only need to click a link to automatically install the upgrades and updates.
I have a friend who is a PHP coder by trade. I try not to mention WordPress in his presence, because every time I do so, I get an ear-full of “WordPress Sucks…”
To be honest with you, I still like WordPress… I like it, because it is easy to install and maintain, and I can improve it easily by using templates and plugins.
I am a coder, but life is too short to spend all of my time coding new websites… I am happy to spend my time creating content that will lead to sales… So for me, WordPress is good, and I am happy to put it on as many websites as I need to do…
If you are new to the Internet, then you might agree that WordPress is a blessing to those of us, who have more important things to do than to recreate the wheel…

Top 10 Link Building Ideas – Read More About Them
Dec 31st
You can get your site to the first page of Google’s search result page and can even get such a site to the top 5, but the truth of the matter is that you have to be ready to work. Getting to the top 5 sites that will appear in the search engines’ result page when your keywords are searched for isn’t an easy feat, but it is very essential in giving your site the needed targeted traffic that will boost your entire business operations. You can outsource the link building needs of your online business to the link building experts who would use various ways to make sure that your site ranks high in the search engine result pages.
Below are ten difference ways any website owner can use to the number of inbound links to his or her site or blog and subsequently boost the page rank of such blog or site with ease.
You can start by creating Squidoo lenses. You have to make sure that your lenses are keyword optimized and don’t forget to link back to your blog or site for more traffic and high page ranking. HubPages are related to Squidoo but there are independent of each and can both be used to amass the needed one way inbound link required to boost the popularity of one’s site or blog online for higher page ranking. You can get vital one way inbound links from the forum signatures. You must try not to spam on forums but search for forums in your niche and use your keywords to create signatures that would carry not more than one or two of your links. Blog commenting resembles forums signature but they are quite different in some cases. As was said in the forum signature, you shouldn’t spam and be sure to always make meaningful contribution so that you wouldn’t just be getting inbound links but people will begin to click-in to your site or blog. Article marketing is another very effective link building technique you can adopt from today. Simply write articles that relate to the subject of your site and submit to the directories with your link in the author resource box. You can also start linking your blogs together if you have multiple blogs. This is quite effective because you are in control and knows the exact pages you would link up with the other blogs. Don’t waste the profile pages of any of the social networks you join with using your keywords to describe yourself or business and adding a link to your site or blog there as well. You can as well put a link to your site or blog to every email that you send through email signature. It requires only one time set up. The positive effects of viral marketing such as creating and freely distributing quality ebook with your links are very important. You can exchange links with related blogs or sites but make sure that you place the out bound links in your pages that are ranking lower so that the inbound links would have more positive impact.
