Fact: Blogs Need Daily Traffic

Attention Readers:

When you show me the traffic then
it won’t be long before you can show me the money!
Do you believe it?

• Without traffic who is looking at your blog or website?
• Are happy just sharing among your inner circle?
• Is it time to step out of the box here and look at why you are blogging?

Is your blog or website a business or is it just because you love to write?
Even if you just love to write and share information, wouldn’t it be nice to
have some extra dollars rolling in so maybe you could automatically pay for
your hosting fees?

If you are hobby blogging or have a hobby website maybe some extra money coming in would get you more toys or whatever you need to expand your hobby.

How do you get some extra traffic to your website?

That is the question men and woman have been seeking to answer daily.  It changes
over time.  That is one thing you can count on.

Getting traffic to your website or blog requires a variety of tools and techniques.

Some people excel at driving traffic to their websites and blogs. Others never quite catch the fact that getting traffic takes a combination of time, energy, and money.

• Do you have to reinvent the wheel though?
• Do you have to be an innovator to succeed in getting visitors to your blog or web pages?

There are people who are very successful and never worry about having
a top page listing at Google.  They have other ways to drive traffic.  I bet
you want to know what they are doing.

The Top Three Ways To Drive Traffic To Your Blog Or Website For 2010

1. Go Social: While this may sound easy, you have to make sure you find the right social sites to be active on.
There are so many sites out there, and we are drawn to the top ones such as Twitter and Facebook. However did you think that it might be easier to make friends on a less populated site?
Friends who would actually want to get to know you?

This is part of relationship building that is so important in this era of Web 2.0 and now 3.0 and beyond.

• Take time to look around at the social sites and before you spend all your time there, get to know it.
• Is this the type of site where you can make a difference?  Do you like the people and the culture of the site?
• What do they offer as far as ways to promote your business service?

2. Become A Valued Blog Commenter: Share your personality, knowledge, and enthusiasm with other blogs.

Become the visitor that you want to have visityour blog.    This is something I stress.  When you are the visitor, you are going to get visitors.  This, too, develops excellent relationships.

I have made good friends across the internet that started with blog
comments.

3.Promote Your Link: This last way can take
the most time and money depending on how you choose to do it.
While steps one and two require some time, the costs can be free to minimal depending on the social sites you join. If you are paying for a social site make
sure you are getting publicity for your websites and blogs from it.

Also search for people who will reciprocate some link exchanges with
you. The more popular their site is, the more good it will do you to
have your link there.

The following ways do work, but they require more knowledge and time
spent. You have probably heard of most of these ways and they are in depth
topics for other articles.  I will give a brief overview of three ways to promote.

• Search Engine Advertising:  Yahoo, Google, MSN-Bing:
  These do cost you per click and you need to set up a budget and be able to monitor your ads daily and change them as needed for your success.
  Some people start this way and once they are getting traffic they can discontinue the ads.
  This advertising is a great way to get specific demographic targeting
  to your site.
• Text Ad Exchanges:
  There are thousands of them out there.  I am finding more success at the smaller ones rather than the larger ones.  You can either spend time clicking on ads to get points for free advertising, or you can pay small fees to send out solo ads.  The solo ads do get response but remember sometimes you have to repeat this step several times to get noticed.
  This form of marketing takes time and patience to be good at, but it can be highly rewarding.
• Link Exchanges Or Ad Exchanges:
  There are a variety of these on the internet, and they can get you traffic.
  Once again you have to consder if you want to use the free way or the paid way.  Most of them involve either clicking on ads and viewing them for a certain length of time to get points,or exchanging links with other sites so you are constantly adding links to your blog to send visitors off to other blogs.

I have had good results using all of the above methods.  The method I use depends on my time and my cash flow.  I am always looking for the best ways and the most affordable ways to drive traffic to my blogs.  I hope this encourages you to get out there and start getting your blog or website some traffic.

I am finding that more and more companies are adding free advertising programs for anyone to join. These are web based advertising programs, and ways for you to start promoting your business or opportunity for free. I will be reviewing the ones that I have used and that have great customer support, and I do see my ads out on them, too.

Most have upgrade programs available. The fees are still less than I have spent on pay per click ads for months. Free is a great way to start. It is possibly the best way to start. You can test your ads to see how they pull in. When you get a great ad that is pulling in results, then you can think about using it in some of the search engine pay per click ads.

With advertising remember that repetition is best. People need to get familar with your ad. Once they see it enough they believe you have some stability, and it adds some trust. Do not give up showing your ad if nothing happens at first. This is why FREE ADVERTISING is a good way to start out. Most professional and successful advertisers are constantly testing their ads and you should, too.

Here are my top picks for Free Advertising Programs for today.

Have you heard of the Viral Vending Machines? Not the ones that are at your school, or work, or baseball field, but the ones where you can advertise your products, programs, or services. You can join for free and set up 3 ads. You can make money on your referrals and on any featured advertising that they might buy.
Click on the banner to find out more. Remember it is absolutely FREE to join.

I really think this is a great opportunity for anyone to join. The owner is a very down to earth person and there is great training once a week that is live and interactive. I am sure you will be impressed once you attend the training. You should join first to get all the training information. You do not have to pay to join this program. I recommend upgrading because this program is going to skyrocket very soon.

The other program is Orange Leads. This is a great FREE opportunity to get unlimited leads and to show your advertisement daily to every member. You can even get a free blog at Orange Leads, and share in the advertising revenue.
Orange Leads has a live community with chat features, ad features, and help readily available. You can make money here, too. Find out how to get started by clicking on the banner here.

I definitely recommend both of these sources. You should take advantage of these NOW.
Do now waste another day. We need traffic and free advertising is the best way to start.

This message was sent to Gibline members, but if you do have a business presence, or are trying to have a presence on the internet or with a business in general you can learn from the words in this email I received.

“I hope that all of you are off to a great start to the weekend.  For all
of you in the United States, I hope your Thanksgiving was both restful and
rewarding.  Here’s a thought: How many people are you going to invite to
the global conference call on Monday?

As you already know, our calls are a great way to educate others about the
power and the potential of gibLink, and it’s time for you to spread the
word!  There are some incredible things that you can accomplish with
gibLink, but why sit on the sidelines?  Get involved and build your very
own gibLink group of advertisers!

Some of you who are reading this might be wondering who you would speak
to.  The obvious answer is everyone involved or interested in business.  I
know that sounds a bit broad, so let’s break it down:

- Everytime you pick up a business card that doesn’t list a web site
and/or email address, you have just come into contact with someone who
needs to be connected to 21st century business and is a prime candidate for
the resources and relationships available through gibLink.

- Do you know anyone who has shared an idea with you?  Whether it’s a
business, a product or service, ask the easy question: Do you have web site
yet?  How about a domain name?  If they say no, you’ve got yourself a
gibSales client!  To take it forward one more step, wouldn’t it make sense
to show them how to get started with gibLink and reap the benefits of their
own services as an active advertiser?

The bottom line is this: doing business without an Internet presence is
just like having a business with no telephone, and doing business without a
gibLink presence is like having that telephone with no long distance.

What are you waiting for?  Get your business cards and postcards into as
many hands as you can over the weekend, and try to bring your community to
ours on our Global Conference Call Monday night at 10 pm EST!!!”

 There are some very powerful words in this email. Can it apply to you if you are not a gibline or giblink member?  Yes it can apply to you! Are you promoting anything?  Do you want to make some extra money?

What  about networking?  Do you want to network with other people?  Giblink is growing and it is going to be the mature MySpace.  Find out and pay a visit.

Here is the URL, just click this link and take some time to find out about GibLink and Gibline.  If you still are not sure then I have a free book for you just for visiting my website.
