More Traffic To Your Blog

PART TWO OF GETTING TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG OR WEB SITE

I am going to spend more time talking about TWITTER-If you are not a member join now it is free and easy to use,very much like blogging except you only have 140 characters to use,however this platform is based more on action to what you are doing at the moment in time-like I could twitter a post as "just writing a post about twitter on my blog" you then attach your blog or website URL -4 mins done, you have just advertised your self.

If you are creating a special blog on a niche idea,when joining Twitter have this in mind when picking user name,such as you were selling dog products your name could be "Dog Man" or "My Doggy Shop" something along those lines.

Now never just post links all the time without content you will get thrown out-which I agree! you are not there to spam. More you are with Twitter to build many followers with great content about yourself,and in the process you send them to your blogs or affiliate web sites. No where will you get such a free platform for FREE to promote your business ideas.

How to get followers:  This is fun and interesting-for instance to day just started following Kevin Spacey the actor,even Oprah is on there plus Brittany and more-join with them they have thousand of followers-Warning-remember your niche above all things. There are easy things to do to get followers

Finding people that use Twitter who are interested in your niche is actually quite easy. You just have to get a little creative with a Twitter Search Engine. Simply enter some keywords related to your niche, focusing especially on current hot topics or trends. The search engine will bring back all recent tweets containing those terms then all you need to do is look at the tweet and if it looks relevant click through to the user profile to see what other things that user tweets about.

First of all if you have a web presence such as a website or blog, make sure you advertise your Twitter profile prominently. This can just be a simple text link like I use in my sidebar. For WordPress blogs you can take this a step further and use a widget to display your latest tweets. Look to my widget on the left.

There are a couple of Firefox plugins I like--

Twitter Bin Another sidebar plugin for Firefox.

TwitterFox

If you don’t have a web presence try some blog commenting but using your Twitter Profile as your link. Also insert your link into email or forum signatures if you use those. I now have mine in my Warrior Forum sig. Another way to pick up a few followers is to just follow other people in your chosen area of interest - there are still some people who follow back anyone who follows them!

The Sites I Use Below

(1) Twhirl Great tool that can sit on your desk top that you can tweet from and follow all your followers-

the greatest thing is you are able to cloak(hide) your long URL'S which you can use anywhere,like Adwords-again free

(2) Tweetdeck You have to make decisions here as Tweetdeck is a bigger page but really cool-Also again you can cloak your URL'S for free,better than using Twitter to cloak-Only my opinion.

(3) Tweet Later is also free and offers you the chance to personalize your thank you message for following you,very handy as I never spam this message with my url's or products-just say something like "Thank you for following me looking forward to your Tweets~Darkmonk" something along those lines.

(4) Tweet Karma
This again is free and lets you see who is following you and who you follow.What is the point in following people that have no interest in your Tweets, get rid of them as you only need true friends that are interested in what you have to say.
Will post more as I find great sites to help us Twitter better!

----------------------

Now to Play Twitter with the BIG BOYS-are you up to this???????

The main player that will get you 10,000 followers if not double depending on your effort,but real easy to use site is? - no not done explaining the benefits-30,000 followers will give you the amazing factor of being able to contact these people with your posts and subtle ways of promoting your blog or Affiliate program-

You will never get this with Adwords as long as you have a hole up your butt-sorry to be crude-but having spent some years spending a small fortune on Adwords, far more than ever made selling my Affiliate programs (be careful with Adwords-will post more on this) Also chasing search engine placements which is a waste of time as Google will find you as long as your content is good-This is direct face to face with people! Twitter rules in my book learn how to use it before you sit back on your hands and go "Was going to do That"

You have a website and blogs whatever-you also are trying to sell affiliate programs if not your own? So far you have only spent say $10 for Domain-$10 hosting a month and free advertising, maybe a stab at Adwords but selling sweet all-Why?? Traffic,Traffic to your site is all important-My view is this,say you have 80 people a day looking at your blog (google analytics use this tool to check--) lets be really honest here using 80-20 rule you are very unlikely to make a sale-did they come from Search engines-direct links or programs like Stumbleupon,which I will talk on next post-find out-

Now lets consider this-Say you rented a car yard-stay with me here-you bought the best stock,big banners on the showroom,great busy spot-So now you wait for walk in traffic- In 2009 people use the internet to search for the best BMW and cheap on line- Advertising,websites,insurance,employing people- BOY is this expensive--

Back to the internet working from home-so far we have spent a small amount of money,however we have put hours into blogs and websites-I know trust me on that! Still we expect to make money-Guess you might see where I am coming from. Can you really think that the blog or website you have which is a BUSINESS yes a business will expand if you do not invest some cash into it-Look,great if your blog is about your life and pictures-you should not be on my site. I am real serious about making money blogging.

Again only my view,but feel if you do not have at least a $1000 to invest in your online future,stay with your day job---Know I sound hard here but over the last 4 years have invested time,money,my life researching how to make a buck on line-guess you are lucky me giving a portion of this away free-Not for long will be selling a few Ebooks soon that will have all my learning curves written-Sorry lets go back--

SO HERE ARE SITES THAT WILL HELP YOU TWITTER TO FAME AND FORTUNE

The main one is Hummingbird for Twitter Will teach you how to get thousands of followers with ease and join there Affiliate program for free-Great tools-The site you click on is by me with a video and more information-Just wanted to show you Hummingbird-Should you go ahead this will cost you $97 - Not hiding anything here, straight to the heart. If you are not ready to spend the money why look, as it will upset you not to go ahead.

---------

Next great Twitter learning which is cheaper and bloody good value is  Rockstar Valued at $49 -Really great value Just read web page and look at videos.

Making Money

You may already know that promoting affiliate programs in your blog is one of the best ways to earn maximum from your blog.

The problem is that you can't think of recommending or linking the right affiliate program when you are trying to concentrate on writing a blog post.

Even when you figure out what to promote, you first have to find the affiliate link, then link it to the right keyword in your blog post.

You can do this for a new post you are writing. But what if you discovered a new affiliate program and you want to promote it in your old posts? You'll obviously have to edit and save them again.

Now, think about this- what will you do if you want to change hundreds of posts you have already written to include the affiliate link?

Won't it take forever to do such things?

BUT by using MaxBlogPress  Ninja Affiliate , you can do that in mere seconds.

You'll just have to tell it what your affilite link is and what keywords you want it to link. Then it will automatically replace all the keywords in your wordpress blog with the affiliate link you want.
MaxBlog

The hundreds of old posts sitting there in your blog doing nothing will now instantly promote various affiliate programs which will keep on earning affiliate commissions on autopilot for you.

Check it out here:

MaxBlog Press

Not only that, MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate is a complete link management solution as well. You can manage, track, cloak and shorten unlimited number of links from the Ninja Affiliate itself.

Free WordPress Video Tutorials

I recently found a site that will be your turning point to changing your small information on blogging to a point in a few months to start earning some good dollars after all your hard work and frustrations-Please read further as this is all -Free Stuff here. Becomeablogger.com

I am always trying to find great information sites for us bloggers to really crank a great blog and make some dollars along the way- FOUND ONE

After many years and huge amount of dollars wasted to try and make a living from Internet Marketing-I realised one thing-Shit I am going down to many paths and not concentrating on one Niche idea and what platform to use-Past posts I talked about building a web site with  Sitebuildit which is a brilliant all in one company that will really help you become big on the internet building a Niche Website.
------

------
I started to understand and look for cheaper alternatives for people like you and me that really has not a lot of money to tip into a top web page and spend money on Adwords etc-Hence Blogging and WordPress I feel is the best platform to use- Bear with me for a minute!!
------
Money is not made easily on the internet over night,you have to learn the correct tools and constant learning what is new out there.
------
For instant Videos are the go at the moment on your blog or Website Next year there will be some other cool platform to use-To regress a bit so you do not get bored--We all need help to expand in new learning areas and people like Yaro Starak and Gideon Shalwick are the top few people that have achieved a area in life I know I want and you.They make a lot of money from the internet- Their Site is a learning curve you need to see,simple but direct -Why would they give information away for free?- Think about this--
____________
If we had all the money in the world and other people had nothing- We have a stalemate! There is no progression- So you have to put some back and help people to also make money,because they will spend and increase the growth of the world and there bank,plus getting a great kick out of life with people looking towards them as Guru's- It is not just making money it is also the Buzz these Guru's get from understanding people look up to them and because they are helping other people to make money they feel happier when they spend theirs- Maybe a bit to get your head around -but try to think out side the square-

Without Growth The World dies.

You might at this point think I am wacko-why do I bother to keep this blog going-I make peanuts from it at the moment. But as I give more free things away and try and help others to survive on line so my increase in earnings will go up-Bloddy hell it is not hard to realise- effort in the correct way without greed and hurting people put into life will give you reward-Takers end up greedy miserable beings.
"Money is Like Blood it Has To Circulate"

So this site I found has started to make me see a different insight to making money on the internet-Heaps and I mean Heaps of free learning materials I know you have no idea about-Please take a look it cost you zip until you want to go further,then it is only the cost of a average bottle of wine a month-And I love wine!!
Go here now for free  10 videos -If you are not happy with their site email me or post- Ok-

I was reading a article from Lost Art Of Blogging.



Which scared me a little as I would hate to have my site being redirected by hackers to a site that could be porn or worse and then have Google de-index my site from there search engine-In this article there is a link to a free plugin which I have just installed to my wordpress-very simple installation- Plugin is called LOGIN LOCKDOWN It is not the holy grail but it does offer some great protection.It simply works that if someone tries to hack into your site LockDown records the IP address and timestamp of every failed WordPress login attempt. If more than a certain number of attempts are detected within a short period of time from the same IP range, then the login function is disabled for all requests from that range. This helps to prevent brute force password discovery. Currently the plugin defaults to a 1 hour lock out of an IP block after 3 failed login attempts within 5 minutes. This can be modified via the Options panel. Administrators can release locked out IP ranges manually from the panel.
I highly recommend you get this free plugin and install into WordPress-Any problems doing this please email me.
