Using Traffic Exchange Programs Part 2

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

(Continued from Using Traffic Exchange Programs Part 1)

Hello again!

In this sequel, I will show you how you can surf for credits at the same time without having to cheat and gain opt-in subscribers for free.

If you have been following up until now, you will agree with me that this is an awesome concept (though not exactly new).

Download the Crazy Browser

=========================

Download the Crazy Browser at www.crazybrowser.com/download.htm. This wicked program allows you to open several web pages at the same time in a single browser (now the suspense is over!).

In the last series, I have asked you to join as many Traffic Exchange programs as possible. If you have not then do it now! (this also proves that you have not been following me! How could you?)

Crazy Browser has a feature that allows you to save combinations of web site addresses as individual groups. Now, let’s try one out.

Assuming you have joined Traffic Swarm, type your surf-for-credit URL for Traffic Swarm in the address bar and hit the Enter key.

The Traffic Swarm surfing page opens. Cool!

Now, repeat the same process for the rest of the Traffic Exchange programs you have joined. The other pages will appear under new tabs. After you have entered all the web page addresses of the Traffic Exchange programs, click on the main menu “Groups” and then click “Save All Pages as Group”. Give the group a name (e.g. “Traffic Exchange”) and save.

Now every time you start the program, you just click and open the group folder. All of your Traffic Exchange programs will load on the same page.

Now isn’t that awesome?

If you have a slow connection, opening so many pages at the same time can be stressful for both you and your computer. Perhaps, surf as many as 3 to 4 pages at the same time.

You can set your own time and connection speed limit.

Setting Your URL Campaign

========================

The next thing to do on the list is to set your URL campaigns. Since you are now surfing for credits, those same credits will be used to drive traffic to your web page.

In the URL Manager for all the Traffic Exchange programs you have joined, set the URL to point to your web page where visitors can subscribe to your regular newsletter or get a free e-book or report for free.

Set the URL Manager to point to those pages and nothing else! Why? Here are some hard and fast rules:

[1] Visitors who use the Traffic Exchange programs like you are usually not in a mood to buy anything when they use the programs.

[2] If you have been using Traffic Exchange programs for some time, you will find that most of the pages you see are looking to reach for your wallet. While there is nothing wrong with that, these people have yet to gain your trust let alone prove their worth.

[3] You will want to separate yourself from these people by offering a free newsletter or give away at your web page in exchange for their name and e-mail address. Since people will not have to fork out their credit card just yet, they would like to have something for free. Don’t you, too?

[4] If you have a website selling products or services, it is unwise to direct users of Traffic Exchange programs to the Killer Sales Letter straight away like a charging sales man (which is why I said differentiate yourself from others!).

I hope I have convinced you enough.

The beauty of getting visitors to subscribe to your regular newsletter or get a free e-book or report from you is that you have a chance to prove your worth and build trust and rapport with them.

This beats assaulting people with a sales letter which will produce little or no sales. I have tried it before so don’t you even try it, too!

In the last article of this series, I will wrap it up with a case study on this ingenious concept.

I will see you again!

Generate Huge Traffic Through Article Marketing

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Articles can offer information to your readers and can let you demonstrate your capabilities. When you post your articles, you can create traffic to your web site and generate links back to it.

Article marketing is the approach of composing articles that are related or have a connection to the business that you are in and then publishing such articles to different websites of corresponding firms having a link or connection back to your website. This kind of promotion online is an effective method to encourage traffic and increase your sales.

Why article marketing?

1. Its a way that you can be regarded as an authority in your area of interest. As there are thousands of competitors online, it will be difficult to sell your products to customers and your about us corner may not be able to differentiate you from your competitors. Nonetheless, when customers are able to read your well composed, helpful and educational articles that are published on a number of websites, then you will be regarded as an authority in your area. The more articles that you publish, the more exposure that you will gain, enhancing your reputation.

2. Useful and Informative articles accumulates reliance in your capacity in providing a wonderful service or product. When selling online, your strength is to be knowledgeably and truthfully distinguished. If your article is chosen by a certain publisher and published on a reputable website or an ezine, to a certain effect, that publisher is recommending you, impressing the readers thus they will be confident and assured in making a deal with you.

3. Articles will advertise your products. Take note that what counts most is the quality and not quantity of website traffic. The best type of traffic that you can obtain is from individuals that have read and liked your articles; these readers visit your website because they are eager to know and understand more so they are the ones who has the tendency to purchase something than those who visit your site without introduction or knowledge to your opinions and ideas.

4. Articles that are issued on other websites build one-way links back to your website. While link building is an essential ingredient to creating a successful website, like with generating traffic, quality and not quantity counts the most. Every time that your articles are published on a different website, you can get a link back to your website; these are called one-way links and you are not required to exchange links to obtain them. Generally, these links are from such pages with few outbound or outgoing links compared to typical link pages wherein usually your link is enlisted when you make a reciprocal understanding.

Guide to article writing

1. Write about a subject matter that you are familiar with, so you can create excellent content. Do a lot of research and find information on a topic that you are not familiar with.

2. Be exact and informative. Supply pointers that can be easily understand and followed. Present your articles with bulleted or numbered steps to achieve better readability.

3. Make your article interesting. Write about a topic that your target readers are eager to know about so your article is assured to be viewed. Questions that are frequently asked or certain things that are usually misinterpreted in your field will make a good topic to talk about. Work out a problem that your readers have with the use of your article.

4. Be always on the lookout of wrong grammar and spelling as well as incorrect use of the English language.

5. Create an article that is abundant in keywords. Whereas this does not necessarily suggest that you overly fill your content with keywords, when used regularly and normally during the course of the article, your targeted readers can easily search and locate your piece of writing.

6. The authors resource box. This is the space located at the bottom part wherein you can say something about yourself and promote your website. Use brief but catchy sentences to draw a lot of attention.

7. Submit your article. In order to bring about the best results, concentrate on directory sites that are capable of reaching your targeted readers. Examine the content and substance of your article first, before you submit it. You can make use of a software or submission services to make sure that they are posted and published as opposed to submitting articles to different directories manually; it can consume a lot of your time and not as effective. Mistakes that are usually made in article writing:

Reason to endorse with articles versus reason to write

Lead generation, branding, and site promotion are three main reasons to endorse with an article and audience or reader information is one main reason and goal to write and compose an article. When your article is not set towards its main purpose, then not one will be interested to read it and you will not achieve the three advantages of article promotion.

Setting out the article promotion and not having a plan

Not all articles can achieve lead generation, branding, and site promotion. There will be others that will work best for branding, some for lead generation and increase in sales. However, if you dont have a plan to start out for your articles purpose and function then youll wind up not contented with the outcome.

Content is not beneficial to the reader

Keep in mind that not all article directories will receive your editorial automatically. In order that article marketing to achieve satisfying results, write contents that publishers want to publish and readers want to read.

Article marketing can be very powerful when you bring together understanding of keywords that readers use in order to locate your site, the links that are significant to your websites adaptation and the content that supply information to your prospect readers.

Keep in mind supplying information to your readers is the most essential to your success. Your eagerness to help with honest, factual, complete and detailed articles will not only generate huge traffic, but produce trust in your readers that will bring you lasting rewards.

Tips to Boost Your Website Traffic

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Directories help locate websites within specific or definite categories. The difference between search engines and directories is that, directories feature only vetted websites, sites that have a certain standard and contain information of substance.

One of the aims of using directories is to boost traffic. To achieve this, one must choose to be featured in large, organized directories like Yahoo, DMOZ, and LookSmart. These will drive highly targeted traffic to you site (subject specific), increase significantly the link popularity, and Google PageRank.

To maximize exposure:

• Find a category that is most relevant to your website. The category and subcategories must totally fit the subject of your site and its purpose. For example, if your site is health related business the site must feature under health and not business. Only then, will surfers seeking health related websites access yours. Do a keyword search that is relevant to your site on the directory. The directory will throw up categories relevant to the key words. Choose one which is suited in all aspects.

• Coin a title and description that will boost traffic not reduce it. The title must be “dead on.” It should include the most important key word and if possible begin with a letter towards the beginning of the alphabet. And, the 15-25 word description should succinctly summarize the purpose or functions of your site. While being descriptive and informative, try and weave in as many keywords pertaining to your site as possible.

• Purchase keywords from one of the pay-per-click search engines or directories.

• Make the website search engine friendly.

• Pay attention to text and image content. Heavy images reduce search engine visibility.

• Use back links on appropriate directories and trade or business listings. Check out the back links used by competitors.

• Add new content regularly. This encourages visitors and search engine spiders to return. Make sure the content is keyword rich.

• Start and maintain a web log or blog. This can become an active way to boost traffic while simultaneously disseminating information.

• Market your website by printing its address on business cards, paper bags, packaging and so on. Distribute an e-zine or updates as newsletters regularly to customers and business associates.

• Consider paying search engines for improved listings and fast appraisal of your site.

• Direct content towards search engines by adopting cloaking technology.

• Run advertisements on related web sites and mailing lists.

• Adopt a reciprocal link program.

Maximize traffic by monitoring your traffic regularly. Analyze visitor movements and frequencies. Find out what is effective and what is redundant. Use cookies efficiently. Understand technology and use it to the maximum. Keep updated on new innovations and developments. Write down a workable website marketing strategy.

There are simple steps to victory: be different, make sure your website is refreshing and delivers what it promises; create a network of supporters; be honest in your business ventures; deliver on time at affordable costs; be a learner all your life, constantly innovate your website to keep stride with changing times; carve out an exclusive niche and diversify in directions that are relevant to your business module.

Choose Your Website Cross-Links Wisely

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

It pays to be careful when you decide to link with a site. Choosing the wrong Website will diminish your credibility and could result in being penalized by the search engines. Sticking to relevant sites that you have personally reviewed is the recommended way of building your Website traffic and search engine ranking.

Everyone who has a Website and seeks to establish cross-links is solicited by a variety of sites, some good and some bad. It helps to establish the criteria for the sites with which you will consider linking before engaging in this activity. If your goal is to drive qualified traffic to your Website and to enhance your appeal to search engines, then you must be selective about the sites with which you exchange links.

Only trade links with complementary sites whose products or services are relevant to your offerings. A real estate site that cross-links to a casino site, for example, is not acting in the best interest of its visitors. It may even be penalized by search engines such as Google for attempting to build ranking with irrelevant cross-links. Ideally, the site linking to your Website should attract a clientele that would also be interested in what you offer. Thus, anyone who clicks on your link is pre-qualified and is more likely to purchase something from you.

Search engines have gotten smarter. They can distinguish between relevant links and those that represent “links for links sake,” and your site ranking will suffer consequently. Never, ever sign up for a link farm or seek links from irrelevant sites simply because they already have a high search engine ranking. Those failed strategies are now the kiss of death among leading search engines. It is best to only sign up with cross-linking services that allow you to be very selective in trading links.

It is better to have a small number of good cross-links than a large number of irrelevant links. Choose wisely and over time you will benefit from increased traffic that actually contributes to your revenues and organic search engine ranking.
