How To Get Targeted Traffic To Your Site Or Blog

How To Get Targeted Traffic To Your Site Or Blog

Directly or indirectly, this is perhaps the most common topic discussed in any forum or blog about making money online. This is as it should be, as it is the most important activity we engage in, other than content generation.

One of the forums I frequent had an excellent post about this with a great list of resources (free for the most part) that we should all be utilizing. If you take the time (and make no mistake, this will take quite a bit of time) you will see targeted traffic coming to your site, blog or forum.

So without further ado, here is the list:

*************************************************************************************

Don't forget to submit your MLM business blog (if you have one) to all the Blog Search engines. This will get your blog information out much more quickly and help generate traffic to your site!

Some will get you in right away and others will take time. Just like a regular search engine- they will come by and "crawl" your blog periodically.

Here's a few you can check out:

Here's an interesting Blog (lots of those cropping up now adays)....

http://mlmlaw.blogspot.com/

Legal news, opinions and analysis about MLM, pyramid schemes, ponzi schemes and other suspect investment "opportunities."

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

Blogs seem to be all the rage...and a very useful tool for networking too.

You can learn more about blogs and make some new friends in this online community devoted to blogging:

http://blog-network.ryze.com/

=========

This site is just 1 source for creating your own blog...sponsored through Google:

http://www.blogger.com/start

Google's Blogger service also has a function that alot of people haven't yet discovered at http://www.AudioBlogger.com


===========

Here's another Ping service http://www.pingoat.com. Comes highly recommended from the Business Blogger Network on Ryze. I used to use Pingomatic but had some speed and downtime issues with it. Pingoat appears much faster, never down, and has a lot more places it pings....including international blog directories. Pretty cool.

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

There's 2 networks on http://www.Ryze.com (social/business networking community) called "Blogging For Business" and "Blogs and Bloggers" which have tons of great information....discussions and links for resources.

Join Ryze (it's free) and add these networks to your "list". Hope that helps some more folks.

My friend Priya Shah wrote a whitepaper called "Boost Your Search Engine Visibility With Blogs And RSS" for her new SEO firm.

You can send for it here: http://www.seoandmore.com/blogs-rss/

You can find a bunch of resources about blogging, bloging books, and tutorials at Blog Maniac: http://www.blog-maniac.com/

http://www.blogbrandz.com/ has articles and such with information you should find useful for your own business blogging.

I recently came across this "Weblog Resources FAQ" and thought it'd be useful......

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

My friend Julieanne found this resource. Good idea to include the link here for everyone: http://www.problogger.net/archives/2006/02/06/how-to-make-your-millions-through-blogging/

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

I just ran across this neat little tool today while doing some research for a spring cleaning of my blogs. It will automatically generate the html for RSS feed buttons (chicklets) you can then put on your blog to help visitors subscribe to your article feed.

Covers a lot of possible feed and subscribtion sources giving you and your readers lots of choices. Pretty cool...very fast...and really easy to use. Just fill in a couple boxes...click.... than cut & paste the html generated into your blog template.

My friends Ben Fitts and Jack Spirko of MarketingIce offer the below tip on RSS feeds......

-----

Submit RSS......

We've put together a list of rss submission tools and rss directories for you to submit your blogs to.

In our video Why Blog - The difference between blogs and websites - What is a blog? we talk about why blogs are better in some ways than web sites. One of the reasons is because you can submit rss feeds from your blog or your blog's main page to tons of web directories that wouldn't list your normal web site. In fact here is a list of over 70 places you can submit rss feeds from your blog too.

Each link opens in a new window so you don't loose your spot on our web site.
