TOP BEST SOURCE TO INCREASE YOUR BLOG TRAFFICS

In First Article I am tell you how to increase free traffic for your blog, Promises of fast traffic and big bucks often separate even the most savvy business person from their money because they want to believe the promises made by these traffic hucksters.

However, rather than thinking “complicated equals better” in the traffic game, the best website traffic sources rate extremely easy to separate from the useless garbage traffic.

Fact: “Good Traffic” equals “Targeted Traffic!”

Good traffic comes from people clicking links on topics targeted to their interests and getting directed to a website containing information they want and expect as a result of clicking the link.

To my knowledge, only three ways exist to get a link to your site: buy it, “voodoo” it, or grow it.

** Buy Links**

Buying links actually rates the fastest way to get traffic to your website.

You simply sign up for Google AdWords at Google.com or you open an account with Overture.com.

You can also buy links in ezines, newsletters, and on other people’s website either on a per-click basis, for a period of time (a week or month), or in exchange for paying them a commission if a sale gets made as a result of a click on the link.

** Linking “VoodDoo” **

Linking “voodoo” refers to attempting to manipulate the search engines into displaying links to your website.

Blogging Essential to a Good Career!

Ok’s… possibly not in EVERY field, but check this Boston Globe article out: Blogs ‘essential’ to a good career. The author makes some good points:
“It’s [a blog] the new public relations and it’s the new home page … it’s a way to let people know what you are thinking about the field that interests you.” Assuming you actually have good ideas to contribute to your chosen field, blogging about them is probably a good thing.

Employers “google” prospective employees - and it’s viewed as a good thing when your blog comes up high in the rankings (which it will do if you’re a good blogger - because others will link to you).

You need to have a purpose and stay on topic. Mixing personal and professional posts isn’t seen as a good thing. Personal voice - good thing… personal problems - bad thing.

Then the article lists 8 reasons blogging helps your career:

 blogging creates a network

 blogging can get you a job (has an example)

 blogging is great training - you will learn more about your topic. I’d also say your writing and presentation style will improve, as well.

 blogging helps you move up quickly - by going around the middle-man and establishing yourself as an expert

 Blogging makes self-employment easier - it’s a way to market your small business

OK - there ARE 8 reasons, but not all of them are “real” reasons (ie., the 8th one - blogging makes the world a better place). Yadda, yadda… Still a good artile, though!
